When there is viral fever, to bring down the temperature, to improve immunity and also to fight the virus, Giloy is a good option, in the order mentioned.
Neem helps to fight virus, and to bring down the temperature.
For a better effect, using a teaspoon of each of neem and Guduchi together, to prepare Kashayam is a very good option.
Q: Guduchi is hot, but still it balances all the three doshas. How it is justified As per its hot quality, it should have increased Pitta Dosha.

Dr Hebbar
There are so many herbs that are good for urinary track disorder. How do ayuvedic doctors choose which one to prescribe to a specific patient ??
Is there any interaction between different herbs ?
The choice of herb largely depends on the disease.
If there is infection, anti viral and anti bacterial herbs are selected – like neem, bael, etc.
If there is inflammation, anti inflammatory herbs like Guduchi, Ashwagandha etc are selected.
If there are kidney stones, then herbs that can dissolve them are selected example: Patalagarudi, Ksharas etc.
If there is urine obstruction, then herbs that are diuretic are selected – example- Gokshura, Punarnava etc.
If there is need of rejuvenation (in case of degenerative diseases), herbs like Shilajatu, Guduchi, Ashwagandha, Bala etc are selected.
If there is lowered immunity, then Rasayanas, Shilajatu etc are selected.
Usually herbs that do not interact with each other are selected for treatment.
(Above are just example herbs. I do not recommend using them without consulting your doctors.)
Thank you for sharing this valuable information… Dr. Hebbar, you are truly doing a soulful deed by imparting Ayurveda knowledge… Many Thanks.
I have local Ayurveda doctor and he has given some medicine for kidney problem, I am allergic to some of the composition in it and get pigment problem on my face. Please help.Can u guide me which Ayurvedic formula is giving me this problem.I am 66yrs old female.
Dear Madam, As we all are genetically different with different constitutions and patterns, we respond to treatments in many different ways. Hence Standard Ayurvedic Treatments are always individually formulated. So here we do not know which medicine the Ayurvedic physician has given to you. Please do consult him/her again and let them know the problem so that they can change the medicine for you.

There is no sufficient evidence to say that it helps in Lymphoma.
Hi, Giloy can help you but you need to consult an Ayurveda doctor for the right dose. Because, dose fixing is critical to optimum management of blood sugar levels.
Hi, Giloy does not suit to all the problems described, but for blood sugar, that too, requires to be taken under medical supervision only, or else the sugar levels may vary out of control.
sir if we take giloy and ashwagandha powder in equal proportion for gaining strength and vitality, is it safe? or it has any side effects?
1. Both can lower blood sugar levels. Hence diabetic persons should exercise precaution.
2. In a few patients Ashwagandha can cause excess body heat and constipation.

Can My Cousion Take Giloy for traetment of Skin Iching & Lichaen Planus
Namaste sir, ur articles are always good and nicely presented, may we know how to make powder from fresh stems at home, what is the procedure, thanks
1. Cut the stem into small pieces.
2. Dry them under sunshade till it becomes totally dry.
3. Pound them to prepare coarse powder.
4. If it is very small amount, it can be put to mixer / grinder to make it into fine powder. If large quantities, then it may need pulverizer to make fine powder. Usually, for any herb, making fine powder at home is quite difficult, especially if the herb is fibrous.
Question about Guduchi. My daughter was prescribed by doctor. She cannot swallow pills. She is 26. I break open the caplet and put in glass, mix with applejuice. It takes long for ths powder to disolve in the aj. Is there something better to use? Thanks. Getting tired of this tedious process.
You can simply use Guduchi powder – 2 grams, once or twice a day, along with honey / water.
Thanks but what do I mix the powder with? I need something it can dissolve in. Difficult dissolving in applejuice. Anything else? Guduchi powder and capsule both contain the powder. Thanks again.
The whole of Guduchi powder cannot be dissolved in anything. It can only be made into paste.
So very grateful for your wonderful articles. The question answer format in your mails is a very welcome start.
We have Giloy plant at home. Instead of making a decoction will it be as useful to just chew on the stem. Also, is consuming it daily alright.
Thanks
Thanks!
Well, if you can tolerate its bitter taste while chewing the stem, you can surely consume it that way. Because Guduchi is attributed with Rasayana (anti aging, rejuvenative) qualities, it can be taken for longer times without any hesitation. Herbs with Rasayana qualities, such as Amla and Guduchi can be taken for long.

