Abstract

India has a vast variety of medicinal plants utilised as natural medicines since prehistoric times. Herbal medicine was the main form of treatment earlier in the 20th century because neither antibiotics nor analgesics were readily available. Nowadays, natural plant products are becoming more significant in clinical research since they have no side effects and have greater pharmacological response than allopathic medications. Tinospora cordifolia (Giloy or Guduchi) is a climbing shrub of Menispermaceae family used in Ayurvedic medicine system. It is a valuable medicinal plant with a long history of use in traditional medical systems such as Ayurveda, Unani, and Siddha. Since ancient times, Ayurvedic medicine has effectively employed Tinospora cordifolia, and its products are now used for both improved medicinal and financial outcomes. Tinospora cordifolia is mentioned in various ancient literatures such as Charak Samhita, Ashtang Hridya, Sushruta Samhita and Bhava Prakash. The plant is utilized to treat illnesses like arthritis, eye disorders, viral infections, allergic rhinitis, chronic fever, blood sugar regulation, immunity boosting, improved digestion, reduces stress and anxiety. It is also regarded as a strong immunomodulator, bitter tonic, and sharpens the memory. It was also found that Tinospora cordifolia acts as an active component in a number of polyherbal remedies for treating hepatotoxicity. The Indian government’s Ministry of AYUSH has recommended this plant as a preventive home treatment for the COVID-19 outbreak. The plant’s chemical constituents such as aliphatic compounds, diterpenoid lactones, steroids, sesquiterpenoid, glycosides, phenolics, and essential oils found in the root, stem, and entire plant are responsible for their pharmacological activities. It shows several biological activities such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, hepatoprotective, anti-diabetic, anti-stress etc.
