Guduchi Extract, 2 oz. Tinospora cordifolia
Guduchi is one of the most famous detoxifying herbs in the Ayurvedic pharmacopeia. It crosses the blood-brain barrier and improves cognitive functioning and recall, but its main claim to fame is its power to reduce ama (toxins) and even to protect the body from the harmful effects of toxic substances. It enjoys the status of a rasayana or rejuvenative herb and was traditionally used for three years in order to promote longevity and imperviousness to toxins.
Guduchi can be used long-term to reduce symptoms related to excess pitta and to kindle agni, i.e. substituting toxic fire with purifying fire.
Guduchi is an ingredient in Chyawanprash and is an adaptogen. It contains berberine and is a febrifuge that is considered to be as strong as cinchona. It is so revered that it is called Divine Nectar, Amrita. It"s nutritive for vata and pitta types. It is believed to remove toxins through heating, a property not assigned to many herbs. It has analgesic qualities and is used for rheumatic pains, jaundice, and serious infections, including hepatitis B and tuberculosis. It works extremely well in conjunction with turmeric to prevent liver damage from toxins.
Haritaki is one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic medicine and the most revered in Tibetan medicine. It is a parasiticide (intestinal worms) and one of herbs used in preparation for kaya kalpa, Ayurvedic rejuvenative therapy. It is a fruit and one of the three ingredients in triphala. It is the most purgative of the three fruits. It pacifies vata and helps to remove toxins, normalize lipids, and rebuild blood.
Haritaki has five of the six tastes. It lacks salt. As the primary herb for the first stage of regeneration, rasa dhatu, it is used both to purify, largely by promoting proper removal of toxic matter and waste, and to rebuild plasma, the foundation of all support to all tissues. It aids vision and neuromuscular function and supports the work of the kidneys and liver.
