Patanjali New Research: Patanjali scientists have achieved another success. Actually, scientists have been successful in the treatment of joint pain, i.e. arthritis. This new research of Patanjali done on Ayurveda based medicine Orthogrit has been published in the international research journal ‘Pharmacological Research- Reports’ of Elsevier Publications.
This study shows that OrthoGrit is effective in reducing inflammation caused by arthritis, preventing cartilage wear and maintaining joint function.
Ability to eradicate disease from its roots – Acharya Balkrishna
On this occasion, Acharya Balkrishna said that ‘in today’s time, there would hardly be any elderly person who does not suffer from knee pain. Current medical methods only work on the symptoms, not the root cause. Ayurveda identifies the root cause of every disease and solves it. OrthoGrit is a confluence of Ayurveda and modern science, which has the ability to completely eliminate even the incurable diseases like arthritis.
He told that ‘Orthogrit is made from natural herbs like Vacha, Motha, Daruhaldi, Pippalmool, Ashwagandha, Nirgundi, Punarnava etc., which have been beneficial in joint pain, swelling etc. since ancient times in Sanatan culture.’
What is study?
Dr. Anurag Varshney, senior scientist of Patanjali Research Institute, said on this occasion that arthritis is a chronic disease which affects crores of people across the world. In this research we have studied 3D Spheroids of human cartilage cells and C. elegans. OrthoGrit protected human cartilage cells from the adverse effects of inflammation, reduced Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), and decreased levels of inflammatory markers such as IL-6, PEG-2 and IL-1β. Besides, gene expression of JAK2, COX2, MMP1, MMP3, ADAMTS-4 was also improved.
In studies on C. elegans, OrthoGrit also increased the lifespan of these organisms. Improved their locomotor activity and controlled the expression of inflammation-related genes, PMK-1, SK-1, CED-3. This research suggests that OrthoGrit not only reduces the symptoms of arthritis, but is also effective in stopping the progression of the disease. Acharya Balkrishna said that ‘Published research shows that Ayurveda identifies the root cause of every disease and solves it.’
