Clinical Indications Of Navaka Guggulu An Experiential And Scientific View

Abstract

Guggulu (Commiphora wightii Arn. Bhandari) is the major constituent in Navaka Guggulu, a  well-known polyherbal preparation. Medoroga (hyperlipidemia), Sthaulya (obesity), and other  Kaphaja rogas benefit from it. Fresh (Naveena) Guggulu is said to have a Brimhana (body  mass growing) impact, whereas aged (Purana) Guggulu is said to have an Atilekhana (body  mass decreasing) effect (scrapping). The current research discusses the clinical indications of  Navaka guggulu from a scientific and practical standpoint. The pungent flavor, light and dry  qualities, and dominant medications Ushna Veerya and KatuVipaka in Navaka Guggulu have  all the properties to break down the etiology of hyperlipidemia. These qualities are beneficial  in lowering the lipid profile. The present paper highlights about the clinical indications of  Navaka guggulu in a scientific and experiential view.
