On this occasion, Acharya Balkrishna said that this pioneering research not only upholds the scientific basis of Ayurveda internationally but also demonstrates the potential of thorough analysis of traditional medicine to provide solutions to some of the most intractable challenges facing modern medicine.
Cardiogrit Gold blends several natural constituents such as Yogendra Ras, Arjun, Moti Pishti, Akik Pishti, and others, which are all revered in old Ayurvedic books for their heart-friendly effects.

He further expressed that this achievement is a testament to the relentless dedication of Patanjali's scientists and represents the revival of India's timeless medical heritage, Ayurveda. As global interest in Ayurveda surges, Patanjali's research reinforces the importance of combining traditional wisdom with scientific validation.
This study not only revitalises Ayurveda but also highlights its potential to offer novel, holistic solutions for contemporary health challenges.
In this landmark research with the C. elegans model, Cardiogrit Gold was determined to enhance food consumption, enhance cardiac muscle vitality, and considerably suppress reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Encouragingly, these creatures displayed a considerable boost in body length and fertility, reflecting the systemic effects of the product. Cardiogrit Gold also sufficiently limited Doxorubicin buildup, further evidencing its capacity to counteract cardiotoxicity.
This seminal research has been released in the top-tiered Journal of Toxicology by Wiley Publications, a landmark achievement in integrative medicine.

Delhi govt appoints new Director General of Health Services
The Delhi government has appointed Dr Vatsala Agarwal as the new Director General of Health Services (DGHS), officials said on Monday. The appointment follows the voluntary retirement of Dr Rati Makkar, who had held the post for only about three months. Dr Vatsala Agarwal currently also serves as director of Janakpuri Super Speciality Hospital. An official order dated August 19, issued by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, read: 'The LG Delhi is pleased to order the posting/transfer of the officer (Dr Vatsala Agarwal) as the director of the health institution.' Dr Agarwal currently also serves as director of Janakpuri Super Speciality Hospital. When contacted for comments on her new role and additional responsibilities, including at the Delhi Medical Council (DMC), she did not respond. Dr Makkar was appointed DGHS in May this year and was also given additional charge of DMC registrar in June after the government dissolved the council. She opted for voluntary retirement earlier this month, citing personal reasons, according to officials familiar with the matter. The Delhi Medical Council (DMC) is a statutory body that regulates medical practice in the Capital. It was constituted under the Delhi Medical Council Act, 1997, which mandates the council to maintain a register of medical practitioners and oversee professional conduct. The DGHS, meanwhile, functions under the Department of Health and Family Welfare as the primary agency delivering healthcare services in the city. The DGHS does not directly govern the DMC but may be given interim roles in extraordinary circumstances. In late June 2025, Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena approved the government's proposal to dissolve the DMC over alleged irregularities and abuse of powers, including the unauthorised extension of the registrar's term. The Health Minister subsequently issued an order of dissolution and named the then DGHS, Dr Makkar, as interim registrar to oversee functioning. A reconstitution of the council was ordered within two months. Meanwhile, the Delhi government has also announced other appointments in the health and medical education sector. Officials said a new dean has been appointed at Maulana Azad Medical College. In addition, Dr Yogita Munjal has been named director of AYUSH, the department that oversees the promotion and development of traditional and alternative systems of medicine in Delhi, including Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy.

