https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2595
<p><em>Arsha</em> is a disease afflicting mankind for thousands of years. In <em>Ayurvedic</em> literature, this disease is mentioned as one of the ‘<em>Ashtamahagadas</em>’<strong><sup>[1]</sup></strong> and difficult to cure. Nearly 45% of patients attending ano-rectal clinics suffer from the symptoms of <em>Arsha</em>. Vitiation of <em>Doshas</em> adversely affects the digestive fire resulting in <em>Mandagni</em> which in turn lead to constipation. Prolonged contacts of accumulated <em>Mala</em> or excretory material taint <em>Gudavali</em> resulting in <em>Arshas</em>.<strong><sup>[2]</sup> </strong><em>Acharya Charaka</em> explains <em>Arsha</em> as an abnormal fleshy growth at anorectal region whereas at other sites it is called as <em>Adhimamsa</em>.<strong><sup>[3]</sup> </strong>In spite of progress in modern medicine, there is very little scope in terms of treatment of Hemorrhoids, Surgical techniques of performing hemorrhoidectomy are many and their complications such as pain, anal incontinence, stricture etc. are well known. All these modern surgical & Para surgical techniques are associated with post-operative complications which may be early complications such as hemorrhage, secondary infection etc., & late complications such as anal stricture. Anal incontinence, profuse watery discharge etc.,<strong><sup>[4] </sup></strong>Hence, in the present study a special emphasis will be made by selecting noninvasive, effective and economic therapeutic modality which has been explained with great details in ancient <em>Ayurvedic</em> <em>Samhitas</em> for the management of <em>Arsha</em> with different type of <em>Lepa</em> which is a painless simple procedure.</p>Pankaj Kumar YadavAnkita Chitragupt

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2509
<p><strong>Background:</strong> <em>Tagetes erecta </em>Linn. (Asteraceae) is a well-known plant for its antihypertensive, antioxidant, antidiabetic, aphrodisiac, and hepatoprotective properties. To investigate the pharmacognostic, physicochemical, and phytochemical determinations of this plant's leaves. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> The macroscopic characteristics of the leaves, such as size, colour, surface characteristics, texture, fracture characteristics, and odour, were studied pharmacognostically. The cellular characteristics of the drug were studied using a microscope on both the intact leaves and the powdered drug. According to WHO guidelines, extractive values, loss on drying (LOD), total ash, water-soluble and acid-insoluble ash, and moisture content of <em>Tagetes erecta </em>leaves powder were determined. For the various phytoconstituents, preliminary phytochemical screening and qualitative chemical examination studies have been conducted. <strong>Results:</strong> TLC analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, steroids, saponins, and tannins. Microscopic examination revealed the presence of xylem vessels, vascular bundles, and phloem fibres. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> To authenticate, standardise, and avoid adulteration in the raw material, pharmacognostical and preliminary phytochemical screening of <em>Tagetes erecta</em> leaves will be beneficial. The diagnostic microscopic characteristics and physicochemical data will aid in the creation of a monograph. The chromatographic fingerprinting profile can be used to standardise <em>Tagetes erecta</em> leaf extracts and formulations.</p>Pankaj Chaudhary

