In Ayurveda, Astigmatism can be related to <em>Prathama Patalagata Timira</em> based on its <em>Lakshanas</em>.<strong> Methods: </strong>20 patients of Astigmatism in each group were selected from the OPD and IPD of the <em>Shalakya Tantra</em> department of SKAMCH, Bengaluru. Patients of Group A were given <em>Tarpana</em> with <em>Mahatriphaladi Ghrita</em> for 7 days and patients of group B were given <em>Nasya</em> with <em>Abhijita Taila</em> for 7 days.<strong> Results: </strong>Overall the effect of treatment was statistically highly significant for both <em>Tarpana</em> and <em>Nasya</em> on all the parameters. Within the group analysis on comparing the t- values, Group A has shown better results on all the parameters. Though both groups showed highly significant differences within the group analysis; in between the groups, effect of treatment on <em>Avyakta Darshana</em> and eye strain showed significant differences, visual acuity and dioptric value showed highly significant difference and non-significant difference on headache.<strong> Interpretation and Conclusion: </strong>The clinical study statistically proved that <em>Tarpana </em>with <em>Mahatriphaladi Ghrita</em> was more effective in comparison to <em>Nasya</em>. <em>Tarpana</em> provides increased tissue contact time and bioavailability of the medicines. By virtue of its procedural effect, medicines effect and the pressure exerted; it improves the visual acuity and dioptric power of the cornea.</p> 2024-09-28T22:36:59+0530 Copyright (c) 2024 Vachana S Devappa, Sujathamma K https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/3591 A Prospective, Open-label, Non-randomised Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Cholecurb in the Treatment of Dyslipidemia 2024-09-29T22:15:34+0530 Aniket Mahajan regulatory@charak.com Milind Patil regulatory@charak.com Sandip Mali regulatory@charak.com Nikhil Chaudhari regulatory@charak.com <p><strong>Objectives:</strong> To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Cholecurb Tablets in Dyslipidemia. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> A prospective, interventional clinical study was conducted on 55 patients, aged between 18-55 years, confirmed with dyslipidemia and who were willing to give informed consent. All patients received Cholecurb Tablets at a dose of two tablets four times in a day for four weeks. All patients were evaluated at baseline, 45 and 120 days for parameters of fasting plasma lipid profile. The Physician’s global assessment and Patient’s global assessment (at end of the study) on efficacy and tolerability were made on a scale of 1- 5, namely, Very Good = 5, Good = 4, Fair = 3, Poor = 2 and Very Poor = 1. <strong>Observation and Results:</strong> Cholecurb Tablets significantly improved all lipid outcomes at both 45 days and 120 days after onset of treatment. There were no significant differences in the laboratory findings at baseline, 45 days and 120 days. The global assessment of response by physicians showed that 72% of patients showed a good improvement while another 16% showed very good improvement in their condition by the end of 120 days of treatment. Similarly, 58% and 31% of the patients’ global assessment indicated good and very good response at the end of treatment, respectively. These findings confirm the efficacy of Cholecurb Tablets in the study population during the study period. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Cholecurb Tablets typically lowered LDL, TG, TC and elevated HDL, assessed at baseline, 45 days and 120 days.

