Natural herb ‘Chhoti Kateli’ effective against tuberculosis: Patanjali study

In a significant development in the fight against tuberculosis (TB), recent research from Patanjali has identified the natural herb Solanum virginianum, commonly known as ‘Chhoti Kateli,’ as an effective preventive measure against the disease.

The study, published in the prestigious journal Frontiers in Microbiology, marks a breakthrough in the development of herbal medicine for TB.

Acharya Balkrishna of Patanjali highlighted the limitations of current TB treatments, including the limited bioavailability of anti-tubercular drugs, the bacteria’s ability to develop drug resistance, and the hepatotoxicity induced by prolonged treatment.

Patanjali’s research on Solanum virginianum extract (SVE) or ‘Chhoti Kateli’ aims to develop herbal therapies that can either stand alone or complement existing anti-TB drugs. The study tested SVE’s biological activity on Mycobacterium smegmatis, a model for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and found that bacteria treated with SVE exhibited reduced growth and viability, demonstrating the extract’s anti-tubercular effects.
