Gulika

GULIKA:

In Ayruveda, we use a variety of drugs in their different prepared forms.  According to the mode of preparation, the benefit from the medicine also varies. The drugs we use are herbal, and using different parts of the plant in different forms give different effects.   Some of the drugs are powdered and we use different methods to prepare medicine, so that maximum medicinal contents  can be extracted.

In Gulika the drugs are powdered and are pounded with suitable solvents to make it a paste. The paste is thoroughly mixed until a firm mass is obtained. The tablet is made from firm mass. Gulika is given internally with suitable Anupanas like Kashayas, Arishtas (Yogaraja guggulu, Kaisoora guggulu etc..) and also for external application in diffferent diseases (Karuthavattu,Vilwadi Gulika etc..).