It causes painful restriction, with significant loss of range of motion of the shoulder joint. As there is no promising and satisfactory treatment available in modern system of medicine. <em>Panchakarma</em> provides effective treatment through <em>Shodhana </em>therapy. <em>Acharya Charaka</em> has recommended <em>Snehana- Swedana</em> for the treatment of <em>Vata- Kaphaj</em> disorder. <strong>Methods: </strong>40 patients of <em>Avabahuka</em>, were randomly divided into two groups, Group A received <em>Sthanik Abhyanga</em> with <em>Sthanik Patra Pinda Swedana</em> and Group B <em>Sthanik Abhyanga </em>with <em>Sthanik Parisheka </em>for 7 days. With help of assessment tools and gradation of symptoms, the findings of research work were statistically analysed. <strong>Results: </strong>Results of this study shows that both the study group were effective in reliving the symptoms of <em>Avabahuka, Sthanik Patra Pinda Swedana</em> was found statistically significant in comparison with, <em>Sthanik Parisheka. </em><strong>Discussion: </strong>Two group of <em>Swedana Karma</em>, showed recovery from the symptoms of <em>Avabahuka </em>efficiently. This study shows that, <em>Patra Pinda Swedana</em> provide better result in comparison with <em>Sthanik Parisheka</em>. Hence it can be said that <em>Patra Pinda Swedana</em> has its own effect also in relieving <em>Avabahuka.</em></p> 2024-09-29T15:03:59+0530 Copyright (c) 2024 Ruchi Juyal, Ketan Mahajan, Atul Kumar Agrawal https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/3595 Evaluation of Rasnadi Kwatha Sadhita Ksheera Basti (Modified Kala Basti Schedule) in Asthimajjagata Vata (Avascular Necrosis of Hip Joint) 2024-09-29T22:15:34+0530 Pankaj Singh ps758367@gmail.com Shivani Mahajan ps758367@gmail.com Praphull Goyal ps758367@gmail.com Ketan Mahajan ps758367@gmail.com <p><em>Asthimajjagata Vata</em> (Avascular necrosis of the hip joint) is a progressively common cause of musculoskeletal debility and it’s bearing a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, although patients are initially asymptomatic or with mild symptoms, avascular necrosis of the femoral head usually progresses to joint destruction, requiring total hip replacement, usually before the fifth stage. If the disease is untreated then the pain progressively increases and worsens with time and use of join. In the later stage pain increases on rest which may be worse during night and may be associated with morning stiffness also. The preventative, promotive, rejuvenating, and radical treatment qualities of <em>Panchakarma</em> make it a very special therapeutic process. In present study, 40 patients diagnosed with <em>Asthimajjagata Vata</em> (Avascular necrosis of the hip joint) were administered with 768 ml. <em>Rasnadi Kwatha Sadhita Ksheera Basti</em> with 96ml. of <em>Dhanvantara Taila</em> in modified <em>Kala Basti </em>schedule. Assessment was done on subjective parameters and obtained data was analysed using appropriated statistical tests and conclusion was made that the <em>Rasnadi Kwatha Sadhita Ksheera Basti</em> is significant in the cases of <em>Asthimajjagata Vata</em> (Avascular necrosis of the hip joint). The therapy provided Mild improvement in 77.50% and 20.00% of the patients were showed moderate improvement, no improvement was found in 2.50% patient. By this we can conclude that the drug is effective in controlling the <em>Asthimajjagata Vata</em> (Avascular necrosis of the hip joint), in short duration of therapy.</p> 2024-09-29T15:42:10+0530 Copyright (c) 2024 Pankaj Singh, Shivani Mahajan, Praphull Goyal, Ketan Mahajan https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/3596 A Comparative Clinical Study of Mustadiyapana Basti with and without Konch Beej Churna (Modified Kala Basti Schedule) in Kampavata (Parkinson’s Disease) - Research Article 2024-09-29T22:15:34+0530 Sneha Joshi docsj19@gmail.com Vikram Gupta docsj19@gmail.com Atul Kumar Agrawal docsj19@gmail.com Ketan Mahajan docsj19@gmail.com <p>Parkinson’s disease is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder impacting CNS and motor functions.

