Abstract :
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis among older adults. It is also one of the most common causes of physical disability among adults. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a long-term chronic disease characterized by the deterioration of the cartilage in joints which results in bones rubbing together and creating stiffness, pain, and impaired movement. The pharmaco therapy can be associated with serious side effects and high costs. Now a day’s herbal medications have shown the potential for safe and effective management of arthritis and Unani medicine can provide an alternate therapy for Osteoarthritis. Suranjan Shireen-out of several herbal drugs in Unani Medicine is a potent and safe antiarthritic drug this has been proved in many in-vivo and in-vitro studies. Suranjan Shireen is effective against Arthralgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Gout. I have summarised the various clinical studies in this article to prove the therapeutic potentials of the Suranjan-shireen and Talkh with its Unani aspect to help the future scientist to explore this drug through clinical trial for treatment of various forms of OA specially in growing old age population.
