Ayurveda, a traditional healing system that has roots in the Indian subcontinent, has now invited praises from the daughter of Raila Odinga, former prime minister of Kenya. Odinga's daughter Rosemary, who regained her eyesight after undergoing Ayurvedic treatment in India in 2019, has said she would take Ayurveda to Kenya as it can help millions of people.

“Earlier I couldn't see, now I can. PM mentioning my treatment shows close relations b/w our countries. I'll take Ayurveda to my country, it can help millions of people,” news agency ANI quoted her as saying on Wednesday.

The comment came in the backdrop of the World Health Organisation launching its Global Centre for Traditional Medicine (GCTM) in Jamnagar in Gujarat a day ago. Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus, Director-General, World Health Organization (WHO) had also attended the ceremony to lay the foundation stone, alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The WHO centre in Gujarat will be aimed at unlocking the potential of Ayurveda by blending ancient practices with modern science. It will be the first and only global outpost centre for traditional medicine across the world.

Raila Odinga had himself praised Ayurveda and spoken about his intentions of taking Ayurveda to his country. In February, he had discussed with PM Modi the opening of a branch of the same hospital -- where his daughter underwent treatment -- in Kenya. "I have suggested to them that they should come and set up a branch in Nairobi, Kenya and I am going to work with them to set up this centre," ANI had quoted Odinga as saying.

Odinga was referring to Sreedhareeyam Ayurvedic Eye Hospital and Research Centre in Kerala.

After being diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2017, Odinga's daughter had undergone surgery in Nairobi. But in the post-operative period, Rosemary had complained of severe loss of eyesight. She travelled to India in 2019 and underwent treatment at Shreedhareeyam Ayurvedic Eye Hospital in Koothattukulam, Kerala which helped her vision to restore.

Long Covid cure? Researchers to trial traditional Indian herb treatment

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine will work with the All India Institute of Ayurveda to determine whether a traditional Indian herb can help people recover from long Covid.

Ashwagandha, commonly known as Indian winter cherry, is traditionally used in the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine to boost energy, reduce stress and strengthen the immune system.

Experts said recent trials had proven the herb’s efficacy in reducing anxiety, stress, improving muscle strength and reducing fatigue symptoms in patients with chronic diseases.

Long Covid patients can suffer from cognitive dysfunction, poor mental health, extreme fatigue and muscle weakness.

It is estimated these symptoms affect 10 to 20 per cent of Covid survivors and can last for one to three months or longer in many cases.

The study, funded by the Ministry of Ayush of the Government of India, will include a double-blind clinical trial involving 2,000 people living in the UK with long Covid.

Half of the trial participants will take 500mg Ashwagandha tablets twice a day for three months, while the other half will be given a placebo.

Researchers will randomly select participants to have a monthly follow-up of self-reported quality of life, impairment to activities of daily living, mental and physical health symptoms, supplement use and adverse events.

The study is expected to last for over a year.

“Ashwagandha has been shown to reduce symptoms of other conditions that are similar to those of long Covid, so we are hopeful that it will be an effective way to combat the condition,” said Sanjay Kinra, professor in clinical epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

The research is also supported by the UK’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on Indian Traditional Sciences and the Traditional Complementary and Integrative Medicine Unit at the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Research is the only way to ensure appropriate integration of traditional medicine knowledge into mainstream medical practice,” said technical officer at WHO Geneva, Geetha Krishnan, who helped to facilitate the research project.

Researchers claim 400 medicinal plants have anti-diabetic properties

X

New Delhi: As a part of its initiatives to reduce the diabetic burden, the scientists have emphasised on exploring the anti-diabetic properties of around 400 medicinal plants to be used in making medicines based on ayurvedic formulations to control type-2 diabetes by reducing sugar level in blood.

According to the researchers from Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry and All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Kalyani, as of now, there are 21 herbal plants, including Vijayasar, Jamun, Cumin, Daruharidra, little gourd, bael, fenugreek, neem, amla, turmeric that have been found to have prominent anti-hyperglycemic action.

Stressing that diabetes cure lies in the nature, the researchers asserted that intensive studies have been done on 21 herbs and in-depth research on at least 400 herbal plants is needed to exhibit their anti-diabetic properties..

