is correlated with Rajayakshma mentioned
in Ayurvedic texts. It is a contagious disease which is transmitted from an infected
person to susceptible person in airborne

According to Ayurveda, Rajayakshma is
included in aupasargik roga3. So the infection can also be considered the etiology

ABSTRACT
There is a definite need to study vatarakta (Gout) as peripheral arterial disease and its management with both sodhana (Purification) and samana (reducing) treatment, with the due
consideration of its severity, chronicity as well as possible complications. This study is
planned to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Vataraktantakarasa and Lekhana basti (Scraping
agent or ayurvedic drugs used for enema) in patients suffering from Vatarakta. Design: Single
blind clinical study with a pre-test and post-test design. Source of the data: 20 patients of
vatarakta who attended the O.P.D. and I.P.D. of S.D.M. Ayurveda Hospital, Kuthpady,
Udupi, Karnataka. Intervention: Patients were subjected to 16 days course of lekhana basti
along with oral medication with vataraktantaka rasa in a dose of 250mg tid for 30 days Observations: Out of 20 patients of Vatarakta studied in this work. All the patients had the
Dvandvaja praktiti (Two types of Prakrutis like Vatapittaj,Vatakaphaj etc.). Results: Statistically significant improvement was observed in all the criteria of assessment that included
regards to pain, burning sensation, malaise and disturbance of sleep, tenderness, walking
ability, peripheral pulses and lipid profile. Conclusion: The combination of lekhana basti and
vataraktantaka rasa is an ideal regimen in patients suffering from raktamargavarana janya
vataraktaa (Obstruction for blood causes Vatarakta)

INTRODUCTION
Vatarakta comes under the domain of
Vatavyadi 1 (Nervous disorders) and
mostly affecting the extremities 2. The
umbrella of vatarakta in parlance with
conventional medicine includes many
conditions related to extremities and to
mention a few are connective tissue disorders as well as peripheral vascular disorders. In the literature it is emphasized that
the etiological factors leads to the predominant morbidity of vata dosa and rakta
dhatu (Blood tissue) and hence the name
vatarakta. To be more specific, the ob-

Assessment criteria: The state of the disease Vatarakta changes after the intervention. Improvement or otherwise was determined by adopting the standard methods
of scoring for subjective, objective and
special investigation criteria. The Margavarana was assessed both before and
after the intervention to note any change
by using the arterial Doppler study. Lipid
profile was also studied before and after
the treatment.
Assessment of overall effect : As per the
reduction in the total scores of the assessment parameters, the overall effect is calculated as followComplete remission - total score is 0 after
the treatment Marked improvement reduction in the mean symptom score by

Results showed that there is definite reduction in the bad cholesterol and increase
in the good cholesterol following the
treatment. These changes establish the efficacy of lekhana basti and vataraktantaka
rasa in preventing the progression of margavarana as well as the illness vatarakta.
The marginal improvement in the circulation following medication with lekhana
basti and vaataraktantaka rasa confirms
the effect of medicine on reducing the
margavarana. Reduction in pain burning
sensation etc proves the reduction in the
morbidity of vata dosa following the
medication. The combination of shodhana
treatment in the form of lekhana basti and
shamana treatment in the form of vataraktantaka rasa is an ideal regimen in patients sufferirng from raktamargavarana
janya vataraktaa.

ABSTRACT
Artava in females is considered equivalent to Sukra in males. There lies the importance of maintaining menstrual health for a healthy progeny. Menstruation can be considered as an additional
opportunity of the body for cleansing or removal of toxins. It is believed that some amount of
Ojas is also lost during menstruation. When the menstrual cycle itself is considered, the menstrual phase is dominated by Pitta Dosha, later the influence of Kapha persists a few days before
ovulation. During the time of ovulation the Vata Dosha becomes powerful enough to propel the
ovum out of the follicle. In the absence of fertilization Vata gives way for Pitta during the premenstrual days and during menstruation. Most of the discomforts during menstruation are because of the imbalance of Doshas. So within the inherent constitutional frame work of Doshas
timely and purposeful administration of Aushadha, Aahara and Vihara will restore the doshic
balance. Thus menstrual health can be maintained from the onset till the period of menopause.
Various drugs like Amalaki, Satavari, Nagakesar, Asoka etc have proved very effective in case
of menstrual abnormalities.
Key words: - Artava, menstruation, Doshas, drugs

the human body. Artava is considered as the
Upadhathu of the first and foremost dhathu ie
the Rasa dhathu. Rajapravrithi is a normal

of all the physiological and psychological

CONCLUSION
Being the natural cleansing process of the
body menstruation needs anassistance from
the individual. The unobstructed flow of
menstrual blood will be possible only by the
optimal assistance of the Tridoshas. Any
disturbance in the equilibrium of Doshas will
create problems in menstrual cycle. In a
particular Prakruthi there is a physiological
increase in the level of that particular dosha,
which may show its effect on the characteristics of menstruation. Such effects due to the
Prakruthi of the individual may cause some
ailments
which
can
be
considered
physiological. So understanding the Doshic
play and adequate application of medication,
control of diet and regiments is needed to restore the optimal action of menstrual cycle
which is very crucial to maintain the health of
a women.

