Kaishore Guggulu is traditionally used in pitta-type arthritis, characterized by redness, heat, inflammation and persistent pain in the joints. It is particularly helpful for the accumulation of pitta (uric acid) in the joints and muscles, which may be indicated by pain and inflammation. Chronic accumulation can lead to such serious conditions as bursitis, tendonitis and arthritis. Kaishore Guggulu also works to prevent further accumulation of pitta by regulating metabolism and assisting in the proper elimination of toxins.
