Abstract:

Introduction: Low back pain has prevalence of 6.2% in general population to 92% in construction workers in India. Current health system is not so much updated to rule out this entity early which tend to cause much more devasting medical conditions and economical expenses. This outcome generates an opportunity for Ayurveda to manage it with conservative treatment. Aims and objectives: To Compile the reference of KatisandhigataVata (Definition, Nidana, Lakshana and Chikitsa) mentioned in various classical texts and to evaluate the treatment modalities useful for the management. Discussion: Sandhi is a union of Asthi which is Ashrya of VataDosh so as its vitiation progress, its RuksaGuna also increases which lead to Dhatukshaya and Snehanash reduction. So Asthi and Sandhi related Vikaras also show progression. All the classics mentioned the use of Snehana and UpanahaKarma which will control RuksaGuna of Vatadosha. Result: Remedies mentioned in Ayurveda classics may boost up the options to manage it with less efforts, maximum benefits, and least side effects.

Abstract:

Introduction: Panchakarma(~five basic therapeutic procedures in Ayurvedic medicine) therapies, integral to Ayurvedic management, include Basti(~medicated enema), targeting Vata imbalances. Piccha Basti, a subtype, employs a standardized blend of honey, raw sugar, clarified butter, medicinal paste, and herbal decoction. It addresses gastrointestinal disorders like diarrhoea and inflammatory bowel disease.Method: The study reviewed classical Ayurvedic texts including Brihatrayee and Laghutrayee and conducted a comprehensive search across various databases and journals such as PubMed, JAIM, ResearchGate, etc. for information on "Basti" and "Piccha Basti". Individual constituent drugs of Piccha Basti were also investigated. Relevant articles were critically analyzed to draw conclusions.Result: Basti(~medicated enema), administered rectally, targets the colon, primarily affected by Vatadosha in classical texts. It acts on Vatadosha, Pitta, and Kaphadosha, maintaining equilibrium. The Virya(potency) spreads systemically, exhibiting local and systemic effects. Picchabasti constituents, predominantly Madhur(sweet), Tikta(pungent), and Kashaya(astrigent), possess properties like Picchil(~viscous), Sangrahi (~absorbent), Raktashodhaka (~hemostatic), Shonitasthapana (~blood-staunching), Vranaropana (~wound-healing), and Shothahara (~antinflammatory), expediting gut healing. Picchil(~viscous) property protects the gut mucosa, while the Sangrahi(~absorbent) property regulates stool consistency. Raktashodhaka (~hemostatic) and Shonitasthapan(~blood-staunching) properties control bleeding, and Vranaropaka karma (~wound-healing) aids ulcer healing.Conclusion: In Ayurvedic literature, Piccha Basti is lauded for its therapeutic efficacy in treating conditions such as Atisara (diarrhoea), Pravahika (dysentery), and Jirna Grahani (inflammatory bowel disease, IBD). Upon reviewing numerous articles detailing the constituents of Piccha Basti, it has been concluded that these components possess specific chemical constituents that exert a targeted effect on inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract:

Osteoporosis, or Asthikshaya, is a condition that affects a lot of people. Due to an increase in Ruksha and SheetaGuna, it typically affects the elderly. Asthidhatu (osteoporosis) has somewhat decreased as a result. It manifests as stiffness, joint discomfort, etc. The CharakSamhita mentions Rasonataila as a treatment for Vatavyadhi. Matrabasti is used to treat osteoporosis patients and is evaluated using criteria such as stiffness, low back pain, and the straight leg raise test. It had a significant impact on this patient. It is also known as Vatari because it lowers the sheeta and rukshaguna of the Vatadosha. In addition to being cost-effective, this study can be conducted with a large sample size.

Abstract:

Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is the most common lumbar spinal disorder that produces low back pain and/or leg pain. A herniated disc is a displacement of disc material (nucleus pulposus or annulus fibrosis) beyond the intervertebral disc space. LDH may be correlated with Katigraha in Ayurveda on the basis of clinical features of the disease where Vatadosha with or without Aamadosha settles in Katipradesh (lumbar region). and cause pain and stiffness. In the present study 6 patients of lumbar disc herniation were advised the treatment modalities like Shampakadi Niruha Basti along with Rasnaerandadi Kashayam and Trayodasang Guggulu orally for 16 days which was found very effective in relieving the sign and symptoms of LDH.

