The history of guggul goes as far back as 1700 BC. Ancient script on medicine and surgery; Sushrut Samhita, describes that guggul when taken orally can cure internal tumors, malignant sores, obesity, liver dysfunction, intestinal worms, leucoderma, sinus, and edema. It is also used as an Ayurvedic medicine for the prevention and treatment of various other diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcers, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes etc. The main ingredients of guggul are guggulsterone (GS) and boswellic acid (BA).
