Thank you Reju ji...& Sheji ji 
Yes Sheji ji it was grown in our garden days back...but to maintain it here under this climatic condition seems to be a challenge... the growth seems to be sluggish now...anyways it is alive...we are happy for that...

Guggul is a resin known to increase white blood cell counts and possess strong disinfecting properties. It has long been known to lower cholesterol and triglycerides, while maintain or improve the HDL to LDL ratio. It is one of the very first "broad spectrum drugs" with a wide therapeutic range. A broad mode of action makes this herb very helpful even in protecting against ailments such as common cold, and various skin, dental and ophthalmic infections.
