Yet medical practitioners agree that a majority of people get through the disease asymptomatically. This is largely possible due to their body’s immunity.

GILOY

A research article by Soham Saha and Shyamshree Gosh publish in the ‘United States National Library of Medicine’ titled “Tinospora cordifolia: One plant, many roles” lists the multiple benefits of Giloy. The molecular study claims Giloy to have high anti-microbial and immunomodulatory properties. It is said to have helped activate the anti-oxidant enzymes in the body. The study also says Giloy can lower blood sugars and help in managing diabetes. It can also reduce aflatoxin induced kidney damage. Giloy Ras also has the potential to enhance proteins and ascorbic acid in the body, the study claimed.

Giloy’s anti-HIV activities were demonstrated by a decrease in eosinophil count, activation of B lymphocytes, macrophages, and leucocytes, and hemoglobin percentage, indicating its prospective function in disease management.

Giloy’s anti-cancer benefits have largely been researched in animal models. In a study titled “Radiation-Induced Testicular Injury and Its Amelioration by Tinospora cordifolia (An Indian Medicinal Plant) Extract” published in the magazine “Evidence based Alternative Medicine” in 2011, Giloy has been demonstrated to have a radio-protective role in male Swiss albino mice by considerably increasing body weight, tissue mass, testes-body weight ratio, and tubular diameter, as well as inhibiting the adverse effects of sub-lethal gamma radiation on testes. Giloy had a substantial effect on the radiation-induced elevation in lipid peroxidation in pre-irradiated animals, resulting in a decrease in gulathione concentration in the testes. This makes giloy a possible anti-cancer medication.

The anti-microbial potency of Giloy has been tested in a study titled “Antibacterial activity of selected medicinal plants against multiple antibiotic resistant uropathogens: a study from Kolli Hills, Tamil Nadu, India” published in the ‘National Library of Medicine’. It showed the efficacy of Giloy to help fight many lethal bacterial infections.

NEEM

German Researchers J Beauth et all from University of Koeln in their study titled “Enhancement of immune responses to neem leaf extract (Azadirachta indica) correlates with antineoplastic activity in BALB/c-mice” claimed to have noticed strong immune-modulatory properties in Neem leaf extracts.

Researchers from Mexico in their study titled “An overview of Neem (Azadirachta indica) and its potential impact on health” have shown powerful anti-inflammatory properties in neem which help regulate the cytokines and macrophages. This prevents premature cytokine storms and gives the body a better chance in fighting pathogens like invading viruses and bacteria.

TULSI

Researchers from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia in their study titled “The Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Tulsi in Humans: A Systematic Review of the Literature” have cited multiple clinical studies where tulsi has shown to improve efficacy and functioning of lymphocytes which in turn helps keep disease causing pathogens at bay. Studies on Covid-19 have hinted that lymphocytes play a vital part in recovering from the disease.
