This easy, cost-effective solution uses natural ingredients like curry leaves, amla, and coconut oil to combat grey hair. The oil aims to darken hair, add shine, and strengthen locks without harsh chemicals, offering a natural alternative to salon treatments. Tired of chemical dyes and expensive trips to the salon to hide your grey hair? Try out this easy and pocket-friendly hair oil recipe that has social media users gushing. Shared by Chef Jaspreet Singh, this homemade hair oil is simple to make and will turn back time with its anti-ageing properties. By using natural ingredients from your kitchen, you can darken your greying hair and add shine and strength to your locks without any chemical damage. Here's all you need for this magical fix: 6 Yoga asanas that can prevent hair fall and strengthen hair Ingredients: Curry leaves (1 small cup) Cloves/laung (8 to 10 pieces) Fennel flowers/kalonji (two tablespoons) Camphor/kapur (5 to 7 pieces) Indian gooseberry/amla powder (1 tablespoon) Cotton sheets (two pieces) Mustard oil/sarso ka tel Coconut oil/nariyal ka tel Here is what the goodness of these natural ingredients does for your hair: Amla and curry leaves are known for their anti-ageing properties. They also promote the growth of melanin, the natural pigment that gives hair its colour and slow down the premature greying of hair. Amla also reduces dandruff, and itching while curry leaves are rich in antioxidants. Coconut oil improves hair health by nourishing and moisturising the strands, taming dryness and fizz, and restoring shine to damaged hair. Mustard oil acts like a natural conditioner for the hair and is rich in antioxidants and vitamins. It prevents hair thinning, split ends, dandruff and frizz. Steps for how to make this hair-darkening oil at home Lay out the cotton sheets on a steel plate in a position that makes an 'X'. Add the remaining ingredients to the centre of the plate, on top of the cotton sheets. Fold the cotton strips into a ball, securing the ingredients inside. Place the ball in a diya and light it on fire with a matchstick. Place steel glasses around the diya and keep a steel thali on top of them. The flame will deposit a black soot under the steel thali. Scrape the soot from the thali and collect it. Place a large bowl in a double boiler and add coconut oil, the collected soot and amla powder to it. Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth and store it in a glass bottle. That's all it takes to make your very own viral hair oil!

Breakthrough In Liver Cirrhosis Treatment: Indian Scientists Develop New Approach
New Delhi: A team of Indian scientists has found a new way to treat liver cirrhosis, by targeting the lymphatic vessels in the liver and intestine that fail in case of cirrhosis. Chronic liver disease can progress from mild disease to fibrosis to cirrhosis (also known as scarring). Cirrhosis is accompanied by the distortion of both blood and lymphatic vessels in the liver and the intestine. Patients with advanced cirrhosis often develop complications like fluid accumulation in the abdomen. A team of scientists from the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS), New Delhi, and National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER), Guwahati, focussed on improving the drainage capacity of lymphatic vessels in the liver and intestine by using nanocarriers filled with a powerful protein called VEGF-C. Pic Credits: IANS 'Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) is a key pro-lymphangiogenic factor that activates lymphangiogenesis or new lymphatic vessel growth. It does this through binding to a cell membrane tyrosine kinase receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3), the activation of which is essential for the growth and development of new lymphatic vessels,' said the researchers. The team probed the therapeutic efficacy of VEGF-C in ameliorating gut lymphatic dysfunction and improving lymph drainage. Owing to the hydrophilicity, short half-life, and systemic side effects of VEGF-C, the team led by Dr Subham Banerjee from NIPER Guwahati first focused on the development of VEGF-C encapsulated reverse micelle-based nanocarriers, which specifically bind to VEGFR-3 homodimers. Next, the ILBS team, led by Dr Savneet Kaur, tested the developed VEGF-C nanocarriers extensively in animal models of advanced cirrhosis and portal hypertension. The developed molecule was delivered via the oral route to ensure its gut lymphatic vessel uptake in the animal models. The team showed that VEGF-C nanocarriers significantly increased mesenteric lymph drainage, which reduced ascites. Importantly, the treatment also led to an attenuation of the portal pressures, improved cytotoxic T-cell immunity in mesenteric lymph nodes, and reduced local and systemic bacterial load. The research, published in the JHEP Reports journal, is the first to highlight that therapeutic lymphangiogenesis with VEGF-C is a promising treatment for reconstructing the fragmented lymphatic network and restoring lymphatic function and drainage in advanced cirrhosis.

AIIMS-led study shows two-medicine combination therapy effective in controlling high BP
Using a single pill comprising two blood pressure medicines is a safe and highly effective way to treat hypertension among South Asians, particularly Indians, finds a study led by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi. The study, in partnership with the Centre for Chronic Disease Control (CCDC) and Imperial College London, UK, compared three widely used drug combinations: amlodipine plus perindopril, amlodipine plus indapamide, and perindopril plus indapamide. The first randomised trial to test three different two-drug combination pills among South Asians involved over 1,200 patients with uncontrolled hypertension across 32 hospitals in India. 'All three combinations worked equally well in reducing blood pressure and were safe for patients,' revealed the study, published in the journal Nature Medicine. The findings showed that either of the two-drug combinations led to a significant drop in blood pressure after 6 months -- by around 14/8 mmHg when measured over 24 hours and about 30/14 mmHg in clinic settings. 'Nearly 70 per cent of patients got their blood pressure under control, a huge improvement over the current national average. And the pills were safe and easy to use. This study gives clear guidance for better hypertension care,' said Dr Ambuj Roy, Professor of Cardiology at AIIMS Delhi. 'This study shows that a single daily pill with two drugs can be a simple and powerful way to manage blood pressure in Indian and South Asian patients,' said Dr Dorairaj Prabhakaran, Executive Director of CCDC. High blood pressure (hypertension) is the leading risk factor for death worldwide and affects over 300 million people in India alone. Treating it early and effectively can prevent heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure. Doctors often recommend starting with two medications in one pill to control blood pressure better and help patients stick to treatment. But until now, no large study had tested which combinations worked best for South Asians, who make up a quarter of the world's population. The results revealed that nearly 70 per cent of patients with any of the dual drug therapy reached the recommended blood pressure target of below 140/90 mmHg -- five times higher than India's current average control rate. Less than 3 per cent of patients reported side effects serious enough to stop treatment. 'These findings can help guide doctors and policymakers. If added to India's list of essential medicines and made available at primary health centres, these pills could greatly improve blood pressure control in the country,' Prabhakaran said.
