What is guggul?

Guggul is a small, thorny tree most commonly found in India, in arid climates such as the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. The resin is obtained from the secretions of trees, which are dried. The name Guggul comes from the Sanskrit name Guggulu, which means "to protect against disease". It is a relative of the African myrrh tree, which is why it is also called Indian myrrh. Guggul resin has a less bitter smell than myrrh from Africa and Arabia.
