Giloy also called Guduchi in India is an ancient herb that is used extensively in ayurvedic medicine. It is an amazing herb with wonderful medicinal uses and health benefits. The stem of giloy is the most used part but giloy leaves and roots are also used as a medicine. Giloy is an anti aging herb and it improves digestion, treats all types of fever, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, asthma, pcos, skin problems, heals even the worst type of wounds that does not heal for a long time and it improves the general health.
Giloy extract is a good tonic for liver, improves vision, reduces stress, treats cough and cold and heals all the problems of the stomach. It also increases platelet count and is very good for treating dengue. Because of it’s anti pyretic properties, it is also used for preventing all types of fevers like typhoid, dengue, chikungunya and malaria.
Giloy Plant:
Giloy plant belongs to the family Menispermaceae and genus Tinospora. This plant can be found growing wild on trees and shrubs and it can be easily identified with the heart shaped leaves. The leaves have a perfect heart shape and giloy can be easily grown in pots at home. When trying to identify this plant make sure to look at the plant closely as many creepers are also heart shaped.
Look keenly at the color of the stem, the fruits and the size of the leaf etc. Guduchi bears fruits that are the size of a pea and it turns beautiful red on maturity. The stem is green and in our village there is an other creeper that has heart shaped leaves too but the stem is red, so make sure to look at the plant closely while identifying it.
Everyday evening, our dog Bruno and I go in search of herbs in our farm. It is a time that I look forward to everyday, as I feel really calm and serene when I am looking at plants and herbs. I haven’t noticed giloy lately in our farm, but ever since the water started flowing in the stream, it has started growing in abundance. Nowadays nothing makes me more happy than finding a herb that I am searching for and I was so very happy when I saw giloy.
What Is Neem Giloy?
Since giloy is a creeper it creeps all over the trees and it is very commonly found growing over neem tree. Giloy growing over neem tree is considered the best and is believed to have more medicinal properties. Though I couldn’t find any research supporting this claim, it is an ancient belief. In our farm, giloy can be found commonly growing over neem tree and even I reach out only for it for making giloy tea :).

5 Top Health Benefits, Medicinal Uses & Side Effects of Guduchi | Giloy | Gulvel | Amruthaballi | Gulancha| Seenthil Kodi :
1. Giloy | Guduchi For Skin: Wounds, Gout, Psoriasis
Giloy | Guduchi is wonderful for treating skin related problems. Both external application and internal consumption is done for treating skin related diseases. For wounds, take guduchi and pound in a mortar and pestle. Fry it in a little bit of neem oil and apply it as a poultice over wounds.
Take a large betel leaf and place it over the guduchi paste and secure the mixture with a bandage. This remedy heals wounds very fast. Guduchi leaves also can be fried in little castor oil and can be applied as a warm compress for treating arthritis and gout.
You can also make a tincture of guduchi using high proof alcohol and use it for treating all types of inflammation like turmeric tincture. But remember to use high proof alcohol else the tincture will surely spoil as we are using a fresh herb. Internal consumption of guduchi treats skin diseases like psoriasis too.
2. Giloy | Guduchi for Allergies:
Guduchi gives amazing relief from allergies. A relative of ours had nasal allergies and she was taking medications for it for a long time. She used to sneeze continuously and her eyes will tear and she will have itchy eyes and ears.
Especially during the parthenium flowering season her allergies used to get worse. After years of suffering and being on and off on medications, she started taking guduchi pills that are sold in the markets.
Now after a long time of suffering, she doesn’t get her allergic attacks anymore. She has completely stopped taking the medicines and uses only guduchi pills. Even I was spell bound and I can only say that if you want to experience real miracles, get to know and use these kind of wonderful herbs!
3. Giloy | Guduchi Satva | Seenthil Sakkarai: Best Liver Tonic
Yesterday I was talking to my grandma about guduchi satva | guduchi sugar, the powder made from the stem that I mentioned before. I was surprised when my grandma said that she used to make it at home. Before I was born there was a long time helper who was an amazing herbalist and he had helped my grandma make it.
My grandma said eating a pinch of seenthil sakkarai or guduchi satva will keep the body from falling ill, is an immunity booster, treats respiratory problems and is used to keep the blood sugar level stable. It balances the doshas and it is a medicine that can be taken for a long time without any side effects. She said she used to take a pinch of it weekly twice or thrice.
It is also very good for liver and is the best liver tonic. It is best to buy guduchi satva from the shops, as it is difficult to make it at home correctly. You can also boil the guduchi satva along with little water and take it as a decoction, if you don’t want to take it as such.
4. Giloy | Guduchi For Diabetics:
Giloy has been proven in the laboratory to reduce blood glucose levels and that too in a significant way. You can read the research that proves this claim here. If you are a diabetic patient, you can use guduchi to lower the blood sugar levels.
But since diabetic patients will be on medications already, consuming guduchi might lower their blood sugar levels even more. Therefore it is very important that it is done under the supervision of a medical professional.
Long time sufferers of diabetic mellitus develop severe complications and one such complication is peripheral neuropathy i.e loss of sensation in the legs and hands. For this condition massaging the hands and legs daily both morning and evening with guduchi oil gives good relief. You can get guduchi oil easily online…
5. Giloy | Guduchi Tea: An Effective remedy For Fever, Cancer & For Improving Memory!
Guduchi tea is very easy to make and does not have any bitterness at all, in fact it is quite soothing to drink this tea. To make the tea, take a fresh stem of guduchi and remove the leaves. For a cup of tea around 5 to 6 slightly bruised guduchi stem around 1.5 inches in length will be enough.
Take around 5 pepper corns, 2 tsp of palm candy and 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds and crush coarsely in a mortar and pestle. Now add the cut cut guduchui stem and pound it till slightly mashes. Boil a cup of water in a pan and add the crushed pepper corns, guduchi, cumin seeds and palm candy mixture and let it boil.
Once it reduces to half a cup, strain and drink it. This tea treats all the stomach disorders, reduces stress in the body, improves memory, is a good home remedy for fever ( you can read the study that proves this claim here) and it is said to be an effective anticancer medicine.

