Corona cases are increasing rapidly in India. In such a situation, wearing a mask, maintaining social distance and getting a vaccine is being considered as the only way to avoid infection, but soon a medicine of corona may come, which will be no less than a lifesaving herb for corona patients.

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi and the International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) have found a cure for corona in a plant found in the Himalayan hills. Let us know how effective this plant can prove to be in protecting us from corona.

Corona herb found in Buransh plant

According to scientists, the burdock plant (Rhododendron arboreum) can help us fight the corona virus. A substance called phytochemical present in the petals of its flowers prevents the corona from multiplying. This chemical has some such anti-viral properties, due to which the virus cannot survive in front of them.

Let us tell you that the plant of Buransh is mostly found in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Kashmir. Local people have already been using the juice of its petals to keep their health good.

How does this plant prevent the spread of corona infection in the body?

Dr Ranjan Nanda of the International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology says that the phytochemicals of Buransh act in two ways in the body. First, they bind to an enzyme found in the corona, which helps the virus to duplicate itself. Apart from this, they also bind with the ACE-2 enzyme found in our body. The virus enters our body only through the ACE-2 enzyme.

According to scientists, due to this joining process of phytochemical, the corona virus is not able to infect the cells of our body and the risk of infection is averted. Professor Dr. Shyam Kumar Masakpalli of Mandi IIT says that he is hopeful that the treatment of corona will be possible with the burdock plant. His team is looking for a cure for corona in other medicinal plants found in the Himalayas.

Other benefits of Buransh petals

The syrup made from the flowers of Buransh is considered extremely beneficial for heart patients. These petals are used to relieve cold, muscle pain, headache and fever. Local people use it to make squash and jam. Also, its chutney is still preferred in rural areas.

Buransh is the state tree of Uttarakhand, it is highly recognized

Buransh plant is found at an altitude of 1500-3600 meters above sea level. It is the state tree of Uttarakhand and it is highly recognized in the local community there. Red flowers bloom on it in the months of March-April. The flowers of Buransh are also commonly known as Brass, Buras or Barah flowers. Apart from India, it is also found in Pakistan, China, Nepal, Thailand and Sri Lanka. People associate its found in Sri Lanka with Hanuman ji's taking the mountain of Sanjeevani Booti from the Himalayas in the Ramayana.
