Herbochem Unveils Groundbreaking Research on Ashwagandha’s Impact on Mental Health

Hyderabad, 13th February 2024Herbochem, a trailblazer in herbal and natural products with over 50 years of industry prowess, proudly announced a breakthrough study on the mental health benefits of Ashwagandha. This significant study, published in the International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, highlights the efficacy of Ashwagandha. As an ancient medicinal herb deeply rooted in traditional Ayurvedic practices, Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) has been a cornerstone of holistic well-being in India for centuries. Recognized as an adaptogen, it plays a vital role in stress management and overall balance within the body. The research underscores the adaptogenic, anti-stress, anti-anxiety, and antidepressant properties of Ashwagandha. With mental health disorders on the rise globally, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, Ashwagandha emerges as a potent solution to alleviate symptoms such as depression, stress, anxiety, and sleep disorders.

In a head-to-head comparison, the study zeroes in on two Ashwagandha brands: Herbochem +91 (500mg capsules) and 600mg capsules from another notable brand. Renowned for its adaptogenic and antidepressant properties, Ashwagandha showcased remarkable efficacy in mitigating mental health symptoms. The research revealed compelling insights into the efficacy and safety of Ashwagandha 500mg capsules. Ashwagandha 500mg exhibited significantly higher reductions in perceived stress, Hamilton depression scale scores, and Beck’s anxiety inventory scores when compared to the control group. The study establishes that the optimal dosage of Ashwagandha 500mg demonstrated superior efficacy in reducing mental health symptoms compared to the Ashwagandha 600mg.

The study, a collaborative effort by renowned institutions including the Department of Biochemistry at Shivaji University, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, ViVforever Aesthetics Private Limited, Mumbai, Maharashtra, and the Critical Care Department at Vakratunda Hospital, Nashik, Maharashtra, delves into the global surge in mental health disorders, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study emphasizes the prevalent symptoms of depression, stress, anxiety, and sleep disorders, underscoring the pressing need for effective solutions.

Mr. Karthik Kondepudi, Partner at Herbochem, stated, “This study reaffirms Herbochem’s dedication to providing innovative, effective, and safe solutions that contribute to a healthier world. At Herbochem, our commitment extends beyond manufacturing. We are devoted to crafting products that not only meet the highest standards of quality but also make a meaningful impact on the well-being of individuals.

Herbochem’s +91 Ashwagandha stands as a paragon of Ayurveda’s holistic health approach. This full-spectrum standardized extract, unique in its extraction technique, not only captures active compounds but also maximizes vital macro-nutrients like Potassium and Magnesium. These elements play a crucial role in stress reduction and promoting better sleep, making +91 Ashwagandha® a distinctive and comprehensive solution for holistic well-being.

Kenvue collaborates with Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) Neonatology Chapter

National, 13 February 2024 – Kenvue, the world’s largest pure-play consumer health company by revenue, released its latest consensus on ‘Recommendations for Neonatal Skincare Protocols for Hospitalized Neonate’ endorsed by the IAP Neonatology Chapter. The comprehensive recommendations were officially unveiled at PEDICON 2024 which is the 61st National Conference of the Indian Academy of Paediatrics at the IAP Neonatology Chapter, a prestigious medical conference for pediatricians and neonatologists. The recommendations aim to provide neonatologists in India with evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for neonatal skin care in hospitalized neonates and implement skincare protocols grounded in scientific principles and empirical evidence.

 kevenue

Neonates in NICU are at a high risk of skin barrier impairment due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors including infection due to thermal imbalance, fluid and electrolyte loss, skin injury, and sepsis leading to increased mortality and morbidity. These complications, however, can be reduced if NICUs have established evidence-based skincare protocols and perform skin assessments as an integral part of management.

Today, there are multiple approaches to the quality of neonatal skincare practices in NICUs that impact neonatal outcomes including survival. The consensus intends to bridge this gap by providing clinical recommendations on neonatal skincare in hospitalized neonates.

