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.

BENEFITS OF GUDUCHI

1)      Skin & Tissues: The oil processed from Guduchi plant is helpful in treating swellings in the joints, gout and skin diseases.

Almost every part and every natural function of the body can be improved by the regular consumption of Guduchi extracts. This is why we again repeat that Guduchi is the best total body rejuvenator. 

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

The advisory from the Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy(AYUSH), Government of India to the people of India for the prevention of Co-vid 19, recommends consumption of 500-1000 mg of aqueous extract of Guduchi every day.

Have you been struggling to sleep at night? Are you sleeping at wee hours of the night? Then you may be an insomniac. Among many reasons, stress and anxiety are most common reasons that lead to insomnia. This sleep disorder may have major impact on your productivity and quality of life.

Ayurvedic perspective on insomnia and its causes

In Ayurveda, insomnia is described as a condition that is caused by degradation of the Vata dosha. According to Ayurveda, when we have excess Vata and our minds are full of too many thoughts, it is impossible to relax. When Kapha functions normally it gives us healthy sleep. Ayurveda describes three qualities of mind as Satva, Raja and Tama. While Raja gives us interrupted sleep, Tama is essential for healthy sleep. Problems like anxiety, rage, envy, stress, etc increase the Raja property of our psyche, which in turn, lead to insomnia.

Disorders like hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland), rheumatoid arthritis, restless legs, menopause, etc are caused due to increased Vata. These disorders also lead to insomnia. Reduced Kapha due to improper diet and malnutrition, weakness, chronic exhaustion and degenerative diseases also cause insomnia. Indigestion, heartburn, frequent urination, etc. may also lead to disturbed sleep. Unhygienic place to sleep, loud noises, bright light, etc. also cause insomnia. All these cause, directly or indirectly increase Vata, Kapha and Raja and lead to insomnia.

Ayurveda suggests calming Vata dosha and Raja and restoring the normal balance of Kapha and Tama properties. The ancient method of medicine suggests addressing the root cause of the problem, which will eventually help in relaxing our minds and giving us sleep. It recommends some changes in lifestyle and some herbs that can cure this sleep disorder.

Ayurvedic remedies

Good diet: A good diet is the first step towards healthy sleep. A deficit in Tama and Kapha due to increase in Vata and Raja is found in people who suffer from insomnia. So it is important to eat foods that promote Tama and Kapha, especially at night. Foods like buffalo milk increases Kapha and Tama naturally. Foods like raw onions increase Raja. Coffee, tobacco, nicotine increase Vata and Raja, while sesame oil reduces Vata dosha and calms the mind.

Therapies: There are a number of specific Ayurvedic therapies and treatments that are effective for insomnia. These therapies restore the imbalance of doshas. Treatments like Shirodhara helps treat insomnia. It is a treatment when medicinal oil, milk, buttermilk, Kanji, etc. are poured on the forehead.

Shirobhyanga is a therapeutic head massage to treat psychological or mental problems. The therapy uses medicinal oils for the massage of scalp and hair.

Netra tarpan is another therapy involving the eyes. It relieves stress symptoms.

Anjana also treats the eyes with medicinal kajal that helps to induce sleep. Abhyanga is a massage of the whole body with medicated oil that helps to remove toxins and soothes the body and mind.

Sleep inducing herbs

Brahmi or Bacopa calms emotional turbulence, helps improve concentration and alertness, and induces sleep. Known as brain tonic in Ayurveda, it cures digestion problems as well. It also improves blood circulation, and heals the body’s natural healing process.

Shankhpushpi: This herb contains flavonoids, glycosides and alkaloids that soothe the nervous system and relieve mental fatigue. A natural tranquilliser for anxiety neurosis, the herb helps in sleeping better.

Vacha’s calming properties help the brain, cure tension and treat insomnia. This herb works as a coolant and relaxes the nerves, thereby inducing sleep. Known as a nervous system tonic, it wards off stress and other issues.

Sarpgandha or Indian Snakeroot contains more than 50 alkaloids that help in reducing high blood pressure or hypertension. This, in turn, induces sleep.

Ashwagandha promotes sound sleep. Studies have found an active compound known as triethylene glycol is present in this herb, which works wonders to induce sleep. Ashwagandha also treats anxiety, stress and exhaustion.

Besides, lifestyle changes, herbs, Pranayama and specific yoga postures, Ayurveda also suggests effective herbal medicines like Nidramitra for treating insomnia.

Psoriasis is a skin disease that shows up as red, itchy scaly patches, mostly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp. It is a chronic disease and takes time to get rid of. While it subsides for a while, it flares up again.

