    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 toattain 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!

    GugguluLatin name:Commiphora wightii/Commiphora

    mukul/Balsamodendron mukul

    English name:Indian Bdellium

    Commiphora wightii, a small tree or shrub

    with spinescent branches, grows commonlyin 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 wightiiresin, possesses antidiabetic and

    hypolipidemic activities.1Results 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 wightiipossesses antioxidant and

    cholesterol-lowering properties that are

    beneficial against atherogenesis.3

    Garcinia indica, an ornamental tree with dense

    canopy of green leaves and red-tinged, tender,emerging leaves, has culinary, pharmaceutical,

    and industrial uses. G indicais 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 andto 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.2This

    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

    0nil, 1mild, 2moderate, and 3severe.

    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

    !Association Between Depression

    and Diabetes

    Television Viewing and Risk ofLifestyle Disorders

    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

    theJournal of the American Medical Associationshowed

    that prolonged TV viewing was associated with increased

    risk of type 2 diabetes, CVD, and all-cause mortality.

    Results showed that although the associations betweentime 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 worksin both directions, according to a report

    published in the recent issue ofArchives of

    Internal Medicine.

    Approximately, 23.5 million adults in the

    United Statesmore 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 diabetesdepression 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 hada further increased risk53% 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, andlifestyle 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.Extracted from: www.jamamedia.org

    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, Its me, talking to the wine.

    Its 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 dont know, Ill 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, Its because Ive got smarts.

    Whats 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 Ralphs hand, Ralphmoves his hand and Harry hits the tree, hurting his

    hand.

    Ralph says, I knew to pull my hand away, thats

    called having smarts.

    Harry goes back in the ditch and Jake asks, What did

    he say?

    Ralph says, its because he has smarts.

    Whats 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 wont

    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 towns 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 hewas.

    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 thats your pa.

    A pipe burst in a doctors 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 dont evenmake 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 conditionis that you cannot wish for more

    wishes.

    Alright, said the man, I wish for

    more genies.
