India’sAyushandHerbalExportsShowExponentialGrowthThe Indian Ayush (Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) and herbal industry have grown by leaps and bounds during the last few years, with the export of these products taking a jump from R 617.87 crore during 2005–2006 to R 1335.01 crore during 2009–2010.

According to experts, one of the major reasons for this export growth is the fact that several countries across the world have started looking toward the Indian traditional products for treating various ailments and chronic diseases. They have identified the importance of natural healing with Ayush products on par with allopathic medicines. According to the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCIS) and Pharmexcil, the exports of Ayush products alone have increased to R 764.25 crore during 2009–2010 from R 311.57 crore in 2005–2006.

Among the top 10 destinations of India’s herbal products, United States leads the list. United States has imported herbal products worth R 202 crore every year since 2007–2008. Japan, Germany, Ireland, United Kingdom, Australia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Bangladesh, and Pakistan are the other important

importers of herbal products from India with an aggregate income of R 367.06 crore for the nation. According to a 2009 report from Pharmexcil, Canada tops the list of top 10 exporters of medicinal herbs with a gain of US$ 224.73 million. China holds the second place with US$ 193.33 million and India in the third place with export gains of US$ 105.91 million.

Dear students,

Herbal medicines are becoming an increasingly common form of complementary medicine, worldwide. According to industry experts, the herbal market is growing at an annual rate of approximately 20%. The World Health Organization estimates that the present demand for medicinal plants is approximately US$ 14 billion annually and is expected to attain US$ 5 trillion by 2050.

The growing demand could be, to a certain extent, due to increasing incidence of lifestyle disorders and inclination toward a safer and natural system of medicine for managing these disorders. This issue of Infoline discusses about some of the common dreadful lifestyle disorders such as obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes, which have become the leading causes of death in the recent times. Some of the herbs effective in the management of hyperlipidemia and obesity are highlighted in the Herbal infoline section.

I am certain that the increasing global demand for herbal medicines/products combined with ever growing recognition of Ayurveda, worldwide, will create abundant opportunities in multiple arenas for each one of you to showcase your knowledge and professional skill sets.

Happy reading!

ine Guggulu (Commiphora wightii)

GugguluLatinname: Commiphora wightii/Commiphora mukul/Balsamodendron mukul

Englishname: Indian Bdellium

Commiphora wightii, a small tree or shrub with spinescent branches, grows commonly in northern India and is also found from northern Africa to central Asia. The ash-colored bark comes off in rough flakes exposing the underbark that also peels off in thin papery rolls. Its gum resin is used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to treat inflammation, obesity, and lipid disorders.

In an experimental study, it was observed that guggulsterone, a compound isolated from C wightii resin, possesses antidiabetic and hypolipidemic activities.1 Results of a review study of clinical trials showed a significant decrease in total and LDL cholesterol after treatment with C wightii.2

Several other studies have demonstrated that C wightii possesses antioxidant and cholesterol-lowering properties that are beneficial against atherogenesis.3

VrikshamlaLatinname: Garcinia indica

Englishname: Garcinia

Garcinia indica, an ornamental tree with dense canopy of green leaves and red-tinged, tender, emerging leaves, has culinary, pharmaceutical, and industrial uses. G indica is grown in the western coast of Western Ghats region of India.

G indica, commonly known as Kokum, has been used in traditional systems of medicine for the treatment of flatulence, heat strokes, and infections. In Ayurveda, the infusion of Garcinia fruit is being used for the treatment of skin ailments such as allergic rashes, burns, scalds, and chaffed skin; dysentery; mucous diarrhea; bleeding piles; and heart diseases and to relieve sunstroke. Garcinia is also useful as an appetizer, liver tonic, and cardiotonic.1

Hydroxycitric acid extract from Garcinia has been shown to increase serotonin availability, reduce appetite, increase fat oxidation, improve blood lipid levels, reduce body weight, and modulate a number of obesity regulatory genes without affecting the mitochondrial and nuclear proteins required for normal biochemical and physiological functions.2 This indicates the efficacy of Garcinia in the management of obesity.

EvaluationoftheRoleofOxitardCapsulesintheTreatmentofOralSubmucousFibrosisAn open clinical study was conducted to evaluate the role of Oxitard capsules in the treatment of oral submucous fibrosis. This study comprised 48 patients with chronic oral mucosal fibrosis lesions. Oxitard was given to all patients at a dosage of 2 capsules twice daily for a period of 3 months. All patients were evaluated at monthly intervals, for a period of 3 months, for parameters such as difficulty in opening mouth, hyperkeratosis, pain, and lesion size. All parameters were evaluated by a random score as 0–nil, 1–mild, 2–moderate, and 3–severe.

Results of the study showed that there was a significant reduction in the degree of difficulty in opening mouth, pain over the lesion, and hyperkeratosis. There was mild decrease in the size of lesion. This study indicated that Oxitard capsules used in cases of oral submucous fibrosis showed statistically significant improvement in symptoms such as difficulty in opening mouth, pain in the mouth, and hyperkeratosis. Oxitard was found to be safe and well-tolerated at the dosage administered to the patients.

