Medroga, the original set of ailments for which Guggul is indicated in centuries-old Ayurveda is similar to modern day diseases related to body’s fat related metabolism e.g. excessive weight, atherosclerosis, high cholesterol etc.
Guggul extracts are traditionally used by Ayurvedic practitioners for ailments such as lowering bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
The benefits of Guggul as a fat burning agent has been well established all over the world and is currently becoming very popular in America, Japan, Europe and many other western nations. Guggul is a resin known to increase white blood cell counts and possess strong disinfecting properties. It is one of the very first "broad spectrum drugs" with a wide therapeutic range. A broad mode of action makes this herb very helpful even in protecting against ailments such as common cold, and various skin, dental and ophthalmic infections.
One of the most famous herbs in Ayurvedic medicine, Guggul possesses strong purifying and rejuvenating powers. People today most commonly use it to benefit from Guggul's lipid regulating and immunomodulating properties. Studies have shown that Guggul can lower blood cholesterol by 14-27% and can lower triglycerides by 22-30%. The effects that Himalaya Guggul has on the blood cholesterol levels is comparable to prescription medications but, being a natural plant extract, it is a far superior and much safer product. Guggul works on the liver by increasing the metabolism (or break down) of the bad cholesterol known as LDL Cholesterol. After taking the product for 4 to 12 weeks, total cholesterol levels can drop, triglyceride levels can drop and an increase in HDL (the good cholesterol) of approximately 16% can occur. The benefits of guggul as a weight-loss and fat burning agent have been well researched and documented in several studies.

Guggul Facts:
Botanical Name : : COMMIPHORA MUKUL
Family Name: : BURSERACEAE
Common Name: : COMMIPHORA, MUKUL, GUGGUL, BALSAMODENDROM MUKUL, INDIAN BDELLIUM TREE, MOQL, MOQLE-ARZAGI
Guggul is found in the rocky tracks of Western India and Eastern Himalayas.
The active ingredients in guggul are a group of natural plant sterols. Among these, substances called "guggulsterones" are the most important ingredients for the cholesterol and blood fat lowering properties of guggul, with the other sterols acting as a synergistic supporting cast.4 A number of mechanisms are suggested, although not definitely proven, for how the herb works; these include reducing the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver, enhancing cholesterol removal from the gut, stimulating thyroid function and increasing the number of receptors in the liver for uptake of LDL.
It is Carminative, Antispasmodic, Disphoretic, Ecobolic, Anti suppurative and Emmenagodue. Gum resin used for treatment of rheumatoid arthiritis. It is a potent drug for cardiac disorders high cholesterol. It is an ingredient for over fifty compounds
Guggul in Ayurveda:
Back in 1966, an Indian researcher found references to Guggul in a centuries-old Ayurvedic text and submitted a doctoral thesis on gum guggul. The herb is mentioned in the Vedas, the holy scriptures of India believed to be anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 years old. Translated from Sanskrit, this text describes, in elegant detail, a condition called "coating and obstruction of channels." with the cause believed to be faulty metabolism due to overeating of fatty foods and lack of exercise. The recommended treatment plan emphasized diet and herbs, chiefly guggul. In the researcher's study conducted on rabbits, guggul consistently produced substantial reductions in cholesterol and triglyceride levels, while raising HDL
Guggul Research and Clinical Studies
Numerous studies have been undertaken to research the benefits of guggul.
The ability of guggulsterones to prevent oxidation of LDL was discovered in a 1997 study done by scientists at the Central Drug Research Institute in Lucknow, India. This study sheds light on how guggul works against "coating and obstruction of channels." Oxidized LDL forms the plaque that coats and eventually obstructs blood vessels. The researchers mixed LDL from human blood with a free radical promoting agent, either alone or in combination with guggulsterones. Samples were then analyzed for the presence LDL oxidation byproducts. The results showed that guggulsterones strongly protect LDL from being oxidized. Guggulsterones block the formation of hydroxyl radicals, a potent type of free-radical that attacks cell membranes.
One 12-week study demonstrated that 1500 milligrams of guggulipid had average reduction in serum cholesterol of nearly 22%, while triglycerides were reduced about 25% in people who took it regularly. Another study showed that guggulipid works best for people who have high cholesterol reading of the type IIb (increased LDL, VLDL, and triglycerides) and type IV (increased VLDL and triglycerides). A third study involving 233 people with elevated cholesterol or triglycerides levels (or both) showed that guggulipid worked better than the cholesterol-lowering drug Clofibrate. People taking guggul had the added benefit of seeing some improvements in HDL, the “good cholesterol” - an effect that was not in evidence with the pharmaceutical.
Recent research published in the Cardiovascular Drug Review show the therapeutic effects of guggul on the heart.
Guggul's cardiovascular benefits are derived from the multiple pharmacological activities of Guggulsterone the bioactive constituent responsible for guggul's therapeutic effects. The most important are its hypolipidemic, antioxidant, and antiinflammatory activities.
Studies demonstrate that guggulsterone upregulates the bile salt export pump (BSEP). The BSEP removes cholesterol metabolites, bile acids from the liver. The guggulsterone action promotes cholesterol metabolism into bile acids, and is another possible mechanism for its hypolipidemic activity.
Guggulsterone has been found to potently inhibit the activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), which triggers inflammatory responses. Repressing NF-kappaB has been proposed as a mechanism of the antiinflammatory effect of guggulsterone