Shindhe roopalishindhe1@gmail.com Naveen V roopalishindhe1@gmail.com Seema Pradeep roopalishindhe1@gmail.com <p><strong>Introduction:</strong> <em>Grahani</em> is regarded as the seat of <em>Agni</em>, and their interdependent relationship underscores the need to preserve their integrity. <em>Grahani Roga</em> manifests with symptoms such as <em>Muhur Badham </em>and<em> Muhur Dravam Mala</em>. Earlier <em>Grahani</em> assessment scales are predominantly based on consistency of <em>Mala</em> rather than comprehensive <em>Lakshanas</em> of <em>Grahani Roga</em> and neither these scales were validated. Hence, development and validation of Refined <em>Grahani</em> Assessment Scale (RGAS) based on the <em>Lakshanas</em> of <em>Grahani Roga</em> is essential. <strong>Methodology: </strong>A thorough literature review and expert consultations were carried out to identify the most relevant signs and symptoms of <em>Grahani</em> disorders. Following this, the content was validated, questions were refined, and the questionnaire underwent pilot testing and validation. The finalized questionnaire was then prepared as a Google Form. The study results were used to assess the reliability of the questionnaire. <strong>Results:</strong> 235 participants participated in the survey, among whom 103 individuals were diagnosed with <em>Grahani Roga</em> according to specific criteria and the responses revealed validation and reliability of Refined <em>Grahani </em>Assessment Scale (RGAS). <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Currently, investigations into <em>Grahani Roga</em> focus on specific symptoms. To address this, the Refined <em>Grahani</em> Assessment Scale (RGAS) was developed. The creation and validation of RGAS represent a significant advancement in evaluating this condition. Applying this scale in research can enhance our understanding <em>Lakshanas</em> of <em>Grahani Roga</em> based on <em>Agni, Kosta, Nidra,</em> <em>Manas</em> and other systematic symptoms. Furthermore, its application in research can enhance understanding of <em>Grahani Roga</em>, leading to further progress in the field.</p> 2024-09-29T15:59:31+0530 Copyright (c) 2024 Roopali R.

Hiremath drnandini.hiremath@gmail.com <p><strong>Introduction:</strong> <em>Bala</em> is considered as the physical and mental strength of the individual. It can be assessed in healthy individuals as well as diseased. The <em>Shareerika Bala</em> in healthy individuals varies according to <em>Prakruti, Vaya, Kala</em>, <em>Desha</em> and others. <em>Deha Bala</em> of <em>Vata Pradhana </em>individuals have less <em>Bala, Pitta Pradhana</em> individuals have <em>Madhyama </em>and <em>Kapha Pradhana</em> individuals have more <em>Bala</em>. <em>Bala</em> can be assessed through one’s <em>Vyayama Shakti</em>. The optimum extent to which the <em>Vyayama</em> is to be performed is a question mark, as the <em>Bala</em> of <em>Shareera</em> varies in accordance with an individual and hence the <em>Vyayama Shakti</em>. To attain maximum benefits, practicing <em>Vyayama </em>to the optimum extent - <em>Ardhashakti</em> of <em>Vyayama</em> is of much importance. <strong>Methodology:</strong> In the present study 90 healthy individuals were made to run on electronic tread mill in <em>Pratha Kala</em> at a fixed speed for all and time taken to witness the <em>Ardhashakti Lakshana</em> and variations in the subjective and objective parameters were assessed statistically. <strong>Results:</strong> There is less time taken to attain <em>Ardhashakti Vyayama Lakshana</em> in <em>Vata Pradhana Prakruti</em> individuals i.e., 4.532 minutes, More time taken in <em>Kapha Pradhana Prakruti</em> individuals i.e., 6.191 minutes and time taken in <em>Pitta Pradhana Prakruti</em> individuals i.e., 5.562 minutes at ‘f’ value of 14.39 which is highly significant at p &lt;0.05, 95% confidence level. <strong>Discussion: </strong><em>Ardha Shakti</em> was more in <em>Kapha Prakruti</em>, less in <em>Vata Prakruti, Madhyama</em> in <em>Pitta Pradhana Prakruti</em> individuals. Hence the study established that <em>Shareerika Bala</em> was more in <em>Kapha Pradhana</em> <em>Prakruti </em>individuals than the <em>Pitta</em> and <em>Vata Pradhana Prakruti</em> individuals.</p> 2024-09-29T16:43:04+0530 Copyright (c) 2024 Nandini Hiremath, Raviraj Pardeshi, Maheshwarswamy K.

