How Voll Sante is Fighting India’s Chronic Illness Epidemic with Plant Oils
India today is facing a silent but widespread health crisis. Despite the advancement of modern medicine, chronic illnesses linked to poor diet and nutrition are rising fast. More Indians are catching these diseases at a much younger age now – with 50 percent of heart attacks in Indian men occurring before the age of 50. Nearly one in five deaths in the country is tied to diet-related factors. And while food availability has improved, many people remain overfed yet undernourished, lacking the essential micronutrients needed to sustain long-term health.
The signs are everywhere. Persistent fatigue and low energy have become part of daily life for millions – with over 80% of Indians waking up tired, and a majority of urban youth reporting chronic exhaustion. At the same time, lifestyle-linked risks are surging. Nearly 70% of India’s urban population is overweight, and about 30% of adults show signs of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that drastically increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Meanwhile, the lifetime risk of cancer is climbing too, with one in nine Indians likely to be affected.
Underlying all this is a deeper issue that conventional healthcare often overlooks: chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and widespread nutritional imbalances – not just symptoms, but root causes of modern disease. Addressing these factors calls for more than short-term treatment. It requires a shift toward long-term, preventive care. This is where the idea of “Food as Medicine” is gaining real momentum – and with it, one of the most promising tools in natural healthcare: plant-based functional oils.
These oils are rich in phytonutrients – naturally occurring bioactive compounds found in seeds, herbs, and spices. Unlike synthetic drugs that typically act on a single pathway, phytonutrients are pleiotropic – they work across multiple biological systems simultaneously. Research shows they help regulate inflammation, support mitochondrial function, repair DNA, strengthen immunity, and even aid in hormonal and metabolic balance. In other words, they don’t just suppress symptoms. They help the body restore itself at a deeper level.
But for these benefits to take effect, how they’re delivered matters. Many nutrients lose their potency through poor absorption or degradation. Plant oils offer a superior delivery system – they improve the absorption of fat-soluble compounds, shield sensitive bioactives from oxidation and moisture, and allow for sustained, targeted release within the body. This makes them not only potent but efficient and reliable carriers of nutrition, ideal for ongoing preventive care.
One company working to bring this science into everyday health solutions is Voll Sante Functional Foods & Nutraceuticals, founded in 2017 by Prof. Satya Dev Tiwari. After two decades in the pharmaceutical industry and a stint in academia at NMIMS, Satya became a firm believer in nutritional medicine. He saw the limitations of drug-based approaches to chronic illness and committed instead to developing natural, plant-based interventions that address root causes rather than just symptoms.
Voll Sante’s range of functional oil-filled HPMC capsules is an example of this vision in action. Instead of relying on conventional gelatin capsules – often derived from animal collagen and laced with preservatives, plasticizers, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals – Voll Sante uses a cleaner, safer alternative: plant-based hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC). These vegetarian capsules are free from plasticizers, preservatives, allergens, starch, and gluten, and are suitable for those following vegetarian or vegan lifestyles.
What goes into the capsules is equally deliberate. While most supplements are made from powdered leaves or extracts, this format often results in lower concentration of bioactives, inconsistent dosing, and poor absorption – especially for fat-soluble compounds. Powders are also more prone to degradation from moisture, air, and light, and typically require synthetic excipients or binders to aid in controlled release.
In contrast, Voll Sante has formulated its supplements using plant-based functional oils – a medium that not only provides higher bioactive density, but also protects delicate compounds from oxidation and environmental damage. Oils enable better absorption of fat-soluble nutrients and ensure a slower, more targeted release in the body. This translates into more consistent, bioavailable dosing – a key advantage when dealing with chronic health conditions that require long-term, systemic support.
Each of their capsules contain a powerful blend of oils such as Black seed, Pumpkin seed, Moringa, Fenugreek, Turmeric, Ginger, Garlic, and Hing – each known for its unique therapeutic properties. These oils are rich in phytonutrients like flavonoids, phytosterols, and saponins that work across multiple systems, helping to regulate inflammation, support hormonal balance, boost immunity, and reduce oxidative stress. They also play a role in improving heart health, joint mobility, digestion, skin health, and cognitive function, making the formulation both broad-spectrum and targeted.
