These are the most popular among the processing's of Mercury. Parpati Rasayana Kalpanas are the most popular among the processing's of Mercury and are widely used. These are therapeutically effective mineral and metallic formulations; including both Sagandha and Nirgandha Parada Yukta yogas. Parpati Kalpana (Flakes) is a well known and successfully used preparation for the management of Grahani. The name "Parpati" is given to this preparation because of its form and the method of preparation as it is made in the form of thin flakes.  It is also said about it that because of its similarity of Papada, so it is called as Parpati. This process dates back to 11th century and is found widely in Ayurveda literature. Parpati Rasayanas have high therapeutic value, potent, less toxic and cost effective medicines. Panchamruta Parpati is one of the formulations used in Grahani (Malabsorption sprue syndrome).  In this process, Parada is heated along with Gandhaka and other drugs. Here Parada gets a very intimate bondage with Gandhaka which helps to exhibit thousands of qualities compared to any other formulations. Agni plays an important role in altering the natural physico-chemical properties and the potency of the dravyas. A number of Parpatis are derived in subsequent periods such as  Tamra parpati, Panchamruta parpati, Swarna parpati (Rasapaddhati), Loha parpati, Vijaya parpati  etc. were developed by different scholars by adding one or the other ingredients.

Among the plants known for medicinal value, the plants of genus Ocimum belonging to family Lamiaceae are very important for their therapeutic potentials. Tulsi is the legendary 'Incomparable one' of India, is one of the holiest and most cherished of the many healing and healthy giving herbs of the orient.  Traditionally, Tulsi is taken in many forms: as an herbal tea, dried powder, fresh leaf, or mixed with Honey or Ghee. For centuries, the dried leaves of Tulsi have been mixed with stored grains to repel insects. Many research and studies suggest that Tulsi may be a COX-2 inhibitor, like many modern painkillers, due to its significant amount of eugenol. The chemical composition of Tulsi is highly complex, containing many nutrients and other biological active compounds. These constituents significantly vary with time, cultivation process and storage. The nutritional and pharmacological properties of the whole herb in natural form, result from synergistic interaction of many different active phytochemicals, consequently, the overall effects of Tulsi cannot be fully duplicated with isolated compound or extracts. Recent studies have shown new promising pharmacologically active chemical constituents from this ancient phytomedicine.

Classification of Morbidity (Nosology) - Understanding and interpretations from Ayurveda and Biomedicine T, Saket Ram Bandari, Srinivasulu A, Narayana Gundeti, Manohar Diseases classification Nosological approach interpretations of Ayurveda Biomedicine ICD-10 Kayachikitsa Roganidana The term Nosology refers to the science of classification of disease. Developments in area represent heterogeneous process spanning across long timelines and geographical areas. Descriptions of Classification of disease are well documented in Ayurveda codified texts and presents compact classification methodology from the very division of medical specialties in to 8 types (Ashtangas) which include kayacikitsa (general medicine), Shalya (surgery), Shalakya (ear, nose, throat, dental and diseases of head), Balaroga (Pediatrics), etc., The same is followed for the categorization of diseases too. Apart from this the basis of understanding diseases is pathophysiological (dosha-dhatu-mala) and the analysis is based up on Triskandha (three arms) 1. Hetu (cause), 2. Linga (presentation) and 3. Aushadha (suitable regimen). This is a distinct feature which carves out a niche for Ayurveda in terms of Nosological advantage. Greeco roman medicine started documenting classification of diseases from 16th century The events showcae a transition from Magical remedies to Biographical approach and finally to the Nosological approach which has finally lead to the development of current Biomedicine. Now we are heading for a major revision of ICD-10, which is going to be functional from the year 2014, which is likely to be followed by another major revision ICD-11 (to include standard terminology of some of the alternative medical systems like Chinese and Korean medicine.) An attempt is made in this article to document the chronicle of developments which has led to current International Classification of Diseases (ICD).

Vyana Vata – The Mahajava Nambiar, Sruthi Surendran Unnikrishnan, Pillai Vishnu Shivaprasad, Chiplunkar VATA DOSHA VYANA VATA Kriya Sharira Vyana Vata is described as Mahajava which is highly powerful. Therefore it keeps the Rasa Dhatu in circulation continuously and always throughout the life. Vyana Vata with its swift action performs all the functions in the body. All the three Doshas residing in Hrdaya contribute directly or indirectly to the functioning of the body; but vyana vata has a unique role in carrying out the functions throughout the body while residing in hrdaya. Any obstruction to vyana vata leads to a disease that affects the whole body. Vitiation of vyana vata hampers its functions as well as nutrition and movements of the body. Therefore treatment should aim at understanding vyana vata and to correct the root cause. The paper describes the physiological, pathological and treatment aspects of vyana vata in accordance with the contemporary view. The physiological aspect includes the location, functions and dependency of other sub types of Vata to Vyana Vata which is discussed along with its contemporary understanding. The pathological aspect deals with causes for vitiation and symptoms seen and the general line of treatment modality applied.

