Quotes

Acharya Balkrishnaji

Co-founder of Patanjali Ayurved discussing giloy’s reported uses

“People with either a "cold" or "hot" constitution can consume it. From an Ayurvedic perspective, it is recognised as Tridosh-ghna (balancing all three doshas), Kapha-ghna (pacifying Kapha), Vata-ghna (pacifying Vata), and Kushtha-ghna (curing skin diseases).”

“It also helps those suffering from chronic fevers; we often see patients who have had a fever for years, having undergone numerous tests and consulted many doctors without finding a diagnosis.”