Psoriasis symptoms vary from person to person. Commonly it manifests as red patches of skin covered with thick scales, small scaling spots usually seen in children. It also shows up as dry, cracked skin that may bleed or itch. Itching leading to burning or soreness leading to swollen and even stiff joints can happen.

Ayurvedic perspective of psoriasis

Ayurveda classifies psoriasis as ‘kushtha’, which means a chronic condition that is intractable and incurable. According to Ayurvedic texts, psoriasis occurs due to imbalance in Vata and Kapha doshas. Vata, which controls bodily functions, may contribute to the dryness and skin scaling of psoriasis. Kapha, on the other hand, is responsible for growth. Hence, it may lead to itching due to skin cell turnover.

When there is an imbalance between Vata and Kapha, these two energies lead to a build-up of toxins in a person’s system, leading to inflammation. As a result, Ayurvedic treatments for psoriasis not only suggest herbal applications but also diet and lifestyle changes. Several studies suggest that Ayurvedic treatment is successful in reducing psoriasis.

Ayurvedic treatment for psoriasis begins with detoxification and cleaning blood impurities. Once the involved doshas are balanced, the next step is to strengthen immunity. In addition to medicines, Panchakarma may also be recommended to detoxify the tissues and balance Vata and Kapha doshas.

Panchakarma therapy

Panchakarma therapy is the main Ayurvedic treatment used to treat psoriasis. Panchakarma therapy involves plant-based remedies and dietary changes. The therapy detox and purify the body. A vegetarian diet is also recommended, especially during the duration of the treatment for better results. Panchakarma treatment includes consuming medicated ghee, which will lead to purging and vomiting. During the therapy, medicated oil and buttermilk are dripped on the patient’s head. His/her body in also covered with medicinal pastes and mud. However, the success of the treatment depends on the severity of the psoriasis and the patient’s faith in the treatment.

Ayurveda advices to:

Avoid spicy and oily foods

Avoid tea, coffee, hot spices, canned and preserved foods

Wear loose, cotton clothes

Use mild herbal soap for bathing

Use soft, smooth towel and avoid rubbing the skin

Practice yoga and exercise to enhance immunity

Ayurveda also suggests the following natural remedies to soothe the pain and itching:

Aloe vera gel: Aloe vera gel has antibacterial, antimicrobial, immune system-boosting and wound-healing properties. It relieves skin irritation and promotes healing.

Dr. Dhananjay Khelkar, another doctor from the same Pune based hospital claimed that of the 4500 staff from the hospital 600 had practiced “Jalaneti” and only 22 were affected by the virus and all of those 22 were people who did not practice the technique at all or did not follow it up regularly.

The stress levels due to our present lifestyle are the the reason why Men tend to face hair fall, loss of muscle mass and sexual drive relatively early these days. All of this comes down to the millions of cells and their functioning in our body

The cells in our body continuously withers and are regenerated. As a result of our unhealthy lifestyle and stress our body’s natural ability to regenerate the lost cells goes down, this results in hastening the ageing process and as a result, the loss of sexual drive and capacity. This can be very damaging to one’s sex life. 

According to a research paper titled “Withania somnifera improves semen quality by combating oxidative stress and cell death and improving essential metal concentrations” by Lucknow based researchers from Indian Institute of Toxicology, C.S.M Medical University and Central Drug Research Institute “Ashwagandha improves sexual health and increases semen quality in men by halting the ageing process by reducing the pace of cell deaths and improving the overall mental condition of the person.”

The Cells die quicker and the body fails to reproduce them at the rate at which it is lost due to our bad lifestyles. Ashwagandha prevents the cells from running out and increases their life spans giving more time for the body to replace the lost cells and this help men retain their youth and vigour for a longer time.

ENHANCING SEXUAL HEALTH IN WOMEN

Winter cherry is normally presented as a herb which helps improve the sexual health of men.

How about women?

Ashwagandha helps women improve their libido while also helping one stay without exhaustion for a relatively long time. As a result, it enhances possibilities to achieve orgasm.

“Efficacy and Safety of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Root Extract in Improving Sexual Function in Women: A Pilot Study” a research conducted by Swathi dongre, Deepak Langde and Shauvik Bhattacharya administered 300 mg of Ashwagandha root extracts for 8 weeks to 50 women subjects and observed positive improvement in their sexual health.

AS A TOTAL REJUVENATOR

Ashwangandha is an aphrodisiac and is supposed to enhance the Shukra dhatu, the reproductive tissues and cells associated with it.

