Guduchi Powder - #3615

I’ve been hearing a lot about Guduchi powder lately and how it’s a powerful herb in Ayurveda. Some people say it’s great for immunity, while others mention it helps with digestion and even stress. I’ve been dealing with frequent colds and a general lack of energy, so I’m curious if Guduchi powder could help me. But before I start taking it, I have some questions about how to use it and whether it’s suitable for my condition. First, what exactly is Guduchi powder used for in Ayurveda? I understand it’s made from the herb Tinospora Cordifolia, but does it really work for so many different things? I’ve read that it’s considered a “Rasayana” or rejuvenating herb, but I’m not sure what that means in practical terms. For example, would Guduchi powder help me build immunity to avoid colds, or is it more effective for detoxing the body? Another thing I’d like to know is how to properly take Guduchi powder. Some people say to mix it with warm water or honey, while others recommend boiling it to make a decoction. Is there a preferred method that maximizes its benefits? Also, how much should I take daily? I don’t want to overdo it and end up with side effects, especially since I’ve never used Ayurvedic herbs before. I’ve also heard that Guduchi powder can balance all three doshas Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. But if I have a specific dosha imbalance, like Pitta (I tend to get overheated and irritable), would Guduchi powder still be helpful? Or should I combine it with other herbs to target my symptoms more effectively? Lastly, are there any risks or precautions I should be aware of before using Guduchi powder? For example, does it interact with certain medications or cause issues if taken for a long time? I want to make sure I’m using it safely, especially since I’ve seen mixed reviews online about its long-term use.