ABSTRACT
Hyperlipidemia means abnormally high levels of lipids in the blood. These lipids or fats include cholesterol and triglycerides. It results from abnormalities in lipid metabolism or plasma lipid transport or a
disorder in the synthesis and degradation of plasma lipoproteins. Sedentary life style and increased
popularity of fast foods are the most contributory factors. More than half of the Coronary Heart Diseases (CHD) are attributable to abnormalities in the levels and metabolism of plasma lipids and lipoproteins. . In India, persons suffering from CHD have increased in last 20 years. It is estimated that
there are almost 224 million people with high cholesterol in India. According to WHO, raised serum
cholesterol levels is one of the top ten causes of death throughout the world. There are many effective
medicines and therapies described in different classics of Ayurveda for treating the hyperlipidemic
activity. A clinical study comprising of 25 patients of either sex attending OPD clinic of AMVH Hubli
presenting with Hyperlipidemia confirmed by Lipid Profile were treated with Medhohar Guggulu and
Lekhaniya Mahakashaya. The results shown were highly significant.

is found that the drugs like Chitraka contains sitosterol which act as Hypolipidemic. Saponins are also found in drugs like Vacha,
Haimvatietc which is well known for lowering
lipids. The combination showed highly significant results on subjective parameters like
Ashaktaha Sarvakarmashu, Kshudraswasa,
Atinidra, Atisweda etc. which is due to excess
of Meda and Kapha. The combination act by
its properties like Lekhana, Karshana, usna, tikshana, Medohara Kaphahara etc. and gives relief in the symptoms. The result is highly significant on Objective parameters also. This is
because of internationally accepted effect of
Guggulipids, -sitosterol and saponins on lipid
levels.
CONCLUSION
Hyperlipidemia is a very prevalent disease
in todays world which is causing physical,
mental and social impact on the suffering
individual.
Hyperlipidemia is common in people leading sedentary and are used to Madhura and
Snigdhaahara.
All the subjects showed marked reduction
in serum Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides,
LDL and HDL ratio and also showed significant increase in HDL levels.
Medohara Guggulu and Lekhaniya Mahakashaya plays good role in the management
of Hyperlipidemia.
No adverse effects were found during and
after the study.
It can be said with full confidence that the
combination used can be safely administered in patients with Hyperlipidemia.

Case Report
INTRODUCTION: Congenital spinal
anomalies are a rare occurrence and the only
treatment available is surgical intervention.
In conditions of fused vertebrae surgery
does not promise complete recovery and it is
also associated with severe complications.
Case presentation: A boy of 1 year of age
had complaints of not able to sit without
support , and not able to stand with/without
support. Examination of motor system revealed spasticity in all the four limbs with
increased severity in the lower limbs. Deep
tendon reflexes were brisk in the lower
limbs. Muscle power- grade II. Sensory examination: no sensation for touch and pain.
Keywords: spastic cerebral palsy, panchakarma treatment, delayed developmental
milestones
Investigation:
MRI of brain: normal
MRI of spine: -short segment of lumbar
cord extending from lower border of L1 vertebral body to L3 vertebra is absent / severely hypoplastic. Atropy of thew lower
Bulky thickened terminal cord that is low
lying and tethered.

DISCUSSION:
In this case study the patient was not able to
sit , stand, crawl and walk . The patient had
no history of trauma/ high fever/ convulsions. Hence this rules out traumatic causes
and infective causes. MRI of the brain and
spine was done. MRI showed normal brain
study . MRI of the spine showed congenital
anamolies of the spine and spinal nerves.
Considering the above said symptoms and
investigations we can diagnose this case as
janmajat kaphavrita vata vyadhi. So the
treatment would involve kaphahara chikitsa
to alleviate kapha. For vitiated vata doshabahya and abhyanthara snehana (oleation
therapies),swedana, sodhana, brihmana procedures2,3 have to be followed.
For the bahya snehana - abyanga, pizhichil was used. For swedana procedure nadi
sweda is best in children. In this patient
since there is association of kapha with vata
. so the first line of management was towards subsiding kapha. Hence udwarthana
with kolakulathadi choorna was advised for
three days. Udwarthana is a ruksha, ushna
and tiksna procedure and it subsides kapha
dosha. kolakulathadi choorna is usna and
tikhna.hence it is also kaphahara in nature4,5. After udwarthana procedure dhanyamla dhara was advised. It is also usna
and tikshna guna
and hence subsides
kapha.so once kapha dosha has subsided the
next treatment was aimed to treat vitiated

