Giloy: Uses, benefits and side effects.
What is Giloy?
The botanical name for giloy is Tinospora cordifolia, or Guduchi and Amrita in Hindi. Because of its high nutritional value and alkaloids, the stem of the Giloy is thought to be particularly effective, though the root and leaves can also be used.
A Charak Samhita shloka describes giloy as one of the primary bitter-tasting herbs. It helps treat a variety of illnesses as well as the vata and kapha doshas.
Due to its reddish fruit and heart-shaped leaves, giloy is also known as Heart-leaved Moonseed.
