Healthy Skin with Ayurvedic Herbs

The skin is one such organ of our body that reflects the true condition of our health. Our entire body is sheathed in the largest sense organ which is transparent to any disturbance aggravating in our body. The liver is the seat of detoxification in our body and the healthy functioning of the liver is the secret behind flawless skin. Ayurveda endows Kalmegh and Triphala extracts in Livonia, one of the premium products of Branolia Chemical Works, to foster proper liver metabolism. Another product from the house of Branolia Chemical Works, Bellytone, is a tonic which improves digestion. Thus it can be rightfully said that a healthy outside starts from being healthy inside.

Ayurveda and Skin

Ayurveda asserts the concept of Doshas. It vividly describes that these are biological forces influencing our body’s constitution, our emotional state of mind and our spiritual overview. So it becomes pertinent that the doshas govern some of our external features as well, like the skin. Our body comprises the tridoshas, Vata (the influence of space and air), Pitta (influence of fire and water) and Kapha (influence of water and earth). People possessing the Vata constitution have dry and chapped skin. This skin type is subjected to dehydration. People having the Pitta constitution have more sensitive skin which is oily and prone to skin breakouts. The reddish tinge reflected on the face is also identified with Pitta skin. The Kapha constitution fosters a thick, moist skin that is resistant to the scorching heat.

Each skin type manifests a sophistication of its own and these skin textures require treatments that suit their characteristics as well. Ayurveda is well equipped with remedies that can address skin problems of every kind. Branolia Chemical Works does its duty of upholding the principles of Ayurveda.

A Relevant Connection between the Gut and the Skin

The proper functioning of the bowels is one of the underlying factors which determine the health of the skin. Acne, pimples, redness of the face are different manifestations of skin infection. The quality of food, whether it is nutritious or a crash diet determines our digestive mechanism. This dietary imbalance causes strained bowel movements that facilitate re-absorption of toxins into the blood through the large intestine. This can often cause the skin to break into pimples. Reduced production of essential digestive enzymes diminishes the absorption of fats and proteins from food. This leads to dry and dull skin, thus initiating eczema or psoriasis. However, Branolia Chemical Works takes upon itself the responsibility of establishing a healthy gut-skin relation by manufacturing two of its products, Bellytone, and Livonia. Bellytone enriched with Sonapata, Haritaki, Ajowan, and Teori enables good digestion. Liver metabolism, on the other hand, comes under Livonia’s domain, the Ayurvedic tonic endowed with Triphala and Kalmegh extracts which restore proper functioning of the liver.

Two herbs present in the products of Branolia Chemical Works that nourish the skin:

Amlaki

The Indian gooseberry acquires multifarious utility in the field of Ayurveda. Owing to the presence of Vitamin C and various anti-oxidants, it rejuvenates the skin making it more appealing to the eye. Hints of Amlaki extracts are present, along with Haritaki and Bibhitaki in Livonia, which is one of the exclusive products manufactured by Branolia Chemical Works, aimed at restoring proper digestion.

Ashwagandha

One of the ingredients of Branolia’s Honey Guard which is characterized by its anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties acts as a constraint to acne and pimples. The heavy concentration of antioxidants in Aswagandha shields the skin from free radicals thus fostering radiant skin.

Ayurveda’s nutrient-rich herbs have been long sought for by people and these herbs have built the foundation for a healthy metabolism. Ayurveda also furnishes emollient concoctions and its extensive range of edible herbs provides nourishment to the body which in turn augments our face value.

Ayurvedic Remedies for Diabetes

Leave a comment

Diabetic

Life does not always tilt the scales of fortune in our favour. Since man’s expectation knows no bounds, it is inevitable that he gets engulfed with anxiety and stress if things don’t turn up his way or maybe if he is too worked up. It is more often discerned that health problems crop up from a disturbed mind or the health issues may be hereditary. The mind can be put to ease in a number of ways, and Ayurveda advocates all possible remedies to diminish such common health issues. WHO1 has reported that the number of people suffering from diabetes has spiraled from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. These figures indicate that diabetes is emerging as a common health issue that needs to be addressed in the upcoming years.

