Abstract
Giloy, also known as Tinospora cordifolia, occupies a significant place among traditional medicine systems. This review is a complete embodiment of the diversity of the subject matter starting with its botanical meaning and refined taxonomy which are complemented by an introduction on vernacular names. In addition, it examines the intricate maze of giloy’s chemical constituents thereby laying the groundwork for understanding its molecular structure.This review brings together literature on different preparations presenting a holistic view of how Tinospora cordifolia is used in therapeutic applications. The paper explores its pharmacological actions that are all-purpose and therefore seeks to find out whether these actions are effective in different areas including antioxidant effects, anti-cancer and anti-diabetic properties, immune modulation mechanisms, wound healing mechanisms. At the same time, the toxicological aspects of giloy are analyzed in order to provide an unbiased view on its safety concerns. Furthermore, potential adulteration issues and common adulterants have been thoroughly discussed while critically assessing challenges related to use of giloy.In summing up, this article not only compiles current knowledge but also discloses some light into what Tinospora cordifolia is now about and might be tomorrow in relation to medicine
