Introduction: Guduchi (Tinospora Cordifolia) has been reported as drug of choice in many disease conditions
in Ayurveda and widely practiced for its broad spectrum therapeutics. The present study was designed to
evaluate an antimicrobial activity of two samples of Guduchi powder treated with juice of the same drug which
was prepared by two methods. Materials and Methods: Well Diffusion method and Broth Dilution method
were adopted for present study. Recommended microbial strain like; Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus
epidermidis, S. typhi, E. coli, P. aeruginosa as well as fungi C. albicans were used in this study. Results: The
samples were found active against the gram-negative bacteria E. coli and gram-positive bacteria S. aureus. The
antimicrobial properties of Swarasa Bhavita Guduchi Churna may be due the presence of chemical compounds
like; alkaloid; Berberine and a Glucoside; Giloin. Conclusion: Bhavita Guduchi showed significant antibacterial
activity and its active constituents can be helpful in the therapeutic treatments.
