Guggul is actually a gum resin from the Mukul myrrh tree, which is common in India, and it has a deep penetrating effect on arthritis. Also, very importantly, it helps rid the body of unwanted toxins, which is particularly important with arthritis as this condition thrives in a body that has toxins.
If you have arthritis, chances are your body is not only acidic but has excess mucus. This herb can help you. Be sure to take it in combination with other herbs as then it has the best effect.
You can also help with removing most acid forming foods from your diet. If you can’t stop drinking coffee (very acid forming), then cut it down to one or two cups and drink lots of water afterward as this helps flush out toxins. Meat is another culprit so decrease your meat consumption and increase your intake of vegetables and salads. These simple steps will do a lot to help you.
