Guggulu resin (Commiphora mukul) is a penetrating herb that scrapes out naturally accumulating toxins from the body channels. It is renowned for its ability to carry other herbs with it deep into the tissues. Guggulu's powerful detoxifying and rejuvenating qualities are directed to specific systems of the body by the herbs that accompany it. As such it is the basis for an entire class of traditional Ayurvedic formulas known as guggulus. Its scraping action helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels already in the normal range and supports healthy weight management. Guggulu supports healthy muscle and nerve tissue and promotes comfortable movement of the joints. Some classic healthy joint and tissue formulas include Yogaraj Guggulu (for vata imbalances), Kaishore Guggulu (for pitta imbalances), and Punarnavadi Guggulu (for kapha imbalances).* Using traditional Ayurvedic methods, this guggulu powder has been purified in a decoction of Triphala.
