Tinospora cordifolia, the heart-leaved moonseed, is a herbaceous vine of the family Menispermaceae native to South and Southeast Asia. It has been used in Ayurveda in an attempt to treat various disorders.
There is no good evidence Tinospora cordifolia is of benefit as a medicine and its use can lead to potentially fatall herb-induced liver injury.
