Scientists at Patanjali claim to have made significant advancements in the treatment of osteoarthritis or arthritis, a condition characterised by joint pain. This recent research on Ayurvedic medicine, Orthogrit, has been published in the International Research Journal Pharmacological Research – Reports by Elsevier publication. This study demonstrates that Orthogrit effectively reduces inflammation caused by arthritis, prevents cartilage deterioration and helps maintain joint functionality.
Acharya Balkrishna said that today it is rare to find an elderly person who does not experience knee pain. Current medical treatments typically address only the symptoms rather than the underlying causes while Ayurveda identifies the root cause of diseases and offers practical solutions. Orthogrit represents a blend of Ayurvedic principles and modern science, with the potential to fundamentally eliminate even diseases considered incurable, such as arthritis. Orthogrit is made from herbs which have been recognised for their benefits in reducing joint pain and swelling since ancient times in Sanatan Dharma, he added.
Senior scientist at Patanjali Research Foundation Dr Anurag Varshney highlighted that arthritis is a chronic disease affecting millions of people worldwide. The research showed that Orthogrit is effective not only in reducing the symptoms of arthritis but also in preventing disease progression.
