BABUJI’S NATURAL REMEDIES

During his lifetime, BABUJI shared a wealth of knowledge to his associates about the simple natural remedies that he learned and also discovered during his life in northern India. This month we share one of his remedies for fever.¹

In Ayurveda, it is thought that there are two factors that cause fever – toxicity due to improper digestion, and foreign particles like bacteria, viruses, and toxins. Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) is a herbaceous vine that is used to combat fever, and for its high nutritional content, alkaloids, terpenoids, lignans, and steroids. The stems are mostly used, but the leaves and roots can also be used.

Giloy relieves any type of fever, including chronic and recurrent fever, dengue fever, swine flu, hay fever, and Covid. For best results, drink the decoction or juice in the morning on an empty stomach, and avoid taking it at night.

Ingredients:

A handful of clean chopped Giloy stems.

Water to fill a small saucepan.

Method:

Place the stems in the saucepan of water, bring it to the boil, and let it simmer for at least 10 minutes. This will produce a decoction.

Strain the mixture, let it cool, and take a teaspoon of the liquid twice a day.

It can also be taken in powder form, capsule form, or as a juice.
