Benefits in Evil Effects or Black Magic:
Significant benefit of guggul is that it eradicates negativity and brings in prosperity. It is considered as a remedy for vastu defects and also helps to cleanse the aura.
Upon burning, guggul gives dense and aromatic smoke, which is then taken around in the house and held in all the rooms for a couple of minutes. While burning guggul, ensure that it is first rotated anticlockwise and then clockwise. This is done to first remove the negativities (anticlockwise) and then to bring in fresh energy (clockwise). This process drives away evil spirit, evil eye, black magic or any other type of negative forces from the home and keeps the members peaceful, safe and healthy.
The best time to burn guggul is during sunset as that is the time when negative energies enter your house. Burn guggul continuously for a minimum of eight days to see its positive results.
