What You Need to Know About Boswellic Acids (Active Components in Frankincense Hydrosol)

Boswellic acids from frankincense have been studied for their general anti-inflammatory properties, including inhibition of 5-LOX pathways and reduced leukotriene production in various models.
General review on therapeutic properties (including anti-inflammatory effects): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27117114/
Role in chronic inflammatory diseases (discusses 5-LOX inhibition): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27671822/
Supportive use of a Boswellia-containing nutraceutical in upper respiratory and otitis media cases in children (as adjunct therapy): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36011184/
What You Need to Know About DMSO
DMSO is recognized in research as a penetration enhancer for topical applications and has been explored in older studies for potential ear-related support.
Review on drug delivery across middle/inner ear barriers (discusses trans-tympanic approaches and chemical enhancers): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34795553/
Historical study on DMSO (combined with other agents) for subjective tinnitus symptoms: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1055561/
What You Need to Know About Structured Silver in EarClear
Structured silver refers to advanced silver nanoparticles, which research shows may offer antimicrobial properties in lab and topical settings.