What is diabetes?

It is a condition of increased blood sugar levels in the body. The glucose in our bloodstream is the main source of energy obtained from the disintegration of food materials. The pancreas secretes a hormone called Insulin, which stimulates the passage of glucose into our cells for processing energy. When the body becomes incapable of producing sufficient insulin or, is unable to use insulin properly, a substantial amount of unused glucose persists in the bloodstream, leading to Diabetes.

Types of Diabetes:

  • Diabetes Mellitus:  This chronic situation arises either due to insufficient production of insulin or due to unresponsive behavior of cells to the glucose level.
  • Diabetes Insipidus:  This happens to be a rare situation of diabetes where the kidneys are unable to maintain the balance of body fluids and expel an abnormally large volume of urine from the body, which happens to be insipid.

Ayurvedic herbs and spices that can cure Diabetes

Since time immemorial, man has always opted for herbal remedies to cure unforeseen health disorders and Ayurveda has been benevolent enough to place its uncountable remedies at our disposition. Even though Diabetes stands as a tough challenge to Ayurveda since there are no permanent cure for it but there are certain herbs that can maintain the blood sugar level in the body regressing the negative impacts of diabetes.

Tulsi(Ocimum tenuiflorum)

This shrub is commonly grown in Indian households owing to its religious significance and medicinal properties. Tulsi is said to have diverse uses, one of them being, regulating the blood sugar levels in the body. It assists in pancreatic beta-cell function and secretion of insulin. It also helps in the absorption of glucose by the muscle cells. Traces of tulsi extract are found in Branolia’s  Honey Guard and Bitocough along with other ingredients to ease sore throat and combat viral infections.

Amla

The efficacies of the Indian gooseberry cannot be equated with any other herb in accordance with its medicinal properties. Amla is known to enhance body resistance against numerous ailments, the common ones being cough, cold & flu. However, it is also used in treating pancreatitis, a condition exhibiting inflamed pancreas, in which the insulin-secreting cells are debilitated, thus aggravating the glucose content of blood. Amla also contains chromium which balances the carbohydrate metabolism of the body, thus keeping a steady level of glucose in the blood. Livonia, manufactured by Branolia Chemical Works includes Amla extracts along with Haritaki and Bibhitaki, which cater to problems related to the Liver.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is one of the aromatic spices that contribute to regulating the glucose content in the blood. It is unique in the sense that it counterfeits the effects of Insulin, increasing the uptake of glucose in the cells.

Cumin

Another regular spice used in the Indian kitchen is bestowed with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory  properties responsible for normalizing blood sugar levels in the body.

Aswagandha

Another plant to be mentioned which not only plays a major role in managing stress and anxiety but also acts as an insulin stimulant, thus keeping tabs on the glucose level in the bloodstream. This herb, mixed with honey, Tulsi, Sunth, Joshtimodhu are the key ingredients of Branolia’s Honey Guard, an authentic formulation that takes care of the body’s immune system.

Kalmegh

These leaves are far bitter in taste than neem and possess outstanding healing properties, one of them being, curbing the glucose content in the bloodstream. It also helps in restoring healthy metabolism of the liver. This is the reason, the composition of Kalmegh and Triphala is bottled and sold as Livonia, a product of Branolia Chemical Works.

Thus we have been successful in utilizing the bountiful gifts bestowed by Nature to us. The measured Ayurvedic concoctions are indeed a blessing to the common man. Man,for ages, has recognized the treasure trove of Ayurvedic remedies and used them for his personal benefits. Owing to this fact, it is justified that Ayurveda’s profuse resources were never eclipsed to the common eye neither will it ever be in the years to come.

