11 Complementary Therapies from India Gaining Popularity

7. Giloy-based remedies

Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) has emerged as a high-demand herbal product in India’s expanding herbal market. Traditionally taken for immune support and seasonal ailments, Giloy is now sold in syrups, capsules, and tea blends and is part of many over-the-counter wellness lines (Intel Market Research). Market forecasts show rising sales for Giloy formulations as consumers look for botanical options that fit daily routines. Clinical research on Giloy is developing, with trials exploring immune markers and safety profiles, though high-quality large trials are still limited. If you consider Giloy, choose products tested for purity, and be cautious if you have autoimmune conditions or are on immunosuppressive drugs—ask a healthcare professional first. Start with small doses from reputable brands and watch for side effects. Used thoughtfully, Giloy can be a gentle addition to daily herbal support rather than a replacement for medical treatment.