Abstract:

The term ‘Vedana’ (Samvedo Vedana) is pain, stimuli or sensation with synonym Ruja, Peeda, Dukh, Shool and it is a subjective feeling. The strength of pain varies from person to person, period to period, and site to site. Pain/Vedana, predominantly caused by Vatadosha and it is a pathological symptom. There is confusion between some terms that are related to Pain/Vedana, stimuli, i.e., Angamarda Prashamanam, Shoolprashamana and Vedanasthapana. The contents of Vedanasthapana Mahakashaya, mentioned in Charaka Samhita, revealed outstanding abilities to alleviate pain, regardless of its cause. This paper aims to scrutinize all the aspects of term Vedana, Vedanasthapana karma and conditions where this Karma is benefited which display valuable insights into the multifaceted mechanisms through which pain/Vedana can be effectively established in Supti (sensation less/loss) conditions by one of the drugs of Vedanasthapan Mahakashaya Padmak.

Abstract:

Arditais a medical condition causing the Vakratha[deviation] of Mukha ardha and leads to facial asymmetry and malfunction. It occurs due to aggravated Vatadosha. It has been included in Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi. It can be correlated to facial palsy in modern which carries similar complaints to Ardita of deviation of half of the face with sensory & motor impairment on the affected side. Acharya Sushruta and Charaka mentioned Nadi sweda in the Ardita chikitsa sootra. The modified form of Nadisweda itself is Ksheera Dhooma. As there is a weakness of Facial nerve in Bell’s palsy and the same moist heat is indicated in Bell's palsy by modern medicine. This effect is ensured by Swedana and it has the capacity to stimulate the nerve centres and increases the tactile sensibility. It is seen that Ksheeradhooma is having good efficacy on Ardita.

Abstract:

Basti is a medical practice in Ayurveda when the medicine is administered anally. In ancient times, doctors would administer medicinal emesis using the urine bladders of sheep, cows, and buffalo. Acharya Charka consideredBasti as Ardha chikitsa invata Pradhan diseases.The closest aperture is the anus, and the main location of the vatadosha is the Pakwashaya (big intestine). Once excessive doshas are eliminated through the anus, the drug administered this way acts on the enlarged dosha to return it to a homeostatic state.For Vata kaphapradhan illnesses,Acharya Charaka has prescribed HapushadiYapana Basti.Both sickness and its symptoms can be cured with Basti.HapushadiYapana Basti, a subtype of Asthapana Basti, possesses the ability to nourish life and encourage longevity.Yapana Basti carries out both the Shodhana and Snehana functions, which are completed by Niruha and Sneha Basti, respectively. Swastha, Atura, and Vruddha all make reference to it, suggesting that it is a preventive, curative, and primordial practice. It can be given to all age groups and in all seasons at all times.

Abstract:

Numerous portions of the Charaka Samhita deal with urological problems. Since the Vedic time, the Mutrarogas have existed. Mutraghata is a Vatadosha illness that affects the majority of people. Mutra Vaha Srotas (MVS) diseases affect a large number of people. Any physician should be familiar with Nidana, Samprapti, Lakshanas, Sadhya-Asadhyata, Upadrava, and Chikitsa. It has been determined by Acharya Dalhana that the Mutraghata clinical body is MVS through the relative anuria or oliguria urinary retention. The obstruction of urine (Mutraghata) is a sickness, and the cardinal feature of urine is the obstruction of the urine. In other words, urine retention (UR) might be caused by urinary tract inflammation or obstruction. Also, such effect employed as the Mutra vaha Srota's Nidana of Mutraghata. The doshas deteriorate as a result of this reason. It's mostly due to the vata Dosha. The vitiated dosha combines with pee, obstructing urine flow. In Ayureveda phrases, Mutraghata is complex and misunderstood concept. This article highlights the various aspects of Mutraghata related to Ayurveda.

