Extract of Guggul 100g Powder 

Guggul, also known as Gum Guggul, Guggula, or Gugulipid, is the gum resin obtained from a variety of plants native to India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan¹. Some of the major species include Commiphora wightii, Commiphora gileadensis, Commiphora mukul, Boswellia serrata, and Boswellia sacra¹. All species are a part of the Burseraceae family, also known as the incense family¹.

Guggul has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine, a holistic, plant-derived medical system, to treat various health conditions, such as obesity, arthritis, and inflammation¹. Guggul contains a mixture of plant compounds, including steroids, essential oils, lignans, flavonoids, carbohydrates, and amino acids — all of which may be responsible for its various health effects¹.

Purported to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it has been used in ancient medicine to protect against a variety of diseases¹. Here are some of the benefits and uses of Guggul¹:

• Acne: Guggul has been studied for its potential to treat acne. It has been shown to be effective in both complementary and alternative treatments for nodulocystic acne, a severe form of acne affecting the face, chest, and back¹.
• Eczema, Psoriasis, and Skin Irritation: Eczema and psoriasis are both noncontagious skin conditions that are mainly caused by inflammation of the skin. Guggul-based creams have been shown to improve itchiness, redness or skin discoloration, and inflammation in people with psoriasis and eczema¹.
• Weight Loss: Guggul is praised for its anti-inflammatory properties. Preliminary research suggests it may help treat certain anti-inflammatory conditions, such as obesity¹.
• Hypothyroidism: It has also been used to treat hypothyroidism¹.
• Cholesterol and Blood Sugar Levels Management: Guggul has been used to manage cholesterol and blood sugar levels¹.

However, clinical studies supporting all of these benefits and uses are generally limited¹. Please note that these medicines should be used under medical supervision¹. Always consult an Ayurvedic expert before taking these formulations and follow the dosage strictly¹
