  • Research

    Anti-inflammatory - works as a COX-2 inhibitor, AU/RA reduces inflammation, reduces pain and promotes joint mobility. This internationally patented herbal formula is based upon proven
    Ayurvedic herbs, which have been thoroughly researched at several universities.
    The clinical trial confirms improvement in subjective as well as objective parameters. Microscopical examination of the synovial fluid in OA/RA treated arthritic patients revealed that the Rheumatoid factor (RA), responsible for arthritis and Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) were totally absent.
    The macroscopical clinical signs and symptoms of arthritis were also absent in AU/RA treated arthritic patients.
    The radiographical observation of bone joints after AU/RA treatment showed that loss of articular cartilage was prevented and bone sclerosis and osteophyte formation were modified significantly.
    Patients have gained substantial improvement with respect to control group patients. The clinical signs of erythema, oedema, tenderness (hyperalgesia) and pain were found to have undergone
    modification to a great extent. The polyherbal Ayurvedic drug AURA, was found to interfere with the prostaglandin synthesis by selectively inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme.

  • Arthritis & Osteoarthritis

    Although arthritis and osteoarthritis may occur at any time it's much more common in the latter years of an animal's life.
    Dogs are more likely to get arthritis than cats, but cats and other animals do suffer from arthritis. Larger dog breeds are more susceptible than smaller breeds.
    Osteoarthritis is a so-called mechanical condition characterized by the gradual wearing down of cartilage in the joints. Aging is the most common risk factor for osteoarthritis. Arthritis, on the other hand, is not caused by the normal wear and tear of bones.
    Osteoarthritis, also referred to as Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD), is a progressively worsening inflammation of the joint caused by the deterioration of cartilage. In a healthy joint, cartilage acts as a cushion to allow the joint to move smoothly through its full range of motion. In cases of osteoarthritis, this cartilage cushion begins to break down because of factors such as age, injury, repetitive stress, or disease. The loss of this protective cushion results in pain, inflammation, decreased range of motion, and the development of bone spurs. While any joint in the body can develop osteoarthritis, the condition most commonly affects the limbs and lower spine.
    Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most painful types of arthritis; it affects joints as well as other surrounding tissues, including organs. This inflammatory, autoimmune disease attacks healthy cells by mistake, causing painful swelling in the joints, like hands, wrists and knees.