2023-09-012023-09-0187293610.21760/jaims.8.7.5Clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of Mentosoothe Compound in the management of Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder
https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2504
<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>DSM-5 defines Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder as having a persistent pattern of hyperactivity or inattention. This affects social, emotional, cognitive, and academic performance, behavioural skills in children and adolescents. The suffering child should have more than 6 symptoms of a particular type. Due to aetiology of <em>Dhee Dhriti </em>and <em>Smriti, </em>which results in imbalance of <em>Kala </em>and <em>Karma </em>and leads to incorrect interaction of the senses with their aims (<em>Asatmyendriyartha Samyoga), </em>gives rise to inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Considering the nature of symptomatologic manifestation, it can be correlated with <em>Unmada, </em>more specifically<em> Vata-Pittaja Unmada. </em>Ayurveda addresses ADHD with both internal medicines and external therapies. Mentosoothe compound is such a polyherbal compound it contains <em>Medhya, Balya, Deepana </em>and<em> Rasayana</em> drugs in extract form<em>.</em> <strong>Aim </strong>of the present study to evaluate the efficacy of mentosoothe compound in the management of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. <strong>Objective </strong>of the study is to promote cognitive performance with improvement in the quality of life by providing an effective and safe treatment option. <strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>The present study will be conducted as a randomized clinical study including minimum 40 patients, divided into two groups. Mentosoothe compound A and Mentosoothe compound B will be given to groups with fixed dosages. Assessment will be done on every 15<sup>th </sup>day during 2 months of clinical trial and final follow up will be done one month after completion of clinical trial. <strong>Result: </strong> The results will give the data on comparative effectiveness of the Mentosoothe compounds on ADHD. <strong>Discussion and Conclusion: </strong>The outcome of this trial will render a way forward to effective management of ADHD in children.</p>Shraddha KumawatRakesh Kumar NagarVishal Nandlal Prajapati

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2598
<p>The <em>Rachana Sharir</em> is branch of <em>Ayurveda</em> in which human anatomy is explained according to <em>Ayurved Samhita</em>. The knowledge of human anatomy is very much important for treatment of disease and other surgical procedures. <em>Paribhasha Sharir</em> is concept of <em>Ayurveda</em> in which different anatomical structure are explained in <em>Ayurvedic</em> term. It’s one of the important contributions of <em>Ayurveda</em> in the medical field. It needs to be correlated with modern anatomy which further can be used in surgery purpose and also help in acupuncture or acupressure therapy. It will be the sort of proof that the structure present in modern anatomy were far ago explained in <em>Ayurvedic Samhita</em>. In <em>Paribhasha</em> <em>Sharir</em> a structure called <em>Jaal</em> or plexus is explained which means a binding structure which hold <em>Maans</em> (muscular plexus), <em>Sira</em> (vascular plexus), <em>Snayu</em> (ligamentum plexus) and <em>Asthi</em> (bony plexus) in one place and forming the network or <em>Jaal</em> like structure, there are 4 structure present in bilateral <em>Miniband Sandhi</em> i.e., wrist and <em>Gulfa Sandhi</em> i.e., ankle joint. In each joint there is involvement of four anatomical structure namely <em>Maans, Sira, Snayu, Asthi</em>. It can be correlated with human anatomical structure namely network of muscle tendons, palmer or planter arches, retinaculum, juncture of carpel and tarsal bones respectively.</p>Pooja B.

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2599
<p>Growth of any knowledge base depends on a dynamic continuum of a tripod of creating new knowledge through research, effective transfer of knowledge through proactive education and utilization of the knowledge with good professional practice. A set of knowledge system is likely to be relative to time & place setting which facilitates its need based development. But though <em>Ayurvedic</em> education system is one of the recognized age old education systems but still neither developed nor advanced alike other education system across the globe. Due to lack of maintenance of such dynamic continuum in current education system of ancient system of Indian medicine, the knowledge bases of <em>Ayurveda</em> becomes stagnant, static & gradually pass into merely history &may not remain dynamic & useful. Need of dynamism and activism through incorporation of cognitive psychology in education curriculum and enhancement of reasoning skill followed by critical thinking in the mind of medical professionals is quite necessary in the field of <em>Ayurveda</em> to make it up to date and develop it further in tune with the changing needs of the society today. Keeping this in view an effort has been made by the author to explore the concept of <em>Yukti </em>as key element of cognitive psychology make its relevant application in the field of current teaching & education and practice of Ayurved worldwide.</p>Kshirabdhi Tanaya RautarayShiva Prasad MohantyRaka Jain