Ghee alleviates Pitta and Vata, is beneficial for rasa, semen and Ojas, cooling,
softening and improves voice and complexion.(5)
Suvarnaprashana can be given everyday
morning or on the day of Pushya Nakshtra.
Pushya Nakshtra has great importance in
Ayurvedic medical science. It is considered
to be very effective in terms of action,
probably the body on this day is in a better
position to absorb the drugs for its optimum
benefits and the drugs used are more potent
than the usual. (4). Sushruta has advised its
use after emesis of liquor amni, but before
massage and bath. While Vagbhatas have
indicated it after massage and bath before
emesis in Jatkarma Samsakar to ensure
sucking and swallowing reflexes. (5)
The basic concept of this gold licking is
entirely different as it is used only once in
Jatkarma Samskar performed after birth.
BENEFITS OF SUVARNAPRASHANA:
Following are the benefits of Suvarnaprashan mentioned by Kashyapa
Grasping power, sharpness, analysis
power, recall memory becomes very
strong
Improves digestion power
Auspicious
Virtuous
Aphrodisiac
Increases complexion
Eliminates the evil effects of grahas
Tones up skin colour
Growth of mind and body becomes
faster than usual
DISCUSSION
In children up to 2 years brain development is continued and which is accelerated
by Suvarnaprashana samsakar As per
literature review and practical application
of the concept Suvarnaprashana improves
digestive, metabolic and immune system. It
also benefits preterm and I.U.G.R babies.

Chikitsa: Agnimandhya is important factor
in the Samprapti of the disease Grahani
Dosha. So it should be mainly treated for
Agnivardhana by Deepana(carminative
property) and Pachana(digestive property)
drugs. All the treatment modalities of Ajirna
and Atisara should be implemented in the
management of Grahani Ashrita Dosha.9
Procedure: If the Ama moves downwards
and remains adhered to the Pakvashaya,
then patient should be given purgation with
drugs having Agni Deepana property.10
If Dosha are spreaded all over the body then
the Shodhana is contraindicated and the
principle management should be Langhana,
Pachana. Various Deepana Pachana drugs
described in various classics should be
administered along with follow of Laghu
and Supachya Ahara.10
Importance of Takra in Grahani Dosha:
All Ayurvedic classics have showed
importance of Takra as the main diet in Grahani Dosha. Acharya Charaka has also suggested the use Takrarishta in the routine
treatment of Grahani.11
As the Takra is Laghu in Guna, possesses
Deepana properties and attains Madhura
Paka, it does not provoke and increase Pitta;
because of Kashaya Rasa, Ushna Veerya,
Vikasi and Ruksha Gunas it is useful in
Kapha; as freshly churned Takra is Madhur,
slightly Amla, it will not produce Daha in
the Kostha and it is also Vatahara.12

CONCLUSION:
The disorders related to digestion of food
and its absorption is becoming more
common than the past due to our faulty food
habits, which are covered under Grahani
Dosha. They are treated more pronounced
way with considering Ayurvedic concept of
Agni and administrating Deepana and Pachana drugs.

ABSTRACT
Psoriasis is a big issue on health. Its prevalence is around 11% worldwide. According to Ayurveda the main reason of psoriasis and its recurrence is faulty dietary habits and faulty life style.
Due to these reasons Dhosha accumulates in the body and comes in contact with Dushya ( Twak,
Rakta, Mamsa, Ambu) and manifested as Kushtha. Ubhay Marga Shodhana by Vamana and Virachana (biopurification) is very important to expel the Dosha and purify the body. It also effective to break down Dosh-Dushya Sammurchhana of Kushtha. After break down of sammurchhana, Dosha can be treated easily. Hence, biopurification will not only provide fast and best
relief in psoriatic symptoms but also reduces the chances of its recurrence. Thus, biopurification
is essential part of management of Psoriasis.
KEYWARDS: Biopurification, Ekakushtha, Kushtha, Psoriasis.
INTRODUCTION:
Skin is the envelope of internal structure
which protects us from various external invasions. Now a days skin disease are very
common. Though skin diseases are common
at any age of the individual, they are particularly frequent in the elderly. The patients
always experience physical, emotional and
socioeconomic embarrassment in the society. Psoriasis is a common skin condition that
changes the life cycle of skin cells. Psoriasis
causes cells to build up rapidly on the surface of
the skin. The extra skin cells form thick, silvery
scales and itchy, dry, red patches that are sometimes painful. Psoriasis is a persistent and long-
lasting
(chronic)
disease.
Psoriasis is
an autoimmune disease. The underlying mechanism involves the immune system reacting
to skin cells1. Psoriasis is also thought to be
a genetic disease which is triggered by some
environmental factors. Sometimes patients family member afraid to spreading of psoriasis in
other member but it is not contagious disease2.
In allopathic science, psoriasis is treated with
long term use of steroid and only symptomatic,
whereas in Ayurveda, there is wide range of
treatment from purification (Shodhana) therapy
to pacifying (Shamana).