The Ayurvedic Lifestyle: Long forgotten Dietary Habits

Leave a comment

There is a saying in Hindi quite popular among the masses “Aadmi Ke dil ka rasta uske pet se hi hokar jata hai… , the corresponding translation of the statement being that the way to a Man’s heart goes through his stomach”.  On a spiritual note, the stomach is the seat of processing reality. The vacuum in our stomach stirs our innermost sensations and feelings. Whenever the emptiness within begins to consume us, we devour food which satiates our need and hunger and gives us respite from our yearning. Healthy food habits are responsible for nurturing us, moulding our growth and development in a positive way. Ayurvedic lifestyle and food habits have always been a boon for the people, benefitting them in every step of life. However, the reality which surfaces itself is much gloomy. The galloping time has left  ancient Ayurvedic practices and food habits far behind, oblivious to the common man which otherwise would have been an extra advantage to us

Some of the food habits involving Ayurvedic practices which should be inculcated in our regular lifestyle:

Eating Seasonal Food

A monotonous food regime is not welcoming as it may not be enough to nurture our body. Bringing in variety in the choice of food during the different seasons of the year is an added advantage to our body’s nutrient cycle. Seasonal fruits are a necessity for healthy body growth. For instance, the consumption of curd, cucumber and bottle gourd should be imperative during the summer months bringing about a cool effect in the body. The heat aggravating foods such as ghee should be consumed during the winter months.

Discouraging Overeating or we should eat the right proportions

Recurrent meals should not be undertaken. Ayurveda insists that there should be a substantial length of time separating two consecutive meals. The spiraling rate of junk and processed food consumption intensifies toxic elements that need to be cleansed. Cultivating sattvik food habits in our daily lives facilitates the detoxification of our body. Livonia, an authentic formulation of Branolia Chemical Works proves to be a perfect Ayurvedic tonic expelling toxins from our body and revitalizing the functionalities of the pivotal digestive organ of our body, the Liver.

Slow-paced eating

It should be imperative to eat at a steady pace and directing all the concentration while chewing food. The morsel of food in our mouth should be chewed and ground well, providing sufficient surface area for the digestive enzymes in the mouth to act fast, so that the digestion speeds up after the food passes down. Bellytone is an ayurvedic tonic, manufactured by Branolia Chemical Works which aids digestion and stimulates a healthy metabolism.

Distracted eating is averse to health

Certain food habits can lead to adversities in health. Surfing phones, sifting the pages of the newspapers, tampering with other gadgets while eating will falter the relaying of signals to the brain and result in impeding the rate of enzyme secretion for digestive functioning.

Eating food using fingers

This particular food habit is accentuated in traditional lifestyles encouraged by Ayurveda. Involving fingers directly to make the morsel of food conveys a direct signal to the brain. This, in turn, stimulates the secretion of digestive enzymes enhancing digestion.

Sitting posture while having meals

This is another Ayurvedic practice that is still popular among the rustic folk, in India which is deemed beneficial for our body metabolism. Sitting in this posture is not only supposed to strengthen the muscles in the pelvic area, but also alleviate stress and anxiety, ensures tranquility to the mind on account of blood flow to the brain.

Drinking  water while standing should be avoided

The standing posture for eating food or drinking water is more often criticized for its negative health impacts. Drinking water up straight mounts unnecessary pressure on the kidneys. It also disturbs the equilibrium of the body fluids, amassing fluids in the joints inflicting arthritis.

Lukewarm water at the beginning of the day

An ayurvedic practice which people should adhere to is to drink lukewarm water and then to start rolling in the regular chores. Lukewarm water warms up the body, thus hastening metabolic activities and assists in shedding bodyweight.

These Ayurvedic practices should be cultivated in our daily lives for a harmonious and serene lifestyle. Branolia Chemical Works has maintained the pristine essence of Ayurveda in its authentic products. The formulated tonic like Bellytone has created a perpetual imprint on our lives and that is what makes a difference today.