2023-09-012023-09-0187485310.21760/jaims.8.7.8A conceptual study of Yukti as Pramana or Guna and its utility in Ayurveda : A Review
https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2520
<p><em>Ayurveda</em>, the traditional Indian medical system is considered as world's ancient medical system. It is holistic approach to health which is designed to help people live a longer, healthy and well-balanced life. The principles of <em>Ayurveda</em> are important for both the healthy and diseased conditions. Only <em>Pariksha</em> is able to give accessibility to this information. <em>Charaka</em> has therefore given the examination the greatest possible significance and it suggests that it be performed. Being a branch of medicine, <em>Ayurveda</em> focuses a higher value on the examination or <em>Pariksha</em>. <em>Yukti</em> has been included in the four-part investigation into <em>Sat</em> and <em>Asat</em> (manifested and unmanifested things) by <em>Acharya</em> <em>Charaka</em>, which is a unique contribution of <em>Charaka. Yukti</em> can be defined as both a <em>Pariksha</em> as well as <em>Guna</em> in <em>Ayurveda</em>.</p>Komalben ChavdaHardik P. JyaniAnita Kumari

2023-09-012023-09-0187596510.21760/jaims.8.7.10An insight into Purva Mimamsa Darshana and its conceptual comparison to Ayurveda
https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2561
<p><em>Darshana</em> addresses the philosophical elements by which they direct one to the reality and various other principles of life. <em>Purva Mimamsa</em> <em>Darshana</em> one among the <em>Shad</em> <em>Darshana (</em>Six philosophies), emphasise on the basic principles of <em>Veda</em> and the achievement of the ultimate goal through their practice. Understanding their principles and concepts paves way to clarify and enhance the knowledge regarding various concepts from <em>Ayurveda</em>. <em>Purva Mimamsa</em> propagates <em>Dharma</em> (laws/duty) and emphasise <em>Karma </em>(deeds)<em>, </em>hence also called as <em>Karma Mimamsa</em>. This <em>Darshana</em> explains various concepts such as <em>Pramanas </em>(means of acquiring knowledge), <em>Karma</em> and its types, <em>Atma </em>(soul), <em>Moksha</em> (salvation) etc. where, few of these ideas diverge somewhat from those in <em>Ayurveda</em>, while others add clarity. Here, this article deals with <em>Purvamimamsa Darshana</em> which emphasises more on the basic principles of the <em>Vedas</em> and their matters in its support. Hence, through this article an attempt has been made to review and understand the concepts of <em>Purva Mimamsa</em> and its comparison to concepts in <em>Ayurveda</em>.</p>PriyankaSri Nagesh K.A

2023-09-012023-09-0187667410.21760/jaims.8.7.11Critical review of the utilization of Panchagavya in the form of Nutraceuticals
https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2505
<p><strong>Background:</strong> In India Cow represents Mother Earth and is commonly called as ‘<em>Gaumata</em>’ because of its nourishing nature. In <em>Ayurveda</em>, since ancient time’s cow products have been used for a healthy body, therapeutic purposes and pharmaceutical processes. <em>Panchagavya</em> is a mixture prepared by using five ingredients derived from Cow. The three direct ingredients are cow dung, cow urine and cow milk and the two derived products are ghee and curd each of which represents ‘<em>Gavya</em>’ i.e., obtained from <em>Gou</em> (Cow). Each <em>Gavya</em> can be used individually or in combination with other products. Any product generated from food sources having additional health advantages in addition to the essential nutritional content contained in foods is considered as a Nutraceutical. The long standing consumer acceptability of nutraceuticals is brought about by their association with conventional medicine. Although the idea of nutraceuticals has grown in popularity recently, it has its roots in the traditional <em>Ayurvedic </em>medicine of ancient India. <strong>Aims and Objectives: </strong>This work is a modest attempt to employ <em>Panchagavya</em> as a kind of nutraceutical. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> Various books and review articles were referred to carry out this review. <strong>Results and Conclusion:</strong> A number of illness, including obesity, dietary and gastrointestinal tract abnormalities, leucoderma, wound healing, leucorrhoea, hepatitis, TB, ulcer, chemical intoxication, as well as other bacterial, fungal and viral infections, are advised for <em>Panchgavya </em>therapy. Nutraceuticals are substances that have physiological benefits or provide protection against chronic diseases. Using this concept, <em>Panchgavya</em> can be used as a kind of nutraceutical.</p>Vasavi Totawar (Madurwar)

