Overview

• Microplastics, pervasive in air, water, and food, are linked to lung inflammation and long-term respiratory issues when inhaled.
• Patanjali Research Foundation's Ayurvedic remedy, Bronchom, demonstrated efficacy in reducing lung damage in preclinical mouse studies.
• The study, published in the journal Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, confirmed reductions in inflammatory markers and airway hyper-responsiveness.
• Researchers emphasize the importance of blending ancient Ayurvedic knowledge with modern science to address contemporary health threats.
• Future steps include further safety evaluations and planning clinical trials to explore Bronchom’s potential for human use.
