Guduchi also called Giloy or Amrutha (Scientific: Tinospora Cordifolia) is the best immunity booster and acts as a tonic for the entire body. Guduchi is a popular shrub found throughout India. The plant has heart-shaped leaves, yellow flowers and a pea-sized fruit which becomes red in color when ripe. All parts of the plants have various medicinal properties and are rich in nutrients.
AS AN IMMUNITY BOOSTER
Guduchi is recommended as a total body tonic in ayurvedic texts thousands of years ago. For centuries, if not millenniums Indians have traditionally used extracts from Guduchi to boost their immunity.
A research paper titled “THERAPEUTIC VISTAS OF GUDUCHI (Tinospora cordifolia): A MEDICO-HISTORICAL MEMOIR” by scientists from the All India Institute of Ayurveda, New Delhi and Banaras Hindu University in “The Journal for Research and Education in Indian Medicine” has identified vital nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, iron, copper, zinc, and manganese in appreciable quantities apart from anti-oxidants, vitamins, polysaccharides, and essential acids.
This high life-enhancing quality makes Guduchi the best rejenuvator for the body. The recent researches only reaffirm the validity of the practice of the ancients.

RESEARCH RESULTS ON GUDUCHI
A 2012 research titled “Tinospora cordifolia: One plant, many toles” by doctors, Dr.Soham Saha and Dr Shyamashree Ghosh from National Institute of Science Education and Research, Odisha identified many properties of Giloy in animals and in human beings. In Human Beings, Giloy exhibited potential anti-cancer, anti-viral, immune-modulatory, anti-diabetic and pro-neurological enhancement properties.
Another researcher from Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Dr.Nagaraja Puranik has noted anti-diabetic effect and enhanced heart function in rats feeding on Giloy in his research titled “Efficacy of Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) extract on blood lipid profile in streptozotocin diabetic rats. Is it beneficial to the heart?”
Researchers from The Centre for advance studies, Pune published a paper titled “Immunomodulatory effects of Tinospora cordifolia (Guduchi) on macrophage activation.” This research proves that Guduchi can sharpen and hasten ones immunity response to invading bacteria and viruses and help combat such threats from pathogens faster and better.
The results from the above researches have confirmed all the benefits of Guduchi listed earlier in the article. If you still ask it that all, well there is more…..
Phytoconstituents in Giloy are supposed to potentially aid in the prevention of Covid-19. A paper by Cornell University submitted on May 29, 2020, titled “In Silico Investigation of Phytoconstituents from Indian Medicinal Herb ‘Tinospora Cordifolia (Giloy)’ as Potential Inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)” tries to throw light on this. Anything conclusive on Covid-19 can only be confirmed after a major study with all the recommended protocols but for now, there is promise in Guduchi.
SIDE EFFECTS
Not even a single research identifies any side effects for long term consumption of Giloy. However diabetic people who are on drugs to control sugar levels should be careful because Guduchi can further reduce their blood sugar levels. Similarly, people who are preparing for surgery are advised to not consume Giloy at least a fortnight in advance to not tamper with the ‘ideal blood sugar level’ for surgeries. Pregnant women shall avoid regular intake of Giloy.
AYUSH MINISTRY RECOMMENDATION
