Result of new research on Rooh Afza

The medicinal and health-giving properties of Rooh Afza have been substantiated by some renowned Research Scientists whose findings, in brief, are given hereunder:

1. Dr. A. GULATI, Dr. R.C. SRIMAL AND DR. B.N. DHAWAN, Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow: Experimental and Clinical Studies on Cardiovascular Effect of Rooh Afza.'
   
   The result of this study shows that Rooh Afza is a useful drink and no adverse effect on the cardiovascular system could be detected. On the other hand, it increased the cardiac output, improved the myocardial blood supply and decreased the heart rate without significantly affecting the blood pressure.
   

2. Dr. S.K. GUPTA, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi : 'Clinical, biochemical and pharmacological evaluation of Rooh Afza in various pathophysiological conditions.' Rooh Afza is effective in the management of dehydration of various grades by maintaining the electrodes and water balance of the body. This study confirms the presence of essential elements like Na, K, Ca2+ , Mg, Phosphorous, Sulpher and Zinc in Rooh Afza. It protects against heat exhaustion, physical work, fatigue and profuse weating. Rooh Afza is an anti stress agent.
   

3. Dr. A. LATIF, A.K. Tibbiya College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh : 'Nutritional Status of Rooh Afza - An Anabolic and Androgenic activity'.

   This study reveals that Rooh Afza shows anabolic activity which is characterised by the ability to augment growth or to increase body weight by inducing nitrogen balance. An androgenic activity produces stimulatory effects on development and maintenance of secondary sex organs in male.

4. Dr. M.A. RAHIM, Govt. Nizamia Tibbi College, Hyderabad: 'Role of Sharbat Rooh Afza on Blood Chemistry.'

   In this study Sharbat Rooh Afza was clinically tried in the management of fatigue, mild anaemia and hypocalcemic conditions. Those patients who received treatment with Rooh Afza showed favourable changes in the laboratory investigation, comparable with those who received iron therapy. Apart from increase in haemoglobin and calcium levels of blood, patients had great relief in symptoms such as giddiness, tingling, numbness, white discharge, etc.

5. Dr. A.K. GUWARA, L.L.R.M. Medical college, Meerut: 'Sharbat Rooh Afza in Anaesthetic Practice.'

   Rooh Afza prevented post-suxamethonium pain in 90% of patients in the test group compared to the 80% patients who complained of pain who did not receive Rooh Afza. This remarkable effect of Rooh Afza could be attributed to Vitamin C which is one of the constituents of the drink. Thus Rooh Afza can be utilized to alleviate the suffering of patients in the prevention of post-suxamethonium pain.