From US to Bengaluru: How a techie got her life back with mixed reality
Bengaluru: It is said that Bengaluru is where technology meets life. For Suprita AM, a 37-year-old IT professional working in the US, that line turned out to be literally true. Bedridden for months with quadriparesis — paralysis of all four limbs — she was told by American doctors that surgery on her skull-spine junction might leave her permanently weak, or even dependent on a ventilator support for breathing. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "I felt like I was losing balance constantly, even while walking at home," she recalled her situation in mid-2024. Her husband Kiran Amati said: "We were told a surgery could risk permanent paralysis, it was terrifying." Crushed and fearful, she packed her bags along with husband Kiran Amati and they flew to India, spent months seeking second opinions, and explored alternatives—homeopathy, Ayurveda, and posture correction—but nothing worked. In Bengaluru, she found something that Silicon Valley didn't give her: hope. Doctors at Aster Whitefield Hospital in the city diagnosed her with atlantoaxial dislocation — a rare instability at the top of the spine that was choking her spinal cord. Treatment was a major challenge as one slip near the brainstem could have spelled disaster. That was when medical specialists decided to ride high on Bengaluru's greatest strength: technology. A medical team, led by lead neurosurgeon Dr Satish Rudrappa and spine and deformity surgeon Dr Ramachandran G, pulled out mixed reality technology (augmented + virtual reality) headsets, turned Surpita's spine into a 3D hologram, rehearsed the operation like a flight simulator, and then went in for the real deal. "It was like walking around her spine before we even touched it. It helped us identify the exact position of the arteries to operate on," said Dr Ramachandran. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "Mixed reality (MR) enables us to anticipate problems or complications we might face on the operation table and to prepare for it." Dr Satish added: "Mixed reality also assisted the patient and her family to understand the medical condition as well. The innovative approach allowed for precise navigation and execution of surgery." Suprita's husband Kiran said: "They didn't just explain the surgery; they showed us exactly where the compression was and how they planned to correct it. That gave us the confidence we needed." The surgery went on for five hours, which included repositioning of displaced bones to achieve normal alignment. The next morning, Suprita was on her feet. Within 10 days, she walked back home. She has returned to the US. Currently, Suprita has started swimming, cycling and playing volleyball. "The only thing doctors told me is to avoid rollercoasters," she said.

Wharton professor calls out illusive ‘TikTok science': Says, ‘Beware of mistaking familiarity for fluency'
Synopsis Adam Grant cautions against relying on TikTok for science education, highlighting the risk of overconfidence from simplified content. He warns that brief soundbites create an illusion of understanding, potentially leading to flawed judgments. Grant emphasizes that true expertise requires in-depth study, not just familiarity with viral clips, urging a balance between accessibility and rigorous learning. iStock Adam Grant warns against overconfidence from TikTok science lessons. He says short videos cannot replace in-depth study. Simplified content makes people think they know more than they do. (Image: iStock) Scrolling through TikTok, Shorts or Instagram reels for quick science lessons may feel enlightening, but according to Wharton professor Adam Grant, it could be leaving people dangerously overconfident in their knowledge. Grant, a best-selling author and one of the world's most influential management thinkers, took to social media to warn against the rising trend of bite-sized science content. His message was clear: simplified soundbites cannot replace the depth of systematic study. 'TikTok science can leave you overconfident in your knowledge,' Grant wrote in his post. 'Simplifying complex ideas makes them more compelling, but also fosters an illusion of deep understanding. Beware of mistaking familiarity for fluency. Soundbites aren't substitutes for systematic study.'To back up his warning, Grant cited two academic papers: A new dimension of simplified science communication: the easiness effect of science popularization in animated video abstracts The seduction of easiness: How science depictions influence laypeople's reliance on their own evaluation of scientific information Both studies explore how people are more likely to trust their own judgment when presented with simplified scientific explanations, even if their actual expertise is limited. — AdamMGrant (@AdamMGrant) According to the paper The Seduction of Easiness , when participants were given scientific arguments that appeared simple, they felt more confident in evaluating the claims themselves and were less likely to defer to expert opinions. The researchers noted that this false sense of understanding could lead to misguided conclusions, especially in areas requiring nuanced knowledge. The findings highlight what Grant calls the 'illusion of fluency'—where being familiar with a concept through simplified content creates a false impression of mastery. As a renowned organizational psychologist and Wharton's top-rated professor for seven consecutive years, Adam Grant's voice carries weight beyond academia. His concern about oversimplified science is not just about TikTok. It reflects a larger cultural shift where quick consumption of knowledge, driven by social media platforms, risks replacing in-depth learning. Grant's caution serves as a reminder that true understanding requires more than viral clips or catchy infographics. While platforms like TikTok make science accessible, they can also blur the line between awareness and warning struck a chord with many online users, who echoed Grant's concerns. One commenter noted that reels and shorts often 'sensationalize complex topics in 30 seconds, which is an injustice to knowledge.' Others agreed that while TikTok may spark curiosity, true mastery requires patience, depth, and critical thinking. Several pointed out that the culture of bite-sized content has its advantages in accessibility, but it should never be mistaken for a substitute for rigorous study and debate. As one user summed it up, 'There's no replacement for deep studying, diving into sources, and examining both pros and cons.'
