Patanjali has claimed success in treating arthritis with an Ayurvedic medicine called Orthogrit. Orthogrit is effective in reducing inflammation, preventing cartilage wear, and maintaining joint functionality.

Patanjali Research Institute claims that the company has achieved a significant breakthrough in the treatment of joint pain and arthritis. The company has said that the institute's Ayurveda-based medicine Orthogrit has shown remarkable effectiveness in the treatment of arthritis. This research has been published in the prestigious international journal Pharmacological Research - Reports of Elsevier Publications, which reflects Patanjali's scientific approach and the power of Ayurveda.

The company claims, "This study shows that OrthoGrit is effective in reducing inflammation caused by arthritis, preventing cartilage wear and maintaining joint function."

Orthogrit - A unique confluence of Ayurveda and modern science - Acharya Balkrishna

Acharya Balkrishna, head of Patanjali Yogpeeth, said, "Knee pain and arthritis are a common problem among the elderly in today's times. Modern medical practices only suppress the symptoms, but Ayurveda targets the root cause of the disease. Orthogrit is a unique amalgamation of Ayurveda and modern science, which has the potential to eradicate a complex disease like arthritis from its roots."

Patanjali claims that Orthogrit contains natural herbs like Vacha, Motha, Daruhaldi, Pipalmool, Ashwagandha, Nirgundi and Punarnava, which have been found to be effective in treating joint pain and inflammation in ancient Ayurvedic texts.

Diseases like arthritis affect millions of people- Scientists

Dr. Anurag Varshney, Senior Scientist, Patanjali Research Institute, said that arthritis is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. In this research, 3D Spheroids of human cartilage cells and C. elegans (a model organism) were studied. The study found that OrthoGrit protected human cartilage cells from the harmful effects of inflammation, reduced Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), and reduced the levels of inflammation-related markers such as IL-6, PEG-2, and IL-1β.

Additionally, it was successful in controlling the expression of genes such as JAK2, COX2, MMP1, MMP3, and ADAMTS-4. In a study conducted on C. elegans, orthogrit increased the lifespan of these organisms, improved their mobility, and controlled the expression of inflammation-related genes such as PMK-1, SEK-1, and CED-3.

Patanjali said, "This research proves that Orthogrit not only reduces the symptoms of arthritis but is also effective in preventing the progression of the disease. This achievement builds a bridge between Ayurveda and modern science, bringing new hope to people suffering from arthritis. This research of Patanjali further strengthens the scientific recognition of Ayurveda not only in India but in the world.