The recommendations have been built by adopting the Delphi methodology which incorporates views from a scientific advisory board comprising eminent pediatricians and neonatologists across specialties including Dr. R Kishore Kumar, Dr. Arun Inamadar, Dr. Alok Bhandari, Dr. Rajesh Kumar, Dr. Kheya Uttam Ghosh, Dr. J K Mittal and Dr. Pradeep Suryawanshi, Dr. Sanjay Wazir and Dr. Satyen Hemrajani and moderated by Dr. Naveen Bajaj, Chairperson, IAP Neonatology Chapter.

The recommendations provide practical guidance on neonatal skin care for babies in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) including the need for neonatal skin assessment for early identification and treatment of skin problems through screening tools and risk assessment frameworks, the importance of hygiene in NICU babies through stringent hand hygiene practices, cleansing for newborns to reduce infections, when and how to bathe the baby, cleansing with appropriately formulated wipes with mild cleansing agents. Additionally, the paper also covers aspects related to the usage of emollients in preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL), umbilical cord care, perineal care, Neurodevelopmental Care and regimen, and parent Education during discharge.

Manish Anandani, Managing Director, Kenvue India* said, “When it comes to newborn care, there exist broad variations in routine skin care practices in NICUs in India. With our latest recommendations, we aim to ensure that every newborn not only survives but thrives by providing healthcare professionals with a comprehensive guide of standardized evidence-based skincare protocols. We are proud to release these recommendations in partnership with the IAP Neonatology Chapter to significantly improve the health of newborns.”

Dr. Naveen Bajaj, Chairperson, of the IAP Neonatology Chapter said, “Comprehensive care of neonates admitted in NICU is the key for their survival and early discharge. Skincare of these newborn babies forms an essential aspect of their overall management plan, and is of critical importance in extremely preterm babies, these evidence-based guidelines will help streamline the practice of neonatal skin care, helping to contribute to improved overall neonatal morbidity and mortality, especially the extreme preterm newborns.”

vat vat ma

The inaugural season of ‘Vaat Vaat Ma’ kicked off with a unique blend of the Corona and lockdown themes, marking a groundbreaking experiment in the Gujarati entertainment landscape. With the introduction of ‘Vaat Vaat Ma Returns,’ the series infused additional entertainment and excitement through family drama. Now, as we approach Valentine’s Day, get ready for the new season and a new story brimming with twists and turns.

In this new season, Anand (Malhar Thakar) and Khushi’s (Puja Joshi) love story encounters various challenges. Anand, with dreams of a political career, resides with his lively family in Pol Ahmedabad. Anand’s father, Paresh bhai, eagerly pushes him towards marriage. Anand devises a plan to reject Khushi, the girl his father has arranged for him to meet, but eventually finds himself falling in love with her. The tapestry of cultures unfolds as Anand’s family, deeply entrenched in the vibrant Pol culture, stands in stark contrast to Khushi’s family, which radiates sophistication. Despite initial rejections, Anand remains determined to win Khushi’s heart. Ultimately, the couple, undeterred by parental disapproval, tie the knot and attempts to reconcile their families by moving into each other’s homes. The collision of these worlds promises a rollercoaster of emotions and unlimited entertainment.

Reflecting on ‘Vaat Vaat Ma Adla Badali’, Malhar Thakar expressed, “Being part of ‘Vaat Vaat Ma Adla Badali’ has been an enriching experience for me. The series delves into the essence of love and relationships in a culturally rich setting, offering viewers a delightful blend of drama, romance, and comedy. The new season has a series of amusing and unpredictable events that will leave viewers eagerly anticipating each new episode. I am grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with ShemarooMe and the talented team behind this project.”

Puja Joshi shared, “Playing Khushi is a delightful experience as she is strong-willed, open-minded, and health-conscious—traits that personally resonate with me. I appreciate the emphasis on family values in the storyline. Working with the entire cast has been a joy; we have had so much fun on set that we used to often lose track of time. Malhar and I share a fantastic off-screen camaraderie, almost like best friends. This comfort and enjoyment off-screen, I believe, naturally reflect in our onscreen chemistry.”
