JAMMU, Jan 29: The hepatoprotective (ability to keep the liver healthy) and other beneficial effects of Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) have now been accepted by the British Pharma in United Kingdom.
The article in this regard was published in the famous research journal ‘Journal of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain’.
As per the Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, said that research on Giloy has found that it is helpful in keeping the liver healthy as well as in preventing the degradation of body cells and providing protection to the liver.
Giloy also increases the immunity of the body. By using Giloy daily (in the form of food), one can get relief from many diseases. He told that Giloy can be used as a food supplement that protects the liver.
In a statement issued, Acharya Balkrishna Ji Maharaj said that Giloy was traditionally used since ancient times for blood purification and increasing immunity. Giloy is a hepatoprotective agent. The CCl4 model is most commonly used by research to evaluate its potential. Its hepatoprotective effects can be attributed to alkaloids (berberine, palmatine and jatrorrhizin) and sinapic acid. Berberine reduces inflammation by inhibiting the proinflammatory cascade, triggered by TNF-á, and reduces nitrosative stress by inhibiting iNOS. Giloy also exhibits anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant and other activities. Giloy has been found to be an active medicinal ingredient in many polyherbal formulations used to treat chemical-mediated hepatotoxicity.
“Every effort was made to suppress Ayurveda but Patanjali has always given glory to Ayurveda, but the scientists of Patanjali Research Institute did research on Giloy and presented it with evidence,” he said.
“Due to the efforts of Patanjali group, today scientists all over the world are acknowledging the importance of Ayurveda, hail Science, hail Ayurveda, glories to Patanjali,” he added.