vakarma.
By
Purvakarma(Snehana,
Swedana) Dosha becomes Shithila and
ready to remove outside from body. Because
of its Prabhava, Vamana removes vitiated Kapha from whole body through upper
part of elementary canal14. Vamana Karma
is very effective in skin disorders. According to Dosha Pradhana Lakshana of Kushtha as Matsyashakalopamam (Scaling, elevation and plaque formation) and Kandu (
Itching ) is due to Kapha Dosha. As per
Ayurvedic texts, Kapha is one of the main
vitiated Dosha in Ekakushth8. So Vamana is
the best for excreting vitiated Kapha from
body in Ekakustha. As per literature and
practical view it is noted that itching and
scaling can be reduced by Vamana Karma.
Considering the importance of Vamana in
relieving the psoriatic symptoms, Acharya
Sushruta has suggested to perform it every
15 days15.
Mode of Action of Virechana Karma:
Virechana removes
vitiated Pitta
Dosha from whole body through lower part
of elementary canal16. Pitta Dosha is reside
in Rakta Dhatu. Therefore the purificative
measures of Pitta Dosha, also improve the
Rakta Dhatu. In Charaka Samhita it is mentioned that Kushtha is due to Rakta Dushti17.
In this way, Virechana is effective procedure for the management of Ekakustha.
The line of treatment of Raktaja Roga :
This way Virechana can apply for Rakta
Shuddhi( Blood purification) purpose in
Kushtha. Ekakushtha is mainly VataKaphaja dominant Vyadhi but Pitta Dosha
is also involved in the pathophysiology of
the disease. Thus Virechana will remove
vitiated Pitta and at the same time purifies
vitiated Rakta. So Acharya Sushruta has
suggested to perform Virechana every one
month19.
www.iamj.in
DISCUSSION:
Shodhana is foremost part of the
management of the Kushtha disease. So that
Acharya has advised to perform all the Panchakarma purificative procedure again and
again.19 Among all the five type of Panchakarma, Vamana and Virechana are major
purifying Karma, which excrete the elevated
Kapha20 and Pitta Dosha20 as well do Anulomana of Vayu too21. Hence in this review
article emphasis given to Ubhay Shodhana
(bio purification) i.e. Vamana and
Virechana.
Why Bio purification: Acharya Charaka
mentioned Kushtha as Dirgharoganam22
that means it is long lasting disease and
practically recurrences of psoriasis is also
observed.
23
If the Dosha are pacified with Langhana
or Pachana therapy, there may be chances
of recurrences of that disease. But if they are
removed with Samshodhana, there is not
possibility of its recurrences. Similarly, if
biopurification (Vamana and Virechana) is
performed prior to Shamana therapy recurrence chance can be reduced considerably.
Moreover, if the Shamana treatment is given
after the proper Shodhan, it provides better
effect. So that the Ayurvedic classics emphasize on purification with the example to colour the cloth. If the cloth is coloured without
its washing, it is not properly coloured while
if it is done with its proper washing, it coloured appropriately. Similarly, medicine
given after the Urdhvaga and Adhoga Shuddhi or Ubhaya Marga Shuddhi, will provide
desirable effect24.
CONCLUSION:
Therefore, the conclusion can be drawn that
the bio purification (Vamana and
Virechana) should be performed prior to
Shamana therapy in the management of Psoriasis, for reduction of its recurrence and to
obtain the optimal effect of Shamana therapy.