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2605
<p>Human body is mainly composed of three types of substances viz. <em>Dosha, Dhatu</em> and <em>Mala.</em> Although all these entities are present in body itself, but some kind of transportation system is required to carry these substances from the site of production to the site of action. For transportation mode of such body constituents, the special term '<em>Srotasa' </em>is used which denotes a channel through which substances flow from one part to another part of body. <em>Srotasa</em> is a structural and functional unit of the body which comprises of two openings. From one opening it starts or begins the functioning and at the other opening it concludes it. Hence, for a <em>Srotasa</em> the two openings are connected to the body organs which are described as <em>Srotomoola</em> or <em>Moola Sthana</em> (root of <em>Srotasa</em>).</p>Abhishek DhadhichPallavi ChoudharyRakesh Kumar SharmaNavneet Dadhich

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2607
<p><em>Ayurveda</em> is eternal science and considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science. <em>Ayurveda</em> consists of <em>Ashtangas</em> (8 branches of ayurveda) and <em>Shalyatantra</em> is one and foremost among them. <em>Acharya</em> <em>Sushruta</em> is considered as pioneer of <em>Shalyatantra</em> and contribution of <em>Acharya</em> <em>Sushruta</em> to <em>Shalyatantra</em> are innumerable. <em>Ashtavidha</em> <em>Shastra</em> <em>Karma</em> is unique contribution of <em>Acharya Sushruta</em>. <em>Ashtavidha Shastra Karma</em> includes <em>Chedana</em>, <em>Bhedana, Lekhana, Eshana, Aharana</em>, <em>Vedhana, Visravana, Seevana</em>.<strong><sup>[1]</sup></strong> These eight specific surgical procedures are useful in the management of all the diseases which require surgical intervention. In the present scenario though modern surgery has developed a lot but the basic concepts remain the same and they are base for these developments. <em>Seevana</em> is one among <em>Ashtavidha Shastrakarma. Acharya Sushruta</em> has emphasised clearly on <em>Seevana</em> <em>Karma</em> like its indication, contraindication, materials and the procedure. Suturing is the term used in Modern science for <em>Seevana</em>. A suture is any thread which brings into opposition two surfaces or tissues.<strong><sup>[2]</sup></strong> Suturing is a stich or series of stiches made to secure opposition of the edges of a surgical or traumatic wound. No surgery is complete without suturing. A lot of scope in developing suturing material told by <em>Acharya Sushruta</em> are on lines of modern medical science. Hence in this regard a small attempt has been made to through light on <em>Seevana Karma</em> and Suturing. This article summarises concept of <em>Seevana Karma</em> according to <em>Acharya Sushruta</em>.</p>Harsha M. KencharadderSiddayya AradhyamathAdithya JV

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2542
<p>Infertility is defined as a failure to conceive with in one or more year of regular and unprotected coitus. Many causes are responsible for female infertility in which 30- 40% case are related with tubal blockage.<strong><sup>[1]</sup></strong> Fallopian tubes are very important structure of<em> Artavavaha Srotas </em>as they carry <em>Bija Rupi Artava. Bija</em> undergoes fertilization process within the fallopian tube. Due to tubal blockage <em>Bija</em> and <em>Shukra</em> are not able to meet in fallopian tube and it hampers process of fertilization and female does not able to conceive. Ayurveda has been successful in treating infertility since several thousand years. If we emphasize on tubal blockage according to Ayurvedic aspects we find that it occurs due to <em>Vatakapha </em>dominated<em> Tridoshaj </em>condition as <em>Vata </em>is responsible for <em>Samkocha</em>, <em>Kapha </em>for <em>Shopha</em> and <em>Pitta </em>for <em>Paka</em>. So, in Ayurvedic management we do local treatment in the form of <em>Uttar Basti </em>with certain drug which has property of <em>Vatakaphanashaka</em> and <em>Tridoshaghna </em>and it could remove the blockage by reaching up to the minute channels.</p>Piyusha PandeyShikha Sharma

