Kulekhara: The Wonder Herb for Nutritional Security

2 Comments

Kulekhara herb is a missed opportunity for bringing in nutrition security to the poorest and the marginalized. Kulekhara grows in the wild in most parts of the country and is a very hardy plant. However, despite its easy availability and high nutritional value, Kulekhara remains unknown and unheralded to the majority of Indians despite its potential. It’s almost akin to relegating Einstein to teach mathematics in a primary school.

Kulekhara or, Hygrophila auriculata is known by local names; In Bengali, it is called kulekhara, In Sanskrit Ikshugandha, Kokilaksha and in Hindi Talimakhana. It is a spiny bush and is common throughout India. Though the whole plant has been used medicinally root & leaves are used more. Ayurveda texts cite its efficacy in skin diseases, dropsy, and sleeplessness. It is found useful against renal stones too. The plant is used as a demulcent, aphrodisiac, diuretic, urinary tonic and hepatoprotective substance. Its biggest claim to fame is using for increasing Haemoglobin in blood.

A.Gomes et al. (2001) studied the effect of ethanolic extract of Kulekhara leaves on male albino rats. The result of this study showed the significantly increased of hemoglobin, hematocrit, RBC and total WBC counts and the Total Iron Binding Capacity in male albino anemic rats.

Mukherjee and Dutta De (2017) in a seminal piece of work studied the mineral content in Kulekhara leaves. These results confirm Kulekhara’s pre-eminent position as high on nutrition levels.

When we compare Kulekhara with other more popular leafy herbs like spinach, Ipomoea, bottle gourd and amaranth leaf, Kulekhara emerges as a clear winner on many counts. A comparison of the mineral nutrient content of Kulekhara as compared to other herbs is given below:

Spinach is a household food item with many recipes based on Spinach being available. However, Kulekhara in many of the nutrient content is better than Spinach. For iron, copper and vitamin C, Kulekhara beats Spinach hands down. Unfortunately, Kulekhara has not achieved the required importance in the kitchen of Indian households to the extent Spinach has.

We at Branolia strongly believe that including Kulekhara in the midday meals of schools and Anganwadi (ICDS) centers across the country may be seriously considered. It grows everywhere, it is cheap and it is a great source of micronutrients, which is required for brain development in the growing years of children.

Branolia’s Kulerron packs the goodness of Kulekhara leaves and root, to bring to you not only micronutrients of the leaves but nutrients found in the Kulekhara root including alkaloid, Phytosterol, Potassium Salt of Oxalic Acid, Diastase, Protease and Essential Oil.

Kulerron is the only formulation available in the market which packs the richness of Kulekhara. We remain a committed soldier in the fight of the nation against iron and micronutrient deficiency.

Kolkata is the smoking capital of India

Leave a comment

Citizens from the City of Joy are literally going up in smoke.  With 49% puffing on a cigarette stick, Kolkata beats the national average of 43% hands down. Amongst the metros, it is much ahead of the second-ranked Mumbai, by a factor of 3-4 cigarettes/smoker/ day. Weekly spends on cigarettes averaged at Rs. 348 in Kolkata.

Apparently, the statutory warning on the cigarette packs is not having much impact.

Cigarette smoking has a symbolic connection with being intellectual, an anti-establishment, a thinker or an activist.

The wannabe Bengali intellectual subscribes to certain symbols including the cigarette which is their rite of passage to the rarefied echelons of thinkers in the city. This phenomenon which was pervasive in the seventies and the eighties marks of which are found present even today.

Found mostly at the iconic coffee house these aspirant intellectuals would carry a jhola (cloth bag) which has a dog-eared copy of Nitsche’s Genealogy of Morality or Foucault’s The Order of Things and of course Sukanto’s poetry book thrown in to give the impression of being grounded in Bengal and most importantly a Charminar cigarette perennially hanging from the mouth.

In addition with Bengali icons like Satyajit Ray, Uttam Kumar, Sunil Gangopadhyay and Anjan Dutta amongst others seen enjoying their smoke either on screen or in photographs, the reduction of cigarette smoking has a cultural bottleneck to cross.

In a survey conducted by ICICI-Lombard, 93% of the respondents in Kolkata reported they are aware of the carcinogenic hazard and alarmingly 94% of the respondents reported never having tried to ‘kick the habit’, with the main reason cited being addicted to cigarettes.

Another alarming trend is that nearly a third of Kolkata’s schoolchildren, aged between 15 and 18, have had their first smoke and are turning into regular smokers. Many of them had their opening puff as early as in Class V or VI. The phenomenon of girls taking up smoking in a big way is also a cause for public health concern.

While smoking apparently enjoying intellectual brand recognition in Kolkata, what seems to be forgotten is that the biggest intellectual icon of Bengal, Rabindranath Tagore, never smoked.

The Benefits of Triphala

1 Comment

Ayurveda or the ‘science of life’ is one of the oldest systems of healthcare in the world. Sometimes referred to as a bioscience, its chief aim is to cleanse the body of substances that cause disease, thus helping to restore harmony and balance. Primarily, Ayurveda focuses on addressing key foundations that pertain to health and disease—the body’s constitution (Prakriti) and natural forces (doshas).

All herbal formulations at Branolia Chemicals find their roots in classical Ayurvedic texts. A team of Ayurveda experts review these scholarly texts and shortlist suitable herbs for further research. The availability and sustainability of these herbs are first ensured before research is initiated.With an experience of more than a century; Branolia Chemicals has formulated an assortment of ayurvedic medicines to address health-related issues. The legacy of researching nature forms the foundation of all the operations at Branolia Chemicals. One of the most important of all herbs is Triphala, which has existed in the Ayurvedic cache for centuries.

The Sanskrit word for Triphala means three fruits, which signifies that Triphala is a combination of 3 fruits from three trees, Amalaki (Emblica Officinalis), Vibhitaki (Terminalia Bellirica), Haritaki (Terminalia Chebula), It is one of the most popular Ayurvedic herbal formula used in all Ayurvedic preparations. Triphala is the chief ingredient in Livonia an ayurvedic tonic from the house of Branolia Chemicals to enhance the functioning of the entire digestive system.

Triphala’s historical use as a digestive cleanser has been supported by various modern scientific studies. Research performed since ages suggest that Triphala may be antioxidant, antimutagenic, antineoplastic, chemoprotective, radioprotective, and chemopreventive, with a possible role in cancer prevention and treatment. (Source: Baliga MS. Triphala, the Ayurvedic formulation for treating and preventing cancer: a review. J Altern Complement Med. 2010;16(12):1301-1308. doi:10.1089/acm.2009.0633.)

General Benefits of Triphala

Triphala is used to treat all diseases like constipation, diarrhoea, and eyes cleansing or detoxing the colon, good for Kapha conditions, gas, diabetes, parasites.It gives a general sense of feeling pure, light & revitalized by

  • Removing toxins, accumulations, and gas
  • Nourishing the nervous system, blood & muscle
  • Improving Adrenal function in humans
  • Nourishing the bones and reproductive organs
  • Strengthening the overall immune system
  • Eliminating excess mucous from the body
  • Astringent properties
  • Reducing noise and stress-induced conditions
  • Laxative properties for keeping the colon clean
  • Improves the functioning of the liver.

The three fruits in Triphala are like the three musketeers each comes with its own benefits. Amlaki is a fruit rich in vitamin C that builds immunity and an effective antioxidant that removes harmful toxins from the body. Similarly, the other two herbs, a)  Vibhitaki with anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties and b) Haritaki that stimulates the functioning of the digestive system and sensory organs. Together they are a potent ingredient to fight stomach disorders.

Livonia has fortified the goodness of Triphala which helps in detoxifying the liver to significantly improve the overall digestive system.

The Benefits of Brahmi

Leave a comment

Ayurveda is exclusively an individualized system of medicine. The tradition of treatment in Ayurveda is rooted in the idea that each of us is born with a completely personal blueprint for optimum health. From birth onward, it is this reference point, the constitution of a human being, in many ways, defines who he is. No two constitutions are exactly alike; therefore, no two human beings can have precisely the same formula for the ideal health.

Ayurveda is, in fact, a holistic tradition that reaches out far beyond the realms of physical health, healing, and the prevention of disease. It has a remarkable capacity to help each of us correspond up with our inner nature, develop our strengths, sharpen in on our challenges, redirect disturbing tendencies, and offer real support wherever it is needed—so that every human being can better maintain balance in the face of adversity. At its root, Ayurveda is a way of life that can help each of us to lead a healthy life. In this process, Branolia Chemicals which started its operation in Kolkata in 1922 is committed to make easily available a bouquet of ayurvedic medicines.

The flagship product of Branolia Chemicals is Branolia, an ayurvedic tonic enriched with the goodness of Brahmi. This tonic helps in boosting the functionalities of the brain. The main ingredient in this tonic, Brahmi was also known as Bacopa monnieri, has been used in the Ayurvedic system of medicine for centuries.

Benefits of using Brahmi:

  •  Brahmi has been found to be very helpful in the treatment of anxiety neurosis and mental fatigue. It has been found to significantly improve IQ levels, general ability, and mental concentration in children. Brahmi used in Branolia is useful for improving mental clarity, confidence and memory. Branolia fortified with Brahmi has been used for centuries.
  • Brahmi is especially used for the treatment of epilepsy, insomnia, asthma and rheumatism.
  • Research has also shown that Brahmi possesses anticancer activity.
  • Brahmi is an effective antidote against diseases like bronchitis, asthma, hoarseness, arthritis, rheumatism, backache, constipation, hair loss, fevers, digestive problems etc.
  • In India, Brahmi which has a bitter flavour is used in salads, soups, as a cooked lea vegetable, or pickles.
  • Studies have shown that Brahmi has Antioxidant, Cardiotonic and Anticancer properties.
  • The plant, Bacopa monnieri, is also used for all sorts of skin problems- eczema, psoriasis, abscess, ulcerations- it is said to stimulate the growth of skin, hair and nails.

Branolia, embellished with Brahmi also contains satamuli, ashwagandha, Joshtimadhu which helps in revitalizing the entire body. Bacopa monnieri has a calming effect and is especially useful in addressing concerns related to anxiety, hyperactivity, and attention deficit disorders.Some other important uses of Brahmi as an important herb is :

  1. Anti-aging properties: Brahmi has an anti-anxiety property which helps in improving the cognitive functions of the brain.

Researchers Recommend Tulsi to Combat Lifestyle Related Chronic Diseases

Leave a comment

Applause for Tulsi(Ocimum sanctum Linn)  from the Ayurveda research community is becoming more and more pronounced with a number of journal papers attesting Tulsi’s ability to battle lifestyle disease resulting from physical, chemical, metabolic and psychological stress through a unique combination of pharmacological actions (1).

tulsi

Tulsi has been attested to protect organs and tissues against chemical stress from industrial pollutants and heavy metals. Lab results and trials show that Tulsi has protected against the toxic effects of industrial chemicals such as butylparaben,[2] carbon tetrachloride,[3] copper sulfate[4] and ethanol,[5] and common pesticides such as rogor,[6] chlorpyrifos[7], endosulfan[8] and lindane[9]. Tulsi has also been shown to protect against the toxic effects of many pharmaceuticals drugs including acetaminophen [10], meloxicam[11], paracetamol[12], haloperidol[13] and anti-tubercular drugs[14].

Tulsi is also credited with giving brightness to the complexion, mellifluousness to the voice and help foster stamina and a calm emotional disposition. In addition, tulsi is recommended as a treatment for a range of conditions including anxiety, cough, asthma, diarrhea, fever, dysentery, arthritis, eye diseases, otalgia, indigestion, hiccups, vomiting, gastric, cardiac and genitourinary disorders, back pain, skin diseases, ringworm, insect, snake and scorpion bites and malaria[15,16,17,18].

Tulsi helps in prevention of cancers caused by toxic compounds by reducing DNA damage[19] and inducing apoptosis in precancerous and cancerous cells, thereby reducing the growth of tumors[20,21].Tulsi also enables the enhancement in liver detoxification enzymes such as the cytochrome P450 enzymes, which deactivates toxic chemicals and enables them to be safely excreted[22].

Tulsi has radioprotective effects by cleaning free radicals and reducing the oxidative cellular and chromosomal damage brought about by radiation,[23,24,25,26] enabling reduction of organ damage and enhancing post-radiation survival in experimental animals[27,28,29].

Numerous animal experiments and human clinical trials have shown that tulsi has anti-diabetic activity. Tulsi can reduce blood glucose, correct abnormal lipid profiles[30,31] and protect the liver and kidneys from the metabolic damage caused by high glucose levels[32]. Tulsi has also been shown to improve lipid profiles[33,34], prevent weight gain, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and insulin resistance[35,36], and protect the organs and blood vessels from atherosclerosis[32,37] in laboratory animals fed high-fat diets. Similarly, in human clinical trials, tulsi has shown to decrease glucose levels, improve blood pressure and lipid profiles[38,39,40] and reduce many diabetic symptoms in patients with type 2 diabetes.[41]

There are many more benefits from Tulsi which scientific studies have verified which we will be discussed in subsequent Branolia Chemicals blog posts.

At Branolia Chemical Works we stand by Tulsi and it is used extensively in all our Ayurvedic formulations may that be Bitocough , Branolia, Honey Guard, Kulleron and Livonia. We at Branolia prefer the black/purple variety of Tusli in our ayurvedic formulas. This is done since the black/purple tulsi has high content of phenolic compounds and anti-oxidant properties compared to the green/white vana tulsi(42).

How Bellytone Can Ease Your Pain

Leave a comment

Ayurveda believes that human beings are all a part of nature. Just as animals and plants are interdependent on each other to create balance within their beings, there is an inherent connection between the universe and human beings. Unlike the animal kingdom, human beings live in a more complex, natural world where they are continuously exposed to environmental changes. Any kind of change in weather, society, economy, lifestyle, diet, work, financial status, emotions, and relationships can easily tip the balance and negatively influence an individual’s state of mind, body, and soul. With the increase in pollution and lifestyle changes, human beings have become more prone to diseases. Ayurveda tends to balance out all the elements present in a human body to enhance overall well-being.

Branolia Chemicals with a legacy of over ninety years constantly endeavors to bring together a potpourri of ayurvedic medicines to help humans adjust to the changing environments.

Millions of people around the globe suffer from indigestion and constipation. In ayurvedic language, indigestion is called ‘Agnimandya’. Indigestion is also a root cause of various other diseases like constipation. Keeping the stomach clean is essential for the proper functioning of the digestive system. Malfunctioning of the digestive system may lead to various other ailments. Bellytone from the house of Branolia Chemicals is formulated to fight problems related to indigestion and constipation.

Bellytone is prepared after extensive research and the key ingredients are Haritaki, Sonapata Teori, and Ajowan. In Ayurveda, Haritaki (Terminalia Chebula) is considered as a wonder herb.Haritaki is also one of the prime ingredients in Triphala. Haritaki has great nutritional values as it contains essential vitamins, calcium, and proteins. Some of the key benefits of Haritaki are:

  1. Reduction in constipation
  2. Smooth functioning of the digestive system
  3. Helps in improving the nervous system

The other important herb in Bellytone is Sonapata or Oroxylum indicum. This herbal plant is known to possess anti-inflammatory, diuretic, antifungal and antibacterial properties. The roots of this plant are used to fight diarrhea and dysentery. However, the seeds of this plant are an extremely effective remedy for constipation.

At Branolia Chemicals, research is given a priority. Indeed, it is this emphasis on Research &Development that allows Branolia to produce safe, efficacious and consistent remedies using ayurvedic principles.
