Cissus quadrangularis is an indigenous medicinal plant of India. The use of this plant by the common folk for promoting fracture healing process is an old practice. It has been prescribed in ancient Ayurvedic texts by Bhava Prakash and Chakra Dutta as a general tonic especially for the fractured patient. Since then it has been in extensive use by bone setters both for external application and as an internal medicine to be taken with milk.

It was prescribed in the ancient Ayurvedic texts as a painkiller, with bone fracture healing properties. Modern research has shed light on Cissus’ ability to speed bone healing by showing it acts as a glucocorticoid antagonist .it promote bone growth and fracture healing, In addition to speeding the remodeling process of the healing bone, Cissus also leads to a much faster increase in bone tensile strength.

Here are the scientific write-up’s…
Studies done on fractures Radius/Ulna of dog shown quicker healing in treated animal. Fractured bone healed in treated animal in 21 days & controlled animal took more time on Radiological and Histopathological finding. In treated animal calcium level was reduced which became normal on 21st day ,but in controlled animal no calcium level change observed. (INDIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY 1994: 26:44 45.)
Cissus also possess analgesic properties on an mg per mg basis comparable to aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen.
3 month sub chronic toxicity studies conducted shown no toxic effect on experimental animal Studies conducted in different doses of C.Q. from low to high ,found no toxic effect. Studies shows that it is so safe that the lethal dose LD-50 is over 2000 mg/kg on experimental animals. (SONGKLANAKARIN J.SCI . TECHNOL VOL.24 NO. 1 JAN-MARCH 2002)
CLINICAL TRIAL SHOWS
  • 33-55% reduction in healing time.
  • 90% tensile strength in 6 weeks.
  • Pain, tenderness, and swelling reduction.
  • Strengthens tendon and muscles which helps in early recovery
  • Anti-osteoporotic property helps to prevent depletion of calcium in     immobilized limb and in patient on bed rest.