NATIONAL AYURVEDA DAY

Leave a comment

It becomes a norm for every quintessential Indian to get tied to the phenomenal festivities offered by our culture, be it a small scale celebration or a festival celebrated with majesty. The dedication to participate in many festivities thrives on the heart of every Indian. The receding celebrations of Navratri, make way for the modest advances of the next session of festivities in a row, Dhanteras, Diwali and Bhai Dooj. Dhanteras assumed to be “the day of wealth” to be concise in one word, symbolizes abundance and replenishment of wealth in everyone’s lives. Another myth supporting the origin of this day is that as told in the Puranas ,Lord Dhanvantari, the God Of Ayurveda, had emerged from a Samudra Manthan and he held a Kalash of Amrit in one hand and the sacred text of Ayurveda in the other. This year( 2019) Dhanteras was held on the 25th of October. However, this calendar date also strikes a chord with us reminding that the Ministry of AYUSH, was commenced on the 9th of November, 2014. This Ministry was known as the Department of Indian System of Medicine and Homeopathy(ISM&H) and it had been formed in March 1995. Years later, it was renamed as AYUSH, the abbreviation for Ayurveda, Yoga, and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy, in November 2003. It specifically focused on broadening the scope of education and research in Ayurveda, Yoga, and Naturotherapy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy. Over the years, the Ministry has encouraged the favourable development and propagation of the AYUSH techniques in the current health care systems.

The Ministry of AYUSH had come forward with the decision on celebrating the National Ayurveda Day every year,on the same day which is observed as Dhanteras. This year the Ministry of AYUSH conducted the Fourth Ayurveda Day at Jaipur while the National Institute of Ayurveda (NIA) were the ones who hosted the event. The NIA held both the Dhanvantari Pujan and National Dhanwantari Ayurveda Awards-2019 which were two events on the National Ayurveda Day. Shri Om Birla, Speaker in the Lok Sabha graced the event as the Chief Guest while Shri Shiprad Yesson Naik, the Union Minister of AYUSH participated in the event. The event also observed 25 delegates of Mekong-Ganga Cooperation (MGC) who were active participants of the subsequent events on the 4th Ayurveda Day. Ayurveda, the ancient healing system which dates back to thousand years, originated in India. It has been rendered as one of the most meticulous and well-documented systems of medicines. Modern India inculcates the Ayurvedic way of living even to this day. Ayurveda aims at preventing diseases and promote a healthy state of living. The primary objectives of National Ayurveda Day are:

  1. Endeavouring to propagate Ayurveda into the mainstream
  2. To concentrate on the strengths and unique principles offered by Ayurveda
  3. Utilizing Ayurveda’s potentials as a cornerstone of reducing diseases and related morbidity and mortality.
  4. Exploration of Ayurveda’s potential, which plays an instrumental role in shaping national health policy and National Health programs.
  5. To create awareness amongst the young generation and to propagate Ayurvedic principles of healing within the society, in modern India.

The well-reputed Branolia Chemical Works has always upheld the principles of Ayurveda, over such a vast expanse of time and it still continues to do so. Ayurveda can always be addressed as a medical benefactor who has dissipated the arduous health miseries from the lives of people. Branolia Chemical Works has embraced the authenticities of Ayurveda through its products. Each of the products of Branolia Chemical Works, namely, Branolia, Branolia’s Kulerron, Branolia’s Honey Guard, Bitocough, Bellytone, and Livonia have alleviated people from their adverse health conditions and will continue to do so many more years down the line.

Nobel Prize Winners Study the Fluctuating Levels of Oxygen in the Blood: How can Ayurveda contribute to it?

Leave a comment

 

With every fleeting second, as one is delving deeper into the varied branches of science, so is he reaping the benefits of novel scientific developments, technological advancements and discoveries and these inventions are signals of mankind putting their best foot forward towards a generative and a productive future ahead. One such progressive step has been taken in the field of medicine and physiology, by three veteran scientists, William G. Kaelin, Gregg L. Semenza and Peter J. Ratcliffe who have received the highest accolade for their impressive discovery in the field of medicine and physiology, that is the Nobel Prize, for their authentic discovery of tracking the adaptation of cells in accordance with the changing levels of oxygen in the bloodstream.