Dear Dr Hebbar, Which is the best Medicine for Diabetes, if levels are around 350, if Guduchi itself is not sufficient, then which other medicine should be taken, along with this
As per my experience, if the sugar levels are above 350, it is very difficult to bring down the blood sugar levels with Ayurvedic medicines. Very high doses of medicines will be required, for which you need to consult an Ayurveda doctor in person. You will also need to follow a very strict diet and lifestyle habits.

Consider using it in Kashayam form.
Hi, Giloy is also attributed with Rasayana (anti ageing properties). Hence, assuming that you do not have altering blood sugar levels, you can take Giloy juice for about 2 – 3 months of time, along with Amla juice or individually.
It is not really needed during pregnancy. Hence I would advice not to.
Reading questions , answers I fill that we are unknown the plants which are near by us.That is very important for health issue. Please send me the plants name ,photo which are near by us. Like Tulsi.

You can take Giloy for about 2 weeks. But the best thing to do is to consult your doctor directly. It is the matter of 2 lives. Do not self medicate! Go to a doctor.

Hello Dr Hebbar. I have seen a doctor in Ayurveda who advised me to take Guduchi powder every morning. I am pitta dosha and suffer from hepatitis C (my liver is in a good state and I do not have any fibrosis at this state). I have 2 questions:
1. can Guduchi powder eradicate such virus or just help from preventing the liver from getting in a bad state?
2. I have been trying to take the guduchi powder in hot water but I find it very difficult to drink as the taste is not nice. I mix the powder in the water but do I need to filter it before drinking? Thank you for your advice
Hi, Just the guduchi powder might not be sufficient. I believe a combination of guduchi, Neem, Patola (pointed gourd),Vasa etc will be very effective in Hepatiitis C treatment.
Guduchi is also available in capsule form.

is Giloy is useful in ADPKD( polysystic kidney deasease)? please advise.
No. In fact, it is useful to improve sight.
It is dried under sunshade. Pounded to small pieces. – 1 tablespoon of powder of stem is added with 1 cup of water, boiled for 2 minutes, filtered. This filtered liquid is consumed once per day, before or after food, for 2 months time.
According to me Gilloy has nothing to do with Asthma. Instead, Turmeric, Ginger, Garlic, Onion, Black pepper, Long Pepper, Laving, Cinnamon, Vasa, Tulsi etc would help more. Some of them can be taken with warm milk/water & honey.
Cut red onion in the 1 mm slice and put it in the mask, wear it and simply breath deeply . You can also put some garlic paste along with onion in the mask. I had tried it successfully on my mother.
Sir,
Will it helps to increase white blood cells in those persons who are having only one kidney
I uses giloy powder for 2 months, nu after that i got the flu for 2 weeks, how come? Did i Use iT wrong?
Greetings Sam
I have tried Giloy Satva for two for my ITP (chronic low platelets count), but there is no improvement at all. Do you think Giloy herbal powder would help?
Sarva Jwarahar lauh along with Nimbadi kwath and Guduchi churna / kashaya is useful.
Because it is a Rasayana (anti ageing, rejuvenation) herb.
what are the disadvantages if I use Guducci without a medical supervision for a long time?
If it is in small dose of just a capsule a day, then no issues. If bigger dose you need to keep a check on blood sugar levels.
Many many thanks for this exclusive imformation.It helps me a lot to know about giloy and how to use it in so many ways for different kinds of deases.I don’t know how to thank u but thank u.
Sir,

End of the month, my ankles started swelling with lot of pain. somebody suggested to have giloy decoction for 12 days to get rid of this pain. But when i googled, came to know that one of the side effects of giloy is over stimulation of auto immune system which leads to auto immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Is this true? if so, what remedies u suggest for my case?
Sir, can we use guduchi powder for cancer patient with auto immune disorder ?. Please help.
Dear Doctor,
