Cheap Air Jordans Research on Guggulu (Commiphora |
|
Widely used in Ayurveda, the plant gum exudate of guggulu (Commiphora mukul) grows abundantly in the arid, rocky areas of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Assam in India,Cheap Air Jordans, and in Bangladesh. The freshly collected gum resin is pale yellow, brown or dull green in color; aged resin is dark brown in color. Guggulu has pungent, bitter,Fake Jordans Asbestos Exposure Risk Factors, astringent, and sweet tastes; its qualities are viscous, light, penetrating, and drying. It is hot in both potency and post-digestive effect, Vata and Kapha pacifying, and Pitta aggravating. Its actions are antiseptic, carminative, diaphoretic, diuretic, emmenagogue, expectorant, uterotonic, alternative, stomachic, and sedative.
Guggulu has traditionally been used in the treatment of various conditions and disorders including rheumatism, neurological disorders, obesity and related disorders, syphilis, bronchitis, catarrh, gingivitis, inflammation,Jordan Spizikes Forwarding/Sharing, pyorrhea, sores, tonsillitis, hysteria, mania, skin and urinary disorders
6.Finally, during the course of using guggulu one should avoid the following: foods that are sour or bitter in taste, alcohol, excessive exercise, physical and mental s
When administering guggulu in accordance with the principles of Ayurvedic medicine, the following points must be considered:
1.Guggulu resin is produced more abundantly and is stronger in potency during the season of autumn; hence, Ayurveda states that guggulu resin must be collected in autumn.
3.Guggulu has to be purified in cow's milk in order to remove toxic substances and render the guggulu easily absorbable. Ayurveda specifies Shodhana (purification) as one of the important procedures before oral administration of guggulu. To purify guggulu in this manner, it should be wrapped in a sack of cotton cloth and dipped in simmering cow's milk, which must be continuously stirred until all the pure substance of the guggulu is absorbed into the milk. When this process is complete, the milk containing the pure guggulu gum resin will be solidified and the cotton sack containing the impurities or toxins of the guggulu is to be discarded.
2.Different selections of guggulu resin have different therapeutic actions based on the age of the guggulu. Freshly collected guggulu has a Brumhana (weight increasing) quality, where as Purana guggulu (guggulu which is at least one year old) has an Atilekhana (weight reducing) quality.
Recently, the results of a clinical study conducted at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). This study showed that guggulipid administered alone over an 8-week period to a group of 103 participants eating a typical Western diet "did not appear to improve levels of serum cholesterol over the short term in this population of adults with hypercholesterolemia, and might in fact raise levels of LDL-C." The results went on to state that, "Guggulipid also appeared to cause a dermatologic hypersensitivity reaction in some patients."
5.The dosage for guggulu varies from person to person, and Prakriti --individual mind-body type or constitution-- must be taken into account when administering Guggulu. Being hot in potency, it should be used in lower dosage in people of Pitta constitution as compared to Vata and Kapha individuals. Guggulu administered in excessive dosages to Pitta individuals may cause skin irritation and other blood related disorders.
4.Classical Ayurvedic texts never recommend administering guggulu alone; it has to be given along with other herbs in compounds such as Triphala Guggulu, Kaishore Guggulu,Jordan Cool Greys, Trayodashanga Guggulu, Yogaraja Guggulu, Kanchanara Guggulu, etc. The administration of guggulu with other herbs has the effect of purging Ama (toxic, morbid substance) from the body. Guggulu administered alone cannot purge toxins from the body; in fact, guggulu administered alone will most likely cause all the secreted or displaced toxins from the various body's systems to re-circulate within the physiology.
