Guduchi Satva

Sanskrit: गुडूची सत्व • Botanical: Tinospora cordifolia (starch extract)

Guduchi Satva is the starch extract obtained from the fresh stems of Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia). The text describes the process of preparation: fresh Guduchi stems are crushed and soaked in water, the starch is allowed to settle, and the water is decanted. The white sediment is dried as Guduchi Satva. It is especially indicated in Pittaja disorders, Daha (burning sensation), Raktapitta (bleeding disorders), and as a Rasayana (rejuvenative). It is lighter and easier to digest than the raw herb.
