Product at a Glance

What Is Giloy?

Giloy is the Hindi/trade name for Tinospora cordifolia, known in Ayurveda as Guduchi. Kew accepts Tinospora cordifolia as a valid species, and the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India records the dried stem as Guḍūcī Kāṇḍa.

Which Plant Part Is Sold?

This listing is specifically for Giloy stem. NMPB and Ministry of AYUSH trade references also identify the stem as the principal medicinal raw material. The Natural variant contains dried stem pieces, while the Powder variant is ground stem material.

Important Species-Identity Warning

Not every plant sold as “Giloy” is automatically the correct species. Ministry of AYUSH specifically distinguishes Tinospora cordifolia from lookalike species such as Tinospora crispa, which may be harmful. NMPB also notes substitution/adulteration risk from related Tinospora species. For this reason, botanical identity is an important part of this PDP.