Oxygen is an essential element that exists in nature in the purest form. It plays an important role in sustaining living organisms. The study conducted had highlighted the molecular mechanisms monitoring the activities of the genes, in accordance with the fluctuating levels of oxygen in the blood. However, these fluctuating levels of oxygen in blood, at times, may create a condition of low oxygen diffusion. Haemoglobin, which are proteins identified as oxygen carriers of the body, are unable to accommodate sufficient oxygen in them to be circulated all over the body, on account of low oxygen diffusion rates and this will hinder the oxygen supply to the tissues. These conditions induce Hypoxia, a condition exhibiting low oxygen content in the body tissues. This would lead to adverse changes in cellular metabolism as Hypoxia, debilitates the oxygen content in the cells, subsiding cellular metabolism and gene expression in the cells. Hypoxia is also responsible for various respiratory diseases, neural and heart disorders in the body. Hypoxia is one of the many causes inducing malignant tumors in the body. For an expanding mass of tumor, the demand for oxygen is much more than its supply. The deficit in the oxygen supply induces the tumor cells to grow distant from the vascular system, hindering the diffusion of oxygen and this situation culminates in a fatal hypoxic environment. However, this remarkable study on oxygen detecting mechanisms, lays down potential guidelines, for healing diseases resulting from a dearth in the oxygen supply to the tissues of the body, thus repressing the growth of tumors around the breast, colorectal areas and pancreas which later on aggravates into cancer. However, the ancient Indian healing system of Ayurveda has devised ways to counter the effect of Hypoxia. Withania Somnifera, commonly known as Aswagandha, identified by Ayurvedic experts, as one of the essential components of Ayurvedic concoctions, works wonders in replenishing oxygen content in the blood and eliminating Hypoxia. It escalates the growth of RBC’s(red blood cells) in the body and since RBC’s are responsible for carrying oxygen all over the system, it ensures the healthy functioning of the cardiorespiratory system. It assists in the regulation of aerobic respiration and the cardiorespiratory processes function actively, diminishing the risks of fatal cardiovascular diseases. Another contribution of Ayurveda is Kulerron, which is one of the products of Branolia Chemical Works. This Ayurvedic tonic proves beneficial, especially for enriching the haemoglobin content in the blood which are the carriers of oxygen. The multiplication of haemoglobin automatically facilitates the faster transportation of oxygen throughout the body, diminishing the risks of Hypoxia.

The beneficial properties defining Aswagandha have been infused in the products of Branolia Chemicals. Extracts of Aswagandha are infused in Branolia’s Kulerron, which is blood replenishing Ayurvedic tonic and also in Branolia’s Honey Guard which fights bronchial congestion as it has anti-oxidant properties. Thus Aswagandha exhibits its multi-purpose utilities and versatile applications in Ayurveda and Branolia Chemical’s, over the years has borrowed the essential properties of Ashwagandha to make their products worthwhile.

Branolia Blog

India, the holy land, has been always revered for her immense contribution to the world, in various spheres. She has always defined her perpetual relationship with the various elements of Mother Nature. Ayurveda defines one such explicable relation of ancient India with Mother Nature. Ayurveda is the system of medication which has been an integral part of India’s glorious past.

In the modern age, Ayurveda has imbibed technology, which is evident through technological developments in ayurvedic medicines as in today’s clockwork world; technology and digitalization have seized the limelight. In today’s world, every single aspect of our lives is governed by technology. It has taken its reigns over nature’s potentiality as well. With advanced technology and digitalization, Branolia Chemicals can easily upgrade their brand value. Some of Branolia Chemical’s popular products are Branolia, Branolia’s Kulerron, Branolia’s Honey Guard, Bitocough, Bellytone, and Livonia.

