Arthcare Oil is known to contain Ayurvedic formulation that has been used since centuries that contains the herbal combination of well known traditional herbs.
Guggul is an oleoresin present in the herb Commiphora mukul. In folk medicines, it is used for treating joint pain and inflammation. Experimental studies have confirmed the effectiveness of guggul as an anti-inflammatory agent. Guggulsterone, an active compound present in the guggul, is believed to suppress the activities of pro-inflammatory proteins and enzymes. (Khanna D, Sethi G, Ahn KS, Pandey MK, Kunnumakkara AB, Sung B, Aggarwal A, Aggarwal BB. “Natural products as a gold mine for arthritis treatment.” Curr Opin Pharmacol. 2007 Jun;7(3):344-51). According to a Southern California University of Health Sciences study, guggul could significantly reduce the symptoms of osteoarthritis. (Singh BB, Mishra LC, Vinjamury SP, Aquilina N, Singh VJ, Shepard N. “The effectiveness of Commiphora mukul for osteoarthritis of the knees: an outcomes study.” Altern Ther Health Med. 2003 May-Jun;9(3):74-9). According to studies, the anti-inflammatory effect of guggul is comparable to that of the common drugs such as ibuprofen and phenylbutazone used for treating arthritis pain. (Sharma JN, Sharma JN. “Comparison of the anti-inflammatory activity of Comminphora mukul (an indigenous drug) with those of phenylbutazone and ibuprofen in experimental arthritis induced by mycobacterial adjuvant.” Arzneimittelforschung. 1977 Jul;27(7):1455-7).
Pluchea lancrealata is beneficial for treating chronic joint inflammation triggered by malfunction of the immune system. The immunosuppressive properties of the herb have been demonstrated in experimental studies. (Bhagwat DP, Kharya MD, Bani S, Kaul A, Kour K, Chauhan PS, Suri KA, Satti NK. “Immunosuppresive properties of Pluchea lanceolata leaves.” Indian J Pharmacol. 2010 Feb;42(1):21-6).
The oil extracted from the Cedrus deodara bark could effectively treat symptoms of chronic inflammation in arthritis. It also helps to reduce pain and discomfort through its analgesic function. (Shinde UA, Phadke AS, Nair AM, Mungantiwar AA, Dikshit VJ, Saraf MN. “Studies on the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of Cedrus deodara (Roxb.) Loud. wood oil.” J Ethnopharmacol. 1999 Apr;65(1):21-7).
Allium sativum or garlic is beneficial for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis patients. Sulphur compounds, known as alliums present in the culinary herb, reduce inflammation by suppressing the activities of pro-inflammatory enzymes and proteins. (Anti-inflammatory and arthritic effects of thiacremonone, a novel sulfur compound isolated from garlic via inhibition of NF-kappaB.” Arthritis Res Ther. 2009;11(5):R145).
Degradation of collagen in the bones, ligaments and tendons is the common outcome of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Withania somnifera, also known as Ashwagandha, could inhibit collagen destruction and improve the condition of the synovial joints affected by arthritis. (Ganeshan K, Sehgal PK, Mandal AB, Sayeed S. “Protective effect of Withania somnifera and Cardiospermum halicacabum Extracts Against Collagenolytic Degradation of Collagen.” Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 2011 Jul26). Ashwagandha root prevents cartilage damage even in chronic osteoarthritis patients who did not respond to therapies with glycosamine. (Sumantran VN, Chandawaskar R, Joshi AK, Boddul S, Patwardhan B, Chopra A, Wagh UV. “The relationship between chondroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of Withania somnifera root and glucosamine sulphate on human osteoarthritic cartilage in vitro.” Phytother Res. 2008 Oct;22(10):1342-8). Withania somnifera could help to treat chronic inflammation by suppressing the activities of pro-inflammatory molecules. (Singh D, Aggarwal A, Maurya R, Naik S. “Withania somnifera inhibits NF-kappa B and AP-1 transcription factors in human peripheral blood and synovial fluid mononuclear cells.” Phytother Res. 2007 Oct;21(10):905-13). Gouty arthritis, caused by accumulation of urate crystals in the joints, could be treated with Ashwagandha root. Moreover, unlike non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, long-term use of the herb is not linked to gastric damage. (Rasool M, Varalakshmi P. “Suppressive effect of Withania somnifera root powder on experimental gouty arthritis: An in vivo and in vitro study.” Chem Biol Interact. 2006 Dec15;164(3):174-80).
The anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect of Vitex negundo leaves could reduce inflammation and pain in the joints. The herb could even boost the activities of the antioxidants in the human body, preventing further destruction of the vulnerable joints owing to oxidative stress. (Dharmasiri MG, Jayakody JR, Galhena G, Liyanage SS, Ratnasooriya WD. “Anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of mature fresh leaves of Vitex negundo.” J Ethnopharmacol. 2003 Aug;87(2-3):199-206).
Ricinoleic acid, the most prominent active compound in castor oil, possesses anti-inflammatory property. (Vierira C, Fetzer S, Sauer SK, Evangelista S, Averbeck B, Kress M, Reeh PW, Cirillo R, Lippi A, Maggi CA, Manzini S. “Pro and anti-inflammatory actions of ricinoleic acid: similarities and differences with capsaicin.” Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol. 2001 Aug;364(2):87-95). The effectiveness of castor oil as a knee osteoarthritis therapy has been confirmed in a clinical trial conducted by researchers at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education Research, Chandigarh and All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. (Medhi B, Kishore K, Singh U, Seth SD. “Comparative clinical trial of castor oil and diclofenac sodium in patients with osteoarthritis.” Phytother Res. 2009 Oct;23(10):1469-73).
The leaves of Paederia foetida, a plant native to the Indian subcontinent, are used in folk medicine for treating inflammatory disorders. Studies indicate anti-rheumatic function of the plant. (De S, Ravishankar B, Bhavsar GC. “Investigation of the anti-inflammatory effects of Paederia foetida.” J Ethnopharmacol. 1994 Jun;43(1):31-8).
The soothing effect of camphor helps to reduce the sensation of pain. Experimental studies on arthritis have confirmed the anti-inflammatory effect of Cinnamonum camphora. (Li H, Huang L, Zhou A, Li X, Sun J. “Study on anti-inflammatory effect of different chemotype of Cinnamomum camphora on rat arthritis model induced by Freund’s adjuvant.” Zhonggou Zhong Yao Za Zhi. 2009 Dec;34(24):3251-4).
The above anti-inflammatory natural ingredients have been blended with sesame oil, menthol, Piper Nigrum or pepper and Trachyspermum ammi or ajwain. Laboratory studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant functions of sesame seed oil. (Lee WJ, Ou HC, Wu CM, Lee IT, Lin SY, Lin LY, Tsai KL, Lee SD, Sheu WH. “Sesamin mitigates inflammation and oxidative stress in endotherlial cells exposed to oxidized low-protein lipoprotein.” J Agric Food Chem. 2009 Dec 9;57(23):11406-17). In folk medicine, poultice with ajwain is recommended for reducing arthritis pain. Menthol is a topical analgesic. It speedily penetrates the skin, soothes the sore joints and reduces body pain and muscles cramps. It is frequently added to arthritis relief ointments to improve their effectiveness. (Kraemer WJ, Ratamess NA, Maresh CM, Anderson JA, Volek JS, Tiberio DP, Joyce ME, Messinger BN, French DN, Sharman MJ, Rubin MR, Gomez AL, Silvestre R, Hesslink RL Jr. “A cetylated fatty acid topical cream with methanol reduces pain and improves functional performance in individuals with arthritis.” J Strength Cond Res. 2005 May;19(2):475-80).
