Giloy treats type 2 diabetes.

"Giloy (Tinospora Cordifolia) is an Ayurvedic herb that has been used and advocated in Indian medicine for ages”, says Delhi-based Nutritionist Anshul Jaibharat. In Sanskrit, Giloy is known as 'Amrita', which literally translates to 'the root of immortality', because of its abundant medicinal properties.

According to Dr. Manoj K. Ahuja, Fortis Hospital, “Giloy acts as a hypoglycaemic agent and helps treat diabetes (particularly Type 2 diabetes)”. Giloy juice helps reduce high levels of blood sugar and works wonders."(1)

With my experience, one should be cautious while taking Giloy. There are some reports that it aggravates rheumatoid arthritis.

Although most of the published data online suggests that it is a immunomodulator but some reports says it creates auto immune disorder.

Giloy contains anti oxidant & anti inflammatory properties which help in controlling type 2 diabetes.
