DescriptionGuggulu is an exudate (Niryasa) obtained from the plant Commiphora mukul. Preparations having the exudates as main effective ingredient are known as Guggulu. There are five different varieties of Guggulu described in the Ayurvedic texts. However two of the varieties; namely; Mahishaksa and Kanaka Guggulu are usually preferred for medicinal preparations. Mahishaksa Guggulu is dark greenish brown and Kanaka Guggulu is yellowish brown in color. Before using; Guggulu is cleaned in the following manner: 1. Sand; stone; plant debris; glass etc. are first removed. 2. It is then broken into small pieces. 3. It is thereafter bundled in a piece of cloth and boiled in Dola Yantra containing any one of the following fluids. a. Gomootra; b. Triphala kashaya; c. Nirgundipatra Svarasa with Haridra Coorna; d. Vasapatra Kashaya; e. Vasapatra Svarasa and f. Dugdha. The boiling of Guggulu in Dola Yantra is carried on until all the Guggulu passes into the fluid through the cloth. By pressing with fingers; much of the fluid that can pass through is taken out. The residue in the bundle is discarded. The fluid is filtered and again boiled till it forms a mass. This mass is dried and then pounded with a pestle in a stone mortar; adding ghee in small quantities till it becomes waxy. Guggulu cleaned as above; is soft; waxy and brown in color. Characteristics of preparations of guggulu vary depending on the other ingredients added to the preparations. Guggulu is kept in glass or porcelain jars free from moisture and stored in a cool place. The potency is maintained for two years when prepared with ingredients of plant origin and indefinitely when prepared with metals and minerals.

Formulation NameTriphala Ghrta
MethodTake all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality. Wash and dry all the herbal raw materials thoroughly. Treat Ghrta to prepare Moorchita Ghrta (Appendix 6.2.8.2). Pulverize ingredient 22 (consisting of Triphala ingredients) to a coarse powder; add 8 parts of water; heat and reduce the volume to one fourth. Filter with muslin cloth to obtain Triphala kvatha. *Equal parts of Haritaki; Amalaki and Bibhitaka. Take the other ingredients numbered 1 to 19 in the formulation composition (Kalka dravya); powder and pass through sieve number 85. Transfer the powdered ingredients to wet grinder and grind with sufficient quantity of water to prepare a homogeneous blend (Kalka) Take Moorchita Ghrta in a stainless steel vessel and heat it mildly. Add increments of Kalka. Stir thoroughly while adding Triphala kvatha and Godugdha in the specified ratio. Heat for 3 h with constant stirring maintaining the temperature between 500 and 900 during the first hour of heating. Stop heating and allow to stand overnight. Start heating next day and observe the boiling mixture for subsidence of froth (phena santi) and constantly check the kalka for formation of varti (madhyama paka lakshana). Expose the varti to flame and confirm the absence of crackling sound indicating absence of moisture. Stop heating when the kalka forms into a varti and the froth subsides. Filter while hot (about 800) through a muslin cloth and allow to cool. Pack it in tightly closed glass containers to protect from light and moisture.
