Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) is a deciduous shrub that is found in many parts of India. In Ayurveda, which is the oldest form of medicine, Giloy is used as a treatment for a wide range of health conditions. Giloy is also called giloe, Guduchi, and amrita, among other names. In Sanskrit, “Guduchi” means something that protects the whole body, and “amrita” means immortality. In fact, Giloy is known as ‘Rasayana’ in Ayurveda which means improving the overall functioning of the body. It has been used in Ayurvedic treatment in Asia for thousands of years.
