Health benefits of Guduchi
Guduchi
or Giloy is very effective herbal plant and widely used in Ayurveda. It called
Amrita in Sanskrit, Guduchi or Giloy in Hindi, Tinospora Cordifolia in English.
Guduchi has been used for
thousands of years in India but is only just beginning to be available in the
West. It is commonly used for the following purposes:
·
Preventing colds and flu
·
Reducing the side effects of
chemotherapy drugs
·
Immune system enhancement
·
Chronic skin disorders such as
psoriasis or eczema
·
Anti-arthritic and
anti-inflammatory
·
Hepatitis & jaundice (helps
protect the liver from exposure to toxins)
·
Gout and rheumatic disorders
Guduchi Can Live On Air
Guduchi has all the properties of amritam.
It is the best rasayana for rejuvenating the body and getting
rid of deep rooted imbalances. In fact, it is so full of life that it can grow
without any soil or water.
The
ancient Ayurvedic text, Bhava Prakash, lists one of guduchi's names
as chinnodbhava (able to grow even after being cut). You can
suspend a cutting of guduchi in the air with no access to
water or soil and it will grow leaves and branches as if it were connected to
the ground.
Ayurveda
compares this to the ability of certain saints and rishis (seers)
who don't need water or food. They have what is called the amrit siddhi (ability
to live purely on vibrational energy). These saints get all the prana (soma,
agni and marut) from the air, the sun, the moon, and the
vibrational intelligence of the environment.
Guduchi is the Best of the Three Amrit Plants
There
are three plants which have amrit (nectar of the gods) in
them, according to Ayurveda. One is guduchi. The other two are
garlic and haritaki.
The Properties of Guduchi
Bhava
Prakash lists
many valuable properties of guduchi. Our tradition know many many
ways to use this plant. Here are a few highlights worth mentioning.
Guduchi is the one and only
Ayurvedic herb which can bind and get rid of both amavisha(reactive
toxins generated inside the body) and garavisha (xenobiotics
like mercury, pesticides, etc.) and reestablish the intelligence of the body
once it removes the toxins.
Guduchi is the #1 rasayana (rejuvenative
herb) in Ayurveda because it can really reverse aging, support the immune system
and detoxify. It has the vayasthapana prabhava (the ability of
making a person look youthful).
It
is described as sangrahani (helping to accumulate healthy dhatus,
or tissues). It travels to the gaps, or burners, between the dhatus and
helps to increase absorption there. If there is anykashaya (wasting)
in any tissue, guduchi helps to build it back.
This
is partly due to the fact that guduchi not only has lots of soma (nourishing
ability) but is also kashaya (astringent), laghu (light),
and has an ushna virya (hot thermogenic property).
The
warmth and lightness, as well as the subtle nature of the plant, allows the soma to
penetrate into the deep tissues, and the kashaya guna (astringent
quality) allows the soma to be absorbed by the tissues.
One
other important prabhava (special property) of guduchi is vakshagni
dipani. Vaksha means "chest" or
"heart" in Sanskrit. Agni means "flame." Dipani means
"strengthening the flame."Vakshagni dipani means that guduchi strengthens
the flame of the heart.
Just
as there is a pitta governing the heart and emotions (sadhaka
pitta), so there is a flame, or burner, in the heart (sadhaka agni or vakshagni).
The pitta is the fuel, and the agni is the
burner.
Guduchi cleans the burner and
strengthens the flame that processes all emotional challenges in life. When
this flame is strong, no emotional challenge is powerful enough to extinguish
it.
Depression
cannot happen if the sadhaka agni is strong. Anger cannot
happen when thevakshagni is strong. When the sadhaka agni is
burning brightly, one become spiritually free.
Because guduchi opens
the heart in this way, it also indirectly helps the mind by connecting the
light of the soul to the mind more easily. This is why it is also called a medhya
rasayana (good for the mind).
The
list is probably infinite, but here are a few of the conditions where guduchi is
reported byBhava Prakash to be helpful: daha (burning), meha (when
useful substances like sugar go out through the urine), kas (chronic
cough), pandutam (anemia), kamala (chronic
jaundice), kushta(skin diseases), vatasrajwara (vata
type of fever), krimi (pathogenic bacteria), vamimharet(vomiting
due to toxins), krichahridaroga (difficult to cure heart
conditions).

UAE National Day: Happy 42nd birthday!
Dubai: It was a day fit for a 42nd birthday party — blue skies, happy crowds and a sea of red, green, white and black colours celebrated the UAE.
From Abu Dhabi to Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah to Dubai — and everywhere in between — citizens and residents united in pride and passion for the UAE to wave the flag.
While Sunday was a holiday for some in the private sector and all in the public sector, Monday is a public sector holiday with government offices and services shut to allow officials and public workers enjoy National Day — the 42nd in the UAE’s history marking when the seven emirates joined together as one and created a land where the sky is the limit and where hopes and dreams come true.
While the UAE is still basking in national pride after winning the opportunity to host the World Expo in 2020, Sunday was another opportunity to indulge in pride.
“The Happiest Nation”, the main event for the 42nd UAE National Day celebrations in Dubai, attracted thousands. The event was attended by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai.
The event at Burj Park began with Shaikh Mohammad honouring the team that worked on Expo 2020, followed by the “Happiest Nation” operette.
It started with a choreographed sketch and a video that symbolised the different UAE terrains: the sea, the mountains, the desert and the agriculture; and how they all came together for the union. It was followed by a series of videos and shows that included traditional Emirati dance, plus mention of notable UAE achievements and personalities.
The show was inspired by a poem by Shaikh Mohammad, where he expressed the UAE’s historical legacy, its current developments and the future that awaits it.
After the show, a signature display of fireworks lit up the skies.
In Abu Dhabi’s Breakwater area, a long colourful display and fluttering flags are proving a crowd-puller. This is Abu Dhabi’s statistical timeline, which shows its economic, social and environmental growth since the 1960s until 2012. It also shows the Government’s vision for Abu Dhabi’s future until 2030. Created by the Statistics Centre Abu Dhabi, it was launched on Sunday to commemorate the UAE’s 42nd National Day and present the Abu Dhabi emirate’s development to residents and visitors alike.
Thousands of people flocked to Downtown Dubai on Sunday to cheer the annual National Day Parade featuring bands, horses, themed floats, street performers and cars.
Mohammad Bin Rashid Boulevard was sealed off to regular traffic to allow the procession to flow smoothly.
The annual parade is organised by Emaar Properties in its flagship development that includes the world’s tallest tower, the Burj Khalifa, and The Dubai Mall, said to be the world’s biggest shopping destination.
Revellers lined the Boulevard to cheer on the parade; many stood on benches, balconies and patios of nearby properties to get a good look.
The entire area was awash with colour as countless UAE flags fluttered in the breeze.
The parade was held a day before National Day, which falls on December 2 every year to celebrate the formation of the UAE in 1971.
With Dubai home to more than 200 nationalities, cultural groups representing different communities took part in the event. Schools, government departments and private companies were also represented.
Even little Ajman got in on the act, creating a new official Guinness World Record as it created the largest human greeting card mosaic on the Corniche.
Around 4,000 participants used 5,500 individual cards to create a giant mosaic covering 120 square metres celebrating National Day. The Ajman mosaic smashed the record held by a US-hamburger chain in Taipei in January 2013. That mosaic cover 101 square metres.
But even with all of the celebrations on Sunday, there was one more reason to smile: Today is National Day.
