Guggul / Indian Bdellium Resin (Commiphora wightii) | Natural Ayurvedic Resin & Traditional Healing Incense

What is Guggul?

Guggul, scientifically known as Commiphora wightii, is a fragrant resin extracted from the bark of a small shrub native to the arid regions of central India. Also called Indian Bdellium or Common Myrrh, this resin has been revered for centuries in Ayurveda and traditional medicine for its wide range of therapeutic and spiritual benefits. Guggul’s warm, balsamic aroma—with subtle earthy, herbaceous, and vanilla undertones—makes it a unique natural incense and healing ingredient.

Traditional Uses & Health Benefits of Guggul

• Ayurvedic Medicine: Guggul is a cornerstone herb in Ayurveda, used to support healthy metabolism, joint function, and overall detoxification. Its resin is prized for balancing bodily energies (doshas) and promoting vitality.

• Purifying and Energizing Incense: When burnt, Guggul produces a dense, fragrant smoke believed to cleanse the environment, purify the air, and uplift the spirit. This ritualistic use is popular in Indian households and temples for spiritual cleansing and meditation.

• Aromatherapy and Well-being: The soothing scent of Guggul incense fosters calmness, mental clarity, and emotional balance, making it an ideal choice for relaxation and enhancing meditation practices.

• Traditional Ritual Significance: Guggul holds a sacred place in various cultural ceremonies and rites, where it is used to sanctify spaces and invoke positive energy.