Notable Modifications of Sushrut Samhita by Dalhana Borkar, Kanchan M Shekokar, Anantkumar V Sushrut Samhita Nibandhasangraha Shalya Mala Vrana Shadvidh Pariksha Shalya Tantra Sushruta, the father of surgery gave Sushrut Samhita to his followers. The Sushrut Samhita gives simple, precise, logical and practical knowledge. Available commentary on Sushrut Samhita is Nibandhasangraha which is written by Dalhana who gave reasoning and description about some unsolved puzzles in Sushrut Samhita. This commentary is available in Sanskrit language which is unrecognized by common Ayurveda scholars and researchers. Although it is very difficult to understand and translate the Samhita in an easy language it will be a boon to all the Ayurveda scholars if we can understand the Dalhan’s explanation of Sushruta’s view. In this article we shall try to understand and interpret the knowledge of Sushruta and Dalhana from Sutrasthan Adhyaya no. 1 to 10  in parallel to western surgical knowledge to get a better understanding of basic principles of ancient and western surgical practice.

A review on relation between prakruti and agni Ohol, Sarita V Agni Mandaagni Prakruti Tikshnagni Basic principles Ayurveda takes into account an individual in his entirety and advices to follow daily regimen and adopt achar- rasayan(fixed rules conduct in life) accordingly. But today's irregular and fast lifestyle, irregularities in diet, sleep, high stress levels at the workplace and emotional factors can lead to indigestion. It occurs due to deficiency in quality and quantity of digestive juices, which is termed as mandagni (deficient digestive fire). Prakruti means neutrality or habits or condition. Ayurvedic treatment emphasizes on examining the prakruti or the natural states of an individual's before proceeding.In Ayurvedic compendia, relation between prakruti and agni is not quoted directly except tikshnagni (intense digestive fire) in pitta prakruti, if it is quoted indirectly (anukta) elsewhere in Ayurvedic texts then it should be enlightened. Hence the concept of agni, prakruti & its inter-relation are vital factors which are to be studied in detail for wellbeing of a person. Hence aim is conceptual study of prakruti, agni and their inter relation. For this, Ayurvedic literature regarding prakruti and agni is reviewed.Summing up all literature regarding prakruti and agni, study shows that not only influence of factors like dosha, kaala(season), aahar(diet), desha(habitat) are but also jati, kula, panchmahabhuta (five elements) etc. plays important role in formation of prakruti and it should be determined by all aspects and not by the influence of dosha only. Likewise, agni also should not only judged by prakruti but also by considering other factors like influence of dosha, age, season, work pattern, yoga, quality and quantity food habit, mental states, desha, effect of treatment etc Ayurveda Sahiti Prabha 2013-12-09 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/366 International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine; Vol. 4 No. 4 (2013): October - December 2013 0976-5921 10.47552/ijam.v4i4 eng https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/366/208

Concept of Vata Vs Nervous System N, Saroja P, Ramreddy G K, Venkata Shivudu G, Lavanya Ayurveda Nervous system vata Humors Panchamahabhutas Basic principles Increased awareness about Ayurveda and the need of Ayurveda in the present society demands to understand and emphasize the depth of Ayurvedic principles in an easy and more transparent mode. Even though the contemporary science is developing very fast with so many new research works in the field of medicine, it will not be an exaggeration to say about Ayurveda - that it has already established its unique identity and it has been continuing its onward march with added illumination. Every concept of Ayurveda is postulated and explained on the basis of panchamahabhuta, Doshas represent the existence of pancha maha bhuta in our body, and everything is panchabhutika in the universe. Whatever may be the development in Contemporary science the ultimate treatment depends on management of panchamahabhutas for which the approach of Ayurveda is crucial. Vata one among the three basic humors plays a major role in both health and disease condition. Most of the vata disorders discussed in Ayurveda are being diagnosed under neurological disorders in modern medicine. Hence an attempt has been made to understand the physiological activities of vata with special reference to neurophysiology.

Concept of Oral Hygiene in Ayurveda Ahuja, Deepak Kumar Ahuja, Vandana Oral hygiene Chewing sticks Kavala Gandoosha Shalakya Ayurveda is the ancient Indian system of health-care and longevity. It involves a holistic view of man, his health and illness. Even though dentistry was not a specialized branch of Ayurveda, it is included in its Shalakya Tantra. Problems such as deformities of the oral cavity, plaques and infections were managed in ancient India. Research has shown that all kinds of chewing sticks described in ancient Ayurveda texts have medicinal and anti-cariogenic properties. Kavala and Gandoosh kriyas are claimed to cure several systemic diseases. Scientific validations of the Ayurveda dental health practices could justify their incorporation into modern dental care. In this paper, an attempt has been made to review various herbal plants mentioned in Ayurveda that can be used as an adjunct for the maintenance of oral health.