Hi Heart felt appreciation to your blog. Its amazing….just amazing. Added to your wonderful suggestion, could you think of the leaves of Custard Apple. Dried ones. I am a II diabetic and though, I must be living with it for a year or so with more than 400 mg/dl, I was diagnosed in July 2015. I took the regular medicines for a month or so, but after this, on recommendation by a friend of mine who is a RMP, I switched over to drinking the decoction made of the dried leaves of Custard Apple. Since, August, I am only on this decoction….still I am testing myself on how best the decoction works; but it certainly works. Within a week time, my blood sugar has come down to 154mg/dl. Since I am a new 'diabetic', and the use of the decoction is still under study on my body, I may not be able to give you at this point of time, how much, you should take and when to take..because I am using it at different times of a day and in different quantities; just to check how best it works. I also use this decoction with a few other herbal leaves….But at the bottom line, you can surely tell your readers that this decoction does brings down the blood sugar level, if one takes it morning and evening at tea time; the quantity could be 150ml-200ml. Please, check your sugar level for at least on a regular basis. I don't recommend anyone to go just only on this decoction leaving your medications. NO. Along with your medication, if you think, your blood sugar level is a bit high, you can think of taking this decoction either morning or evening or both. But, you decide.
Thanks a lot for sharing this information….

The fresh giloy stem decoction or the stem powder can be taken for improving immunity and the general suggested dosage of the powder is around 1/2 to 1 tsp a day and can be taken before or after food. Vitamin C and giloy can be taken together but I would kindly suggest consulting an ayurvedic physician for the correct dosage depending on your body type especially if planning to take giloy for longer duration…
Dear Ramya, I am suffering from Allergic rhinitis and due to that devloped cough and breathing problem, what would you say on using giloy capsules from baidyanath.will it work for me ?
Giloy can be taken for treating it, it is very good in treating all kinds of allergies….
is it ok if we eat the leaf as such or should we consume its extract only.how many leaves can we have daily and for how long.
Guduchi stem is the most used part and I would suggest consuming that. Around 2 tbsp of stem decoction made by boiling the pounded stem in water can be taken. You can also consume guduchi satva which is available in the markets…
Hi, I am 20 weeks pregnant. I have low immunity because of which I catch cold very fast. Want to increase immunity of my baby so that baby is not prone to catching cold very fast, can I take 1 patanjali giloy tablet every morning for next 2-3 months? Your quick response would really be helpful. Thanks
Hi Hinduja, sorry for the late reply and congrats on your pregnancy. Guduchi should strictly be taken only under medical supervision if you are pregnant. Instead of guduchi why not consider taking amla in honey to improve immunity?
Hello Ramya. I am 70 yrs indian male. I have been having fever since past 12 months. Mostly afternoons to evenings. Small breaks of 1 or 2 days there. Lost 12 kgs wt. Have undergone all allopathic investigations but nothing clear cut diagnosis. Got prostate surgry done. Then 3 months of Anti TB treatment which pulled me down completely. Energy levels are v low. Cannot go out anywhere. Last two months an MD has stopped all medicines and put me on immunity building medicines. Was given 2 bottles of blood as Hb had gone down to 7.5.A friend suggested Giloy. Started Amla and Giloy juice of Divya Pharmacy three times a day past 4 days. I have got their 500 mg tablets but not started. Pl advise. Any combination with Giloy? e mail – mgr1806@gmail.com. Thank you so much. looking forward to your valuable advise. I cannot go out to meet an ayur doctor here.
Hello Sir, I am so very sorry for the late reply, due to personal reasons I couldn't answer the queries immediately for the past few months. Guduchi and ashwagandha are both very very useful for improving immunity and they can be taken together. Daily dosage of guduchi and ashwagandha is around 5 gm per day (I would suggest slowly increasing the dosage). If you experience any gastric irritation while taking ashwagandha decrease the dosage even further. Also if you are diabetic guduchi might lower blood sugar levels further so please keep a close watch…
Hi, just want to know if dried powdererd GILOY-TINOSPORA capsulated, can also work well for Diabetes type 2 patient. Is it the stem or the leaves are to be used or the stem alone.
Giloy stem is the most used part and most of the formulations are made with it. Giloy will work well for type 2 diabetes…
what are the side effects of guduchi powder?
Guduchi has low toxicity but it's usage in pregnant women should be monitored. It reduce blood sugar levels so diabetic patients should monitor their blood sugar levels closely while taking guduchi.
