Natural products with medicinal value are gradually gaining importance in clinical research due to their well-known property of no side effects as compared to drugs. Tinospora cordifolia commonly named as "Guduchi" is known for its immense application in the treatment of various diseases in the traditional ayurvedic literature. Recently the discovery of active components from the plant and their biological function in disease control has led to active interest in the plant across the globe. Our present study in this review encompasses (i) the genetic diversity of the plant and (ii) active components isolated from the plant and their biological role in disease targeting. The future scope of the review remains in exploiting the biochemical and signaling pathways affected by the compounds isolated from Tinospora so as to enable new and effective formulation in disease eradication.

Article Synopsis
- Metabolic disorders are a major global health issue, prompting research into drugs with improved effectiveness and fewer side effects, particularly from traditional Indian medicine using Tinospora cordifolia and Tinospora sinensis.
- The study aimed to identify unique metabolite fingerprints from these plants across various geographic locations and establish potential quality markers for treatment.
- Non-targeted metabolite fingerprinting techniques revealed six key marker compounds, with specific metabolites linked to geographic variations, indicating trans piceid, crustecdysone, and gallic acid as promising candidates for addressing metabolic disorders, though further studies are needed to confirm these results.
Effect of Ayurveda and Siddha interventions in the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia: A case report.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a hematological malignancy marked by the clonal proliferation of the mature, yet dysfunctional B lymphocytes in blood and its subsequent infiltration of the marrow, lymphoid tissues and spleen. The resultant immune dysfunction exposes the body to multiple infections and is a cause of major mortality. Here, we discuss the case of a 46-year-old male suffering from CLL who presented with long-standing episodes of low-grade fever, productive cough and throat irritation, lethargy and pedal edema.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores a new method for creating antiseptic wipes by using microencapsulation to combine antimicrobial properties of A.I. oil and T.C. extracts.
- Microcapsules were made with a 1:1 ratio of A.I. and T.C., using sodium alginate, and were evenly distributed in non-woven cotton fabric.
- The treated fabric significantly reduced bacteria, showing effectiveness against both Gram-positive (up to 99%) and Gram-negative (up to 99%) strains, while only slightly decreasing in whiteness, indicating potential for infection control applications.
