- Guduchi is a shrub native to India. It is a staple in Ayurvedic traditions and its roots, stems, and leaves have all been used medicinally for thousands of years. It is only just beginning to be available in the West.
- Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), also known as amrit, is one of the most valued herbs in the Ayurvedic pharmacy. According to myth, when the ancient gods churned the primordial ocean, an ambrosial nectar was created that would grant immortality to any who drank it. The nectar was named amrit, a Sanskrit word that means “imperishable.”

- Guduchi can be combined with shatavari or ashwagandha as a general tonic, or with aloe vera juice for the purposes of detoxification.
