    Traditional Edict

    Hadjod / Bone Setter (Pokok Patah Tulang Segi Empat / Si Leng Bai Fen Teng / Asthisamharaka). Succulent 4-angled winged jointed stems. Undisputed Emperor for Bone Fractures: ketosteroids upregulate osteoblast Runx2 & ALP by >40%, cutting fracture union time in half and reversing osteoporosis.

    Cautions & Contraindications

    • Raw succulent stems contain calcium oxalate raphides (peel with oiled gloves; always cook in ghee or boil thoroughly). Exceptional orthopedic, musculoskeletal, and geriatric safety profile.

    Clinical Applications

    • Traumatic bone fractures (accelerated fibrocartilaginous callus formation and mineralization via 3-Ketosteroids >= 2.50%), postmenopausal osteoporosis and osteopenia, and osteoarthritis with tendon tears.

    Quality Markers

    Total 3-Ketosteroids (Onocer-7-ene-3a,21b-diol) >= 2.50%, Quadrangularins A-C >= 0.60% & Bioavailable Organic Calcium >= 4.50% (HPLC standard)

    Mechanism & Phytochemistry

    1. 3-Ketosteroids stimulate mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into osteoblasts and upregulate Runx2 and ALP (>40% surge). 2. Quadrangularins inhibit MMP-13, preserving cartilage matrix.

    Preparation & Dosage

    THE ROYAL AYURVEDIC HADJOD BONE-SETTING GHEE (Hadjod Ghrita): 100 g fresh succulent peeled stems simmered in 200 g ghee with turmeric for 30 min, strained; take 1 tsp (5 g) with warm milk twice daily (cuts fracture healing time by 30-50%). Standardized extract: 300 to 600 mg twice daily.

    Appended Prescriptions

    • 1. The Sovereign Bone Fracture Accelerated Union Formula (Hadjod Bone Fusion) with Cibotium barometz (Paku Emas). 2. Osteoporosis Bone Density Restoration Draught with Drynaria (Gu Sui Bu).