Abstract:

Essentially, Ayurveda is the science of life and longevity. Aging is a process marked by physical, mental and social changes in several dimensions. In present scenario, due to increase in aged people population, the medical science deal with aged population and the diseases occurring in that population. The Ayurvedic approach to geriatrics gives top priority to vatadosha as the main factor in the pathophysiology of aging. Rasadi Dhatus degrade in aging due to structural and functional changes. By using Rasayana we can increase the quality of Rasadi dhatu or tissues by also keeping strotases clean sturdy as the nutrition needed to be carried from one place to other place in the body .Thus Rasayan is considered helpful for optimum tissue health in old age, however they can be maintained and rejuvenated. The Rasayana therapy works primarily on nutrition dynamics and rejuvenates the body on both a mental and physical level. The Swabhavika Vyadhis include aging (Jara). Jara Chikitsa is one of the Ashtanga of Ayurveda and jarachikitsa is included under Rasayanatantra which is a specific branch in Ayurveda.

Abstract:

Immunity is a protective mechanism of the body; weak immunity may give rise to so many health conditions. The immunity of the person cannot be defined by personal appearance, as a lean body person may have stronger immunity compared to an obese person. The immunity depends upon proper nourishment of body tissues and lack of proper nourishment leads to a decrease in the person strength and lifespan. Sthoulya is one of the conditions where there is increased nourishment of only Medadhatu with lack of nourishment of other Rasadidhatu which further give rise to so many complications. Rasayana is one of the peculiar concepts of Ayurveda known for its Rejuvenation, Immunebooster, and antioxidant properties. As the name itself suggests it is the procedure with specific dravyas for the nourishment of Rasadidhatu. In Sthoulya as it is vruddi (Increased) of Shleshma, Vatadosha and Medadhatu with lack of nourishment of other dhatu occur so the use of Dravya having Rasayana, shleshmahara, Medohara and Vatagna properties are more beneficial.

Abstract:

Joint pain is a world wide problem. Almost 70 to 80% of the world population suffer from it. Statistical analysis shows that by the age of 60 to 75 years, 80% of the population shows radiographic evidences of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis of the knee joint is characterised by gradual increase of pain in the joint, ‘grating’ may be felt or heard on movement. A plain radiograph is the only useful investigation. This may show some typical features of osteoarthritis, namely focal narrowing of joint space, marginal osteophyte, subchondral sclerosis cysts and osteochondral bodies. According to Ayurveda it is coined as Sandhigatavata where in Vata takes on the sandhisthana, it leads to the degeneration of asthi dhatu and decreases shleshaka kapha disturbing the normal structure and functions of the joints involved. As age advances Vatadosha triggers and accelerates dhatukshaya and balakshaya. Sandhigatavata is a madhyama rogamarga vyadhi involving the sandhi marma. Dhatukshaya in highly prevalent in vriddhavastha. Thus the involvement of Marma, Madhyama roga marga, vata dosha and dhatukshaya adds to the kashtasadhyata of the disease.

Abstract:

Childhood Obesity is a serious medical condition that occurs when a child is having weight above the normal weight for his/her age and height. Numerous factors like sedentary lifestyle, improper dietary habits, day sleeping etc can worsen this disease. This disease does not only affect children`s physical health but also disturb their academic performance and social life. In classical texts of Ayurveda, obesity is mentioned as Sthaulya. In Ayurveda, Sthaulya has been included in medoroga (accumulation of excess fat in body) and counted as santarapanajanya vikara and rasapradoshaja vikara. Sthaulya is a condition in which abnormal and excessive accumulation of medodhatu occurs in various body parts like abdomen hips etc. Sthaulya is mainly caused by continuous intake of kapha and medo vardhak ahara and vihara viz. atiguru, atisnigdha, atisheeta, atinidra, atiaasana etc. which vitiate rasa dhatvagni, medodhatvagni, kaphadosha and vatadosha consequently.

Abstract:

Introduction: Ayurveda is one of the oldest medical systems comprising numerous medical concepts and hypotheses. Vatavyadhi is an important chapter described in all Samhitas. Vatavyadhi patients are increasing in day-to-day practice, so a clear understanding is necessary on its pathogenesis. Vatavyadhi occurs due to vitiation of Vatadosha. Vayu gets vitiated due to numerous factors staring from diet to various habits, used medicines, environmental changes, etc. Inside body Vayu gets vitiated and produces diseases either due to Dhatukshaya or Margavarodha. Materials and Methods: To analyze the Samprati (Pathogenesis) of Vatavyadhi from various Samhitas, contexts and the views of researchers are taken into consideration as method of the review. Discussion and Conclusion: Vatavyadhi is a group of special diseases which is produced due to aggravate Vata. Due to different etiological factors, Vata Prakopa occurs through Dhatukshaya and Margavarodha process which later produce Vatavyadhi. These pathological processes may be regarded as Vishista Samprati (Pathogenesis) of Vatavyadhi. During pathogenesis annoyed Vata may assemble with Pitta and Kapha, leading to modification of clinical features.

