Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry of Tinospora cordifolia

Abstract

Guduchi is a Sanskrit word that meaning "protector of the body." It's also known as amrta or nectar, and it's incredibly beneficial for boosting the body's immune system and balancing the activities of its numerous organs. As a result, attempts have been made in the current research activity to give a comprehensive study on Guduchi Satva, with its authentication and validation carried out in a variety of ways. Tinospora cordifolia Genuine and market samples were examined for pharmacognostic characterization, phytochemical screening, and antibacterial testing during standardization. According to studies, the market sample was tainted and could not be used as a safe and effective medicine. This identification was utilized to create multiple markers for guduchi satva standardization. These features can also be employed as key identifiers in Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia. As a result, these indicators may be employed scientifically to detect adulteration and maintain medicine purity. In this study, a single Guduchi formulation, Guduchi Satva, is prepared using three different sizes (diameters) of Guduchi stems in three different batches in order to determine the ideal size of Guduchi stem that should be used to obtain the highest yield. Throughout the investigation, standard surgical protocols are followed.
