Benefits of Giloy Ghan vati
Chronic Fever
Chronic or persistent fevers are the type of fever that lasts more than 10 to 14 days. It could be caused due to a mild infection or chronic condition. As per Ayurveda, there are two factors that can lead to high fever, the first is Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion) and the second is any foreign particle or organisms that enter the body. Giloy Ghan Vati benefits in reducing fever due to its Javarghana (antipyretic) property. Its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties also help reduce fever by improving digestion and absorption of food, preventing the formation of Ama.
