Benefits of Giloy Ghan Vati

1. Chronic Fever
Chronic or persistent fevers are the type of fever that lasts more than 10 to 14 days. It could be caused due to a mild infection or chronic condition. As per Ayurveda, there are two factors that can lead to high fever, the first is Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion) and the second is any foreign particle or organisms that enter the body. Giloy Ghan Vati helps in reducing fever due to its Javarghana (antipyretic) property. Its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties also help reduce fever by improving digestion and absorption of food, preventing the formation of Ama.

2. Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes also known as Madhumeha is due to an aggravation of Vata and impaired digestion. Impaired digestion leads to an accumulation of Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion) and impairs the function of insulin. Giloy Ghan Vati is beneficial for controlling high sugar levels due to its Tikta (bitter) and Kapha- Pitta balancing properties.

3. Weak Immune System
Giloy Ghan Vati enhances immunity and reduces cough, fever, and cold. It has potent rejuvenating and immune-boosting properties. It also improves the respiratory system and helps manage cough, asthma, COPD, and other respiratory issues. Taking Giloy Ghan Vati regularly can help to maintain a healthy respiratory tract and strengthen immunity.

4. Chronic Cough
Chronic cough is a common ailment that usually happens with a cold. Chronic cough is generally caused by the accumulation of mucus in the respiratory tract. It is commonly known as Kapha disorder in Ayurveda. Giloy Ghan Vati is one of the best Ayurvedic remedies to control cough associated with the common cold. It provides the most benefits when taken daily. Taking Giloy Ghan Vati with honey helps to balance Kapha and rejuvenates the lungs. This is due to its Rasayana (rejuvenating) property.