ABSTRACT
In Ayurveda the disease Sandhigata Vata resembles with OA. Modern medicines like Nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) are mainly prescribed for its treatment. These
medicines provide symptomatic relief, but the underlying pathology remains unchecked. In
Ayurveda, application of Bahya Snehan (External oleation), Swedana (fomentation), Abhyantara Tikta Snehapana (medicated ghee), Basti (medicated enema) treatment are prescribed in the management of Sandhigata Vata. Basti is prime treatment for various vata disorders which includes Sandhigat vata. Karpasasthyadi Taila mentioned in Charak
chikitsasthan for management of various Vata related disorders.1 Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of Karpasasthyadi Taila Matra Basti2 in Sandhigata vata. Materials & Method: In the
present study, 30 patients of Sandhigata Vata were given Karpasasthyadi Taila Matra Basti .
Subjective assessment by classical symptoms Sandhi Shoola, Sandhi Shotha, Vatapurna Druti
Sparsha, Graha (Restricted movement), Oxford pain chart, WOMAC (Western Ontario and
McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) index of O.A. for knee by Visual analog scale,
Walking time for 10 meters were graded according to their severity. Result: Significant
(P<0.05) result were found in all cardinal symptoms of Sandhi Shoola, Sandhi Shotha , Vatapurna Druti Sparsha, Graha (Restricted movement). Conclusion: Karpasasthyadi Taila Matra
Basti was significant in the subjective symptoms of Sandhigata Vata.
KEYWORDS: Sandhigat vata, Osteoarthritis, Karpasasthyadi Taila, Matra Basti.
INTRODUCTION
In todays present scenario it has become
really important for every one to maintain
a physical and mental balance. With so
much of pollution in environment, food
adulteration, untimely working hours and
unhealthy life style it has become
mandatory for everyone to look after our
health. Leading an improper lifestyle or
consuming stale foods/ cold foods/ processed foods/ fermented foods and either
doing over exercises or not doing any exercises at all results in vitiation of doshas
mainly vata dosha.3 The vital force, vata is
concerned with all sort of movements
ranging from joint and muscle movements
to the movements at the cellular level.
When this vata is well harmonized functions in a balanced manner, it results in
healthy joints. When there is an imbalance
or disharmony, it results in various kinds
of ailments. Ayurveda describes old age as

vata age, which is why a majority of patients suffering from Sandhigata Vata fall
in this age group. Sandhigata Vata vyadhi
commonly involves major joints namely
hip, knee, shoulder etc. Out of these Janu
sandhi is commonly involved since it is
weight bearing joint. Janusandhigata Vata
presents with symptoms of shool(pain),
shoth(edema), chankramana kashtata
(pain during movement) etc. According to
modern science, the disease is managed by
NSAIDS, analgesic drugs corticosteroids
etc. Potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs run the risk of producing side
effects like gastric erosion, hepatic and
nephro toxicity etc. Even surgery statistically reveals to have considerable failure
rate in knee replacement. Its a limitation
in contemporary science to provide a comprehensive effective management. So research works in Ayurveda has evident
scope in this condition. In Charaka Samhita for Ashti pradoshaja vikaras, Panchakarma treatment is described.4 Among
these Pancharma, Basti chikitsa is regarded as the prime treatment modality. It
is considered as the best treatment for vata
dosha.5 It is explained that Matra basti can
be given to almost everybody, in all the
seasons and it can be given with maximum
ease and has no complications thereafter.6
In ayurvedic samhitas different siddhataila
has described to treat Sandhigata vata.
Karpasasthyadi taila (Charak samhitaVatavyadhi chikitsa adhyaya) is one of
them. Due to increased prevalence of this
disorder it has become a major problem
and burden for society, as it directly reduces the working potency resulting in
dependency. All the above factors inspired

ABSTRACT
Infertility is the most common gynecological problem which many couples in 21st century are facing. According to mayo clinic USA about 20% of cases of infertility are due to the problems in the
men. About 40 to 50% of the cases of the infertility are due to problems in both men & women.
Increasing rate of infertility has become challenging for gynecologists. As the allopathic treatment
developed upon hormone supplementation, surgical procedure & artificial reproductive technique,
its the turn of ayurved & yog to give solution & active conception by natural method to give
healthy offspring. Yoga is one among oldest system of health care in the world which uniquely
perceived an intimate relationship between lifestyle of an individual to its health & disease. In
Yogsutra, Achary Patanjali explained various asanas. These asanas are very helpful in controlling
the mind as well as other element of the body. By the regular practicing the asanas the reproductive organs get strengthen & the neuro-mascular co-ordination improve. Also hormonal imbalance
gets corrected. Review study concluded that modern life style stress is mainly responsible for abnormal condition like infertility and yogasanas a part of yoga therapy place significant effect in
treating infertility.
Keywords: infertility, yogasanas, reproductive organ, mind, yogshastra, stress.
INTRODUCTION
Reproduction is one of the most important
biological functions for all life forms. For
most couples having children is a somewhat
primal need & inability to reproduce can be
divesting individuals and couples. There are
certain myths about infertility. One of them
is that infertility is not a problem in countries with high fertility rates. Paradoxically
countries with higher fertility rate also have

child bearing on account of education & carrier. Fertility rates have been shown to decline with increasing age of spouse with duration of marriage, presumably secondary to
decrease in sexual activity. Exposure to excessive heat at work places increasing risk
of oligospermia & also affect the quality of
sperm. Occupational exposures also have
demonstrated increased risk of idiopathic
infertility. Exposure to radiation which may
be occupational, accidental, iatrogenic or
therapeutic can contribute to infertility. Exposure to pesticides can link with poor
sperm function in men. Unhygienic obstetrical practices & inappropriate gynecological
practices leading to postpartum infections,
unsafe abortion etc. may also cause infertility. Any psychiatric illness can cause hypothalamic dysfunction & un ovulatory infertility. Infertility as a major reproductive
health concern . In many cultures the consequences of infertility can be devasting specially for women.
Etiology according to modern science:
A. Causes of female infertility
- Ovulatory dysfunction e.g. un- ovulation
- Tubal factors e.g. obstruction of tubal lumen
- Peritoneal factors e.g. endometriosis
- Uterine factors e.g. inadequate secretory
endometrium
- Cervical factors e.g. chronic cervicitis
- Vaginal factors e.g. frequency & timing of
coitus
B. Causes of male infertility
-Defective spermatogenesis
-Obstruction of the efferent duct system
-Failure to deposit sperm high in the vagina
-Defect in the sperm & seminal fluid

