A few days ago, my mother introduced me to a stranger at the local market, and it turned into an interesting story.

Let me share with you about that:

On that Sunday morning, my mother found that she was looking for a plant, Patharchatta plant, also known as the Kalanchoe pinnata in English. 

But why?

Her husband is suffering from gall bladder stones, and she is hoping to find this plant.

Someone told her about this plant and its benefits. However, she couldn’t find it in half of Bangalore.

When she showed the picture of the plant, luckily, my mother recognized the plant, growing in our backyard.

My mother immediately stared at me, so I could help her, as I am a pharmacist.

I recollected the name of the plant from our pharmacognosy lessons. But I was not sure about its use for dissolving gallbladder stones.

So, how can I help her? What should I do now?

I am a medical writer and a responsible pharmacist; hence, I requested her to give me some time.

So that I could research and give her evidence-based information.

I researched, and what I found was surprising. Nature truly has healing treasures.

Yes, Kalanchoe pinnata can help with gallbladder stone digestion; it’s scientifically proven.

I contacted her, shared the information I had gathered, and suggested using it only under a doctor’s prescription.

We will provide the plant to her, which makes her happy, and my mom will be proud.

Are you curious to know the evidence? Here it is.

Conclusion:

  • Kalanchoe pinnata is a miracle plant with nature's healing power.
  • It is used in Ayurvedic medicines for its variety of health benefits.
  • It has the ability to prevent or dissolve stones.
  • Regular consumption of Patharchatta juice helps dissolve stones, regardless of their type or location. (Gallbladder stone/Kidney stone)

THE STAGES OF DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT  Drug discovery aims to identify compounds that are therapeutically useful in the treatment of diseases. This procedure involves choosing candidates, synthesizing, characterizing, validating, optimizing, screening, and performing therapeutic efficacy tests. Once a compound has shown significance in these investigations, it will initiate the drug development process earlier in clinical trials. The new medication development process must go through multiple steps to produce a medicine that is safe, effective, and meets all regulatory standards. From initial discovery to marketable medicine, this is a long, challenging task. It takes about 12 to 15 years to complete. ·          Identification of unmet medical needs ·          Target identification ·          Target validation ·       ...