The health of a female starts in the foetal stage itself, which describes the measures to yield a healthy child. Just as the river is cleansed by its flow the women are purified by the menstrual flow. That is the reason for the non-susceptibility of women to many diseases. The regimens to be followed during menstrual and post-menstrual periods are well advocated in Ayurveda. Disregard to these regimens is the leading cause for many of the gynecological and systemic diseases in women. Anatomical defects of the reproductive system could be one of the commonest causes of bad obstetric history. As per ayurveda, important factors for conception are considered as <em>Ritu </em>(fertile period), <em>Kshetra</em> (uterus and reproductive organs), <em>Ambu </em>(Proper nutrient fluid) and <em>Bija </em>and also normalcy of <em>Hrdaya</em> (Psychology). From the time immemorial the phenomenon of infertility was prevalent throughout the world and this may persist till the human race exists. Failure to achieve conception by a couple within one year is termed as infertility. The historical importance of <em>Stri Vandhyatva</em> and a comparative study of <em>Nidan, Samprapti, Lakshana, Chikitsa</em> etc. compiled from various <em>Granthas like Harita Samhita </em>etc<em>. </em>are being presented in this study. One in every four couples in developing countries had been found to be affected by infertility. In India alone many women are suffering from infertility. The major causes are including male factor such as azoospermia, hypospadias, female factors such as such as peritoneal factor, tubal factor, ovarian factor, cervical factor. Sometimes unexplained causes are also explained. So, this article contents about the importance of <em>Artavavaha Srotas</em> in causing <em>Vandhyatava</em>, general awareness and clinically used various treatment modalities as per Ayurveda for female infertility has been explained.</p> 2024-09-29T16:53:40+0530 Copyright (c) 2024 Anjini M, Ramnihor Tapsi Jaiswal, Manohar Ram, Anjana Saxena https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/3600 Ayurvedic Insights into Gut Microbiome Dynamics - On Trayopastambha Perspective 2024-09-29T22:15:35+0530 Chippy Soman dr.chippysoman@gmail.com Marikutty TC dr.chippysoman@gmail.com <p>The gut microbiome is a crucial ecosystem of microorganisms residing in the digestive tract, influencing various aspects of human health. Composed predominantly of bacteria from the Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes phyla, alongside viruses, fungi, and protozoa, it plays essential roles in digestion, nutrient synthesis, immune regulation, and protection against pathogens.<strong><sup>[1] </sup></strong>This complex community interacts extensively with the host, impacting metabolic processes, immune responses, and even mental health through the gut-brain axis. Maintaining a balanced gut microbiome is pivotal for efficient digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall well-being.<strong><sup>[2]</sup></strong> Diet profoundly shapes the gut microbiota composition; a diverse diet rich in fiber, fruits, vegetables, and fermented foods promotes microbial diversity and health, while diets high in processed foods and sugars can lead to dysbiosis, characterized by an imbalance in microbial communities.<strong><sup>[3]</sup></strong>&nbsp;Lifestyle factors such as eating junk food, sleep patterns, stress levels, less physical activity, and medication use also influence the gut microbiome. Chronic stress and inadequate sleep can disrupt microbial balance and compromise gut health. Dysbiosis has been linked to various health conditions, including gastrointestinal disorders, metabolic diseases like obesity and diabetes, autoimmune disorders, allergies, and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.<strong><sup>[4]</sup></strong> Integrating&nbsp; knowledge from Ayurveda, which emphasizes the importance of <em>Trayopastamba</em> - diet (<em>Ahara</em>), sleep (<em>Nidra</em>), and regulated lifestyle (<em>Brahmacharya</em>) in maintaining&nbsp; gut microbiome health.<strong><sup>[5]</sup></strong> Ayurvedic practices advocate for a balanced diet tailored to individual <em>Doshas</em>, regular sleep patterns, stress management techniques, and a disciplined lifestyle, all of which contribute to maintaining a harmonious gut microbiome. By understanding and nurturing the gut microbiome through these integrated approaches, we can enhance overall health outcomes and prevent various diseases associated with microbial imbalance.</p> 2024-09-29T17:06:51+0530 Copyright (c) 2024 Chippy Soman, Marikutty TC https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/3566 Theoretical study and physical effect of Tandra (Drowsiness) and its treatment as per Ayurveda 2024-09-29T22:15:35+0530 Shailendra Kumar Tripathi shailendratripathidoct@gmail.com Ramnihor Tapsi Jaiswal shailendratripathidoct@gmail.com Manohar Ram shailendratripathidoct@gmail.com Premkant Yadav shailendratripathidoct@gmail.com <p>Sleepiness has been described in every place in our Ayurveda literatures, such as <em>Charak Samhita</em>, <em>Sushrut Samhita, Astanga Hridaya</em> and <em>Madhav Nidan</em> etc. It is described in every chapter of these literatures.&nbsp;&nbsp; In the Samhita, drowsiness is considered to be a phlegm-based disease, which is accompanied by <em>Gaurav</em>, weakness, lack of appetite and other <em>Phlegm</em> related symptoms.