Abstract:

Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory condition of skin in youth. In Ayurveda, acne has been elaborated as one of the KshudraRogas (minor ailments). It is manifested in adolescence thus called as Yuvanpidika or Tarunyapitika. Symptoms of Mukhadushika show close resemblance with bacterial infection and inflam-matory factors of acne. According to Ayurveda, vitiation of Kaphadosha, VataDosha and RaktaDhatu lead to acne development. Kapha vitiation may resemble with excess sebum production, Vata vitiation may re-semble with hyperkeratinization and Rakta vitiation may resemble with inflammatory mediators in blood, play an important role in pathogenesis of acne. Both modern and Ayurvedic sciences have considered the use of topical as well as oral medications and their combinations for the treatment of acne. Modern medi-cations provide relief from acne vulgaris but cause noticeable side effects. In this study, 50 patients with symptoms of Yauvanapidika were treated in two groups. In Group A, patients were given local application of Shalmalyadilepa twice a day with milk, while in Group B patients were given 2 gm of Guduchyadivati thrice along with local application of Shalmalyadilepa. At the end of treatment, Group B showed better im-provement in comparison to Group A.

Abstract:

In Ayurveda, Abhyanga comes under the type of therapy called Snehana. It involves the application of oil with specific motions from the head to the toe with Dosha-specific, warm herb-infused oil. The oil is commonly premixed with herbs for specific conditions. It offers a range of benefits for the mind and body. It nourishes the body, prevents invasion by pacifying Vatadosha, and promotes strength in the body. Abhyanga can be done as a step of Panchakarma therapy as Poorvakarma (Pre–treatment) or Pradhana karma(main therapy). Ayurveda explains that herbal oil contains oil and water-soluble medicinal principles. These medicinal principles enter through the skin pores, become available for absorption at the end part of blood vessels called Srotas, and get absorbed into the blood, reach the target area, and exhibits their action. Hence our Acharya described Abhyanga in a very scientific, elaborate manner with definitions to timing, and duration of Abhyanga, indications and contraindications, and its effect on the body. Abhyanga with oil on a daily basis is not only beneficial to the skin but beneficial to the body. Hence, this study intends to discuss the details of Abhyanga from Ayurveda and modern points of view.

Abstract:

Amavatais currently the most prevalent disease, affecting a significant portion of the elderly population. The term Amavata comes from the words Ama and Vata. The state known as Ama is when different illnesses within the body have a harmful influence. Painful illness is the outcome of the Ama occupying Shleshmasthana (Asthisandhi) and combining it with Vatadosha. The clinical presentation ofAmavata closely mimics the unique variety of Rheumatological disorders called Rheumatoid Arthritis by their similarities in clinical features like pain, swelling, stiffness, fever, redness, general debility, and fatigue are almost identical to that of Amavata. Rheumatological disorder is a group of diseases with no specific medical management in any therapeutics. Amavata is one of the most challenging diseases for clinicians due to its chronicity, incurability, complications, and morbidity. Allopathic treatment provides symptomatic relief, but the underlined pathology remains untreated due to the absence of effective therapy. This gives rise to many side effects, toxic symptoms, adverse reactions, and more serious complications, such as organic lesions. The treatment procedures described are Langhan, Swedan, Tikta-Katu, Deepana, Virechana, Basti, etc. So, the present study deals with a systemic review of Amavata from all the classics of Ayurveda and its management.

Abstract:

Karnanada considered as illness caused due to vitiated VataDosha in which a person hears different types of sound in absence of any relevant external stimulus. Now days, it can be considered as tinnitus, a disease with mul- tifactorial etiology. It may be concerned with unhealthy condition of only ear, ear with head disease, only head disease or may be associated with general body condition. In tinnitus patient got ringing, buzzing or other type of sound in one or both ears which might be constant and inconstant often associated with hearing loss. In Ayurveda it is described as preliminary symptoms of hearing loss, which without treatment or with incomplete or improper treatment will progress towards hearing loss. In present scenario of electronic devices which produces electro- magnetic waves (which are harmful to ear including whole body organs), number of such type of cases are in- creasing frequently worldwide. Causes of tinnitus according to modern medicine is unclear or having multiple etiologies therefore treatment guideline of tinnitus in modern practice is not definite hence prognosis of disease also remains uncertain. But in Ayurveda prognosis and line of treatment of Karnanada is mentioned and we can achieve good and satisfactory result. Keywords: Karnanada, Tinnitus, Ayurveda

