Saruga pinnata is used in some traditional practices for inflammation, but strong clinical evidence and safety data are limited, especially when you are already on medicines like plasmoquine and colchicine. In your case, since your symptoms are well controlled, adding a new herb should be done cautiously. Possible concerns with Saruga pinnata: Can cause digestive irritation in some people May interact with existing medicines Quality and purity vary (important factor) So it is not advisable to start it on your own, especially long term. Better approach: Continue your current treatment and support it with safe measures like diet control and gentle anti-inflammatory support. At home, warm food, avoiding trigger foods, and mild oil massage on joints can help. Yograj Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after food Shallaki (Boswellia) tablet – 1 tablet twice daily These are safer and more commonly used for joint inflammation. Always introduce one thing at a time and monitor. Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)