Probable Cardiac Complications of Vaman Karma in Hrid rogas (Cardiac diseases) Jindal, Nitin Kar, Pulak Kanti Hrid roga Vaman karma Cardiac complication of Vaman karma Kayachikitsa In India, perhaps due to rapid pace of economic development, epidemiological changes have spanned a much shorter time. As a consequence, cardiovascular disease has emerged as the leading cause of death all over India. Heart is the centre of circulatory system that plays a major role in the physiological processes of the body. In Ayurveda, Hridaya has been described as the site of Mana (mind), Buddhi (intellect) and Chetana (soul). Vaman karma, a prime treatment modality of Panchakarma, though has been mentioned as a curative procedure for Hrid roga, is now becoming less popular day by day in anticipation of its probable cardiac complications. If Vaman is not administered properly, it even plays a role as etiological factor of Hrid roga as well as its predisposing factor. Sushruta has indicated Vaman Karma in all type of Hrid rogas, but Charak has mentioned it only in Kaphaja Hrid roga.In Ayurvedic classics, many signs and symptoms suggestive of cardiovascular complications like Hrid graham (cardiac spasm), Hridyopsarana (Cardiac arrest), Mrityu (death) etc are described in the context to Vaman karma. Vaman karma in a cardiac patient must be planned judiciously; otherwise it may produce severe complications at any stage of therapy. This article lays emphasis on the probable cardiac complications of Vaman karma that may occur in a cardiac patient by various mechanisms such as by reducing blood supply to heart tissue or by causing low cardiac output state etc. Ayurveda Sahiti Prabha 2014-07-07 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/05242014 International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine; Vol. 5 No. 2 (2014): April - June 2014 0976-5921 eng https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/05242014/242

Conceptual study of the Matrika Marma w.r.t Carotid sinus and Carotid body Thakare, Nilkanth G Matrika Marma Marma Sadhyapranhara Carotid body Carotid sinus. Rachana Sharir              Sushruta has explained the Marma i.e vital points of the body.  On the basis of consequences, there are five types of Marma in which one is Sadyapranahara Marma that means injury to these Marma leads to sudden death. Matrika Marmas are eight in number, lie in the neck on either side of Kanthnadi which is a  Sadhyapranahara Marma. In the internal carotid arteries, there is carotid sinus which is a major vital point of the body. It regulates the blood pressure of the body. Carotid body is also situated in common carotid artery which regulates the chemical composition of the body.

Anatomical consideration of Dhamani marma in Ayurveda Yadaw, Bhan Pratap H, Awasthi H Ayurveda Marma Dhamani Guda Apastambha Vidhura Sringantaka Rachana Sharir Ayurveda is an ancient health science devoted to the cure on human suffering and for the care of the health of the people. Injuries involving various types of the structures in the body like dhamanis (arteries), muscles, nerves, bones and the visceral organs in general and when in combination specifying marma. Among the hidden sciences of India, marma science is the most important. Marmas are not superficial landmarks on the body surface but these are deep-seated important physio-anatomical structures. Marma in Ayurvedic classics is illustrated as the vital point in human body, the injury of which leads to termination of life. Descriptions of 107 marmas given by all acharyas being classified into five varieties on the basis of structure involved; five on the basis of effect of injury and five on the basis of location on the body. According to anatomical consideration marmas can be divided into mansa-marma, sira-marma, snayu-marma, sandhi-marma, and asthi-marma (respectively, marma of muscle, blood vessel, ligament, joint and bone). According to Vagabhatta there are six types of marma. He has enumerated a sixth group of marma known as dhamani marma. Dhamani marma is one such vital region in human anatomy which falls under the classification on the basis of structure involved. This study is aimed to emphasize on why Ashtanga Hridaya has considered a separate group called dhamani marmas of which other acharyas have considered under different groups & finally to conclude with clearing out the controversy & thereby to fulfill the lacuna in the subject.

Age standardized CAD death rates in people 30-69 years old are 405 per 100000 in India . Also 50 percent of CAD related deaths in India occur in people below 70 years of age. India is estimated to have lost 8.7 billion 1998 international dollars in 2005 because of CAD, stroke and diabetes. These estimates increase to 54 billion 1998 international dollars by 2015.

Albuminuria is nothing but the excess loss of Dhatu Saramsa (finest tissue) due to weakness of Ayanadourbalya (system). The progress of this structural damage gradually leads to a condition in which function of the Srotas (system) is totally get impaired (Sanga). This is actually happening in glomerulosclerotic stage of diabetic nephropathy. As function of membrane of Mootradharakala (urinary tract) becomes fully impaired, there is failure in the removal of Kledamsa (waste) and Udaka Bhavas (ions), which leads to their accumulation in the body. This will lead the further progression. As per Charaka quotation, physician need not to name the disease, he should investigate the Sthana (location), Samsthana (cause) and Samutthana (symptoms). So here humble attempt is done to through light on microalbuminuria in Ayurvedic view to understand the disease and plan out the treatment.

