Introduction

Guggulu is one of the most important drugs used in Ayurveda. It has also been investigated by modern pharmacologists and the studies have confirmed the medicinal properties attributed to it in Ayurveda. The formulations which contain Guggulu are also dispensed by Ayurvedic physicians all over India and abroad.

In this book, I have dealt with Guggulu and its formulations.

I am grateful to Shri Yellappa Reddy, former Secretary, Govt. of Karnataka and Dr. Keshavamurthy of Regional Research Centre (Ayurveda) Jayanagar, Bangalore for furnishing me with line drawings and photographs of Guggulu. The cover photograph has been taken from the book The Pharmacological and Clinical Studies of Guggulu in hyper lipidaemia/lipid metabolism, published by the Central Council for Research in Ayurveda and Siddha (Ministry of Health and Family Welfare), Govt. of India, New Delhi, 1992.

I am grateful to Sri Daivajna K.N.Somayaji, Chief Editor and Director, Kalpatharu Research Academy, and to the Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Bharathi Tritha Swamiji of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham, the chief patron, and Sri V.R.Gowrishankar the chairman of the Academy, for publishing this book. I thank Sri P.S. Venkatesh Babu and Sri B. Nagendra of Omkar Offset Printers for printing this book in an excellent manner.
