Giloy stems has power to improve your immune system and someone gifted me these precious stems
If you have not heard about Giloy, then a simple google search will get you tons of sites telling the health benefits of it. Unfortunately, its hard to get it because its mostly available in forests. It's very popular in India, and you can get ready made juices as well. Baba Ramdev of Patanjali Ayurveda has made it famous and its a life saver for dengue fever. So just when I was searching to do some natural therapies, a friend called me and asked to collect these precious gifts. He procured it from someone from the forests, and I instantly went and collected them.
To keep it fresh for as many days as we can, we have wrapped it in paper and kept in freezer. And just when I wake up, I cut them and soak in water.
I have started my morning exercise again, and after I come from exercise, we just grind it and filter and consume. The taste is not good, but everything that tastes better is not good for health.
It just takes some time but the price that we have to give being not natural is not cheap as well. I have tried to planted some stems, if it grows, then I will take it and put near a Neem tree, because, Giloy spreading on a Neem tree is the best quality.
And who does not want better immunity ? The way, we are seeing new diseases, these natural remedies can only help us. If you want taste, then you can make a Giloy concoction by adding ginger, tulsi leaves,black pepper and corn and boiling it. After it boils to half, you can add pepper and clove as well. But its most easy to consume the raw like me, if you are not behind taste.
And a word of caution - its not suitable for people with auto immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
That's good information to know, I had not heard of Giloy. While reading your post in my mind I was thinking if I could get for my hubby, but then your last line that it's not suitable for autoimmune disappoints. His is an Autoimmune condition Myasthenia Gravis, and I keep him on natural therapies to improve his health.
Ya, it will be not a good fit for him. What about Aloe vera ?
Wow! I've never heard of this plant before in my life. From what you've stated in this post, this appears to be some powerful medicine that should be protected and studied. I would be curious to taste your preparation.
Thanks for sharing.

I like natural medicine, the advantage is that it does not cause side effects and is even useful for the whole human body.
I hadn't heard of Giloy until reading your post. I took your advice and did a search and see that it's great.
It's a shame that it is expensive, hopefully your cuttings will grow and coupled with neem, I feel you will be in very good health for a long time.
Thank you for also including the cautions to using this plant.
Great post 😊
Thanks for sharing about the benefits of the Giloy Stem and the process to make a healthy drink. I also heard we can also make the same via the Giloy leaves.. does it also work the same way out.. My guess is that Giloy Stem will be more beneficial. Take care dear.
Stem is better than leaves and more ever, you can keep them for a longer period.
Giloy sounds amazing!!! I agree, it might be an effort but the health rewards are great.

Namaste🙏 @sanjeevm, Right sir Giloy improves our immunity system. Thanks for sharing
There are so many nsyuealt remedies in India that I can't possibly begin to think of exploring, wow. Goodness me, haven't heard of Giloy stems but this is comprehensive. I reckon it will have a bitter taste hahaha, most of these medicines don't taste sweet.
Very interesting! I was not familiar with this plant before. I did a search and wiki showed that it has fruits, do you consume those as well?
Giloy ( Scientific name Tinospora cordifolia) is a well known medicinal plant in Ayurveda. Not only it is famous for its immunity booster property but it also very useful in some chronic diseases. has very good result in fever. Giloy Ghan Vati is used in fever conditions.
