Commentary:
Simhanad Guggulu is traditional compound used to address rheumatic conditions. According to Ayurveda, rheumatism is viewed as the body's inflammatory reaction to an excessive amount of toxins in the system. Simhanad Guggulu combines the potent cleansing ingredients of castor oil and triphala, which remove toxins from the joints, blood and GI tract. In addition, it contains anti-inflammatory agents, such as guggulu, that work to calm and sooth painful and swollen joints. This formula serves to rejuvenate the body and improve digestion, thus minimizing further production of toxins and rheumatic symptoms.
Notes:
For vata-type arthritis, consider Triphala Guggulu
For pitta-type arthritis, consider Kaishore Guggulu
For kapha-type arthritis or excess swelling, consider Punarnavadi Guggulu