Cancer remains a formidable challenge in modern medicine, characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and proliferation. While contemporary approaches focus on molecular and genetic mechanisms, traditional medical systems like <em>Ayurveda</em> offer holistic perspectives. In the human body, <em>Doshas</em> govern physiological and psychological functions, and their imbalance is considered pivotal in disease manifestation, including cancer. <em>Ayurvedic</em> principles emphasize personalized therapies aimed at restoring <em>Dosha</em> equilibrium through diet, lifestyle modifications, herbal remedies, and detoxification procedures. Integrating <em>Ayurvedic</em> insights with conventional cancer treatments holds promise for comprehensive patient care, potentially enhancing therapeutic outcomes and quality of life. The study aimed to establish the interface between cancer biology and <em>Ayurvedic</em> concepts, highlighting opportunities for synergistic approaches in combating this multifaceted disease. This paper explores the theoretical framework of <em>Ayurveda</em> and its potential implications for understanding the etiology, progression, and treatment of cancer (<em>Arbuda</em>).

The <em>Rakta</em> vitiated by <em>Vayu</em> will vitiate the <em>Rakta</em> in whole body later gravitates towards the foot. This vicious amalgamation of vitiated <em>Vata</em> and <em>Rakta</em> is called <em>Vatarakta</em>. The symptoms are first manifested in the small joints of the foot. Later it gradually spreads to the upper portions of the body causing itching, pain numbness etc. symptoms in all the joints of the hands and foot. The other joints of the body are also involved in the painful picture. In association of <em>Kapha</em>, this <em>Vatarakta</em> spreads throughout the body in quick time like rat poison. In the general population the prevalence of <em>Vatarakta</em> (Gouty Arthritis) is between 1.3 to 3.7 % and it is most common among men.

All medical graduates need to study research methodology and medical statistics to complete the graduation. We need to correlate Ayurvedic terminologies and concept with the modern terms and concepts to conduct research, which will results in the globalization of <em>Ayurveda</em>. Correlation is one of the topics from statistics, and examples along with the same concept are found in <em>Ayurvedic</em> classics. Correlation from biostatistics can be compared with the <em>Ashraya - Ashrayi Bhava</em> from <em>Ayurveda</em>. There is a moderately positive correlation between <em>Pitta Dosha </em>and <em>Rakta, Pitta</em> and <em>Sweda</em>. There is a moderately positive correlation between <em>Kapha Dosha</em> and <em>Rasa Dhatu, Kapha</em> and <em>Mamsa Dhatu, Kapha</em> and <em>Meda Dhatu, Kapha</em> and <em>Majja Dhatu, Kapha</em> and <em>Shukra Dhatu, Kapha</em> and <em>Mutra Mala, Kapha</em> and <em>Purisha Mala</em>.