Among these, Black seed oil, in particular, has shown promising clinical outcomes. A 2021 study involving participants with high blood pressure found that those taking black seed oil twice daily for eight weeks saw significant improvements in blood pressure, lipid profile, blood sugar, and oxidative stress markers – all closely linked to metabolic syndrome. The same study also observed an increase in HDL (good cholesterol) and Glutathione Reductase, an important antioxidant enzyme. These results support the use of black seed oil not just as a supplement, but as a valuable adjunct to conventional treatment for lifestyle-related disorders.
As India faces the twin burdens of rising chronic illness and unsustainable healthcare costs, Voll Sante is offering an alternative – one that’s grounded in nature, supported by science, and designed for everyday use. Through its functional oil capsules, the brand is making plant-based nutrition not just acceptable, but essential.
Experts Push for Timely Stroke Rehab and PMR Integration
New Delhi, July 7, 2025: On the occasion of PMR Day, leading neurologists and rehabilitation experts in Delhi are urging urgent integration of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) into India’s stroke care protocols. With stroke now the second leading cause of death and third leading cause of disability in the country, doctors stress that rehabilitation within the first 90 days is essential—not just for survival, but for full functional recovery.
“Stroke is a race against time—not just during the attack, but long after hospital discharge,” said Dr. (Prof.) Man Mohan Mehndiratta, Principal-Director and Senior Consultant, Neurology, BLK-Max Centre for Neurosciences. “While emergency response has improved through ACT FAST awareness, post-stroke recovery remains poorly structured. Without targeted rehabilitation, patients may survive—but lose their independence, speech, or memory.”
Stroke is increasingly affecting younger people in urban centres like Delhi, fueled by rising rates of hypertension, chronic stress, and sedentary lifestyles. According to the India Hypertension Control Initiative (ICMR-WHO, 2023), one in four Indian adults is hypertensive, yet only 12% have it under control.
Experts are now calling for broader adoption of PMR, a multidisciplinary medical specialty that supports recovery after stroke, spinal cord injuries, and head trauma. PMR combines robotic-assisted therapy, speech and occupational therapy, cognitive retraining, and psychological support, all under a structured, evidence-based roadmap led by rehabilitation physicians.
“Rehabilitation is not just exercise—it’s a guided, clinical process,” said Dr. Amit Tomar, Lead Consultant – PMR, HCAH. “The brain’s plasticity is highest in the first three months post-stroke. Every day of delay narrows the window for recovery.”
HCAH (HealthCare atHOME) has built India’s most advanced post-acute neuro-rehabilitation network, with seven specialised PMR centres across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Kolkata. These centres offer India’s fastest recovery outcomes, combining specialist-led care with cutting-edge technology.
“These numbers reinforce the importance of timely, specialist-led rehab,” said Dr. Gaurav Thukral, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer, HCAH. “We’ve built a national network of PMR-led neuro-rehab centres that combine clinical expertise with robotic gait therapy, gamified recovery tools, and daily milestone tracking. HCAH is among the only organisations in India delivering recovery this fast, this consistently.”
In a recent HCAH survey, only 40% of respondents could identify stroke symptoms before hospitalisation. Yet among patients who received structured inpatient rehabilitation, 92% regained core functional abilities within three months. In contrast, 70% of those on unstructured home care took over four months to regain basic functions like speech and mobility.
Patient stories underscore these outcomes. A 69-year-old woman in Delhi, left minimally conscious after a major stroke, recovered mobility and speech after three months of structured PMR care. A 19-year-old student with locked-in syndrome regained facial movement and communication through HCAH’s neuro-rehabilitation program.
As stroke cases rise, experts are calling on national and state health authorities to take bold action:
• Embed PMR into every stroke treatment protocol
• Expand insurance coverage for inpatient rehab
• Train more PMR specialists and rehab teams
• Establish dedicated neuro-rehabilitation centres in both public and private healthcare systems
“Rehabilitation is not optional—it’s essential,” said Dr. Mehndiratta. “Survival should not be the end goal. Recovery with dignity must become the new standard.”

