Gugul or Indian myrrh tree

Gugul is an essential resin that has been one of the most important incense and medicinal resins in India, Nepal, and Tibet for thousands of years. There are many names by which he is called: Indian myrrh, the botanical name Commiphora wightii, mukul, guggul. It is particularly prevalent in northern India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and isolated parts of North Africa. This juice, collected from injuries to the trunk of the Indian myrtle tree and processed accordingly, is the central incense of all Buddhist and Hindu temples around the world.

According to Tibetan traditions, the gugul has the property of calming the environment, cleansing it of negative forces, and removing obstacles. It is used in Tibetan healing and obstacle-removing rituals. Traditional texts describe that one true Tibetan Yogi, or ngakpa, must always carry three obstacle-carrying things with it – a phurba or ritual knife, mustard seeds, and a gugul.

Gugul‘s sweet and delicate aroma creates a pleasant and homely atmosphere, and together with its strong healing properties, it has also been very popular in the West for thousands of years. Gugul was known to the Hebrews, Romans, and ancient Greeks. The oldest western documents come from Alexander the Great.

The most important ingredient in Gugul is the steroid guggulsterone, which has antibacterial properties. It is one of the most effective natural antiseptics.

Traditionally, in Ayurvedic, Tibetan, and Chinese medicine, gugul has been combined with other herbs to treat arthritis, skin diseases, nervous system pain, obesity, digestive problems, oral infections, and menstrual problems. In the early 1960s, Indian researchers discovered an ancient Sanskrit medical text describing the symptoms of high cholesterol and treatment with gugul. Today, gugul is used to lower high cholesterol in arthritis and acne.