Hi Ramya,We're growing Seenthil Kodi at our home and it has grown a long vine at our terrace. We recommend it to everybody in our area and we give them to people who needs them. My mom and dad consume 4-5 levees every morning in an effort stomach for more than 3 months. Does it do any harm if it's taken for a longer period of time, as you've mentioned in the above comments to consume it for 4-5 weeks? And I also wanted to know what's the best time to consume these leaves. Please advise.Regards, Derrick
Long term usage of any herb is best taken under medical supervision. Though guduchi | seenthil kodi is a very safe herb I would suggest the same for it too as the doctor will give the correct dosage depending the body type. Guduchi reduces blood sugar levels so if your parents are diabetic please monitor their blood sugar levels closely…
Hello Ma'am! I have molluscum contagiosum. It's a virus that affects people who have weak immune system. It causes lesions. I had these lesions on my face and neck. I visited skin specialist and she treated those lesions by curettage. But now after 2 months I got those lesions again on my face. It seems that these lesions will not stop as long as I get rid of this virus from my body. My family Dr prescribed me Guduchi Himalaya Capsules. Will these be useful for molluscum contagiosum? please reply
Giloy greatly improves immunity and it is also a very safe herb to consume. Taking giloy will improve immunity which in turn will prevent the disease…

Hello mam nice information.i am diabetic for the past 2 year how can I take guduchi.tablet form or root or stem.if tablet how many per day .please inform me mam it would be of great use.i too have wheezing problem and I am obese too.i am unmarried 35Female.i am scared of marriage due to diabetes
You can take guduchi in tablet form if you can't get fresh plant stem extract daily. The daily suggested dosage is around 500 mg in divided dose. But guduchi will lower blood sugar levels and will help improve immunity. Since you are diabetic please take guduchi only under medical advice to determine the correct dosage…
HI MADAMI AM HAVING LOW PLATELET COUNT FROM 8 YEARSGUDUCHI WILL HELP ME IN INCREASING PLATELE5 FOUNTTHANKS WITH REGARDS
Hello, guduchi will help increase platelet count but I would suggest you try papaya leaf juice first as it increases the platelet count very very fast…
Hi madam, I am suffering with ITP low platelets and it was diagnosed 4 years back.. but i dont know when it was started.. Can i use giloy to increse the platelet count. Even i tried papaya leaf extract caripill micro labs medicine for 1 month but no use… can u suggest how and when it will be taken orally. and please suggest best giloy ayurvedic extract medicine…thanks madam…
Giloy will definitely help for increasing platelet count and I would suggest taking it. Usually the suggested general dosage is 2.5 grams of the powder boiled in a cup of water taken twice a day after food (But I would kindly suggest consulting an ayurvedic practitioner for the precise dosage for increasing platelet count). I have used only fresh guduchi extract so I am not sure which brand of guduchi powder is good. Also if you are diabetic please remember guduchi will lower blood sugar levels…
Hai ram ya mam my husband s having diabetes. V don't wish to go for medicine and v still didn't consult doctor.actually he wants to reduce through food and food remedies.can u suggest me when should he have daily and shall v can get patanjali giloy juice.
Hello,I was told that Guduchi is good for type 1 diabetics to lower their insulin intake and control their blood sugars, Do you know what form of guduchi is best? I was told a tincture is best but I cannot find it anywhere. I am only finding powder form.
Guduchi is good for diabetes as it lowers blood sugar levels. You can take the guduchi stem decoction for best results or you can use guduchi satva sold in the markets but please take guduchi for treating diabetes only under medical supervision…
My mom is an astama patient. But she consumes steam of guduchi since last two years. And she didn't get any attack of astama in these two years. I'm 3 months married, before marriage, my wife if washed a pair of clothes or few utensils,her platlate count used to decrease and she used suffer from cold and fever. After my marriage, my mom started giving her steam of giloy every morning. We've observed that now she is working in water, coming all drenched in rain from her school (she is a teacher), but still she is not suffering from cold or fever and her platlate count is under control. We believe that it is just because of giloy as she is not on any other medication. I want to know more if the giloy helps in increasing platlate count for women. If yes, then what should be the remedy.
I was very happy to read that your wife is better after taking giloy. Giloy does increase platelet count, the other herb that increases platelet count is papaya leaf juice…
for diabetics when how much it should be taken….whether stem boiled in water should be taken on empty stomach for diabetis
The fresh giloy stem decoction or the stem powder can be taken for treating diabetes and the general suggested dosage of the powder is around 1/2 to 1 tsp a day and can be taken before or after food. But I would kindly suggest consulting an ayurvedic physician for the correct dosage as taking both diabetic medication and giloy will lower the blood sugar levels too much…
in what proportion and when should giloy powder be taken for general immunity booster
For improving immunity, 1/2 to 1 tsp of giloy powder can be taken after food…