Abstract:

Grahani roga is the most common infection of gastro-digestive system and seen regularly in everyday practice. In our works of art Grahani is depicted as an Agni adhishthana. Any unsettling influence in the situation with agni prompts Grahani roga. Grahani roga is one among the Ashtamahagadas. Ayurveda depicted the distinction of Mana and Shareera and their indistinguishable and associated connection in the body. In Ayurveda separate Nidana panchakas are not clarified for Grahani roga, as Samanyanidana is material and mental variable of Grahani roga in general. Grahani roga is a prevalent Pitta Vatadosha and the mental element can be effectively be upset by Vata and Pitta Dosha. Both Ayurveda and contemporary science acknowledge the way that for better administration and avoidance of Grahani roga (IBS,) mental variables are playing a huge part. So to eliminate an infection from its root, the causative elements ought to likewise be perceived and precluded totally. With the thought of expanding rate gastro-digestive illness across the globe and world is looking forward towards Ayurveda for safe treatment modalities, it is fundamental for discover the viable helpful strategies from our science.

Abstract:

In Ayurveda, Basti is a medical procedure in which the drug is administrated through anal route. In ancient time physicians used urinary bladder of sheep, cow and buffalo for giving medicated enema as an instrument. In Ayurveda, there are three basic humours vata, pitta and kapha. Disturbance in the homeostatic condition of these humours cause diseased condition. There are certain procedures explained by acharyas where increased doshas should be eliminated through the nearest opening. The principal site of vatadosha is pakwashaya (large intestine) and the nearest opening is anus. Drug administrated through this route act on the increased dosha bring it in homeostatic condition after removing excessive doshas through the anus. Vata is the only motivating force in the body which is responsible for spreading doshas all over the body and Basti is the main treatment for vata disorders. Ayurveda students should learn to appreciate their practical value through experimental experience. In an age where validity of concepts is judged by their scientific relevance, establishing the scientific validity of Basti is a programme of significance. It requires practical application and translating concept into the idiom of modern biology and medicine. In this article we are trying to establish a relevant correlation in terms of mechanism of action with modern physiology.

Abstract:

Vatarakta is a disease explained in Ayurveda involving Vata Dosha imbalance affecting Rakta Dhatu, where the Vayu gets aggravated due to long distance rides on animals like elephants, camels, horses, and on the other hand Rakta or blood gets vitiated by the consumption of Lavana, Amla, Katu, Kshara etc. The Vata, whose passages are blocked by Rakta further undergoes vitiation and further contaminates the Rakta or blood. The blood vitiated by Vayu later burns the whole blood in the body and later gravitates towards thefoot. This vicious amalgamation of vitiated Vata and Rakta is called Vatarakta. Vatarakta can even be correlated to Gout on the basis of etiopathology. A 45 years old female patient approached the OPD with the chief complaints of: Right great toe pain, swelling along with discoloration. Right ankle joint pain, swelling along with burning sensation of b/l sole. Right wrist joint pain along with difficulty in movements & Generalised weakness was also seen. All the above complains were since 4 months. The patient was given completely Ayurvedic medicines such as Kaishor guggul, Amrutadi guggul, Sanshamani Vati, Guduchi kwath for oral consumption & Pinda Tail (Sukhoshna) for local application & sarvanganadisweda with dashmool kwath for 2 months, follow up was taken on every week for 2 months. The results were remarkably seen. Hence this study was taken to prove that Ayurvedic management has remarkable results in Vatarakta (Gout).