The parameters such as pH, specific gravity, viscosity, refractive index, saponification values, acid value, iodine value, rancidity and peroxide value are used to evaluate the quality of <em>Sneha</em>. &nbsp;The present review is aimed to explore <em>Sneha Murchchhana</em> process, benefits and consequences on the quality control parameters of <em>Sneha</em>. For that, Ayurvedic literature, dissertation works and research articles available on websites related to <em>Sneha Murchchhana</em> have been reviewed. Based on the review it can be concluded that the physico-chemical characteristics of oil can be improved by using this process. Moreover, this process imparts good colour, odour, and antioxidant properties which are beneficial for heart health and also lower the risk of age-related muscular degeneration. In addition, it can be said that the decreased value of free fatty acid helps in increasing the stability of oil.</p> 2024-09-29T19:00:24+0530 Copyright (c) 2024 Darshita Sanchaniya, Bharti Umretia https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/3368 A conceptual study of Vachadi Gana, Haridradi Gana and Mustadi Gana of Sushruta for its Stanyashodhana Property 2024-09-29T22:15:36+0530 Shefali Rana riyarana11094@gmail.com Navneet Sharma riyarana11094@gmail.com Chandni Gupta riyarana11094@gmail.com <p><em>Stanya</em> is a major source of nourishment for infants up to the age of one year, according to <em>Ayurvedic texts</em>. <em>Stanya </em>has all the required nutrients for a baby's growth and development.

Acute ankle trauma accounts for ten to thirty percent of sports-related injuries in young athletes. Ankle sprain is characterized by pain, swelling with or without deformity of ankle joint. According to modern science treatment protocol available for ankle sprain is PRICE - Protocol i.e., Protection, Rest, Ice Compression and Elevation, ankle brace, below knee cast and ankle strap. Ankle sprains that are not adequately treated can result in long-term issues like discomfort, instability in the joint, and reduced range of motion. Acharya Sushruta advocates <em>Alepa </em>with <em>Shopgahara Dravya</em> and <em>Sandhaniya Dravya</em>. These <em>Dravyas</em> when used in the form of <em>Lepa</em> have the properties of <em>Sandhaniya, Shophahara</em> and <em>Vedanasthapaka </em>action.

It causes discomfort and limits movement in the affected joint. The <em>Sandhivata</em> (Osteoarthritis) may be a form of <em>Vatavyadhi</em>, which usually manifests in adulthood due to <em>Dhatukshaya</em> (emaciation of tissues). Among the <em>Vatavyadhi</em>, <em>Sandhivata</em> is one such clinical entity that affects locomotion; <em>Dhatukshaya</em> is a major factor in this condition, which is characterised by specific symptoms including joint discomfort, swelling, stiffness, painful and restricted joint movement, etc. Osteoarthritis (OA), the most prevalent degenerative joint disease, results in excruciating swelling and irreversible destruction to the body's joints. As of now, the molecular causes of OA remain unknown. The development of osteoarthritis (OA) is a diverse illness that affects the entire joint and changes a number of different tissues. Classics have listed several Ayurvedic formulations for treating <em>Sandhivata</em>, including <em>Kwatha</em>, <em>Guggulu</em> <em>Kalpana</em>, <em>Ghreeta</em>, <em>Taila</em>, <em>Gutika,</em> and <em>Rasa</em> <em>Aushadhi</em>, as well as <em>Panchakarma</em> procedures including <em>Abhyanaga</em>, <em>Swedana</em>, <em>Basti</em>, <em>Janubasti</em>, <em>Rasayana</em> therapy, and <em>Agnikarma</em>, along with these dietetics also plays a major role to reduce the disease severity.