Physio-Pharmacological aspects of Guda Basti Narayanrao, Lungare Sanjay Sanjay, Lungare Yogita Basti Pervading Attribute Physio-Pharmacological aspects Madhu Saindhav Niruha Anuvasan Kayachikitsa Amongst all the Shodhan and Shaman treatments of Ayurveda; Basti is one which can be used in all types of diseases and conditions. With proper combination of different drug it acts as anabolic as well as catabolic therapeutics, that’s why it is called as half treatment. Basti is a medication given through rectum which is a part of G.I Tract hence enema is equated with Basti. When administration volume of enema exceeds 80-100ml as in Basti there is a possibility of migration of drugs in to the ascending colon and even up to the ileum. Hence pervading of Basti solution is most important consideration. G.I. tract from cecum to rectum is very much differing in anatomical as well as physiological point of view. So plant origin drugs given by this route shows different Physio-Pharmacological properties. Basti doesn’t act by virtue of its drug mixture alone, beside drug mixture; left lateral position of patient, time of Basti administration related with food, mixture of Madhu and Saindhav play an important role. The pervading attributes for Niruha and Anuvasan are different. On the basis of this attributes Physio-Pharmacological aspects can be classified under Absorption and Excretion. The main aim of this article is to collect all references of Basti/Rectal root of drug administration from modern as well as Ayurvedic point of view and to explore the exact mechanism of action. In future Niruha Basti may be used as beneficial method for removal of the body waste products and Anuvasan Basti more nearer regarding the new nutritional root.

Postmenopausal Osteoporosis is an Age Related Physiological Change and not A Disease Hadapad, Basavaraj S Osteoporosis hormone calcium Asthisoushirya Bone density disease mongering Prasuti tantra and stree roga For the past few decades it is taught at medical schools that hormonal and calcium deficiencies are the main culprit in causation of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis.  Because of this myth, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been used increasingly to prevent and cure PMO by the medical graduates at global level. The very definition of “normality” is flawed seriously. The statistical mean plus/minus two standard deviations automatically brings in five per cent of normal people into the fold of patients-the false positives. This goes up to 25% when disease statistics are used to measure healthy people. If we extend this definition further, almost all will come under the umbrella of patients! Age related osteoporosis falls under this label.  Ayurveda Sahiti Prabha 2015-12-28 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/06372015 International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine; Vol. 6 No. 4 (2015): October - December 2015 0976-5921 10.47552/ijam.v6i4 eng https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/06372015/332

The expectancy of life has increased, with consequent rise in degenerative diseases of aging and life-styles. Nevertheless, communicable diseases are still dominant and constitute major public health issues. Due to low socio economical standard, poor hygienic conditions and population explosion, communicable diseases have become a serious threat to the society in our developing country. Rasayana therapy is particularly helpful in management of such a disorder where immunity and infections are playing central role. As per Ayurvedic principles immunity of a person can be enhanced by use of proper diet and lifestyle along with a proper use of Rasayana. Rasayana is actually that which increases the essence of each Dhatu starting from Rasa. Taking Rasayana is helpful to increase the immunity of person to keep him away from communicable diseases. They are of two types Urjaskara (enhance the general immunity) and Roganuta (used in specific disease conditions). There are many Rasayanas used to improve the immunity and cure diseases like Shilajatu Rasayana for Prameha, Lauha in Pandu, Amalaki, Haridra, Chyavanprash etc. Ayurveda Sahiti Prabha 2015-04-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/06012015 International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine; Vol. 6 No. 1 (2015): January - March 2015 0976-5921 eng https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/06012015/265

Having the symptoms like pain, swelling, crepitus, and restricted joint movements. Ayurveda highlighted degenerative diseases under the concepts like “Dhatu saithilyam” and “Dhatu kshayam”. Sandhigata Vata is one of such disease, which needs a specific target of therapeutic intervention to check or slow down the process of “Dhatu kshaya” and to pacify Vata. Sandhigatavata may be correlated with degenerative joint disease or Osteoarthritis, which in turn cripples the patient to the maximum, extends and reduces the total working capacity of the person.

Root Cause of Diseases – Ama Concept W.S.R to Free Radical Theory Sapra, Jaideep Agni Ama Free radicals ROS KAYACHIKITSA Ayurveda speaks the main cause of diseases is rooted in the impairment of the body's main fire, called Agni, the fire of digestion. Ayurveda views the health of the body as the functioning of a biological fire-governing metabolism. If this essential part is functioning effectively, the whole body will be nourished, full of life and vibrancy. Altered digestive functioning can lead to the production of Ama, a toxic material that initiates and promotes disease processes throughout the body. In the same way, free radicals are also found to be the root cause of many diseases. The majority of free radicals that damage biological systems are oxygen-free radicals, and these are more generally known as “Reactive oxygen Species” (ROS). These are the main byproducts formed in the cells of aerobic organisms, and can initiate autocatalytic reactions so that molecules to which they react are themselves converted into free radicals to propagate the chain of damage. Here we shall discuss about properties of both Ama and Free Radicals. The present article attempts to correlate the concept of Free radical with the concept of Ama.  Ayurveda Sahiti Prabha 2015-06-25 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion conceptual application/pdf https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/06142015 International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine; Vol. 6 No. 2 (2015): April - June 2015 0976-5921 10.47552/ijam.v6i2 eng https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/06142015/304

