Guducci – Powder - Tinospora cordifolia

Guduchi is a climbing perennial vine with a long history in Ayurvedic herbal traditions. Scientifically known as Tinospora cordifolia, this botanical is native to tropical regions of India, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka and belongs to the Menispermaceae family. The Sanskrit name Guduchi is traditionally interpreted as “the one who protects the body,” reflecting the plant's longstanding place in Ayurvedic practices.

The plant develops long, twining stems that often climb along trees, hedges, and other supports. Its heart-shaped leaves and small yellow flowers are followed by distinctive red, bean-shaped fruits. Because of its leaf shape and growth habit, Guduchi is also known as heart-leaved moonseed.

Guduchi has been used in Ayurveda for centuries and is traditionally regarded as a versatile botanical associated with balance among the three doshas. The stem is the part most commonly used in traditional preparations and is valued for its nourishing and rejuvenating qualities. It is traditionally described as warming, with sweet, bitter, and astringent taste characteristics.

Our Guduchi Powder is prepared from the stems of Tinospora cordifolia, providing a convenient form for traditional herbal applications.