Abstract:

Movement is one of the important gifts of God to mankind. If the individual has proper movements then it is indicative of undisturbed health. In some disorders foot movement are impaired; Crack foot syndrome is one such disorder where the person is apparently healthy but unable to walk because of pain, bleeding coupled with itching. In Ayurveda, it is referred as Padadari. The disease involves the Vatadosha leading to dryness, cracks, and fissures. The symptoms may include Vedana, Kandu, Daha, Raktasrava. So, in case of Padadari Acharyas’ explained Snehan, Swedan, Siravyadha followed by Lepa are advised as line of treatment. So, in this study two modalities viz. Siravyadha and Lepa are selected. The study was carried out on 60 patients. These patients were divided into two groups A and B each of 30 patients. Group A patients received Madhusiktadi Lepa and group B received Siravyadha with Madhusiktadi Lepa. Considering thorough statistical analysis of various study parameters and patient responses to the treatment, it is observed that Group B treatment has shown relatively better performance than group A treatment. Group B treatment has shown 53.26% patients completely cured (76-100% cure) and 46.66% patients shown marked improvement which is between 51-75% cure. Whereas group A treatment has shown 39.9 % patients were completely cured (76-100% cure) and 60.0% marked improvement (51-75% cure).

Abstract:

Amavata is one of the common and most crippling joint disorders. It is a chronic, degenerative disease of the connective tissue mainly involving the joints. The clinical features of Amavata such as pain, swelling and stiffness of joints, fever and general disability are very much close to the Rheumatological disorder called rheumatoid arthritis. Ama associated with aggravated vata plays a dominant role in the pathogenesis of Amavata. According to its pathophysiology, one should treat the morbid doshas involve in are kapha and vata simultaneously. In the present study, four clinically diagnosed cases of Amavata with swelling of knee joints and morning stiffness , pain in multiple joints, raised rheumatoid factor and anti CCP factor are treated with Vaitarana basti along with Dhanwantara taila Matra basti on same day and changes are observed in subjective and objective criteria. Significant improvement is observed in reducing signs and symptoms of Amavata and in rheumatoid arthritis factor and anti CCP. Vaitarana basti eradicate Ama and kapha dosha as the drugs of Vaitarana basti having Ama pachaka, vatakapha shamaka and Anulomaka properties. On the other hand, Matra basti of Dhanwantara taila pacifies the vatadosha and reduced the pain and swelling. It also acts as neuroprotective, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic and anti-paralytic. The combination of Vaitarana basti and Dhanwantara taila Matra basti can be an effective treatment for Amavata.

Abstract:

Shalakya Tantra is also known as Jatrurdhva Tantra a branch of Ayurveda which deals with the diseases manifesting above clavicular region. Aacharya Susrutha is the only person who explained Ophthalmology and ENT in a systematic manner in Uttara Tantra portion of his Sushruta Samhita. According to Ayurveda, Shrotrendriya originates from Akasha Mahabhoota. Shabda (sound) travelling through Vata in the presence of Aakasha (space) comes in contact with Shrotrendriya Adhishthana (Karna) and transmitted through Shrotrendriya to the Shravana Buddhi which is responsible for perception of sound. So, Vata plays important role in normal hearing procedure. The detailed description about the disease Badhirya is available in Brihatrayees and Laghutrayees of Ayurvedic classics. Badhirya is caused due to the vitiated Vata Dosha or Vatakapha Doshas by deranging or obstructing the Shabdavahasrotas (pathway of hearing) or Shabdavaha Sira (auditory nerve) gives rise to diminished hearing or incapability of hearing. Vataja Bhadirya can be nearly corelated to the concept of Sensorineural Hearing loss of alternative science where the age group of 60 years plus will be named with the deafness condition called Presbycusis. As the Vardhyakya stage in Ayurveda will be dominated with Vatadosha the Vata Vikriti Lakshanas are more in that age group with this reference we can consider Vataja Bhadirya Lakshanas are similar to the sign and symptoms of Presbycusis.

Abstract:

Moles are a commonest skin condition. They are usually small, dark brownish, black spots and are caused by groups of pigmented cells. Mole can appear anywhere on the skin either alone or in groups. They usually appear in childhood and adolescence. In Ayurvedic classics it is usually correlated with Masaka. Masaka (elevated mole) are caused by vitiated Vatadosha as painless, black gram colour elevated and stable identity. In the present study a male patient aged about 42 years came complaining of a blackish brown coloured growth with irregular margins present on right side of his face (infraorbital region). With time the discoloured growth gradually increased its size in last 15 years. In contemporary medicine various treatments of this condition are available but no promising management is updated till date. Keeping this in mind the patient was advised to undergo Agnikarma and Kshara karma. By help of Agnikarma the mass was excised and later Kshara was applied. Since moles usually reoccur after excision also, Application of Kshara plays a pivotal role here since it leaves less possibility for it to regrow. After the above said treatment patient was advised to apply Jatyadi tail which is very good Vrana Ropak. After the follow up of 2 months it was found that there was no reoccurrence. The aim of study is to highlight the role of Agnikarma and Kshara karma in Masaka with special reference to elevated mole.