Hridaya Marma Paripalanam – Preventing Hridaya Roga Gaikwad, Mahendra S V, Sawai R V, Rampurkar M Hridaya Roga Hridaya Marma Trimarmsiddhi Paripalanam Samhita siddhanta Ayurveda our ancient life science believes in the proverb “Prevention Is Better than Cure” as its basic principle ofस्वस्थस्य स्वास्थ रक्षणम् आतुरस्य विकार प्रशमनम् । - चरक संहिता सुत्रस्थान १Which means Ayurveda treats the diseases but it mainly concentrates on preventing human beings to get diseases with help Swasthvrutta Acharana and Nidan Parivarjana. With this basic principle we can prevent heart diseases i.e. Hridaya roga. Ayurveda states 3 basic marma’s i.e. the vital points where Prana (live) are situated and any trauma to this spots may cause to death. Those 3 marma’s are Hridaya (Heart), Shira (head) & Basti (bladder). Out of these Hridaya is one of the most important Marma, which is also a Pranayatana (where life resides) and Moolsthan of Rasa & Rakta Vaha Srotas. Prevalence of Hridaya Roga is increasing in our country from last few decades because of change in life style, dietary habits, stress, drinking and smoking habits etc. due to this change in life style, young age peoples are suffering from heart disease. Hence our ancient science states that Hridaya Marma Paripalanam means protection and nourishment of Hridaya Marma is most important to prevent Hridaya Roga which is stated in the following quotation of Trimarmsiddhi adhyayof Charak Samhita Siddhisthan.ह्रदये मुर्ध्नि बस्तौ च नृणां प्राणाः प्रतिष्ठिता । तस्मात्तेषां सदा यत्नं कुर्वित परिपालने ॥आबाध वर्जनं नित्यं स्वस्थवृत्तानुवर्तनम् । उत्पत्तिर्विघातश्च मर्मणां परिपालनम् ॥- चरक सिद्धिस्थान त्रिमर्मियसिद्धि अध्याय ९/९-१०  Ayurveda Sahiti Prabha 2015-05-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/6S062015 International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine; Vol. 6 No. 1 (2015): Supplement of National Seminar on Empowering and Empanelling Ayurveda System of Medicine 2015, Satara 0976-5921 eng https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/6S062015/278

To Explore Ayurvedic Principles of Management of Hridroga Patil, Swapnil Deshmukhe, Parag Shirke, Prashant Lokhande, Smita Hridroga Ayurveda Chikkitsa Kayachikitsa  In Ayurveda the term ‘Hridroga’ should be considered as integrated aspects regarding various disease aspects related to cardiovascular system. This includes diseases of coronary artery, Myocardial Infarction, Angina Pectoris, Mitral valve disorders etc. &    these diseases also causes of premature death in the present era. Comparatively male sex is more prone to the arterial blockages than female. Hridroga is however accelerated due to   Smoking, Stress, Sugar(Diabetes) Blood Pressure, Faulty Diet  like too much saturated fats, trans fats in the food i.e. consumption of heavy, greasy food, fried items, deep fried potatoes/chips etc. & Alcohol. Coronary artery blockages are caused due to the build-up of the cells, fat and cholesterol which is called as pluck. This causes the lack of supply of blood to the heart muscles & further leads to infarction of cardiac muscles. This shows the symptoms irregular heart rhythm, shortness of the breath, angina, tightness, or pressure in the chest.  As we think of Ayurveda approach about Hridaya & its Dhamani, these are seat of Rasavaha Strotas & it is also one of the Dashpranayatan.

Conventional care of wounded in Susruta Samhita—A Review V, Sreedevi Tripathy, Rabnarayan NJ, Anuja Nair John, Neelima Sherly P, Suresh Vranitopasaneeya Wound Apathya Ahara Vihara Shalya Tantra Wound healing is a physiological process and there are various supportive aids to speedy healing. Acharya Susruta has given due importance to explain about the proper care of a wounded patient irrespective of the cause of wound either surgery or trauma. Injury is a public health problem of enormous magnitude and surgery is another common cause creating the burden of wounds. Statistical data regarding the complications of wound healing and infections of wound is so alarming that there arises a need for retrospection into the conventional concepts of care of a wounded person. Optimal management of the wounded patient is essential as a prophylaxis to surgical site infections and post traumatic complications. The general practitioners with expertise and experience who are an integral part of providing the essential care should appreciate the integrity of a science like Ayurveda and also promote the ideas incorporated in the age old compendiums. Careful management of the wound post traumatically or post operatively is an important part of post wound recovery of the patient. Current care of wounded must be appraised and reassessed for appropriateness and effectiveness. Nutritional status, psychological well-being, environmental and personal hygiene has been long ago recognised as essential in improving the quality of life of the wounded.

In Brihatrayees of Ayurveda, scattered references are only available about Amlapitta. Kashyapa Samhita was the first Samhita which gives a detailed explanation of the disease along with its etiology, signs and symptoms with its treatment protocols. A group of drugs and Pathyas in Amlapitta are explained and shifting of the place is also advised when all the other treatment modalities fail to manage the condition. The present review intended to explore the important aspect of Amlapitta and its management as described in Kashyapa Samhita, which can be helpful to understand the etio-pathogenesis of disease with more clarity and ultimately in its management, which is still a challenging task for Ayurveda physician.

