[Guest guest]

Dear Miss Kari

 

Thanking you for your immense find My Friend

 

Looks like we all need to go and search the Science Tribune for contact

information for this team of scientists

 

Miss Neeta has told me that Home Office in Maharashtra has moved ahead with the

formulas for the Rudra Centre Rudraksa Oil Products for Hair and Skin and also

for Muscular and Joint Pain. The new Oils will be exceptional for Massage

Therapy

 

Rudra Centre will have these on the website within two weeks

 

Then we are hopeing there will be the possibility for a Rudaraksa Chywanprash

product mixed with Amla Fruit and a selection of the different Mukhi Rudraksa

Herbal Formulas in Bulk and in Capsules representing the values and effects of

Is going to be a great Blessing to be able to take the Holy Rudraksa internally

Chemical answer to `rudraksha' cures

Ayurvedic specialists in Calcutta have elucidated the chemical basis

that imparts multi drug values to `Rudraksha' fruits, grandma's

traditional antidote to various ailments.

 

While trying to scientifically establish the medicinal properties of

the ridged fruits, mentioned in the ancient scriptures, researchers

M.N. Das, A.K. Mangal and D De of Central Research Institute of

Ayurveda found that they contained palmitic, isopalmitic, linoleic

and myristic acids.

 

These compound make the fruits ideal for treatment of head diseases,

epileptic fits and asthma, Das told PTI.

 

Rudraksha, the fruit of Elaeocarpus sphaericus, is characterised by a

stony endocarp with five grooves running lengthwise and tubercled

ornamentation.

 

The flattened elliptical seeds have a distinct seed coat, endosperm

and leafy cotyledons.

 

The team studied both market and authentic samples separately through

transverse sections to establish their anatomical peculiarities

characterised by brown pigments, oil drops and calcium oxalate

crystals, Das said.

 

A powdered drug, characterised by sclereids, fibres, vessles and

sclerenchyma cells was then chemically analysed to confirm the

presence of the acids which impart the fruits medicinal value.

 

Das said preliminary observations on different extracts of the

powdered drug also showed faint fluorescence of the extract in 10 per

cent sulphuric acid solution under short ultra-violet radiation.
