Pure Guggul (गुग्गुल)

Guggul has a long history of traditional use, dating back to at least 1000 BCE when it makes an appearance in all of the classical Ayurvedic texts, including the “Sushruta Samhita”. It was used at that time for “clearing the coating and obstruction of channels” and was especially recommended for the treatment of rheumatic pains and obesity

Part of a botanical family that includes myrrh, the unusual resin of this shrub reduces both “vata”, the element that governs the body’s moving parts and functions, and “kapha”, which governs structure.

Guggul is also traditionally used as an incense during the worship of the gods, with the belief that its smoke would ward off evil spirits.

Guggul, also known by the name Guggulu which means to protect against diseases, is a popular herb among Ayurvedic practitioners for treating a variety of medical conditions, including high cholesterol and high blood pressure. It is made from the oily sap or gum resin of the guggul tree. Guggul has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries
