Patanjali's Orthogrit May Help Control Arthritis, Claims Research Published in International Journal
Arthritis, once seen as a disease of old age, is now affecting younger people too. But new hope is emerging from the world of Ayurveda. A recent scientific study claims that Patanjali's Ayurvedic medicine 'Orthogrit' can help control arthritis by targeting the root causes of joint damage and inflammation.
This research has been published in the international journal Pharmacological Research Reports
Patanjali's Acharya Balkrishna emphasized that most elderly individuals today suffer from knee or joint pain. He pointed out that modern medicine often only manages symptoms, while Ayurveda focuses on eliminating the root cause
“Orthogrit is a powerful fusion of traditional Ayurvedic wisdom and modern scientific validation. It provides a ray of hope for managing diseases like arthritis that were once considered incurable,” he said.
What Is Orthogrit Made From?Orthogrit is formulated using natural herbs known for their anti-inflammatory and joint-supporting properties. These include:
-
Ashwagandha
-
Punarnava
-
Vacha
-
Nirgundi
-
Daruhaldi
-
Pippalmool
-
Motha
These herbs have been used in Indian traditional medicine for centuries to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and support joint health.
What Did the Research Find?According to Dr. Anurag Varshney, senior scientist at Patanjali Research Institute, the study tested Orthogrit on 3D spheroids of human cartilage cells and C. elegans (a model organism used in biomedical research).
Key findings from the research:
-
Reduced inflammatory markers such as IL-6, PEG-2, and IL-1β
-
Lowered Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) levels
-
Improved expression of joint-health-related genes like JAK2, COX2, MMP1, MMP3, and ADAMTS-4
-
Prevented further cartilage degeneration
What sets Orthogrit apart, according to the researchers, is its dual benefit. It not only reduces joint pain and swelling but also works at a deeper level to prevent the progression of arthritis.
The study concludes that this herbal formula could offer a safer, long-term alternative or complementary therapy for arthritis sufferers worldwide.
