Immunogrit: Building inner strength with herbal support
In today's world, where exposure to pollutants, changing seasons, and stress is constant, a strong immune system is crucial. Immunogrit is an Ayurvedic supplement designed to strengthen your natural defenses using powerful herbs.

Karnataka: Jagat Prakash Nadda, Pralhad Joshi attends KAHER's 15th convocation in Belagavi
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 3 (ANI): Union Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda on Tuesday said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the focus of India's national health policy is to develop a 'holistic health care system', which not only focuses curative part in health care but also emphasises on the preventive care, palliative care, rehabilitative care, geriatric care and promotional health care. Nadda was addressing the newly passed out students from several branches of healthcare education at 15th Convocation of KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research (KAHER), held at JNMC Campus in Belagavi, Karnataka. Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare and Chemical and Fertilisers, JP Nadda, attended the event as the Chief Guest and Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, was present as the Guest of Honour. On this occasion, Dr. Shailesh V. Shrikhande, Deputy Director of Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, was conferred with the honorary Degree of Doctor of Science to mark his exemplary contribution to the field of medical sciences. Dr. Prabhakar Kore, Chancellor of KAHER, presided over the event, and Dr. Nitin M. Gangane, Vice Chancellor, presented the University report. Nadda congratulated the students for their hard work and also to the parents, faculty members and the entire ecosystem of KLE for playing an important role in their success. The Minister advised these young medicos to be responsive to society's needs and also develop an understanding of the health policies of the country. The Minister referred the erstwhile health policy, which concentrated majorly on curative part of tertiary health care. 'Tertiary health care system is important, but we cannot ignore primary health care. Under the preventive care aspect, Modi government has established 1 Lakh 77 thousand Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, which are first point of contact for a patient. For promoting preventive healthcare, we have decided mass screening of every individual over the age of 30 years,' said the Health minister. The minister also expressed his happiness over seeing an integrated convocation ceremony, where students of various disciplines i.e. allopathy, homeopathy, nursing, dental, pharmacy, Ayurveda, Physiotherapy etc. were receiving their respective degrees and medals. 'For years, there has been a practise of working in silos. One branch didn't recognize others. It is PM Modi's vision that we should adapt an integrated approach. In AIIMS, Delhi, a Centre for Integrative Medicine and Research (CIMR) is result of this holistic approach,' Nadda said. He added, 'I am very delighted to see the integration here at this convocation, where students of allopathy, Ayurveda, Pharmacy etc. are getting their degrees at a single stage.' Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said that under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi and stewardship of Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda, India has taken a leap in medical education and health care.

Prez Murmu may open Gorakhpur Ayush varsity on June 30
Lucknow: The state's first Ayush university, coming up in Gorakhpur, is all set for its inauguration on June 30. If all goes as planned, President Droupadi Murmu will conduct the ceremony. She is also expected to attend the convocation ceremony of the first undergraduate (MBBS) batch at Gorakhpur AIIMS. Sharing this on Tuesday, an official spokesperson said, "The Ayush university will be Gorakhpur's fourth university and the first one where both the foundation stone laying and inauguration will be conducted by a President (Ram Nath Kovind on Aug 28, 2021)." Officials said that the university has come up at a cost of Rs 267.5 crore and is spread across over 52 acres in the Pipri, Bhathat area of Gorakhpur district. Stating that the university was one of the dream projects of chief minister Yogi Adityanath , officials said that over 95% of the construction work is complete. "The facility centre, vice chancellor's residence and various staff accommodations are fully ready, while only some finishing touches and final coat painting remain pending in the boys' and girls' hostels. The executing agency has been instructed to complete these within the next 10 days," they said. Mentioning that the Ayush university serves as an integrated regulatory body for Ayush disciplines — Ayurveda, Unani, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Yoga and Siddha — officials said that all govt and private Ayush colleges in the state are now regulated by this university. "Currently, around 100 Ayush educational institutions (Ayurveda, Homeopathy and Unani) in the state are affiliated with this university," they said. Since the inauguration of the Ayush OPD on Feb 15, 2023, more than 100,000 patients have benefited from consultations. The OPD sees an average of 300 patients daily for Ayurveda, Homeopathy and Unani consultations. Soon, the opening of the Ayush hospital will provide excellent facilities for treatment through Ayurveda, Unani, Yoga and Naturopathy. It is also serving as a core to boost health tourism and medicinal farming, creating employment opportunities. "The state could connect local villagers to various forms of employment. The fully operational university will pave the way for farmers' prosperity and job opportunities for youth by creating an ecosystem for medicinal farming and herb collection," they said, adding that CM Yogi may inspect the Ayush university on his next visit.