We see nowadays that, technology has created its impression on Ayurveda in the most unique way. Numerous software has been designed to provide specific guidelines for Ayurvedic doctors so that there is no diversion in the methodology of their treatments and it is carried out in a meticulous way. In the modern age, information technology plays a vital role in the propagation of Ayurveda. It incorporates clinical uses that add regular improvisations in the flow. Some of the technical innovations are:

  1. CAM- (Computerized Ayurvedic Medicare) Body Tuning is another form of the treatment in which the procedures of treatment are interconnected. Firstly, the data related to the physical conditions are indicated and relayed. Secondly, the data collected is comprehended so that it can be used to assess and effectively diagnose the problem. Originally, this software had been tested by Gujarat Ayurveda University in 1993 that had been developed by Dr. M.A. Shajahan.
  2. Prakes-It is another aspect of digitalization in Ayurveda. The body constitution (Prakrti) software and estimated by this digitalized system. This was designed by CIRA (Center for Research Advancement, Kerala). It focuses on the evaluation of the Prakrti.
  3. PILEX – Piles is a prominent problem faced by most people and there is no permanent solution to it as it is recurrent. Hence, technology has gifted the software PILEX which directs towards determination, effective diagnosis and facilitates treatment for a healthy future ahead.
  4. AYUSOFT- The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing had designed a software system, such that it facilitates the diagnosis of prevalent diseases. The system makes provisions for on-line learning sessions as well as constant up-gradation of the system.  This system enables the physician to devise an interactive session with the system in which he gives inputs regarding the patient’s current condition in the form of answers to questions designed by the system itself. The system suggests its own diagnosis for the patient’s illness thus advising and guiding the physician all the way through.
  5. RASEX- is another contribution of digitalization. It was designed by Government Ayurveda College, Trivandrum, CIRA and ER&DC, Trivandrum. This integrated technology brings out the correlation between pharmacological properties and therapeutic properties which acts as a valuable source of information.

Recent news doing the rounds is that  Nirog Street, an association aimed at bridging the gap between Ayurvedic practitioners and patients through integrated technology, which works in close coordination with the Ministry of AYUSH. They jointly organized the third edition of the Ojha Festival in association with CSIR-IIM Technology Business Incubator, to promote Ayurveda. The aim of the festival was to provide a podium to the ayurvedic experts and practitioners who were vocal about their thoughts and opinions about the connection between Ayurveda and technology.

The production unit of Branolia Chemicals Works is GMP certified. The production unit adheres to the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines for manufacturing, testing, and quality assurance in order to ensure that a drug product is safe for human consumption. Branolia Chemicals have consistently maintained the quality of all their products and has continually adopted new technology and manufacturing processes to keep in pace with the changing times.

Integrated technology and digitalization have indeed been a boon for our generation and Branolia Chemicals surely has an immense contribution to India’s glorious healing system. With the help of integrated technological up-gradations, the products of Branolia Chemicals will easily be able to attain their desired goals in the years to come.

Prof Aditi Sen (De): Daughter of Bengal Gets the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award

Leave a comment

It is rather rare for a women scientist to win India’s most prestigious science prize, the Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar award.  Since 1958, when the award was first given, only 16 of the 535 recipients have been women, and there had been none in the physical sciences. This however changed in 2019 when Prof Aditi Sen De, 44 yrs, from the Harish Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad was awarded the prize for her work in quantum information and computation.

Prof Sen works on quantum computing a rather esoteric area of physics which has the potential for far-reaching changes by making computers millions of times more efficient than anything available today. However, the problem is that no one has actually been able to build a quantum computer as yet.  Current computers work on a system of silicon transistors that store information as bits – either in the state of 0 or 1 – on a binary logic analogous to an on-off switch. On the other hand, quantum computers use qubits – a proton or an electron – that can exist as 0, 1 or any or any superposition of any possible combination of 0 and 1. However, there is a small problem which is stopping quantum computing to become a reality and awaits physicist and mathematicians to resolve it. Today’s physical quantum computers are very noisy and quantum error correction is required, but as on date, the optimal quantum mechanical state has yet to be achieved. Some of the finest brains in the world are working to resolve this issue and amongst them is Prof Sen.