Ayurveda enlists the seven fundamental tissues or Saptadhatus which the food nourishes starting from the Rasa dhatu or plasma to the Shukra dhatu or Reproductive tissues. Every food we consume starts by nourishing the Rasa dhatu and then move to the Rakta dhatu and so on. Only the most effective foods will reach Shukra dhatu. It is generally agreed that foods that nourish the Shukra dhatu or reproductive tissues will nourish all the other tissues on its way and hence is the most nutritious food we can consume.  So Ashwagandha which nourishes the Shukra dhatu can act as a total rejuvenator for the body.

Neem oil is very beneficial for our hair and skin. It is extracted from the fruits and seeds of the neem tree. When used regularly, neem oil gives us healthier scalp and hair. It conditions the scalp, and promotes healthy hair growth. On the other hand, neem oil contains fatty acids, limonoids, vitamin E, triglycerides, antioxidants, and calcium, which are all good for our skin.

Neem oil for hair

Neem oil not only conditions the scalp and promotes healthy hair growth, it also seals hair follicles and delays graying of hair. Neem oil is also known to reduce dandruff and get rid of head lice.

Since the oil is rich in fatty acids, limonoids, vitamin E, triglycerides, antioxidants, and calcium, all these are good for our hair as well. Applying neem oil on our scalp delivers all these nutrients directly into our hair, leading to healthy and thick hair.

Promotes hair growth: Neem oil supports healthy cell division and makes the hair follicle strong, thereby helping the hair to grow. It also prevents hair loss and protects the hair from damages by pollution, stress or medication.

Prevents baldness: Neem oil’s anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, and antioxidant properties prevent baldness. It also treats scalp problems like scalp psoriasis, which leads to permanent hair loss.

Gets rid of dandruff: The presence of an important ingredient—nimbidin—in the oil, helps to suppress inflammation. This in turn treats dermatitis, psoriasis, or other scalp irritation. Neem is also antifungal, so it treats dandruff and irritation because these sometimes result from yeast that builds up on the scalp.

Removes lice: A study has shown that neem oil kills head lice larvae after 5 minutes of treatment. It also kills adult head lice after 10 minutes of applying the oil on our hair. This is due to azadirachtin present in the oil. Azadirachtin affects the hormones, and makes it difficult for the insects to grow and lay eggs.

Prevents premature graying: Neem oil can combat hormonal imbalances, and can, therefore, help in delaying premature graying of your hair.

Conditions dry hair: The fatty acids like linoleic, oleic, and stearic acids present in neem oil nourish the scalp and hair. These fatty acids also revitalize and condition dry and rough hair.

Treats scalp infections: Neem oil’s properties like anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral, treats scalp infections. It also has a cooling effect which gives relaxation.

Neem oil for the skin

Neem oil has immense benefits on the skin. It not only cures acne but is also an effective spot treatment and handles hyperpigmentation skin issues as well. Due to its anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial properties, it is used as a treatment for skin diseases and infections.

Moisturises the skin: Vitamin E and essential fatty acids present in neem oil heal dryness of the skin. It also restores the protective layer of the skin and reduces moisture loss.

Soothes inflamed and itchy skin: Neem oil soothes red, itchy, inflamed skin that are caused due to acne, burns, eczema, psoriasis, and rashes. Regular use of neem oil stops production of histamine and other irritants which soothes the skin. The ingredient nimbidin help in treating eczema and dermatitis. The oil’s antiseptic and antibacterial properties fight skin infections as well.

Heals wounds: Neem oil is also used for healing minor wounds. Its antiseptic properties work on minor cuts and abrasions. When neem oil is applied onto the wounds or to injured skin, it enhances the immunity and speeds up the healing process. An Ayurvedic study has shown that neem oil becomes even more effective in healing wounds when used with turmeric.

Saves the skin from insects: Neem oil works as insects repellent and saves the skin from insect bites. It is an effective mosquito repellent, and especially effective against anopheles, the mosquitoes that spread malaria. You can apply neem oil directly on the skin but after diluting with sesame oil or almond oil. Alternatively, you can burn it in diffuser lamps.

How to use neem oil on the skin

Ensure that you have organic, 100 percent pure, cold-pressed neem oil. It should be stored in a cool, dark place. Before putting neem oil on your face, do a patch test on your hand. Lightly dab the neem oil onto an affected area using a cotton swab or cotton ball. Leave it on the skin for about 20 minutes so that it soaks in well. Then wash the oil off with warm water
