  • Abstract:
  • Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), a revered herb in Ayurvedic medicine, has long been celebrated for its immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, and adaptogenic properties. This technical dossier presents a comprehensive evaluation of Guduchi’s therapeutic potential, safety profile, and pharmacological actions, especially in light of recent concerns regarding its hepatotoxicity. Drawing from classical Ayurvedic texts, modern pharmacological studies, and clinical trials, the document critically assesses both the benefits and risks associated with Guduchi. It concludes that, when properly identified and administered, T. cordifolia remains a safe and efficacious herb for a wide range of health conditions, including infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic syndromes. The dossier also emphasizes the importance of botanical authentication and standardized formulations to ensure safety and efficacy.
