Here are some notable side effects of using giloy, shared by Dr. Amitabh Parti, Director of Internal Medicine at Fortis Hospital, Gurgaon.
Can cause constipation
Although giloy is known for its digestive support, if overdoseed, some people may experience constipation. If you notice unusual changes in bowel movements after using giloy, users should stop using it and consult a doctor.
Excessive hypoglycemia
Giloy has the ability to control blood sugar naturally, especially useful for people with diabetes. However, if combined with diabetes medications, ghilides can cause blood sugar levels to drop sharply, causing danger.
Can trigger autoimmune diseases
Giloy is an immune-boosting herb that can over-stimulate the activity of the immune system. This is especially dangerous for people with autoimmune diseases such as lupus redness or rheumatoid arthritis, as it can easily worsen the condition. People with a history of autoimmune diseases should be careful or avoid using it.
unsafe for pregnant women
There is currently not enough medical evidence to confirm that ghipoli is safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Experts recommend that these subjects should avoid using them to ensure the safety of both mother and baby.
