Scientific Summary
Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) is a vine plant whose thick green stems and roots are harvested for medicinal use. It is mainly used as a detoxifier and antioxidant, to support liver health, improve memory and comprehension, and help regulate blood sugar levels. The herb is generally well tolerated, but can cause mild stomach upset or allergic reactions in some people, may interact with anticoagulants or immune‑suppressing drugs, and should not be used during pregnancy or nursing.