DIABETES

!AssociationBetweenDepressionandDiabetes

TelevisionViewingandRiskofLifestyleDisorders

Prolonged television (TV) viewing is the most prevalent and pervasive sedentary behavior in industrialized countries and has been associated with morbidity and mortality. Results of a recent meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that prolonged TV viewing was associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, CVD, and all-cause mortality. Results showed that although the associations between time spent viewing TV and risk of type 2 diabetes and CVD were linear, the risk of all-cause mortality appeared to increase with TV viewing duration of greater than 3 hours per day. The estimated absolute risk differences every 2 hours of TV viewing per day were 176 cases of type 2 diabetes per 100,000 individuals per year, 38 cases of fatal CVD per 100,000 individuals per year, and 104 deaths for all-cause mortality per 100,000 individuals per year.

Source: JAMA. 2011;305(23):2448-2455.

Diabetes appears to be associated with the risk of depression and vice versa, suggesting the relationship between the two works in both directions, according to a report published in the recent issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.

Approximately, 23.5 million adults in the United States—more than 10%—have diabetes, including 23% of those aged 60 years and older. Major depressive disorder affects about 14.8 million adults in the United States every year. The study states that although it has been hypothesized that the diabetes–depression relation is bidirectional, few studies have addressed this hypothesis in a prospective setting.

An Pan and colleagues assessed the relationship between the two disorders among 65,381 women aged 50 to 75 years in 1996. Participants completed an initial questionnaire about their medical history and health practices and then follow-up questionnaires every 2 years through 2006.

During the 10-year follow-up, 2844 women were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and 7415 developed depression. Women with depression were about 17% more likely to develop diabetes after controlling for other risk factors, such as physical activity and body mass index (BMI). Those who were taking antidepressants had a 25% higher risk of developing diabetes than those who did not have depression.

After controlling for other risk factors for mood disorders, women with diabetes were 29% more likely to develop depression. Women who took insulin for diabetes had a further increased risk—53% higher than women without diabetes.

These findings add to the growing evidence that depression and diabetes are closely related to each other, and this reciprocal association also depends on the severity or treatment of each condition. Authors noted

that all the associations were independent of sociodemographic, diet, and lifestyle factors.

The results indicate that lifestyle factors such as physical activity and BMI may partially mediate the association between depression and new cases of diabetes, but since the association remained significant after adjusting for these factors, depression may have an effect on risk for diabetes beyond weight and inactivity. In addition, the findings reinforce the idea that diabetes is related to stress. A diagnosis of diabetes may lead to the symptoms of depression for the following reasons: Depression may result from the biochemical changes directly caused by diabetes or its treatment, or from the stresses and strains associated with living with diabetes and its often debilitating consequences.

Depression and diabetes are highly prevalent in the middle-aged and elderly population, particularly in women. Thus, proper lifestyle interventions including adequate weight management and regular physical activity are recommended to lower the risk of both conditions.

A couple is sitting on the porch sipping wine. The wife says, “I love you.” The husband says, “Is that you or the wine talking?” The wife replies, “It’s me, talking to the wine.”

It’s a hot summer day and Jake and Harry are in a ditch digging away. Meanwhile, Ralph is up under the shade of a tree sipping on a cool drink.

Jake asks Harry, “Why are we down here digging in the hot sun while Ralph is being cool up there?”

Harry says, “I don’t know, I’ll go ask him.”

Harry goes up and asks Ralph, “Why are you up here in the shade drinking a cool drink and Jake and I are in the ditch digging in the hot sun?”

Ralph says, “It’s because I’ve got smarts.”

“What’s that?” asks Harry. Ralph puts his hand in front of the tree and says, “Hit my hand as hard as you can.” Harry swings his fist at Ralph’s hand, Ralph moves his hand and Harry hits the tree, hurting his hand.

Ralph says, “I knew to pull my hand away, that’s called having smarts.”

Harry goes back in the ditch and Jake asks, “What did he say?”

“Ralph says, it’s because he has smarts.”

“What’s that?” asks Jake. Harry puts his hand in front of his face and says, “Hit my hand!”

A guy tells his psychiatrist, “I always have this weird dream at night. I am locked in a room with a door on which there is a sign. I try to push it with all my strength, but no matter how hard I try, it won’t budge.”

The psychiatrist muses, “Interesting. But tell me what does the sign on the door say?”

The guy replies, “It says ‘Pull’!!!”

The old man had died. A wonderful funeral was in progress and the town’s preacher talked at length of the good traits of the deceased, “What an honest man he was, and what a loving husband and kind father he was.”

Finally, the widow leaned over and whispered to one of her children, “Go up there and take a look in the coffin and see if that’s your pa.”

A pipe burst in a doctor’s house. He called a plumber.

The plumber arrived, unpacked his tools, did mysterious plumber-type things for a while, and handed the doctor a bill for R 2000.

The doctor exclaimed, “This is ridiculous! I don’t even make that much as a doctor!”

The plumber quietly answered, “Neither did I when I was a doctor.”

A man was on a beach when he discovered an old lamp in the sand. He rubbed it and a genie popped out.

The genie said, “I will grant you three wishes. The only condition is that you cannot wish for more wishes.”
