Many animal and human studies have shown benefits in improving learning and memory in studies. Children with mental disorders might have shown a response to gulvel.

Many animal studies have demonstrated how the extract is effective as an anti-stress agent and more research is needed for their use in humans for the same6<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThese benefits of gulvel for brain need further studies to know the extent to which it can benefit humans. You must consult a doctor before consuming any herb for its benefits for brain related disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Potential Uses of\u00a0Gulvel\u00a0for\u00a0Infections<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nGulvel might help with infections of various kinds like diarrhoea, ear infection, urinary tract infection (UTI), infection of tonsils, and tuberculosis (lung infection). In diarrhoea, it might be useful due to its antispasmodic property (relaxes gut muscles).<\/p>\n\n\n\nApart from these actions, it might be effective in infections because of its immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties6<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0However we would need further research to provide scientific evidence to prove these benefits for infections.

Potential Uses of\u00a0Gulvel\u00a0for the\u00a0Gut<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nGulvel is useful in diarrhoea, dysentery, dyspepsia, bloating, flatulence, and in cases of abdominal pain due to its antispasmodic action (relaxes gut muscles). While in the case of ulcers it might make the gastric fluid less acidic which has been demonstrated in animal studies and more studies in humans are needed6<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0However these benefits are not backed by proven scientific evidence so it is adviced to consult a doctor if you have any gut related conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n5. Potential Uses of\u00a0Gulvel\u00a0for the\u00a0Urinary\u00a0System<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nTraditionally,\u00a0\u00a0gulvel has been used in urinary tract infections as it has the ability to dissolve stones, make the urine more alkaline,\u00a0and may have a diuretic effect (that is it can increase urine formation). It may have some effects on the immune process, and it may possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. All these effects have been demonstrated in animal studies and have potential use in humans but this effect will need further studies to establish7<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n6. Potential Uses of\u00a0Gulvel\u00a0for Diabetes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIn Ayurveda, it is used to treat high blood sugar (diabetes), as it has the property to lower blood sugar.\u00a0Animal studies have proven this property of the plant. Further studies need for its application for the same in people6<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0However, serious conditions like diabetes must be diagnosed and treated by a doctor. Therefore, kindly consult a doctor and do not self-medicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n7. Potential Uses of\u00a0Gulvel\u00a0for\u00a0Joints and Bones<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nOsteoporosis is a condition where there is bone mass loss making the person prone to fractures. Arthritis is inflammation of the joints causing pain and restriction in movement. In animal studies,\u00a0gulvel has showed slowing of bone loss. Owing to its anti-inflammatory property it may be used to treat osteoporosis and arthritis6<\/a>,7<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0However, more research is required to prove such effects of gulvel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n8. Potential Uses of\u00a0Gulvel\u00a0for the Lungs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nBronchial asthma is an allergic condition where the person experiences episodes of difficulty in breathing, wheezing and cough. Due to its immunomodulatory property as demonstrated in animal studies,\u00a0gulvel might be useful in allergies and in bronchial asthma. It may be used in hay fever, while more research is needed for its use in bronchial asthma6<\/a>,7<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0Gulvel consumption should be done under supervision of an Ayurvedic physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n9. Potential Uses of\u00a0Gulvel\u00a0for the Liver<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nGulvel may have some beneficial effect on the liver and is useful in conditions like anaemia, jaundice, inflammation of the liver.\u00a0It might help in reducing liver toxicities cause by drugs used against tuberculosis infections6<\/a>,7<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0You must consult a doctor for proper prescription and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nBased on some research, I can say that Gulvel might exhibit hepato protective properties. Consuming Gulvel might save you from liver damage and improve liver function. Also, Gulvel might help in protecting liver damage induced by excess bile salts and antituberculosis drugs12<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\nDr. Siddharth Gupta, B.A.M.S, M.D (Ayu)<\/a><\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n10. Potential Uses of\u00a0Gulvel\u00a0in Cancer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nAnimal studies have shown that extracts of gulvel slow the growth of tumours and increase life span. It can offer some solutions to invasive surgeries along with radiation therapy in patients with cancer7<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0Cancer is a serious condition and should be diagnosed and treated only by a qualified doctors. Please do not self medicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlthough studies show the benefits of gulvel in different health conditions, this information is insufficient. Hence, there is a need for further studies to establish the true extent of the benefits of gulvel on human health. Furthermore, every person may respond differently to these herbs. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor before using gulvel for any medical condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nIn ancient Ayurveda, Gulvel is widely used to enhance cognitive functions like memory and learning in children. Additionally, in adults, it has been used for vertigo. When given, Gulvel exhibits a positive response in children showing mild to moderate symptoms of behavioural disorders and may help improve their IQ level12<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\nDr. Rajeev Singh, BAMS<\/a><\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/span>How to Use\u00a0Gulvel?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe roots, stem, and leaves (aerial parts) of gulvel are used. Usually, the root is powdered and either a decoction is made or it is mixed in milk before consumption. The stem and leaves are made into a paste and then eaten orally as or in the form of juice7<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou must consult a qualified doctor before taking gulvel or any herbal supplements.