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2608
<p><em>Tridosha</em> theory is the foundation of <em>Ayurvedic</em> science. One of the three <em>Doshas</em>, called <em>Pitta</em>, is very important for digestion and metabolism. There are five different varieties of <em>Pitta Dosha</em>: <em>Pachaka, Ranjaka, Alochaka, Bhrajak</em>a, and <em>Sadhaka</em>. Food digestion, <em>Sara</em> and <em>Kitta Vibhajan</em>, and feeding the <em>Agneya</em> component of <em>Pitta</em>, which is distributed throughout the body, are all tasks carried out by the <em>Pachaka Pitta</em>. It also goes by the name <em>Jatharagni</em>. after aiding in food digestion, this <em>Agni</em> form <em>Pitta</em> divides the <em>Sara</em> and <em>Kitta Bhaga.</em> All digestive enzymes, such as amylolytic, proteolytic, and lipolytic enzymes, can be compared to <em>Pachaka Pitta</em>, as suggested by the functions of this substance. The goals of digestive enzymes, gastrointestinal hormones, and local hormones can be linked to the actions of <em>Pachaka Pitta</em>.</p>Pooja PareekRakesh ChhimpaRajesh Kumar SharmaDinesh Chandra Sharma

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2609
<p>In <em>Ayurveda</em>, <em>Ayu</em> is defined as conjunction of body, soul, mind and senses. Each has been given due importance in the maintenance of health and prevention and cure of disease. <em>Ayurveda</em> mention various aspects related to the normal physiological functioning of body, diseases and their management. <em>Ayurveda</em> elaborated one such concept of <em>Srotas</em> which means microchannels of body that performs functions of transportation and circulation. The <em>Srotas</em> not only perform important functions of body but also restore normal health status of body. Vitiation and depletion in <em>Srotas</em> can lead many pathological events inside the body. Present article described clinical perspective of <em>Srotas</em> as per <em>Ayurveda </em>considerations. When the vitiation of <em>Srotas</em> occurs, the treatment of <em>Moolasthan</em> can cure the whole deformity because <em>Moolasthan</em> is the control system of the whole <em>Srotas</em>.</p>Nitish SharmaPawan Kumar KirarLajwanti KeswaniSalil JainMonika Parihar

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2610
<p>Women in the reproductive age group experience a variety of conditions related to the menstrual cycle, such as menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, irregular menses, PCOD, endometriosis, etc., which seriously affect their health and happiness as well as being extremely detrimental. It also increased the prevalence of infertility. As a result, there is a pressing need to educate the public, regarding the numerous <em>Paricharyas</em> (ways of living) recommended by <em>Ayurveda</em> to keep the <em>Doshas</em> in balance, which maintains health in turn. <em>Ayurveda</em> advises women to adhere to "<em>Paricharyas</em>" conduct that should be followed at various stages of life, such as <em>Rajaswala</em>, <em>Garbhini</em>, and <em>Sootika</em>, in order to improve their health and quality of life. The <em>Rajaswala</em> <em>Paricharya</em> is the one that receives the least attention. This subject was chosen because it was noted that modern science has described fatigue and lower abdomen pain as having an impact on the menstrual cycle and its related symptoms, although <em>Ayurveda</em> has not specified such symptoms.</p>Raihana Ahmed ChoudhuryYanbeni Humtsoe