,dhyan ,samadhi. Yam ,niyam ,asan and pranayam are clubbed together as bahirang yog
and are practiced for mental and physical
health..Dharana ,dhyan,samadhi are considered parts of antarang yog .Pratyahar is
considered by some as a bridge between bahirang and antarng yog.
Role of asanas in infertility:
In the Yogsutras,Patanjali defines asan as to
be seated in a position that is firm but relaxed. Patanjali mentions the ability to sit
for extended periods as one of the eight
limbs of his system known as ashtang yog
Asanas are also performed as physical exercise where they are sometimes reffered to as
yog posture or yogpositions. Some asanas
are regularly performed by many practitioners just for health purpose.Asanas do promote good health although in different ways
compared to physical exercises placing the
physical body in positions that cultivate also
awareness, relaxation & concentration
Common practices:In the Yogsutras the only rule Patanjali
suggests for practising asan is that it be
steady & comfortable. The body is head
poised with the practitioner experiencing no
discomfort. When the control of the body is
mastered, practitioners are believed to free
themselves from the duality of heat or cold,
hunger or satiety, joy or grief which is the
first step towards the unattachment that relieves suffering. Listed below are the traditional rules for performing asanas.
1. The stomach should be empty.
2. Force or pressure should not be used.
3. Lower the head and other parts of the
body slowly, in particular, raised heels
should be lowered slowly.
4. The breathing should be controlled. The
benefits of asanas increased if the spe-

CONCLUSION
1. Body fat monitor can be used as a
parameter to access symptoms of
medavruddhi.
2. Medavruddhi has been accessed by
anguli pramana & gradations are
done accordingly. These gradations
are related with given standard scale
of body fat percentage by using body
fat monitor. In this way relation between medavruddhi & body fat percentage has been established.

Case Report
INTRODUCTION
Hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP) is not
a single disease entity; it is a group of
clinically
and
genetically
diverse
disorders. Symptoms usually begin in the
thirties or fourties, presenting as
progressive spastic weakness beginning in
the distal lower extremitiesi. However,
there are variants with onset so early that
the differential diagnosis includes cerebral
palsy. Strumpell (German Neurologist)
first described hereditary forms of spastic
paraplegia in 1883, with Lorrain later
providing more extensive detail. HSP is

ABSTRACT
Dosha, Dathu, Mala together form the basis of the body. The balance of these entities represents the healthy state and imbalance will cause various diseases. In normalcy, Dosha will be
performing their own functions and individual Dosha will be having their own specific site.
There are five types of Pitta namely Pachaka, Ranjaka, Sadhaka, Alochaka, Brajaka. The Visesha
Sthana of Pachaka Pitta is said to between Pakwashaya and Amashaya near Jatharagni. The main
function of Pachaka Pitta is said to be digestion of the ingested food. The functions of Pachaka
Pitta can be related to the functions of digestive enzymes, Gastro-intestinal hormones and local
hormones .

INTRODUCTION
The individual is an epitome of the universe.
All the material & spiritual phenomenon of
the universe are present in the individual.
Similarly all those resent in the individual
are also contained in the universe.
Originating in cosmic consciousness, this
wisdom was intuitively received in the
hearts of the ancient scholars. They perceived that consciousness was energy manifested into the five basic principles or elements. Man is microcosm of the nature and
so the five basic elements present in all matter also exists within each individual. Thus
out of the womb of the five elements, all
matter is born. The five basic elements exist
in all matter. Water provides the classic
example: - the solids of iced water are manifestation of the Prithvi Mahabhuta (earth
principle). Latent heat in the ice (Agni)
liquefies it, manifesting into Jala Mahabhuta (water principle). And then eventually
it turns into steam expressing the Vayu
Mahabhuta (air principle) the steam disappears into Akasha or space.[2]Bhuta is that
which is not born out of something, but out
of which something is born. It is the material
cause of substances in the world. When we
say Bhuta we mean that subtle level of existence, where as Mahabhuta refers to gross
level of existence.[3]Panchikarana is the process through which invisible Bhutas combine with each other and form the visible
Mahabhutas in such a way that all Bhutas

There are five types of Pitta namely Pachaka, Ranjaka, Sadhaka, Alochaka, Brajaka. The Visesha Sthana of Pachaka Pitta
is said to between Pakwashaya and

Brief Physio- anatomical understanding of
the Gastro-intestinal tract with reference to
chemical and physical digestion is necessary
to understand physiology of Pachaka Pitta.

