Guggulu is a powerful and celebrated resin also known as a gum due to its sticky characteristics, and as one might imagine, these sticky and malleable qualities of Guggul make it one of the best cleansing agents in all of Ayurveda. Guggulu is strongly purifying and rejuvenating to the whole body in general, but especially to the respiratory, digestive, nervous and circulatory systems. Guggul’s nature is to penetrate all levels of the body and collect toxins, fats, and ama which it then mobilizes for expulsion, leaving the body cleaner, and the channels clearer than ever before. These profound activities of Guggulu have won it a popularity among ayurvedic formulations that is likely unmatched among any other ayurvedic herb.
