The oleo-gum-resin secreted by this plant (Guggul) has always been the main remedies of Ayurvedic and Unani systems of healthcare and medicine, mostly used in rheumatic and gastrointestinal disorders. However, since early 1970s, accumulating experimentel and clinical studies have shown that this plant possesses antiatherossslerotic, hypolipodaemic, antiarthritic, antihyertensive, antiulc actionergenic and antibacterial actions , and also ameliorates the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Considerable interest hasalso currently focused on the innovative mechanism underlying the diverse actions of Commiphora mukul.