ABSTRACT
Dosha, Dathu, Mala together form the basis of the body. The balance of these entities represents the healthy state and imbalance will cause various diseases. In normalcy, Dosha will be
performing their own functions and individual Dosha will be having their own specific site.
There are five types of Vata namely Prana, Udana, Vyana, Samana, Apana. The Visesha Sthana
of Vyana Vata is said as Hrudhaya and also said to moves throughout the shareera. The functions
of Vyana Vata is said to be forcefull ejection of Rasa from Hrudhaya and make it circulate
throughout the body and is also responsible for various movements like flexion, extension, opening and closure of eyelids. The active site of Vyana Vata is Hrudhaya. It makes the circulation of
blood possible by controlling the heart. Vyana makes blood to get forcefully ejected out of the
heart and makes it circulate throughout the body. The sympathetic and parasympathetic control
of heart should be included under Vyana Vata. The functions of Somatic nervous system can also
be ascribed to Vyana Vata since it is responsible for various movements like flexion, extension,
opening and closure of eyelids. The functions of Vyana Vata can be related to the functions of
autonomic and somatic Nervous system.

Mahabhutas in such a way that all Bhutas
are present together in each Drisya Bhuta in
varying degrees of predominance. Thus in

have also been mentioned. [7]
Regarding the Sthana of various Dosha authors have different opinion. Later authors
have added some more Sthana of Dosha.

2) Kalaja bala
3) Yuktikruta bala
1. Sahaja bala- This type of bala is stated
to be prakruta (genetic natural inborn)
and it exists right from birth4. It is inherent in every individual to lesser to greater degree. It is said to increase with genuine growth of the dhatus and does not
depend on any other cause. Some individuals are observed as physically strong
from their birth whereas some are observed as physically weak from very
birth.
2. Kalaja bala - This type of bala is influenced by seasonal traits and the age of
person.
3.Yuktikruta bala- The three factors, which
are capable of affecting the yuktikruta bala,
are ahara, cheshta and yoga.[4] (rasayan
prayog).Yuktikruta bala refers to resorting to
appropriate nutrition such as meat, milk and
ghee etc. Physical exercise is depletory, impletory and restorative and rasayana therapies in keeping the seasonal needs. In
doshasamyavastha, annapachana by agni
leads to arogya-pushti,ayu,bala,vruddhi.
The individual can achieve yuktikruta bala
from ahara only after conversion of complex food particle into absorbable ones in
respective strotas after action of jatharagni.
Agni is the ultimate and unavoidable entity
which is responsible for bioconversion of
ahara into ahara rasa. Ahara Rasa nourishes dhatus by various nyayas. The bodily
movement which produce firmness and
strength is known as vyayama. One gets
lightness, capacity to work, firmness, tolerance of difficulties, diminution of impurity
and stimulation of Agni.[5] Agni vrudhi is
ultimate benefit of vyayama if practiced in
moderation. Acharya Sushruta included
vyayama in anagnisweda (sudation without

the use of fire ) as one of the effective measure when agrevated vata is associated with
kapha and medas..[6] According to
Chakrapani the strength begins to develop
by regular diet, rest and exercises.The jatharagni plays an important role in generation,
restoration of
yuktikruta bala from
ahara.The restoration of yuktikruta bala depends on the normal functioning of Agni i.e.
dahana and pachana of Ahara.
The rasayana Therapy aims specially at the promotion of strength and Vitality. It is stated to contribute to the integrity of the Sapta dhatus and thus increase the
longevity. It preserves the youth, maintains
optimum strength of the body and senses.
Agni is medium for rasayana to act on various dhatus to maintain integrity and perform
various activity. The normalcy of Agni enables dravyarupa rasayana to produce supreme sharir bhavas to generate yuktikruta
bala. Ahara and vyayama stabilizes the
body.
DISCUSSION
Yuktikruta bala is dependent on chesta,
ahara and rasayan prayoga.
Chesta which is predominantly depends on
mamsa ,medas and asthi dhatu. If
dhatvagni is not in normal state then
absence of lassitude, Stability, feeling of
lightness, ability to withstand exertion,
reduction of corpulence is not possible
which are the benefits of vyayama.
The term rasayana has a specific meaning.
Drug, Diet and Regimens which promotes
longevity, preventing ultimately ageing
and disease are called rasayana. The effects of rasayana therapy are longevity
(good long life),memory, intelligence,
good health, youthfulness, bright complexion depends upon the normal func-

