Overview
Samsamani Vati (Guduchi Ghana Vati) - Jvaraghna & Rasayana
Samsamani Vati, also known as Guduchi Ghana Vati or Giloy Ghan Vati, is a classical Ayurvedic formulation prepared from the concentrated aqueous extract (ghana) of Guduchi stem (Tinospora cordifolia). It is traditionally indicated in Jvara (fever)—especially Viṣama Jvara and Jīrṇa Jvara, and is widely used for post-febrile weakness, Rajyakṣmā, Pāṇḍuroga, and general daurbalya.
Guduchi is revered as “Amṛtā”, signifying its dual role as a potent immunomodulator and Rasāyana, making this formulation suitable for both acute management and long-term rejuvenation, depending on dose and anupāna.
Note: Concentration, extraction ratio, tablet weight, and processing may vary as per classical reference and manufacturer. Clinical application should be tailored accordingly.