Hi Ramya mam… I'm having wounds on my back neck. I've consulted skin specialists many time. Not even the single wound is healed.. I searched in google for the cause of these wounds, there I found a photograph with the wounds like mine.. Then only I recognised that it is folliculitis …. May I use seenthil kodi for that problem.. ? If not Please do prescribe me any other medicine!! Note: I'm 24 years old and I'm having this problem for 3 years… Tried lots of medicine… But not cured!!
For folliculitis, I would suggest taking turmeric tea which has wonderful anti inflammatory properties daily twice, here is recipe for it: recipe. Also I would suggest grinding fresh neem leaves and turmeric and applying all over the affected area. Continue this treatment daily for a few days regularly to see results…

Guduchi will be good for you as it helps improve immunity and it is also a great anti allergen. Try taking it in the proper dosage daily for a few weeks to see good results. Also drinking nilavembu kudineer (you can read about it in the blog) is also a very very good way to increase immunity and fight off allergies (you can read about it in the blog). Try either one of these treatments…
Hello againThank you for your swift reply what would be a proper dosage and in what form capsules or powder would suit my conditionMany thanks
Also I live in Spain how would I get these?Please advise
The general suggested dosage for guduchi powder is 250 mg twice a day. It will be best if you can start taking it after consulting an ayurvedic physician as they will determine the dosage accurately for a person depending on one's body. If you can't then I would suggest starting with 1/4 tsp twice day. But regular intake will reduce blood sugar levels so if you are diabetic I would suggest to be very cautious as it can lower the blood sugar levels way too low. Here is an online source for buying it: amazon
Hello mam, I searched for this plant everywhere is chennai. Didn't find it. Can u please help
Usually you will find giloy plant growing wild all over waste lands in Tamil Nadu. If you visit any nearby village you can collect giloy easily and can start growing it at home. I am not very familiar with Chennai but I would suggest trying in nurseries in Chennai, in my experience most of the nurseries for a small sum of money procure any plant that we ask for…
hello mam,i have guduchi plant at home. it is growing in abundance. can i cut few stems and let them dry. then later when it is required can i use the dry power?
Yes, you can dry the guduchi stems and use it later as a dry powder or decoction when needed…
giloy juice should be taken raw or boiled and how many days
You can take the stem decoction daily by boiling 5 grams of the dried stem powder in 1 cup of water till it reduces well. Usually 15 to 20 ml tbsp of the water decoction is the general suggested dosage, it can be had daily for a period of about 4 to 6 weeks…

Giloy juice will not cause headaches but giloy in any form including giloy juice might cause mild constipation in some people…

I would suggest starting with natural whole fruits for treating constipation. Usually a small cup of ripe papaya or a ripe banana before bed works well for treating mild forms of constipation…..

His sir, I am so sorry for the late reply. I am not a doctor just a person who is immensely interested in herbs :). Consume the giloy stem decoction, by boiling a small part of the stem in water. You can also consume giloy satva which is available in the markets. Giloy is usually a very safe herb and can be consumed for long duration's of time without any side effects. It will also improve your immunity and overall health…
Giloy is best immunomodulatory herbs and it is usually highly beneficial in low grade fever or chronic fevers.
How to consume giloy satva, pls can you guide
one should use gulvel which grows on neem tree.It is more powerful on any old fever
Thank You Ramyaji,it was such a informative article,hope You continue writing such valuable articles. All the Best.
