After more than 37,000 dengue cases, including 227 which resulted in death, across India, a grandma’s antidote for the virus seems to be getting scientific endorsement. A herbal concoction — juice of papaya leaf, common neem and hill neem — being given to dengue patients in government hospitals in Tamil Nadu has been found to have anti-viral properties. Tests conducted at the King Institute of Preventive Medicine found that the Siddha preparation brought down symptoms and speeded up the recovery of patients.

Scientists dropped the four strains of the dengue virus on the cell lines (drawn from the gut cells of dengue causing albopictus mosquito) and added the herbal preparation. Normally, the virus would have entered the cells. “After two days, we found the cell-lines were unaffected. The virus was neutralized by the herbal formulation. Further tests showed it blocked the virus from entering the cell. In cells where the virus had already entered, it prevented multiplication,” said King Institute director Dr P Gunasekaran.

All these Spices/herbs are being used daily in traditional Indian Food.

Herbs for Longevity.

Herbs for Long Life.

by Dr. Ram Mani Bhandari, Contributor to Ayurveda on Allthingshealing.com

The modern sciences are engaged in researching the products and formula for anti aging property. Based on recent scientific findings, one of the techniques of anti-aging, for both women and men, is herbal treatment. The total blueprint of herbal anti aging treatment  is in  Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine are called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. According to this system, the secret to productive anti aging is to maintain Vata, Pitta, and Kapha in perfect equilibrium. Rasayana is an exceptional ayurvedic anti aging treatment. This method involves two faculties namely, kutipravesika and vatatapika. Kutipravesika attributes itself to restricting the person being treated in a tiny shelter with just one small door. The system also requires small holes instead of windows.

In Ayurvedic herbal treatment, anti aging means principally keeping up a healthy body into herbal treatment and bringing down the operation of aging, degeneration and depreciation. The objective of herbal anti-aging treatment is to aim for a healthy aging mode, and to maintain both mind and body working at optimum level, so the treasures of old age can be relished with peace of mind and vitality.

Amla(Emblica Officinalis): Amla is the best Rasayana as mentioned in the  Charaka samhita. Amla is the magical herbs with the rich in Vitamin C. It is believed to have good rejuvenating power. The fruits of Amla  is used to make the Chyawanprash (Herbal tonic) and best Rasayana. So daily intake of Amla and its products is good anti aging property.

Ginger Family: The rhizomes of the ginger family contain an array of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients. Ginger contains essential oils and spicy substances such as gingerol, shogaol, zingerone and capsaicin, all of which increase peripheral blood flow. It reduce cellular inflammation for anti-aging skin care benefits.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizomes contain curcumin and its derivatives (curcuminoids) that are bright yellow in color. Their hydrogenated derivatives, tetrahydrocurcuminoids, are nearly colorless materials. All of them possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.

Galanga (Alpinia officinarum), also known as Galangal or Chinese ginger, contains essential oils, gingerols and a group of pungent substances, diarylheptanoids. Diarylheptanoids (and analogous phenyl alkyl ketones) possess excellent anti-arthritic properties due to their arrest of prostaglandin biosynthesis via inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase. Purified extracts of galanga, which are composed primarily of lower alkyl cinnamate esters, have UV absorbing, antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibiting properties.

Frankincense, Boswellia: Guggal (Boswellia serrata) has been used for centuries as an arthritis treatment. This biochemical mechanism provides a way to formulate skin anti-aging products via the incorporation of extracts or isolated pure compounds.

Clove Family: Clove oil and clove buds have applications as toothache and muscular pain remedies. A number of plants in this family, notably Syzygium aromaticum, Syzygium corynocarpum and Syzygium mallacense contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory constituents.

Vitis: The grape family is well known for its potent antioxidant constituents, especially procyanidins, found mostly in seeds, and resveratrol, concentrated in skins of red and black grapes. suggests their application for skin anti-aging benefits.

Trace Metals: About 30 elements are recognized as essential to life. Some are required in macroscopic amounts in essentially all forms of life: H, Na, K, Mg, Ca, C, N, O, P, S and Cl. The others occur in trace or ultra-trace quantities. Fe, Cu and Zn are at the top end of this “trace” scale. The modulation of these metalloenzymes by appropriate trace metal topical therapies can lead to new skin anti-aging ingredients and their formulation methodologies.

