Medicinal Uses Of Giloy - #7118

Anonymous

I’ve been struggling with recurring fever and low energy for a while now. A family friend suggested trying Ayurvedic remedies and mentioned the medicinal uses of giloy. I’ve heard of giloy being called “amrit” in Ayurveda, but I don’t know much about how it works or how to use it. I’ve read that the medicinal uses of giloy include boosting immunity, treating fever, and even improving digestion. But is it really that effective? Can it replace regular medicines for fever or is it more of a supportive treatment? I’ve also heard that it helps with stress and anxiety. Is that true? What’s the best way to use giloy for its medicinal benefits? Should I go for giloy juice, powder, or tablets? I’m worried about dosage too. Can using too much giloy have side effects? Another question I have is whether the medicinal uses of giloy apply to everyone. For example, I have a sensitive stomach and can’t handle many herbs. Is giloy safe for someone like me? Does it work better on an empty stomach, or should it be taken with food?

Giloy, often called "amrit" in Ayurveda, is highly regarded for its medicinal uses, particularly for boosting immunity, reducing fever, and improving overall vitality. Here are answers to your concerns:

Effectiveness:
Fever: Giloy is effective in managing recurring fever as a supportive treatment by enhancing the body's natural defenses. However, it’s best used alongside conventional medicine for severe fevers.
Immunity and Stress: It helps reduce stress and anxiety by balancing the body and mind and is known to improve energy levels.
Forms and Usage:
Juice: Commonly used for boosting immunity and treating fever.
Powder or Tablets: Convenient for daily use; ideal for digestion and stress management.
Dosage: Typically 1-2 teaspoons of juice or 1-2 tablets daily, but consult a practitioner for personalized advice.
Safety:
Sensitive Stomach: Giloy is generally safe but start with a small dose to ensure it doesn’t upset your stomach.
Timing: It can be taken on an empty stomach or with food, depending on tolerance.
Side Effects: Overuse may cause constipation or lower blood sugar, so stick to recommended dosages.
If your symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional to ensure the underlying issue is addressed.
