Don't know if you can buy the tree sg, but I know several people who swear by Boswellia for pain relief.

You can buy Boswellin cream at iherb, it's not expensive.

Thanks Julie, anything natural that may take the place of dangerous drugs; ie Celebrex in this case so must be good! I see that all the boswellias are in the burseracea family. We had a prickly tree called Sweet Burseria in our area of Vic which was known as Barrier bush!

I've got a little Boswellia sacra seedling. I'm not sure whether to leave it in the shade house or bring it into the house over winter.
