Kanchnar Guggulu
Kanchnar Guggulu
Kanchnar Guggulu is a traditional classic polyherbal formulation used for the treatment of tumors, cystic swelling, PCOS, and ulcers. It reduces swellings and lumps by drying the excess Kapha and fluid in the body. It contains ingredients which show anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, diuretic, and decongestant properties that help to promote healthy function of the body[1].

2. Thyroid function
The thyroid gland plays a major role in the metabolism, growth and development of the human body. According to Ayurveda, thyroid function is regulated by Pitta. In hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, aggravated Kapha and Medha Dhathu obstruct the function of Pitta which could lead to hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Kanchnar Guggulu works by balancing Kapha and reducing Medha Dhatu. This removes the obstruction because of its Lekhana (scrapping) nature, thereby helping the thyroid function normally.
3. Lipoma:
A lipoma is a slow-growing, fatty lump which develops beneath the layer of the skin. In Ayurveda, lipoma can be correlated with Medoj Granthi based on similar signs and symptoms. Aggravated Kapha and Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion) are responsible for Medoj Granthi or lipoma. Taking Kanchnar Guggulu helps balance Kapha and reduces Ama. Altogether, it helps control the signs and symptoms of lipoma. This is due to its Kapha balancing and Deepan (appetizer), Pachan (digestive) properties.