They are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them significant in traditional diets and health food industries. In Ayurveda, millets are recognised for their balance-promoting characteristics and holistic benefits. Ancient writings like the <em>Charaka Samhita</em> and <em>Sushruta Samhita</em> outline their health advantages. Millets help reduce inflammation, regulate diabetes, and promote digestion due to their cooling and light properties. Finger millet is recognised for its high calcium content, pearl millet for its iron, making both excellent for bone health and anemia prevention. Their high fiber content also aids in controlling blood sugar and promoting cardiovascular health. <br><em>Kodrava</em> (Kodo millet) is acknowledged in <em>Ayurveda </em>for its medicinal and nutritional properties. It balances <em>Vata</em> and <em>Kapha </em>Doshas and is helpful for treating obesity, hemorrhoids, cough, poisoning, and skin diseases. Nutritionally, <em>Kodrava</em> is rich in protein, fiber, phosphorus, riboflavin, and niacin.

A significant but often overlooked complication of PCOS is its association with tubal infertility, resulting from issues such as tubal blockages or dysfunctions, making conception more challenging. Infertility affects roughly 1 in 6 people globally, with about 70% of women with PCOS experiencing infertility, and tubal factor infertility accounting for 25-35% of female infertility cases. This case study examines the management of tubal blockage and PCOS through Ayurvedic treatments. A 36-year-old married woman with a history of PCOS reports no significant issues over the past six years of marriage, with irregular menstrual cycles. Clinical findings from a USG revealed bilateral polycystic ovaries, and an HSG indicated a blockage in the right fallopian tube. This infertility case was treated with a combination of <em>Shodhana</em> and <em>Shamana Chikitsa</em> was given to resolve the underlying <em>Samprapthi </em>from 10/7/2022 to 26/7/2023. After 12 months of treatment, the tubal blockage was resolved, PCOS had decreased, and epileptic attacks were reduced. Additionally, the absence of Reidel's lobe of the liver was noted, and the fatty liver decreased from Grade II to Grade I. The patient received a positive urine pregnancy test result on July 26, 2023, and gave birth on June 6, 2024. In this instance, Ayurveda demonstrated its reliability in treating infertility and PCOS, offering effective and holistic methods for managing these conditions.</p> 2024-09-29T21:15:56+0530 Copyright (c) 2024 Roopali R.

Jadhav aumayurvedayanamah@gmail.com Santosh Pujari aumayurvedayanamah@gmail.com <p>Modern technology and equipment have allowed man and science to reach new heights in the realm of medicine. Despite its <em>Vedic</em> essence, Ayurveda continues to be widely practiced and serves humanity with its own set of principles and philosophy. The <em>Shalakya</em> <em>Tantra</em> primarily addresses ailments that arise above the clavicle and their treatment. <em>Ardhavabhedaka</em>, or Migraine, is a prevalent <em>Shirogata</em> <em>Vyadhi</em> influenced by diverse factors such as lifestyle modifications, psychological stress, and various sources of <em>Shirogata</em> disturbances. In <em>Ayurveda</em>, <em>Ardhavabhedaka</em> is understood as a <em>Vataja</em> or <em>Vata</em>-<em>Kaphaja</em> impacting all facets of <em>Shirogata</em> physiology. The symptoms of <em>Ardhavabhedaka</em> include <em>Ardha</em> <em>Murdha Vedana, Pakshath Dashahath Pravruthi, Bhrama, Bheda Todavath Vedana, Chardi</em>. Traditional <em>Ayurvedic</em> treatments address these symptoms through localized and systemic approaches. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of <em>Marma</em> therapy and <em>Nasya</em> <em>Karma</em> in alleviating symptoms and improving clinical parameters associated with <em>Ardhavabhedaka</em>. The findings offer promising insights into potentially cost-effective alternatives for managing <em>Ardhavabhedaka</em>, providing relief to individuals burdened by the perpetual dependence on palliative measures.</p> 2024-09-29T21:29:04+0530 Copyright (c) 2024 Abhishek Pathak, Vinod M.

