Abstract

Guggulu, commonly referred to as Commiphora mukul, is a resin sourced from the mukul myrrh tree and has been a fundamental aspect of Ayurvedic medicine for many years. Celebrated for its potent antiinflammatory, lipid-lowering, and detoxifying effects, Guggulu is frequently included in various traditional Ayurvedic formulations such as Yogaraj Guggulu, Kaishore Guggulu, and Triphaladi Guggulu. As interest in natural medicine revives, it has become crucial to learn how to utilize Guggulu effectively—and safely. This article delves into the appropriate dosage, health advantages, and safety factors linked to Guggulu, drawing from both traditional texts and contemporary clinical findings.