Rosemary: It contains some of the most promising active agents, including rosmarinic acid, and diterpenes ursolic acid, carnosic acid, carnosol, oleanolic acid, hinokiol and seco-hinokiol, rofficerone, and amyrenones, which, due to their reported strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and tyrosinase inhibiting properties.

Licorice: Glycyrrhiza glabra contains some very exciting active agents  Glycyrrhizin, glycyrrhetinic acid, glabrol, glabridins and various liquiritins are most interesting for skin care applications due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin color (melanin) reduction benefits.

Neem:
 Azadirachta indica has been recognized for its antibacterial, insecticidal, antimalarial, hypoglycemic, and would-healing benefits. Recent work has shown neem extracts to possess strong antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties.

Andrographis: Neoandrographolide, one of the principal diterpene lactones, isolated from a medicinal herb Andrographis paniculata actively inhibits suggests potential for skin anti-aging applications for both andrographolide and neoandrographolide.

Pomegranate: Punica granatum provides a wealth of wonderful antioxidant and free radical neutralizing ingredients, for example, ellagic acid, gallagic acid, punicalins, and punicalagins. All are suitable for anti-aging applications, although some are not commercially available.

Fears After Aloe Drink Is Laced With Ketamine.

In Health on July 19, 2010 at 21:11

Aloe Vera(Sotru kathazai)

Therapeutic use of Aloe Vera is disputed.This is used as home remedy in India.As far as I know from elders of our family-I am sixty now
it has to be used externally for skin ailments.
Other than this AyurVedic preparations use this for other ailments which includes taking this orally.
This is not correct.
Safe to use this as an external application

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloe_vera
Story:
Two women have been left seriously ill in hospital after drinking aloe vera juice contaminated with ketamine.

(Anyone who has bought the drink should take it to a police station
Police are investigating how the party drug came to be inside bottles of the Gayatri brand drink in shops in Leicester.)

One store’s shelves have been cleared of the stock and police are investigating whether it is being sold anywhere else in the city.
A 60-year-old woman, from Rushey Mead, collapsed soon after drinking the juice. She complained of a burning sensation in her throat.
Her daughter, who asked not to be named, told the Leicester Mercury: “I thought she was going to die. My dad was crying as the paramedics were trying to revive her. It was awful.
“She was basically in a vegetative state. They thought she might have bleeding on the brain. I thought ‘that’s it’.”
The family took the bottle of juice to the hospital with them.
Another woman was taken to hospital on Friday with similar symptoms. Her family took in the same brand of drink, which is when doctors raised the alarm.
If anyone has a bottle, don’t drink it, take it to a police station. If anyone has drunk the juice, they should seek medical advice.
Advice from the Health Protection Agency
The Health Protection Agency confirmed the drinks contained ketamine, which acts as an anaesthetic, and can cause serious damage.
A spokeswoman said: “If anyone has a bottle, don’t drink it, take it to a police station.
“If anyone has drunk the juice, they should seek medical advice.”
A spokeswoman for Leicestershire Police said: “Police are working with the Health Protection Agency to look into how the drinks, consumed by the two women, came to be potentially contaminated.
“Enquiries are in their early stages and police are keeping an open mind as to the circumstances of this incident.”
When contacted by Sky News Online, the makers of the drink, Gayatri Herbals, based in Maharashtra, India, said they have no idea how the drug got into the drink.
Marketing director Amlesh Karle said the product is only sold in India and is not exported overseas.
“It’s absolutely shocking. This has nothing to do with my company and my product. We have been making this product for 10 years and have never had a problem with it,” he said.
“There has been some mischief. Someone has bought it in India and taken it to the UK. We have no idea how the drug got in there.”
He said security seals are not used on the bottles, so customers would not know if they had been opened before and refilled with a different liquid.
The ingredients on the bottle are listed as pure aloe vera juice and citric acid.
The makers say the juice “is used to maintain and restore the balance of stomach acids”.
