  Benefits of Angelica:- Angelica is a widely cultivated, scented, northern European herb with fleshy, spindle-shaped roots, an erect stalk, and many greenish-yellow flowers arranged in an umbrella-like shape. The seeds are oblong and off-white. It is similar to and sometimes confused with the extremely toxic water hemlock, Cicuta maculata.  There are several recognized varieties of A. archangelica, wild and cultivated. In the US, Angelica atropurpurea often is cultivated in place of the European species. The oil has been used medicinally to stimulate gastric secretion and treat gas, and to topically treat rheumatic and skin disorders.  The Ayurvedic medical system suggests angelica for CNS effects.

Guggulu(Kommiphora wightii) Health Benefits

-

 Health Benefits of Guggulu:-


Guggulu or Commiphora mukul is a potent purifying herb, which comes from the flowering Mukul myrrh tree found in arid climates in India. Ancient Ayurvedic texts have mentions of guggulu as a purifying herb that protects from diseases. For thousands of years, it has been in use to cure sinuses, treat obesity, soothe inflamed joints and relieve chronic skin disorders. It is also prescribed as a recommended treatment for the obstruction of channels caused due to lack of exercise and excessive consumption of fatty foods.

Benefits of Guggulu:-


The herb is known to cleanse unhealthy tissues and increase the white blood cell count within the body

It is beneficial for any condition characterized by congestion and stagnation

It promotes detoxification and rejuvenation

The resin of this tree balances the body’s Kapha Dosha. 


It has the potential to carry other herbs deep into the tissues

It assists in the maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels and weight management

It supports healthy muscle and nerve tissues and promotes the comfortable movement of the joints

It helps to maintain bone porosity in old age. For the treatment of osteoarthritis naturally, you can go for GT Capsule by Kerala Ayurveda. It consists of a potent form of herbs like guggulu, neem, guduchi, patola, vasa among many others to fight cervical and lumbar spondylosis and other degenerative diseases as well

Guggulu is one of the best Ayurvedic supplements for people who have accumulated toxins in their body due to stress or serious illness

Its purifying properties help people recover from drug or alcohol addiction.


As far-fetched as it may seem, preliminary research suggests that a guggul extract may help fight certain types of cancer. Most of the evidence is based on test tubes studies in which guggulsterone appears to suppress enzymes (known as protein kinase) that promote tumor growth while stimulating other proteins that trigger apoptosis in tumor cells.

Among some of the tumor cell line partially or fully neutralized in the lab are breast cancer, colon cancer, esophageal cancer, leukemia, liver cancer, and prostate cancer.

Guggul is believed to be relatively safe if used in moderation. Common side effects include headache, nausea, diarrhea, bloating, hiccups, and vomiting. Little is known about the long-term safety of guggul, although medical literature suggests few if any symptoms after 24 weeks of use.
