Giloy and Tulsi: Ayurvedic Herbs for a Daily Immunity Routine

In many Indian homes, a tulsi plant stands in the courtyard and giloy is a familiar name in the kitchen cupboard. Both herbs have a long place in Ayurveda, where they are traditionally used to support the body's natural defences, especially when the weather changes.

Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia)

Giloy, also known as Guduchi or Amrita, is a climbing herb. In Ayurveda it is traditionally taken to support general immunity and overall vitality.

Tulsi (Holy Basil)

Tulsi is traditionally used to support the respiratory system and to help the body deal with seasonal changes. Tulsi drops and teas are a simple way to bring it into the day.

A simple daily routine

• Morning: a glass of warm water, then your giloy tablet as directed on the pack.
• During the day: keep hydrated and include vitamin C foods such as amla, lemon and oranges.
• Evening: a few tulsi drops in warm water or tea, as directed on the label.
• Every day: aim for 7 to 8 hours of sleep and some movement. Herbs support a routine, they do not replace it.

Good to know

• Giloy can affect blood sugar and the immune system. Please speak to your doctor first if you take diabetes medicines, take immune-related medicines, or are pregnant or nursing.
• Do not exceed the serving on the pack.
• If symptoms such as fever or cough last more than a few days, see a doctor.
