If you have ever taken a stroll at night, then you might have wondered about the sweet smell of the tree with white flowers. Popularly known as raat ki rani, desi jasmine may not bloom in the brightness of the day but is surely a ray of hope for people suffering with severe pain in joints and muscles. In Ayurveda, harshingar (Indian night jasmine) is considered an aushadhi (medicine) for arthritis. Arthritis is a leading cause of disability among adults, which brings about swelling, stiffness and pain in the joints and when worsened, can even make it difficult to walk. It is a condition with a tricky diagnosis, and over 100 different types of arthritis affect 10 million Indians every year, restricting mobility and quality of life.
