Giloy or Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), a popularly known herb, is safe to use but similar looking plants in circulation such as Tinospora crispa can be harmful, according to the Ministry of Ayush.
Giloy is a climbing shrub and an essential herb in Ayurvedic medicine. All its parts are thought to have health benefits. People have long used it to treat a wide range of issues, including fever, infections, diarrhoea and diabetes.
In a statement, the Ministry said it had recently noticed safety concerns on use of Guduchi that were published in social media and in some scientific journals.