Due to similarities in clinical manifestations <em>Mutrashmari</em> can be correlated to Urolithiasis. Urolithiasis is characterized by the formation of solid masses or calculi within the urinary system. Increasingly prevalent worldwide, its prevalence in India mirrors global trends, at around 12%. Men are affected more than women with male to female ratio of 3:1. Chronic and recurrent nature underscores its significant impact on healthcare emphasizing the need for effective management strategies. <em>Avapeedaka </em><em>Snehapana</em> is one such novel therapeutic protocol, where <em>Sneha </em>(~medicated ghee) is administered before and after digestion of meal, commonly indicated in <em>Adhonabhigata Vikaras </em>(~diseases manifesting below umbilicus) specific to <em>Mutravaha Sroto Dushti </em>(~Urinary system disorders). In this case report, a male patient of age 65 years diagnosed with Urolithiasis since 1 year visited Out Patient Department (OPD) with symptoms of pain in left flank region, associated with burning micturition. Ultrasonography report revealed a 7 mm calculus located at upper pole of left kidney. Patient was administered <em>Avapeedaka Snehapana</em> with <em>Vastyamayantaka </em><em>Grutha</em>.

Sleep or <em>Nidra</em> is considered as one among the sub pillars of life (<em>Thrayopasthamba</em>). <em>Nidranasa</em> or <em>Anidra</em> is a state of sleeplessness which is an effect of increased <em>Vatadosha</em>. The potential cause of this sleeplessness can be anything like an adverse effect of certain drugs as in this case. In this case study, the patient was having a migraine headache and was under medication continuously for 120 days. After this he gradually developed sleeplessness and he was contracted to a person who was having a sleeping hours of two, even after taking sleeping pills. This shattered his physical as well as mental condition. Ayurvedic treatments planned for this was an integrated approach including internal medicine, external therapies and maintaining suitable environment for his condition. External therapies like <em>Padabyanga</em>, <em>Shirodhara</em>, <em>Hapushadi Yapana Vasti</em> gave a considerable relief. The Insomnia severity index score was 24 while admission and was reduced to 13 after treatments.

Its incidence, currently ranging from 5-15%, is on the rise due to modern lifestyle changes, impacting reproductive health and causing issues like irregular periods, infertility, weight gain, hair loss, and insulin resistance. According to <em>Ayurveda</em>, PCOD involves imbalances in the three <em>Doshas</em>, primarily <em>Kapha</em> and <em>Vata</em>. Vitiated <em>Kapha</em> causes <em>Strotoavrodha</em>, leading to <em>Vata Vaigunyata</em>. These <em>Doshas</em> also affect <em>Rasa, Rakta</em>, and <em>Medas Dhatu,</em> which in turn affect channels such as <em>Rasa</em>, <em>Rakta</em>, and <em>Artava Vaha</em>, resulting in symptoms like <em>Artavkshya</em>, absent menstruation, infertility, abnormal bleeding, and anovulation. A 24-year-old female patient presented at the PTSR OPD in RGGPG Ayurvedic Hospital, Paprola, with a history of irregular menstruation for the past four years. Her hormonal profile showed raised FSH and LH levels, and ultrasound examination revealed a bilateral PCOD pattern. <strong>Aim &amp; Objectives</strong>: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of <em>Shodhan</em> <em>Chikitsa</em> along with <em>Yog</em> <em>Basti</em> (<em>Saindhvadi</em> <em>Tail</em> <em>Anuvasan</em> <em>Basti</em> &amp; <em>Lekhan</em> <em>Aasthapan</em> <em>Basti</em>) and <em>Artav</em> <em>Janan</em> <em>Chikitsa</em> in the management of PCOD. <strong>Results:</strong> After undergoing <em>Ayurvedic </em>treatment the patient's menstrual cycle became regular, hormonal levels normalized, and ultrasound showed a disappearance of the PCOD pattern. <strong>Conclusion:</strong><em> Ayurveda</em> offers a promising approach to managing PCOD by restoring balance to the body and addressing the underlying imbalances that contribute to the disorder. The success of <em>Ayurvedic</em> management in PCOD lies in its holistic approach, which focuses on addressing the root cause of the disorder rather than just managing symptoms.</p> 2024-09-29T22:09:29+0530 Copyright (c) 2024 Sanskrati Nema, Soni Kapil