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2513
<p>Nature conservation has changed from an idealistic philosophy to a serious technology understanding of the nature of plant conservation is very much need of the hour that has elaborately mentioned in the literatures of <em>Ayurveda</em>. The interrelationships between conservation and sustainable use are considered, as well as the impact of the development of the discipline of conservation biology should be understood by the common man to save the Plant Kingdom. Traditional knowledge is vital for sustainability of natural resources including medicinal plants. Biodiversity conservation can be learnt from the context - specific local knowledge and intergenerational transmission of knowledge, skills and strategies, concern for well-being of future generations. The ancient text of <em>Vrikshayurveda</em> consists of about 170 different plant species including herbs, shrubs and trees. The text deals with Agri horticulture, home gardening, intercropping and storage etc. This paper intends to understand the traditional knowledge on biodiversity, practices and principles of <em>Varahamihira</em><em>’s, Brhat Samhita - Vrikshayurveda </em>the text of 9<sup>th</sup> century AD in Growth, Conservation, Pest control and in-turn to check the diseases in Medicinal plants.</p>Krishna Kishore KumarBrijesh K.

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2611
<p><em>Ahara</em> (food) is the prime need for the sustaining of life. <em>Ayurveda</em> explained about <em>Trividha Upasthambha</em> (sub-pillars of body) and <em>Ahara</em> (food) is one of the important pillars for healthy living being. For healthy living <em>Ayurveda</em> emphasizes on consuming right kind of diet which provide health and nutrition. The diet which disturbs the balance among the body elements is called <em>Viruddha Ahara</em> (Incompatible diet). Consuming two food items together or a particular type of diet may tend to toxicity; it is termed as incompatible diet. Even incompatible diet should be considered similar to <em>Gara Visha</em> (Artificial poison). <em>Viruddha</em> (Incompatible diet) means substances which when consumed cause for aggravations of <em>Doshas</em> but do not expel them out of the body and bring about abnormalities in <em>Dhatu</em> (tissues of the body). The incompatible diet could be considered similar to poison and artificial poisoning if taken simultaneously and continuously. Due to western lifestyle there is extensive exposure to toxins. The present article deals with the review of <em>Viruddha Ahara</em> (Incompatible diet) referred in context of <em>Viruddha Aaharajanit Vyadhis</em> (Incompatible food induced diseases) and its prevention in <em>Brihattrayi</em>.</p>Kamlesh Kumar MeenaRitu KapoorDevender Singh Chahar

<p>Women health remains a staggering challenge, particularly in the developing world. Around 5-15% of women in the reproductive age group suffer from hormonal imbalances that lead to menstrual irregularities.<strong><sup>[1]</sup></strong> A wide range of factors affect menstruation among all factors polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the foremost factor. At least 70% of women with PCOS remain undiagnosed in primary care due to lack of knowledge and not giving attention to commonly occur menstrual irregularities.

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2502
<p>The natural ability of the body to fight diseases or prevent diseases is called <em>Vyadhikshamatva</em> (immunity). The body has an inherent capability to defend itself from the ailments, which termed as ‘<em>Prakritirakshini’</em>. This protects the body from the ill effects of unwholesome food, regimes and other non-conductive factors. The intervention by the physician is required only when the ‘<em>Prakritirakshini</em>’ or inherent power to protect the body fails. The innate ability to resist diseases is explained as <em>Vyadhikshamatva</em> by <em>Charaka</em>. Without the depletion of the natural strength of the body the disease doesn’t occur thus, strengthening the immune system is a natural way to help the body fight against the disease causing pathogens. The present article is aimed to review the concept of <em>Vyadhikshamatva</em> and various factors that help in occurrence and prevention of disease.</p>Ankita SajwanAkanksha JoshiBasant Kumar Thakur