Abstract:

Amavata is one of the most common diseases caused by the impairment of Agni (digestive fire) formation of Ama and vitiation of Vatadosha. Acharya chakradatta mentioned langhana, swedana and use of drugs having tikta, katu rasa and deepana properties, Snehapana, and Virechanakarma, which are free from side effects. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease causing chronic symmetrical polyarthritis with systemic involvement of unknown. Although there are a variety of systemic manifestations, the characteristic feature of RA is persistent inflammatory synovitis, usually involving peripheral joints, which is a symmetric distribution. The potential of synovial inflammation to cause cartilage destruction, bone erosion, and joint deformities is the hallmark of the RA. The treatments are advised in modern medicine, whereas anti-inflammatories, analgesics, steroids, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, immunosuppression therapies, and long-term use lead to many side effects. A 50year's old female was suffering from multiple joints pain with swelling, severe morning stiffness, restricted movements, malaise, and mandagni (poor appetite) for the past 5½ year, Considering the signs and symptoms, patient was treated on the line of Aamavata. The administration of Trivrut Avaleha did Langhana, Deepana-Pachana, Ruksha Swedana, Snehapana, and Virechana karma were done along with oral drugs for 30 days. Before starting the treatment, the grading was done based on subjective criteria, and after treatment, the grade was reduced. This case was successfully treated. Marked improvement was observed in signs and symptoms after treatment. No side effects were observed during or after the treatment.

Abstract:

Milk secreted from stana for the nourishment of baby is stanya. It is suitable for proper nourishment, growth and strengthening of body constituents in infants. The physical and mental development of baby depends upon stanya Being formed from rasadhathu, stanya will be easily vitiated by the diet and regimen of the mother. Different types of digestive disorders and all other causes of rasadhatu dushti will afflict the equilibrium of dhathus in mother and thereby the vitiation of stanya will occur.The normal colour, odour, taste and consistency of stanya will change during vitiated condition. The vitiated breast milk is not fit to feed the baby. If it is given, the child will be afflicted by various types of diseases. Acharya Charaka has explained eight types of stanyadushti based on the predominance of doshas. The predominance of Vatadosha will cause virasa, phenasanghata and kshina in stanya and the predominance of pitha causes vaivarnya and dourgandhya and the predominance of Kapha causes paichilya and gourava. Vitiated stanyapana will cause various diseases like emaciation, delayed growth, weakness, anaemia, vomiting, lethargy etc.in child. According to Vagbhata, the breast milk vitiated by the tridoshas causes jvara, kasa and chardi etc. By considering all these facts, it is found that breast milk serves as an elixir for the babies but if vitiated it will be prime cause of diseases. This paper reviews the concepts of stanyadushti as described in the Brihatrayi and the diseases caused by vitiated stanya, highlighting the importance of maintaining the purity of breast milk for the health of the infant.

Etiological factors like, Aghat, Yanayana, Jalkrida Vishamashanam, Ajirnashana, Adhyashana, Diwaswap, consumption of Lavana, Amla, Katu, Kshara and Vidhahi food etc, Vata and Rakta get vitiated and Rakta causes Margavrodha to Vata and the disease Vatarakta occurs. The Rakta gets vitiated by Vatadosha later gravitates towards the foot and small joints. This vicious amalgamation of vitiated Vata and Rakta is called Vatarakta. Vatarakta can even be correlated to Gout on the basis of etiopathology. A 54-year-old male patient approached the OPD with the chief complaints of: Right great toe swelling, pain along with mild discoloration. Left feet small joints pain with burning sensation without swelling. Right elbow joint pain while movements. General weakness was also seen. All the above complaints were in the last 6 months. The patient gets partial relief in symptoms with febuxostat and pain killers which precipitate in hyperacidity and disturbed bowel. So patients are willing to avoid allopathy medicine. In our Panchakarma IPD patient was given combination of Ayurved medicines and Panchakarma therapy as schedule of Guduchi ksheer basti (Enema with drugs having Guduchi, Milk) for 15 days, and later was shifted on Ayurveda Shaman medicines on discharge for further 2 weeks and the results were remarkably seen. Hence this study was taken to prove that Ayurvedic management has remarkable results in Vatarakta (Gout). Observation and results were drawn on the basis of assessment criteria.

