Name: Guggal gum

Other Names: Mo Yao, Balsamodendron myrrha, gum myrrh tree, Commiphora resin, resin, Commiphora molmol

Description: Guggal gum is also known as Commiphora myrrha, Balsamodendron myrrha, gum myrrh tree, Commiphora resin or resin. Guggal gum is a shrub or small tree indigenous to desert areas of North Africa and the Red Sea shores of Saudi Arabia. Guggal gum grows up to 3m in height and has tough, knotted branches and spine-tipped twigs sparsely covered with small, trifoliate, irregular leaves. The oleo-gum resin exudes from fissures or incisions in the bark and is collected as irregular masses. Guggal gum achieves its antimicrobial action by stimulating the production of white blood corpuscles and also by its direct antimicrobial effect. It is of great value in the treatment of mouth infections such as ulcers, gingivitis and pyorrhoea, as well as the catarrhal problems such as pharyngitis and sinusitis. Systemically, it is used in the treatment of boils and similar conditions as well as glandular fever and brucellosis. Externally, it is healing and antiseptic for wounds and abrasions and is suitable as a douche. It is a useful tonic in dyspepsia. The oil is used in chest rubs for bronchitis and catarrhal colds.
