Frankincense contains an antidepressant that crosses the blood-brain barrier

Incensole acetate, a compound found in boswellia resin (frankincense), activates TRPV3 ion channels in the brain and shows antidepressant and anxiolytic effects in animal models. It actually crosses the blood-brain barrier. Nobody in the supplement industry is talking about boswellia for mental health. Currently it is exclusively positioned for joints. The neuroinflammation angle is entirely virgin territory.Publications of interest:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18492727/, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2493463/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23015543/