Abstract:

The statement “The inequalities of basic constituents in the body are the root cause for different diseases” is the fundamental principle of the Ayurveda, which indicate the control of different fundamental elements in the body (Sharira) is the sign of good health and free from diseases. Ayurvedic remedies and therapies are found very effective and useful to sustain the equilibrium of these fundamental elements in the body. Vatarakta is a chronic joint and body pain disease accompanied by pain, stiffness, swelling over joints which involve vitiated Vatadosha as well as Raktadhatu. Aggravated Vata is blocked by vitiated Rakta, which leads to further aggravation of Vata Dosha. Vatarakta have two Avasthas i.e., Uttana and Gambhira. Uttana Vatrakta affects Twacha and Mansadhatu whereas Gambhira mainly affects Asthi, Majjadi Gambhira Dhatu. Nidan Panchak is one of the finest and important method of diagnosing disease, its causes & prognosis. Nidan Panchak consists of 5 components viz. Nidan, Purvarupa, Rupa, Upshaya & Samprapti. Every component of Nidan Panchak helps the physician for better understanding of disease growth & treating the disease at an earliest possible stage. Nidana Panchak is the main and important diagnostic tools in Ayurveda. The present life style not only disturb the healthy Aahar but Vihara also. Sedentary lifestyle along with mental stress, consumption of nonveg and highly protein diet, excessive alcohol intake are some of the causing factors which origins acute exacerbation of Vatarakta. The etiological factors responsible for Gouty arthritis, pathology and clinical features are quite similar to Vatarakta.

Abstract:

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in India. Stroke is a heterogeneous group of disorders. The medical field has faced significant challenges in treating this disease. There is an abundance of information available regarding the cause, prevention, risk, and treatment of stroke. Even so, our understanding of stroke treatment remains limited; there is currently no satisfactory and widely accepted treatment for stroke. Researchers in both Ayurveda and modern fields are conducting numerous studies to improve the management of cerebrovascular accidents (CVA). Ayurveda describes stroke (CVA) as Pakshaghata. Pakshaghata, also known as Nanatmaja vatavyadhi, arises due to vataprakopa. It affects the sira and snayus of half the body parts, as well as the face. In hemorrhagic conditions, vitiated vatadosha, pitta, and raktdushti are the main causes of pakshaghata. The study's goal was to assess the effects of ayurvedic treatment on pakshaghata. Sharia regards Vata as the controller of all the Tridoshas. Vatavyadhi is the influence of vitiated Vata on the Dushyas, which penetrates the entire body or a part of it and causes various ailments. Material and Methods:A case study of CVA was admitted, with the patient presenting with complaints of drowsiness, difficulty walking, slurred speech, heaviness of the affected side of the body, pain, stiffness, bladder incontinence, and slurred speech. Upon examination, the Glasgow Coma Scale was 14/15 (E -3, M-5, V-6), and a CT scan of the brain revealed an intraparenchymal haemorrhage in the left gangliocapsular region, measuring 3.3 x 5.1 x3.5 cm. The case was diagnosed as Pakshaghata with Pittavatavruta, in conjunction with laboratory investigations. Various stages of the disease were treated with oral medications, including Snehan, Swedan, Shirodhara, Nasya, Yapan basti, Shashtikshali pindswed, Mruduvirechana, and Jivhanirlekhana. Additionally, physiotherapy sessions were implemented on a consistent basis. Observation and Result: After successfully combining shaman treatment and Panchakarma treatment for consecutive times, the patient got complete relief in all complaints. Before treatment NIH-Stroke Scale was 17 & Barthel index scale was 15 and after the treatment NIH-Stroke Scale was 4 & Barthel index scale was 70 providing symptomatic relief too.

So Asthi and Sandhi related Vikaras also show progression. All the classics mentioned the use of Snehana and UpanahaKarma which will control RuksaGuna of Vatadosha. Result: Remedies mentioned in Ayurveda classics may boost up the options to manage it with less efforts, maximum benefits, and least side effects.