This common village plant leaves can neutralise snake venom in just 5 minutes; here's how
A remarkable discovery has been made in ancient medicine: a widespread weed in Indian villages could be the key to defying snake venom within the space of only five minutes. With snakebites resulting in thousands of fatalities throughout India every year, most notably during monsoon, this development has the potential to provide a life-saving, organic solution when every minute counts. With the world controlled by pharmaceuticals, this finding is a powerful reminder of the significance of ancient herbal medicine. While snakebites need immediate medical care, the Kakoda plant might prove to be a game-saver in first-response therapy, particularly in underdeveloped regions. The blending of ancient remedies with the power of modern science holds out new promise in emergency medicine, reminding that nature often knows the solution to some of our greatest health issues. Kakoda plant: An ayurvedic antidote for snake venom As per centuries-old Ayurvedic wisdom, there are certain indigenous plants that have antivenom content. The Kakoda plant, or also called Kankrol, Kantola, or Katral, is one such climbing vine found in rural villages everywhere. Used since time immemorial in traditional herbal remedies, this plant is now also emerging for its supposed capacity to neutralize venom. In contrast to current antivenom remedies involving hospitalization, the Kakoda plant potentially provides a natural, in-field remedy in emergency situations, particularly in regions where medical assistance is delayed or otherwise not available. Leaves and roots of the Kakoda plant are regarded as the most medicinally active. If a snakebite is caused, Ayurvedic healers recommend that fresh leaves be crushed into a paste and used locally over the site of the bite. It is said to retard the spread of the venom and start neutralizing its action immediately. The juice from the leaves can also be ingested to act as the body's internal immune system against the poison. Powder from the dried leaves and roots is also applied in traditional medicines to calm the intensity of the venom symptoms. Why snake sightings increase with the monsoon's arrival As the monsoon season rushes through India, it brings welcome relief from the summer heat. The damp and cool air, however, also forces snakes from their natural habitats into human dwellings in quest of shelter. These enhanced contacts result in a sharp rise in snakebite cases during this season. Snakes like to find shelter in dark, secluded places within homes, garages, or fields and thus are easily accidentally encountered. Although most are not venomous, even the bite from one of the few venomous species can be life-threatening unless treated immediately. Awareness and availability of proper first-aid protocols are therefore absolutely essential. Modern research validates Kakoda's antivenom properties Contemporary research vindicates this ancient remedy. Dr. Kuntal Das of Mallige College of Pharmacy has researched the bioactive components of the plant and has found the Kakoda root possesses antivenom activities. His research lends scientific substance to the use of the plant in traditional medicine for centuries. As reported, prompt use of the paste may start neutralizing venom as early as five minutes, although this should not be regarded as a substitute for medical treatment, particularly in the case of extreme envenomation. Nevertheless, it can be an invaluable first line of defense until the experts arrive. Aside from its medicinal properties, the Kakoda plant is also an overlooked superfood. Cultivated in hot and damp climates, its prickly fruit is traditionally consumed in native Indian foods. Furthermore, the plant was said to contain 50% more protein than some of the most popular vegetables, and thus a curative and healthy ingredient. This dual advantage of healing and sustenance is one of the reasons why the Kakoda plant has been deeply rooted in rural lives, even though its antivenom qualities are not well known.
