Description

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, which means it cannot be stored in the body and we must take it from dietary sources. It is an antioxidant, which can help to neutralise free radicals in the body and contributes to the protection if cells against oxidative stress. Vitamin C also contributes to the normal function of the immune system, natural energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Known locally as kalmegh, meaning “dark cloud”, the Ayurveda herb andrographis is widely cultivated in southern and south-eastern Asia, with its roots and leaves used for medicine. Pukka’s legal team has been active against restrictive legislation that limits our basic human right to health freedom; the freedom to access natural plant remedies and be informed about how they have been traditionally used. We recently joined with Unilever to help us expand and grow. Their commitment to finding a sustainable way for business to bring positive impact throughout their network is sorely needed in leading the way for big business to take the responsibility for their actions and impacts. With 300 to 500 businesses controlling 70% of global trade – feeding and clothing the 7 billion of us – influencing the behaviour of these giants offers us the greatest opportunity for the positive change we urgently need to promote more regenerative business practices. As most of the world gets behind the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, it’s a once in history chance to coordinate social change through responsible government and business. Consult your healthcare professional before taking Sambucol if you are under medical supervision, on medication, pregnant or are breastfeeding. Today, Professor Ernst remains cautious. “It is often the case that initial trials are encouraging and later, more rigorous studies fail to confirm the early findings. I think it is too early to say whether that is also true for andrographis.” Reasons for optimism

Alma takes it as a tincture, prescribed by an Ayurvedic practitioner, whenever she feels she’s about to get a cough or a sore throat. “It is certainly bitter. I’d never put it in whisky, it would ruin a good malt. But I can swallow it in a warm honey drink or in fruit juice.”

There is an evidence base to show this is also true for andrographis. In 2004, a review of the evidence on the herb by Edzard Ernst, former professor of complementary medicine at Exeter University, published in the journal Planta Medica, was positive. “It looks like a safe and efficacious treatment,” it said, “superior to placebo in alleviating the symptoms of uncomplicated upper respiratory tract infection” with “preliminary evidence of a preventative effect” and “few spontaneous reports of adverse events”. Three of the Sambucol products contain artificial sweeteners. Sambucol Immuno Forte Sugar Free Liquid contains Sorbitol. Sambucol Immuno Forte Effervescent Tablets contain Sucralose & Sorbitol. Sambucol Immuno Forte Pastilles contain Maltitol in addition to the natural sweetener, Stevia.Yes, the need for new antibiotics is huge, but it makes more financial sense for the pharmaceutical industry to develop new drugs that will be widely used for decades such as heart or diabetes drugs,” he says. What’s the evidence?

With the British public spending millions of pounds every year on herbal remedies, Alma’s experience might seem less than newsworthy. What’s different about andrographis is that it could be about to become an alternative to antibiotics in UK medical general practices.

There are now 120 of us working together at Pukka. We are a pretty eclectic, often hectic, but always energetic and inspired bunch of people. We’re making the best of British and do 99% of our finished manufacturing in the UK from organic ingredients sourced from many friends around the world. In our own small way, we hope we’re helping people to live healthier, happier lives and to fulfil their potential on this beautiful planet that we all share. So, what next?

It’s a complex issue. On the one hand, overuse of antibiotics is allowing bacteria to evolve to repel them – with antimicrobial resistance creating what many regard as a global emergency. Experts predict that this could cost 10 million lives globally by 2050, at a point where common infections could kill and surgery would become impossible. Through making organic Ayurvedic creations we could bring some value to threatened forests. By paying farmers and collectors above market prices for the herbs we use at Pukka we could help protect dwindling ecosystems. By making organic farming practices worth more than soil- destroying conventional methods we could incentivise conservation of the Earth. Commerce could lead to conservation.

Zincis a mineral that’s important to the body in many ways including contributing to the maintenance of the normal function of the immune system. It also contributes to the protection of cells in the body from oxidative stress. Dr Hu is optimistic about the contribution of herbal medicine to healthcare. “Integrative medicine, bringing together conventional, complementary and alternative interventions, is the optimum treatment as well as being evidence-based, effective, safe and low cost,” she says. Uncontrolled wild harvesting is threatening the medicinal plants on which the herbal medicines industry depends’. Truth is the essence of who we are, the root from which we emanate; respect is how we relate to each other, the vine that weaves throughout everything; purity is about knowing the heart of the matter, it’s the flowering of our heart; and effort is the fruit that we reap from our inspiring and purposeful activities. Connecting people and plants

What’s the evidence?

It is called ayurveda because it tells us what foods, herbs and activities enhance the quality of life, and which ones don’t.’ There is a crisis over which the public have no control, however: the fact that the pharmaceutical industry has produced no new classes of antibiotics, to replace medicines that no longer work, since the 1980s.