Autism & Society: How Misconceptions Hurt More… Than the Condition
Dr. Sindhu M.V., Consultant – Paediatrics & Paediatric Intensive Care, Aster RV Hospital
Autism affects 1 in 100 children in India. The Indian Academy of Paediatrics estimates that approximately 3% of India’s population is on the autism spectrum. But myths, stigma, and lack of awareness continue to cloud public understanding. It’s time to change that. Every child is unique — but some experience and respond to the world differently. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one such condition that influences how a person thinks, communicates, and relates to others.
What is Autism & Why is it Called a Spectrum?
Autism is not a disease; It is a neurodevelopmental condition. The brain of an individual with autism develops differently, affecting social interaction, communication, behavior, and how they perceive the world. The term “spectrum” is used because no two people with autism are the same. Some may face significant challenges in speaking or socializing, while others may live independently and excel in specific areas. Understanding autism is just the first step but how can parents, teachers, or caregivers know if a child might be on the spectrum? It all begins with noticing the early signs.
Early Signs & Diagnosis Early detection is key. Parents and caregivers should watch for signs typically emerging between 12 to 24 months.
Common early signs include:
• Delayed speech or language development
• Limited eye contact
• Lack of interest in social interaction
• Repetitive behaviour (like hand-flapping, spinning)
• Sensitivity to sounds, lights, or textures.
If you notice these signs in your child, don’t panic. It doesn’t mean something is ‘wrong’ — it simply means your child may need extra support.
The next step is to consult a developmental specialist, or child psychologist who can assess your child’s behaviour and guide you further. There are no blood tests or brain scans to confirm autism. Specialists use tools like the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) or the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) for diagnosis. Causes & Debunking Myths. The question many parents ask is — Why? Science does not point to a single cause.
Research indicates that autism results from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Family history, certain gene mutations, advanced parental age, or complications during pregnancy may increase risk. Recent research has shown that the “amygdala” — the part of the brain involved in processing emotions – develops differently in autistic children. This may partly explain why they struggle with social cues or emotional connections. However, scientists caution that the amygdala is just one piece of a much larger puzzle.
Autism is not caused by one single brain difference. It involves multiple areas and complex neural networks. Understanding autism helps shift the conversation from “what’s wrong” to “how can we better support and understand.”
Debunking Common Myths:
• Vaccines don’t cause autism. Many studies have proven this is false
• Parenting isn’t to blame. Autism isn’t caused by neglect or lack of love.
• Autism isn’t a disease or contagious. It can’t be “cured,” but the right support can help.

Fernandez Hospital Honors Doctors on the occasion of Doctors’ Day 2025
Hyderabad, 2 July 2025: On the occasion of Doctors’ Day, Dr Evita Fernandez, Chairperson and Managing Director of Fernandez Foundation honoured all the doctors fraternity reflecting on the quiet battles doctors fight each day — even as they bring life into the world and joy into families.
Speaking about the occasion Dr Evita said, “For many of us, doctors are superhumans, magicians, healers. For some, they are scapegoats, guardians, and mere strangers. Yes, they heal hearts, mend bodies, and bring life into this world. But behind those masks and white coats stands a human who feels, who experiences fears, loses, and wins. Their hearts ache when their patients cry. They carry the weight of lost lives and the grief they wrap in silence, but still show up to save another the next day and the days after. They are the absent fathers, mothers, partners and daughters, not because they didn’t care, but because they were fighting to keep someone else’s loved one alive.”
“At Fernandez, our doctors hold a special place in our hearts. They are warriors who fight everyday. Holding mothers’ hands, waiting for every newborn’s first cry, and working through the fears of families. Our doctors not just heal, they touch lives with compassion, respect, and skill. All they ask in return is your trust, your understanding, and a little kindness.” added Dr. Evita.
She and the whole team at Fernandez extended heartfelt Happy Doctors’ Day wishes to all the incredible doctors around the world who serve selflessly, care unconditionally, and bring hope into life.