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2613
<p>The vegetables are grouped under <em>Shaka Varga</em> in <em>Ayurvedic</em> classics. The <em>Bruhatrayees</em> are the most important books of <em>Ayurveda</em> classics. They are <em>Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhit</em>a and <em>Astanga Hridaya/Astanga Sangraha</em>. Most of the plants under <em>Shaka Varga</em> are of controversial botanical identity and some are unidentified. The <em>Bruhatrayees</em> included <em>Shaka Varga</em> under <em>Ahara</em>(food). The <em>Shaka Varga </em>includes <em>Patra Shaka</em> (leafy vegetables<em>), Kanda Shaka</em> (stem vegetables), <em>Phala Shaka</em> (vegetable fruits), <em>Pushpa Shaka </em>(flower vegetables) etc. Consumption of these vegetables helps to maintain the health in the healthy individual and helps in curing the diseases. Certain vegetables are <em>Pathya (</em>suitable) and <em>Apathya</em> (not suitable) for consumption. The vegetables are consumed for the nutrition and as the best calorie diet. The medicinal herbs are used in the small quantities and have huge medicinal properties. The present study is to review on the number of plants with their botanical identification and the <em>Karma</em> of <em>Shaka Varga Dravyas</em> (plants belonging to vegetable category) in <em>Bruhatrayees.</em></p>Bhagyalaxmi CVShreedevi H.

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2614
<p>According to <em>Ayurveda</em>, food is the main pillar of healthy life. Living body is continuously subjected to wear and tear process. <em>Dhatus</em> which are being lost in physiological activities are replenished by food and water. Man needs to eat food to build a new <em>Dhatus</em> and to repair damage <em>Dhatus</em>. After consumption food is digested in gastro intestinal tract. Fluid formed from the digested part of food is called as <em>Ahara</em>-<em>Rasa</em>. For growth, <em>Dhatus</em> needs nourishment, and these <em>Dhatus</em> are nourished by food and water. <em>Aahar</em> <em>Rasa</em> is formed in <em>Annavaha</em> <em>Srotas</em>. <em>Aahar</em> <em>Rasa</em> contains nutrients of seven <em>Dhatus</em>. <em>Aahar</em> <em>Rasa</em> is absorbed from <em>Grahani</em> (small intestine) and brought into heart. Heart is a root of <em>Rasavaha</em> <em>Srotas</em>, hence in heart, <em>Rasa</em> <em>Dhatvagni</em> transforms nutrients of <em>Ahara</em> <em>Rasa</em> into stable <em>Rasa</em> <em>Dhatu</em>. <em>Rasa</em> <em>Dhatu</em> is formed in <em>Rasavaha</em> <em>Srotas</em>. <em>Rasa</em> is the first <em>Dhatu</em> formed from <em>Aahar</em>-<em>Rasa</em>.</p>Himanshu SahuArun Kumar KalihariGitanjali SasmalVinay Bhardwaj

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2492
<p>Toxicogenomics is a field of science that studies toxicology with genomics and other high-throughput molecular technologies and bioinformatics. Typically, it applies transcript, protein and metabolite profiling technologies to investigate the interaction between genes<em>/</em>proteins<em>/ </em>metabolites and environmental stress in disease causation and toxicity. The concept of toxicogenomics was first introduced in 1999, inspired by the rapid advancement of microarray technologies. The field has quickly expanded by including proteomics, metabolomics and other new high-throughput technologies. In <em>Ayurvedic </em>perspective, toxicogenomics can be correlated with the <em>Beeja Dosha Dushti</em>. </p>Jitendra KumarJai Kumar SinghSantosh Kumar Vishwakarma

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2615
<p><em>Nidra </em>is derived from the root "<em>Dra</em>" with a prefix <em>'N'</em>. The root "<em>Dra</em>" means undesired. Therefore, <em>Nidra </em>is considered as state in which there will be no desire. <em>Nidra </em>is one of the important pillars of <em>Trayopsthmbhas</em>. When the mind including sensory and motor organs is exhausted and they dissociate themselves from their objects, then the individual sleeps. Deprived and excessive sleep takes away both happiness and longevity. The same sleep, if properly enjoyed brings happiness and longevity in human beings as real knowledge brings about spiritual power in a <em>Yogi</em>.</p>Kavita G. AmbePasha Sheikh