As per their research paper, which is published in the World Journal of Diabetes, these medicinal plants have been the basis of many drugs to manage diabetes. The researchers have also cited the example of BGR-34, a herbal formulation developed by the

Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), which has been used to manage diabetes.

The herbal drug BGR-34 contains not one, but many active compounds derived from four medicinal herbs daruharidra, gudmar, methi and vijayasar. Apart from this, giloe and majeeth have also been added to increase immunity as well as antioxidants levels, said Dr Sanchit Sharma, executive director, AIMIL Pharmaceuticals.

The study titled “Treatment on Nature’s lap: Use of Herbal Products in the Management of Hyperglycemia” stated

that although partial research conducted on eight plants, including pomegranate, shilajit, bean, tea, ginkgo biloba, and saffron demonstrate anti-diabetic properties,

it emphasised the need for further trials.

A recent study conducted by AIIMS Delhi revealed that BGR-34, an Ayurvedic medicine, not only helps in reducing sugar levels but also addresses obesity.

The researchers also noted that several allopathic drugs used in diabetes management have their origins in herbal remedies.

For instance, metformin, a widely prescribed medication, is derived from the Galega officinalis plant, which

was historically used to treat diabetes in 19th century Europe.

Content: Current research on gut microbial modulation with culinary herbs and spices

An article published in Food Chemistry elaborated on the health benefits of culinary herbs and spices. It stated that these plant extracts harbor the potential for prebiotic effect, owing to their polyphenol content. The bioactive constituents likely harbor anti-inflammatory properties and modulate the gut microbe. Using herbs and spices could prevent certain diseases associated with impaired gut barrier function and obesity.

Background

Many branches of alternative medicine, like Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani,  originated in India. The use of spices and herbs for medicinal purposes is an age-old practice, used even today – owing to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of these plant extracts and their high polyphenol content.

The fresh aerial parts (leaf and flowers) of certain plants are used as culinary herbs, whereas the dried remainder parts are used as a culinary spice. In Ayurveda, herbs and spices are not only used for promoting health but also for disease prevention.

Many herbs are used for treating mild gastrointestinal disorders, for instance, ginger for indigestion, turmeric during jaundice, licorice to attenuate gastrointestinal discomfort, and mint supplements during irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Herbs and spices are also used to ward off complications related to obesity, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and certain cancers.

The Mediterranean diet includes many herbs and spices, which renders its anti-inflammatory and oxidative stress reduction potential. Although there are indications for using herbs and spices for medicinal purposes, thorough scientific investigation is warranted before their prescription for health benefits.

The gut microbiome comprises bacteria, viruses, and eukaryotes. The colon and the large intestine harbor approximately 3.8 x 1013 microbes; the majority are bacteria. The gut microbiota can be categorized in many ways and differs according to the host’s age, dietary pattern, health status, environment, and medication use.

Identifying and characterizing the gut microbiota can be culture-independent (for example, fluorescent in situ hybridization or FIAH) or culture-dependent (traditional method of bacterial plating). The advanced culture-dependent method also exists, like meta-genomics sequencing, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, and immunoglobulin A sequencing.

Functions of the gut microbiome have been studied using human fecal specimens and multiple-stage complex gut models to determine the effects of dietary components on the gut microbial community and the effects of the gut microbiome on the overall well-being of the host. However, the entire functionality remains incompletely understood.

The review

This literature review explored current research findings on the effects of herbs and spices on gut microbes and the resulting health benefits.

Dietary modulation of the gut microbiota can improve overall health. Probiotics are dietary non-digestible carbohydrates that are not destroyed by the enzymes and digestive acids secreted by the upper digestive tract and enter the colon as fructans and galactans.

These metabolic byproducts are selectively utilized by beneficial bacteria which confer health benefits and improve the dysbiosis caused by illness, poor nutrition, aging, antibiotic use, and lifestyle alterations. Habitual consumption of probiotics can alter gut microbes by promoting specific bacterial populations.

Anaerobic gut bacteria ferment indigestible carbohydrates, which produce SCFAs (short-chain fatty acids). SCFAs impart numerous health benefits, such as – fat reduction, impeding type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) progression, along with anticarcinogenic effects.