The Concept of Cholelithiasis as Per Ayurvedic Text D, Londhe P Cholelithiasis Pttashmari Bigol Shashwat Kayachikitsa Cholelithiasis (gallstone formation) results from a combination of several factors, including super saturation of bile with cholesterol, accelerated nucleation of cholesterol monohydrate in bile, and bile stasis or delayed gallbladder emptying due to impaired gallbladder motility. In India it is more common in women in north, north-east and east as compared to other zones in the country. The disease Gall Stone has not been described directly in Ayurvedic classics. The word Ashmari in Ayurveda stands for stone which is described only in the context of Bastigat Ashmari (urinary calculi). After analyzing the Ayurvedic texts it was found that the bile secreted from gall bladder can be correlated with Accha Pitta mentioned in Ayurveda due to the similarity in location and function. The pathogenesis of the disease occurs due to the abnormal formation of Kapha during the process of digestion and its vitiation due to Vata. The present article deals with description of formation of gall stone from the Ayurvedic perspective. Along with this the specific remedy for gall stone according to Ayurveda is also described.

Manuscriptology: Relevance for Ayurveda Research Scholar G, Sreeja K Mund, Jayashankar Nambootiri, Vishwanathan Nair, Leena P Manuscripts Ayurveda Manuscript preservation Ayurvedic Manuscripts in Kerala Conserving manuscripts Traditional Knowledge. Basic Principles Manuscripts are the treasure of wisdom passed from generation to generation. The art of writing emerged as a way of preserving knowledge that was previously transmitted orally from one generation to the next. Ayurveda developed as a result of the accumulated wisdom and practical experiences of many generations. The knowledge gained by ancient seers of Ayurveda were passed generations through the Manuscripts. Still thousands of valuable unpublished Ayurveda manuscripts are available in Government agencies which can immensely contribute in the development of system. Government of India gives a great importance to procure, preserve and to publish manuscripts. Kerala has exceptionally rich Ayurveda tradition and collection of Manuscripts which required special attention by the Government and from the scholars. The preserved Manuscripts are the invaluable treasure of knowledge  which can be utilized for the well being of present generation as well as to pass on to the next generation. This study focuses on an introduction to manuscripts in Indian context with special reference to Kerala and discuss the importance of preserving and conserving manuscripts especially for an Ayurvedic research scholar.  Ayurveda Sahiti Prabha 2016-04-05 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/07032016 International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2016): January - March 2016 0976-5921 10.47552/ijam.v7i1 eng https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/07032016/358

Clinical Aspect of Diseases of Cornea in Ayurveda Riju, Agarwal Atul, Bharadwaj S, Dhiman Kartar Manju, Rani Akshi Pakatyaya Ajakajata Avrana Shukra Cornea Savrana Shukra Siraja Shukra Shalakya Tantra Shalakya Tantra Introduction: There are total seventy sixocular diseases described in Sushruta Samhita and 94 diseases in Astanga Sangrah & Astanga Hridya. This concept of classification of ocular disorders is well buttressed by classifying the disease as Sandhigata (Diseases affecting junctional areas of eye), Vartamagata (Diseases of eyelids), Shuklagata (Diseases of Sclera plus Conjunctiva), Krishnagata (Diseases of Cornea), Sarvagata (Diseases affecting all parts of Eye), Drishtigata (Diseases of Lens). Material and Methods: Extensive literary review of various text of Ayurveda in order to carve out a possible comparison of Ayurvedic Corneal Ophthalmological disorders with modern counterpart. Aims: To establish clinical correlation between diseases of Krishna mandala to disease of the cornea. Discussion: Classifications of corneal diseases in classical Ayurvedic texts are sequential and progressive in nature viz. one condition progress to the next corresponding stage. Acharya Sushruta described 4 types of diseases of cornea while Vagbhatta has enumerated 5 types. A conscious endeavor is made to correlate the Ayurvedic and modern corneal disorders in a complimentary manner. Conclusion: The congruent behavior of corneal disorders of Ayurved and modern is justified by the clinical symptomology, progression of the disease, prognostic reasons and relevant intervention. The integrated disease approach, treatment application and predicting prognosis will suffice the resultant outcome of the disease in a more favorable perspective which will herald a better approach in managing preventable corneal blindness.  Ayurveda Sahiti Prabha 2016-09-25 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/07252016 International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine; Vol. 7 No. 3 (2016): July - September 2016 0976-5921 10.47552/ijam.v7i3 eng https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/07252016/366