Prof Sen did her class X from Sarada Ashrama Balika Vidyalaya, New Alipore, Kolkata and her class XII from Sakhawat Memorial Government Girls High School, Elgin, Kolkata. She completed her B.Sc from Bethune College and M.Sc in Mathematics from Raja Bazaar Science College. She obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Gdansk, Poland with a seminal thesis on ‘Manipulations of Quantum States and their Non-Classical Applications’.

She has held postdoctoral positions in University of Hannover, Germany and The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Spain. She started her career in academics at School of Physical Sciences, JNU before moving to the prestigious Harish Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad, which is home to some of India’s best Physicists including the celebrated Prof Ashoke Sen. Prof Aditi is married to Prof Ujjwal Sen an outstanding Physicist in his own right.

Branolia Chemical Works feels proud that this daughter of Bengal has got such an outstanding recognition for her work. Role models like Prof Aditi Sen will inspire many more girls to take up sciences and tackle some of the biggest scientific challenges faced by the world.

Branolia Chemical Works wishes Prof Aditi Sen all the success in the future endeavours and hope that Prof Sen leads India to the breakthrough that will make quantum computing a reality.

Research shows the positive effect of Brahmi on Alzheimer’s Disease

Leave a comment
Alzheimer

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurological disorder wherein brain cells die leading to dementia (loss of memory). This disease is currently irreversible and in acute cases, the individual is completely dependent on others to carry out even simple day to day tasks. In most people with Alzheimer’s, symptoms first appear in their mid-60s.

Alzheimer’s disease has become one of the leading causes of death across the world, especially in developed nations where it stands next to heart disease and cancer.

The current treatment regimes using Cholinesterase inhibitors and Memantine have modest outcomes. There is, therefore, a major push for finding preventing and curative solutions for combating Alzheimer’s.

Brahmi (Brokopa Moneri) has emerged as a promising candidate to help combat Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers from Department of Neurology, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and Department of Internal Medicine, BJMC, Pune, have synthesized the research on Brahmi in their paper published in Annals of Neurosciences, which is a pointer to the beneficial effect of Brahmi on Alzheimer’s disease patients. Here we summarize the main findings; the full text of the article can be read at (https://www.karger.com/Article/FullText/475900)

Various indications for use of Brahmi prescribed in Ayurvedic medicine include memory improvement and effective ameliorant for epilepsy and insomnia. In Brahmi’s efficacy against Alziemers, the following research results have been cited in the aforementioned paper:

  1. Studies have shown that Extract of Brahmi propagates free radical scavenger mechanisms and protects cells in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and striatum against cytotoxicity and DNA damage which are considered the main cause for Alzheimer’s disease.
  2.  It reduces lipoxygenase activity reducing lipid peroxidation, increases glutathione peroxidase and chelates iron.
  3. Administration of Extract of Brahmi was seen to protect the cholinergic neurons and reduce anticholinesterase activity comparable to donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine.
  4. Brahmi also reduces hippocampal β-amyloid deposition and stress-induced hippocampal damage. The neuroprotective effect of EBM is also due to nitric oxide-mediated cerebral vasodilation.
  5. Brahmi was found to improve the total memory score and maximum improvement was seen in logical memory and paired associate learning in humans.

Brahmi promises to be a high potential agent against Alzheimer’s disease and further research and clinical trials are done to prove to the medical community its efficacy and absence of any side effects.

Branolia Chemical Works manufactures Branolia, which has been an extremely popular brain tonic for over 90 years. The main active ingredient in Branolia is Brahmi. We at Branolia Chemical Works are extremely excited at the new research works which are bringing out many beneficial effects of Brahmi against some of the most difficult to cure neurological disorders. We at Branolia will keep following these breakthroughs and appraise to the general public about the same through our blog.