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2491
<p>Retina is the innermost tunic of the Eyeball; it is thin, delicate and transparent membrane. It is the most highly developed tissue of the Eye. Retinal arteriole and Vein share an adventitial sheath and because of Arteriolosclerosis thickening of arteriole is associated with compression of the Vein and this intern causes secondary changes including Venous endothelial cell loss, Thrombus formation and Occlusion.<strong><sup>[1]</sup> </strong>These changes appear in both arteriole and vein that contribute to Retinal Vein Occlusions. Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion caused when a single branch of the central vein is blocked due to an embolism and spasm. Retinal Vein Occlusion is the second most common retinal disease after Diabetic Retinopathy. BRVO has a good prognosis of 50 to 60% of eyes are reported to have an improved Visual Acuity or better.</p>Supriya TSSujathamma K

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2617
<p>Biliary obstruction<strong><sup>[1]</sup></strong> refers to blockage of any duct that carries bile from the liver to the gallbladder or from the gallbladder to the small intestine. The clinical setting of the failure of biliary flow may be due to obstruction by mechanical means or by metabolic factors in the hepatic cells. The discussion of metabolic causes of biliary obstruction is very complex; the pathogenesis is not always clearly defined. While on the other hand, the condition <em>Ruddha Patha Kamala</em> in <em>Ayurveda</em> is the nearest possible clinical correlation to biliary obstruction wherein the flow of <em>Pitta</em> is obstructed by <em>Kapha</em>.<strong><sup>[2]</sup></strong> A structural / physical complete blockage of biliary flow needs a surgical intervention while if the cause is due to metabolic compromise or a partial block, the condition can be reversed effectively through <em>Ayurvedic</em> medications. Here is a case of obstructive jaundice, with a h/o cholecystectomy 20y back and H/O ERCP 5y back, treated successfully with <em>Ayurvedic</em> medications and some diet modifications for about 42 days. A combination of <em>Avipatthikara Churna, Shweta Parpati, Yava Kshara </em>and<em> Katuki Churna</em> was the intervention given<em>. Mulaka Yusha</em> twice a day along with bland diet was advised as <em>Pathya</em>. By the end of 42 days, the LFT report turned completely normal and the patient felt very healthy subjectively. There exists a need in the current times to critically understand the treatment techniques and principles of traditional medicine systems and to make use of them in treating certain conditions where the other conventional medicine systems fail.</p>Bhargav HMMadhava DiggaviPuja Yadav

https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2618
<p>Osteonecrosis is a degenerative bone condition characterized by the death of cellular components of the bone secondary to an interruption of the subchondral blood supply. Also known as avascular necrosis. Avascular necrosis can be correlated to <em>Asthi Majja Gata Vata </em>and / or <em>Asthi Dhatu Kshaya </em>manifesting symptoms like <em>Bhedo Asthi Parvanam </em>(breaking type of pain in bones and joints), <em>Sandhi Shula </em>(joint pain), <em>Mamsakshaya </em>(muscular wasting), <em>Balakshaya </em>(weakness), <em>Aswapna Santataruk </em>(disturbed sleep due to continuous pain) and <em>Sandhi Shaithilyam </em>(afflicted joints) with <em>Shiryanti Iva Cha Asthini Durbalani </em>(destruction of bony tissue causing generalized weakness), <em>Pratata Vata Rogini </em>(other aggravated features of <em>Vata</em>). A wide range of treatment modalities have been mentioned in <em>Ayurveda</em> that are effective in such manifestations. A case of AVN with bilateral femoral head was treated with <em>Shodhan </em>followed by <em>Brimhan</em>. For <em>Shodhan Jaladhauti</em>, <em>Bashpa Swedan, Vaitaran Basti </em>and <em>Manjhishthadi Niruha Basti </em>was planned and <em>Shashtishali Pinda Sweda </em>and <em>Panchatikta Kshir Basti </em>were given along with internal medication. Patient was observed for symptomatic improvements based on the assessment done by the Harris Hip Score and the range of movement of the hip joint before and after treatment. The therapy provided marked relief in pain with improvement in gait and improved quality of life. <em>Ayurvedic</em> management provides significant relief and improves the quality of life.</p>Harshada S.
