Antioxidant & free radicals: There is extensive evidence to implicate free radicals in the development of degenerative disease. It is suggested that free radical damage to cells leads to the pathological changes associated with aging. Radical reactions are also important in the development of chronic diseases that are life-limiting like cancers, hypertension and cardiac infarction, atherosclerosis, rheumatism, and also in cataracts.

Free radical-induced oxidative stress, involves preventive mechanisms, repair mechanisms, physical defenses, and antioxidant defenses. It is commonly recognized that antioxidant radicals can neutralize potentially harmful reactive free radicals in the body cells before they cause lipid and protein oxidation and may reduce potential mutation and therefore, help prevent cancer or heart disease. It has been proved in a recent study that Borrelia hispida (botanical name of Madanagandhi) contains a high amount of flavonoids.

Anti Aging Properties – Supplemented with good food, regular exercise & regulated breathing practices, the Madanagandhi Tisanes can aid in the process of anti-aging. The benefits of this blend is best enjoyed when it is consumed at an early age. Upon regular consumption, one may see tangible results during later stages of life. Particularly relevant to skin-related concerns, the Madhanaganthi blend offers itself as an elixir to healthy skin.

Anti Microbial activity: It is proved in one of the studies that Borrelia hispida will work against the microbials like Bacillus subtilis, E.coli, Candida albicans, and Aspergillus niger.

Reduce Cholesterol: In the recent study it has been proved that Beta-Sitosterol inhibits cholesterol absorption in the intestine. Because the structure of Beta-Sitosterol is very similar to that of cholesterol, Beta-sitosterol takes the place of dietary and biliary cholesterol in micelles produced in the intestinal lumen. This causes less cholesterol absorption in the body.

Bone disease and fracture: It is recently found that Madanagandhi contains calcium and phosphorus in abundance hence administration of this herb in the form of decoction is recommended in conditions like bone disease, fracture etc,

Hyperlipidaemic Activity: In the animal study it showed a significant decrease in the level of cholesterol, phospholipids, triglycerides, LDL, and VLDL, and significant increase in the level of HDL in the serum and liver tissues against triton induced hyperlipidemia in rats. Therefore, it effectively suppressed the triton-induced hyperlipidemia in rats, suggesting the potential protective role in coronary heart disease.

Obesity: Ancient texts have recognized obesity as “Adi Stula-Rogam” and specifically mentioned the difficulty in treating obesity since failure in self-restraint and discipline with respect to food habits and exercise are common. They are usually the main contributing factors in obesity, though other causes like heredity and hormonal disturbances may also be responsible. The overweight problem is due to an actual increase in the fat component (Meda Dhatu), or it can be due to malfunctioning. These, accordingly, will need different approaches. In very few cases, it can be an offshoot of other metabolic disorders.

A strong Madanagandhi tisane (3gm-5gm used decoction) without sugar in the morning hours may reduce obesity. It is also taken into consideration that there should be a strong control over food habits & exercise is mandatory, if you really want to reduce weight. Without self-control, obesity can’t be controlled.