Bhanga as an activity potentiater in Ayurvedic classics and Indian alchemy (Rasashastra): A critical review Tavhare, Swagata Acharya, Rabinarayan Bhanga Bhavana Cannabis sativa Linn. herbo-mineral drugs potency levigation trituration Dravyaguna (Clinical pharmacology) Bhavana (impregnation) and Swedana (boiling) are the processes used in Ayurvedic pharmacy for preparation of formulations containing the drugs of metallic, mineral and poisonous origin to make them safe and potent for internal administration. Drugs of herbal origins are primely used for the Bhavana process. Bhanga(Cannabis sativa Linn.) a drug with great medicinal potency has been highlighted for its Deepana(digestive stimulant), Pachana(digestive), Ruchya (Taste promoter), Madakari (intoxicant),Vyavayi(short acting),Grahi(withholds secretions),Medhya (memory booster), Rasayana (adapto-immuno-neuro-endocrino-modulator) activities were used as a processing media in many formulations. In 19th century, it is included in narcotic group of plants and its use, as a drug, has been restricted. In 21st century again, the drug is gaining attraction from scientific communities due to its wide pharmacological properties. However, there is no collective information available at a glance regarding the use of Bhanga in various processing techniques of classical formulations. Hence, it is the need of the time to present the comprehensive information on cannabis, as quoted in classical texts with probable research co-relation, so as to bring the drug again in to limelight. The present review aims to compile all the information about the use of cannabis as a activity potentiater so that it can be further practically utilized in pharmaceutics and clinics with legal permissions. A thorough review, from available 41 Rasagranthas (text related to Indian alchemy) and 26 classical texts was carried out to compile the information about formulations where Bhanga is used as process media. The review shows that; Bhanga has been used, as a pharmaceutical processing agent, in 157 formulations being indicated in 40 different disease conditions. Among them, in 154 formulations, it is used as Bhavana media and in 3 formulations as a Swedana media. The present observation could help the future researchers to explore the drug for therapeutic utilities.

A Conceptual Review of Manas in Relation to Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) In Children C, Ragamala K Dash, Pravat Kumar Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder Children Ayurveda Manas - Manasa vikara Kaumarabhritya According to World Health Organization, mental disorders are to increase by 50% in 2020, on the international level one of the main causes of morbidity in children. Children constitute about 40% of our population and in Indian studies the reported rate of psychopathology among children is 5-15%. The statistical studies show that ADHD has the highest incidence among all the other developmental disorders. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic condition that affects millions of children and often persists into adulthood. It includes a combination of problems, such as difficulty sustaining attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. ADHD is estimated to affect about 6 to 7 % of children aged 12 and under when diagnosed via the DSM-IV criteria. While treatment won't cure ADHD, it can help a great deal with symptoms. Treatment typically involves medications and behavioral interventions. In Ayurveda, the symptoms of ADHD can be correlated with the derangement in functioning of Manas and few with the lakshanas of Manasa vikaras. Thus it is worthwhile to understand the functioning of Manas in the context of the disease ADHD, which will be of prime- importance in understanding its psychopathology. Ayurvedic approach to the disease is definitely psychosomatic in nature Ayurveda Sahiti Prabha 2017-10-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/08182017 International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine; Vol. 8 No. 3 (2017): July - September 2017 0976-5921 10.47552/ijam.v8i3 eng https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/08182017/402

Parikarthika: The Most Misinterpreted Disease of Present Times Jayaram, Anumarlapudi Kumar, Yarlagadda Narendra Parikarthika Gudakshatha Pichchavasthi Herbal enemata Proctitis Fissure-in-ano. Shalya Tantra In the present day of interdisciplinary references, investigations and patient consultations, it is necessary that any modern equivalent term should depict the exact disease our Acharyas meant it to be, so that all the Ayurvedic practitioners understand the same disease while referring to a modern term and the principles followed accordingly. Unfortunately some diseases are misinterpreted and the treatment followed is not as per Ayurvedic texts but what the modern term means. One such disease is Parikarthika, which is represented as fissure-in-ano but in fact is Proctitis. Here an attempt is made to restrict its use strictly to the disease our Acharyas mentioned and to follow the principles accordingly, for successful propagation of the system.

Ayurveda treated Sthaulya as a Santarpanottha Vikara (diseases due to excessive nutrition) which has been identified as one of the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide in both developed and developing countries. Medodushti (disorders of fat metabolism) serves as one of the important etiological factor. In Ayurveda herbal drugs are being used to lower the levels of serum cholesterol for the treatment and prevention of this disorder. In this regard, an attempt has been made to review the drugs useful in Sthaulya specifically mentioned in Ganas (group of drugs) of Ayurvedic classical texts which are useful in prevention and management of conditions like Dyslipidemia and its complications.  Ayurveda Sahiti Prabha 2017-12-26 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/08292017 International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine; Vol. 8 No. 4 (2017): October - December 2017 0976-5921 10.47552/ijam.v8i4 eng https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/08292017/416

Kriya Sharir Ayurveda is a science which was in dynamic continuum of development like all sciences. However due to various geopolitical and social reasons after 5th Century true development of Ayurveda science has stagnated hence few terms and concepts remain unexplained. Therefore a lot of concepts in Ayurved are there which need more understanding from modern physiological point of view. The concept of Lasika is one of them. It is a physiological entity, said to be the seat of Pitta, Mala of Rasa Dhatu and play major role in the pathological conditions like Kushtha, Visarpa, Vrana, Dagdha and most importantly in Prameha. The present article aims at exploration of concept of Lasika in Ayurved and its comparison with interstitial fluid on the basis of its modern physiological resemblance. This also be required to be discussed whether Lasika is Dhatu, Upadhatu or Mala.

