Many formulations in Ayurveda have been described, ranging from basic churna of herbal medications to complicated medicine like , pottalli rasayan, kupipakwa rasayan, Sindoor and Bhasma etc. Aushadhi Kalpana is the name given to all of them. In Rasshastra and Bhaishajyakalpana, a very important component known as "Guggul" is used in a variety of formulations. Guggulu has been a well-known medication of the Indigenous System of Medicine since the Vedic period. It is the main ingredient among most of Ayurvedic formulations.
