What is Giloy?

Giloy is a powerful herb used in Ayurveda. It grows on trees with lengthy stems. Mature and full-grown stems are collected to produce extracts, juices, or powders from giloy.

It is rich in antioxidants and boosts immunity. Giloy aids in infection prevention, inflammation reduction, and digestion. The stems are boiled in water or used with tonics.

How is Giloy cultivated?

Giloy is made from stem cuttings that are planted near trees or other supports. It grows best in warm climates with moderate rainfall.

Farmers harvest the stems when they reach maturity. Once collected, stems are cleaned, dried, and pruned prior to storage. For use in medicine and therapy, they are then transformed into powders, tablets, or decoctions.