Role of Agnikarma in Gridhrasi (Sciatica) - A Conceptual Study Swamy, Bramhanand K Vijayakumar, Patil Akshata Hiremat, Sapna Gridhrasi Agnikarma Sciatica Shalya Tantra Pain is the chief cause of visiting a doctor in most patients. Vata is responsible for all painful conditions in the body. Gridhrasi is one among vataja nanatmaja vyadhi affecting the locomotor system in which pain is major symptom. The name itself indicates the way of gait shown by the patient due to extreme pain just like a Gridhrasi (Vulture).  In Gridhrasi intense shooting pain start from sphik pradesha and radiates downwards to kati, prusta, uru, janu, jangha and pada in which the patient is unable to walk properly.  The pain starts in the back and radiates down to one or both lower limbs.  On the basis of symptoms of Gridhrasi; it can be equated with the disease sciatica in modern science. It occurs due to spinal nerve irritation and is characterized by pain in distribution of sciatic nerve. Statistically it is estimated that low back pain and radiating pain due to lumbar disc prolapse are major cause of morbidity throughout the world. The life time incidence of low back pain is 50-70% with incidence of sciatica more than 40%.  It disturbs daily routine and overall life of the patient. In modern medical science, only symptomatic management with analgesics like NSAIDs and a very few surgical procedures are available.  The surgical procedures are expensive with many limitations.  In Ayurveda, various methods used in treatment of Gridhrasi are Bheshaja , Snehana, Swedana, Siravedha, Agnikarma and basti. Among these, Agnikarma is one of the para- surgical procedures which is very effective, simple, safe, cheap and having quick action. In current study a humble attempt is made to explain the role of Agnikarma in Gridhrasi.

But in modern era due to different kind of stress and changing life style Canities (Palitya) occur in early age. According to W.H.O in India, its incidence is high in the age group of 20-30 years. In Ayurveda premature greying of hair is called as Akala palitya (premature gray hair). According to Ayurveda grey hair is mainly due to the vitiation of Pitta dosha (biological entity related to exothermic reactions or transformation) & reference of Palitya is directly mentioned only in Pitta Prakruti (inherent constitution of an individual). The use of purification procedures of panchakarma (detoxifying therapy) has prime importance in the remedies mentioned for premature greying. Nasya karma (nasal medication) is one of the major rejuvenative treatments. Palliative external & internal medicaments measures like Shiro dhara (pouring oil on head), Shoro pichu (cloth dipped in oil kept on head), Shiro basti (oil is kept on head with an apparatus), Shiro lepa (application of medicated paste over head), Shiro abhyanga (oil massage to head) helps in speedy recovery.

Ethnomedicinal Claims on Wound Healing Activity of Certain Leaf Drugs - A Review Sharma, Tarun Bhide, Bhargav Acharya, Rabinarayan Plants are traditionally being used as a source of medicine by indigenous people of different ethnic groups inhabiting various terrains for the control of various ailments effecting both human and animals. Recently, focus on plant research has been increased, all over the world, due to the huge potential of medicinal plants used in various traditional systems. Wounds are the result of injuries to the skin that disrupt the soft tissue. Various plants have been used in treatment of wounds over the years in many tribal areas. Many ethno botanical survey reports and books have been published highlighting the use of plant as a whole or its various parts for the management of wounds. Recent research shows that some of these plants are established either experimental or clinical studies for their wound healing activities. Single hand information regarding these plants with their specific parts used for wound healing activity is lacking.

A Critical Analysis of Gulma Aimed at Practical Management Kumar, Yarlagadda Narendra Jayaram, Anumarlapudi Gulma, Diverticulitis, Diverticulosis, Phantom Tumor, Gaseous Tumor, Grandhivat. One of the diseases that have become enigmatic over a period of time, subsequently becoming one of academic interest and discussion is Gulma. Various theories were put forward regarding its pathology and modern equivalents like Phantom tumor, Gaseous tumor which are themselves non-specific in nature, none having a practical approach in daily practice. Sites of Gulma such as Hridaya. Nabhi, Parsva, Vasthi are also the sites of Diverticular disease. Diverticulum and its later manifestation as Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis are similar to Gulma and the diffenrent types like Vataja, Pittaja, Kaphaja and Sannipathaja Gulma  as explained by our Acharyas. This disease is compared to Diverticular disease with justifications, so that physicians can try medical care, which, hitherto is limited purely as academic subject, and also paves the way for further analysis into the classification of Gulma and its manifestation as compared to Diverticulitis, so that Ayurvedic treatment modalities can be applied accordingly, which requires extensive clinical study.   Ayurveda Sahiti Prabha 2018-10-07 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion text application/pdf https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/1120 International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine; Vol. 9 No. 3 (2018): June - September 2018; 148-152 0976-5921 10.47552/ijam.v9i3 eng https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/1120/439 Copyright (c) 2018 International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
