The Ministry of Ayush has issued a statement challenging the findings of a study that linked the herb giloy to liver damage. The ministry, however, said that relating giloy or TC to liver damage would be “misleading and disastrous to the traditional medicine system of India as herb guduchi or giloy has been used in Ayurveda since long. A similar-looking herb TinosporoCrispa might have a negative effect on the liver. Giloy plant has anti-ageing properties that help manage dark spots, pimples, fine lines, and wrinkles. It gives you the spotless and glowing skin that you have always dreamt of.”Can giloy cause liver damage?
