Guggul (Commiphora wightii) originates from Nepal and is considered one of the most vital incense ingredients for purification and spiritual rituals. The name stems from the Sanskrit "Guggulu," symbolizing protection against disease, while the resin’s earthy power simultaneously calms and strengthens the nervous system. As a close relative of myrrh, it brings an energy of liberation into the space, purifying the air and body while creating an ideal atmosphere for evening relaxation.