Another substance beneficial for health is prebiotics. Prebiotics are substrates selectively used by the host microbiome to confer health benefits. Prebiotics use several pathways leading to positive impacts on health. They promote polyphenol production; these modulate the gut microbiome.

Polyphenols are also found in herbs and spices; hence, these plant extracts may impose prebiotic effects. Polyphenols are phytochemicals; dietary polyphenols aid in maintaining gut homeostasis by selectively acting as prebiotics. They also show antipathogenic and antioxidant effects and play crucial roles in cell signaling, insulin sensitivity, and synthesizing inflammatory mediators.

About 90-95% of the dietary polyphenols reach the colon, are metabolized by gut microbes, and are transformed into metabolites that affect the bioavailability of polyphenols (and hence the health benefits).

Polyphenols can be structurally classified into flavonoids and non-flavonoids. Coumarin and tannins can also be included under dietary polyphenols. Flavonoids modulate the gut microbiome by transforming into absorbable metabolites from an unabsorbable parent. The metabolites, quantity of the consumed polyphenol, and action of gut microbes determine the health benefits. Tannins found in nuts and berries also confer health benefits by converting ellagitannins into urolithin metabolites. These two pathways cause homeostasis of the gut microbiome, prevent oxidative damage and inflammation, and confer an antimicrobial effect against invading pathogens.

However, there remain inconsistencies in herb and spice inventions. Such results can be attributed to the low bioavailability and the variable content of polyphenols in different plant derivatives. The polyphenol content also varies according to the harvesting techniques, shelf life, processing, and cooking methods.

Many studies have found that spices and herbs positively alter gut microbiota. Certain herbs also reduce the risk of cancer by acting as anti-inflammatory compounds. The anti-inflammatory effects are also pronounced in cardiovascular diseases and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Spices promote SCFA production, which has an anti-obesity effect. Researchers have the anti-obesity properties of ginger root. Moreover, ginger and turmeric benefit by increasing the number of beneficial gut microbes.

Conclusion

More studies are warranted to study the impacts of spices and herbs on the gut microbiome and their health benefits on the host before their inclusion into dietary guidelines.

New Delhi (India), November 1: HealthRoots, a leader in bringing rare international herbs in the Indian market, has launched its two flagship herbal products to prevent headaches, increase endurance, and reduce tiredness and stress. The company stated that Migoherb, a highly purified version of the herb Butterburr, has been launched to prevent headaches, and the Siberian Plant Rhodiola herb 'Redrive Am' has been launched to prevent headaches, increase endurance, and reduce tiredness and stress. When environmental pollution is at its peak and medical science is rapidly growing, innovation and care are hand-in-hand. Necessities give rise to inventions, and crises give rise to opportunities, as happened with the Doctor who founded HealthRoots. ''I am a doctor by profession and also a patient of frequent severe migraine headaches,'' Healthroots' founder Dr.Singla explained. ''Extreme migraines were frustrating since there seemed to be no way to stop them. One day, though, an American physician suggested trying herbal medicine in an effort to put an end to these migraines. I took the prescribed medications with some trepidation, but they actually helped me get control of the migraine. Talking about it with my other close friends and family reinforced my interest in the natural realm. Consequently, a group of field experts conceptualised and brought the brand to life.'' Team Healthroots' incredible successes have been made possible by their persistent efforts and resolve to deliver the greatest outcomes while preserving environmental harmony. They thoroughly inspect each and every ingredient to ensure that a user receives everything required to solve their issue at prices that are competitive with those of competing drugs. They hope to treat many additional illnesses using Ayurvedic remedies eventually. Healthroots now offers a drug called Redrive Am, which is derived from the Rhodiola plant, at a time when stress is a major contributing reason to a variety of health problems. Their primary focus is on the treatment of conditions like migraine headaches, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and irritable bowel syndrome. Over the course of many years, the medical professionals at Healthroots have dedicated countless hours to learning everything they can about the efficacy of herbs in treating a wide range of chronic diseases. Several books were reviewed as part of their investigation into the best herbal formulas in use around the world and how to bring them to India.
