Project Profile
- Commiphora wightii (Guggal, Guggul or
Mukul myrrh tree) is a flowering plant in the family Burseraceae.
- It is a shrub or small tree, reaching a
maximum height of 4 m, with thin papery bark.
- The branches are thorny. The leaves are
simple or trifoliate, the leaflets ovate, 1-5 cm long, 0.5-2.5 cm broad,
irregularly toothed.
- It is gynodioecious, with some plants
bearing bisexual and male flowers, and others with female flowers. The
individual flowers are red to pink, with four small petals.
- The extract, called gugulipid, guggulipid
or guglipid, comes from the guggal or guggul tree and has been used in
Ayurvedic medicine, a traditional Hindu medicine, for nearly 3,000 years in
India.
- Guggul is sought for its gummy resin,
which is harvested from the plant's bark through the process of tapping.
- Guggul contains essential oils, myrcene,
Z and E guggulsterones, alpha-camphorene, various other guggulsterones, and
makulol.
- Guggul contains resin, volatile oils, and
gum. The extract isolates ketonic steroid compounds known as guggulsterones.
These compounds provide the cholesterol- and triglyceride-lowering actions
for guggul.
- Guggul significantly lowers serum
triglycerides and cholesterol as well as LDL and VLDL cholesterols.
- Guggul resin is produced more abundantly
and is stronger in potency during the season of autumn; hence, Ayurveda
states that guggul resin must be collected in autumn.
