It is a powerful antioxidant and helps to lower cholesterol. Curcumin benefits include the ability to stave off cancer development naturally. Boswellia is an herbal supplement and it provides important therapeutic benefits for brain tumor patients. It helps to control edema, tumor growth and proliferation of cancer. Ayurvedic physicians are aware of the anti inflammatory properties of Boswellia and Curcumin since ancient times which have been used for centuries. Boswellia and Curcumin promote immune system health, thus making it less prone to development to cancer. Extensive research has been conducted on the use of Boswellia with Curcumin for Cancer treatment. The combination of antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties of Boswellia with Curcumin can be highly effective in preventing as well as treating various types of cancer. Various studies have suggested the action of Boswellia and Curcumin in curbing growth of cancer. The antioxidant properties of both these herbal supplements are beneficial in fighting free radicals which prevents oxidative DNA damage that can lead to cancer.

Curcumin induces cell death in cancer cells and it acts from the very onset of cancer. It is capable of identifying cancerous cells and stops the multiplication of cancer cells. According to a latest report, Curcumin helps to curb the development of breast cancer. It stops the inflammation caused by the enzyme COX-2 that could be the precursor to cancer. Curcumin suppresses vascular epithelial growth that are said to be responsible for blood supply to the tumor. A study was conducted on animals and it was observed that Curcumin can prevent colon, breast and skin cancer. Boswellia plays an important role in treating brain cancer. Boswellia is commonly used for treating inflammation due to its action as an NF-KappaB inhibitor. It is neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and also used in the treatment of traumatic brain injuries. Boswellia decreases the brain swelling from glioblastoma. The combination of Boswellia with Curcumin works very well in the treatment of brain cancer.

Boswellia-Curcumin complex is an herbal supplement designed to maintain healthy joints and support body's normal resistance function. Standardized levels of both Boswellia and Curcumin inhibit hippocampal neurodegeneration and exert a beneficial effect after closed head injury. The combination is gaining importance in the treatment of edema surrounding tumors and prevents the formation of cancer. A study suggested that this combination might be considered as an alternative to corticosteroids in reducing cerebral peritumoral edema. It is important to find ways to reduce or replace steroid use in the treatment of brain tumors. Steroid drugs may protect brain tumor cells. Boswellia in combination with Curcumin is very useful for the treatment of primary brain tumors. Studies have suggested that in addition to helping reduce cerebral swelling around the tumor, the combination also kills glioblastoma cells in a natural way. The combination is also useful for the treatment of secondary brain tumors. Some researchers reported using Boswellia with Curcumin is helpful to treat a patient with breast cancer metastasis to the brain. The research team tried the combination with secondary brain tumors and observed benefit. After some weeks of the treatment in combination with radiation treatment, all signs of brain metastases on the patient had disappeared.

A number of studies focus specifically on using Boswellia with Curcumin in connection with brain cancer. The combination turns off the signals in the cells that protect glioblastoma cells and thus allowing the suicide process to destroy the cancer cells. Curcumin has a similar action against other types of brain tumor which include meduloblastoma cells and pituitary cancers. Curcumin inhibits pituitary cancer and it also slows growth of pituitary tumors. It inhibits production of excess pituitary hormones by tumors and prevents the formation of cancer. The mechanism of action of Boswellia with Curcumin is complex. It acts through multiple pathways and interferes with the growth of cancer growth. It further stimulates destruction of cancer. The combination decreases Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) which is a chemical that promotes tumor migration and invasion to other cells. Recent article in brain research confirms that Curcumin crosses the blood brain barrier and reaches any tumor cells present in the brain. A Scientific Journal reported that Curcumin sensitized glioma cells to several of the chemotherapy drugs often used to treat brain cancers. The findings support a role for Curcumin as an adjunct to chemotherapy in the treatment of brain cancer.

Most Ayurvedic physicians have recommended that Boswellia-Curcumin combination can enhance healthy lifestyle of all persons. Boswellic acid possess strong anti inflammatory activity and inhibits migration of leukocytes, suppresses antibody production and inhibits activation of pathways leading to cancer formation. Boswellic acid has analgesic activity and it prevents degradation of cartilage matrix. On the other hand, Curcumin possesses a variety of biological activities which include anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anticarcinogenic. It has been reported to induce glutathione S-transferase (enzyme) and used as a natural cancer prevention agent. Curcumin is also a potent inhibitor of lipooxygenase, ornithine decarboxylase and protein kinase C. It has been demonstrated to play an important role against atherosclerosis and some neurodegenerative diseases. Other benefits of Boswellia-Curcumin combination include osteoarthritis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, Asthma, prevention of tumor, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

Curcumin possess powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects within the body. It plays an important role by protecting against estrogen-mimicking chemicals, suppressing pro-inflammatory enzymes and promotes normal cell cycle growth. In Ayurveda, Boswellia has been used for centuries to treat a variety of inflammation causing diseases such as arthritis, liver disease, neurologic disorders, skin infections etc. It is well documented that Curcumin acts as a powerful inhibitor of EGFR receptors. Experimental studies on animals, followed by clinical trials have shown that Curcumin inhibits the growth of colon cancer cells. It also reduces tumor incidence in high risk individuals. Curcumin also inhibits the EGFR receptor. This way, it inhibits the propagation of metabolic reactions such as decreased synthesis of the tumor promoting messenger NF-kB. It further leads to inhibition of replication of cancer cells and preneoplastic cells. Curcumin inhibits the synthesis of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins. Inhibition of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins reduces risk of colon cancer. Aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs used to reduce incidence of colon cancer may cause gastrointestinal disorders leading to ulceration and bleeding disorders. But, Curcumin acts as a natural supplement and does not produce any side effects. Daily supplementation with Curcumin has been found effective and it helps to reduce risk of development of colon cancer. Prostaglandin series-2 has been shown to contribute to the cancer process through increased proliferation and enhanced carcinogen metabolism. Boswellia also blocks the activity of cyclooxygenase and inhibits synthesis of prostaglandin series-2. Both the combination of Boswellia with Curcumin has shown satisfactory results agents to reduce risk of various types of cancer and including colon cancer.

Many Ayurvedic physicians have recognized the value of Boswellia and Curcumin as non-toxic and anti-inflammatory herbal supplements.

Boswellia with Curcumin demonstrates excellent anti-cancer properties. The main ingredients in both these herbal supplements have an anti-inflammatory effect, including antitumor and ant proliferative properties against tumor cells. Boswellia has been traditionally used as anti-arthritic and anti-cancer supplement. Boswellic acid was found to be inhibitors of topoisomerases. These properties are key factors in the prevention and control of cancer. Supporting evidence has shown that Boswellia inhibits cell growth and induces cell death in prostate cancer cells by inhibition of enzyme 5-lipoxygenase. The anti-inflammatory herbal supplements Curcumin and Boswellia have also been shown to inhibit prostaglandin series-2 synthesis. More experimental evidence suggests that their active ingredients possess important anti-tumor and anti-cancer properties. All health practitioners may recommend their patients suffering from cancer to take an herbal combination supplement containing Boswellia and Curcumin. Boswellia with Curcumin in cancer works in a natural way in most cancer prevention programs. The combination has an important application in the prevention and treatment of various types of cancer.