ABSTRACT
Ageing is an inevitable change for not only human kind but all living creatures. In Ayurveda jara
chikitsa (geriatrics) is mentioned as one of 8 branches (Sushuruta samhita) and jara is said to be
swabhavika vyadhi. Ayurveda has given unique importance to geriatric care . In Ayurveda the
concept of anti-ageing is embodied in Rasayana. Rasayana therapy helps to prevents ageing and
its ill effects. It provides longevity, immunity against diseases and improves mental and intellectual competence. Various single and combination of drugs like Vayasthapana mahakashaya having Rasayana properties have been mentioned in ancient treaties which helps in overall nourishment of different dhatu. Rasayana drugs possess strong anti-oxidant activities. This activity is
responsible for combating the effect of ageing, stress, diabetes and auto immune diseases.
Aacharya charaka has given unique importance to Vayasthapana Mahakashaya for maintaining
vitality and managing ageing and its allied ill effects.
The purpose of this paper is to put forward and reestablish the role of vayasthapana mahakashaya
drugs in alleviating age related disorders and its uses in Geriatric health and care potential.
Key words: Ageing, Ayurveda, Rasayana, Vayasthapana Mahakashaya.
INTRODUCTION
Ageing is defined as gradual biological impairment of normal functions, probably as a
result of changes made into the cells and
structural components. These changes would
consequently have a direct impact on functional ability of organs and biological symptoms. Ayurveda counters the aging and its
allied ill-effects with three pronged approach. First it recommends the countering
of aging and its adverse effects by use of
Vayasthapak drugs (age stabilizers) and the

Charaka has briefly defined Rasayana
as the measure by which one gets Rasa, Rakta, and etc Dhatu in its best
condition. Sushruta has defined Rasayana as the therapy, which establishes the age (Vayasthapana), increases the life span (Ayuskar), intelligence (Medha) and strength (Bala)
as well as it enables the person to rid
of the diseases.
Mechanism of Action of Rasayana
therapy
The word Rasayana is a combination of
two separate words Rasa and ayana. The
word Rasa in this context means the first
liquid tissue which nourishes all the tissues in the body and Ayana is its circulation. This means that if rasa dhatu is
produced in optimum quality and quantity, then naturally all the tissues in the
body will be nourished properly.x
Rasayana acts through various ways It
improves micro-circulation and been reported that the Rasayanas are rejuvenators, nutritional supplements and possess strong antioxidant activities. They
also exert antagonistic action on oxidative stressors, giving rise to the for-

DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION
Hence this present review on the
Vayasthapana mahakashaya dravya and its
potential uses WSR to Geriatric care provide information that all of these dravyas
having capability to stable the process ageing before time and protect body and protect
geriatic disorders in old age. In Ayurveda
these drugs are grouped as Vayasthapana
Drugs. The various types of Rasayana therapy are useful for specific as well as general
use of it. Both dravyabhuta and adravyabhuta form of rasayanas are important for promote general well being and in specific conditions relating to geriatrics. If a person
takes these herbal drugs regularly, become
youth for longer time, so these dravyas are
known as Rasayana. Others may call it as
one which provides more than 100 years of
healthy life. (Dalhana Su. Su.1). Acharya
charaka considered Amlaki as the best
vayasthapana dravya. Modern research also
covered a lot of pharmacological screening
of most of these rasayana and vayasthapana
herbs. The possible mechanisms by which
action of Rasayana can be interpreted with
modern aspects are as follows Immunomodulatory action - Prevents recurrent in-

.There is very less amount of gases transported through plasma hence ancient scholars not clearly mentioned regarding vahana
of prana through artery and veins This includes respiration as well as pulmonary and
systemic circulation hence Charak might be
called as mahastrotasam, Thus Charak and
Susharut both described nicely and clearly
about pranavaha strotas.

and Calcium. Vitamin C increases the absorption of non-haem iron by two to three
times. There is a dose-related effect; the
more Vitamin C in a meal, the greater the
iron absorption. Chincha is also a good supplement of vitamin C along with Takra will
potentiate the effect of absorbtion of iron
and helps in Pandu Nashana.
CONCLUSION
1. Chinchadi Leha in the dose of 6 gms once
daily for a period of 30 days proved effective in relieving all symptoms of Pandu.
2. The overall effect of treatment has shown
statistically highly significant i.e., p value
<0.001 in all subjective and objective parameters.
3. The palatability and single dose was acceptable by patients which enhanced amenability by patients to the drug regimen.

ABSTRACT
During the transition of children into adults, many of them get afflicted with behavioural
disorders which signals the alterations in affective domain along with disruption of
cognitive domain. Yoga is evolving as effective therapy for behavioural modifications which
can be used for improving cognitive and affective potentials of the children. Objectives: To
study the effect of Yoga therapy on cognitive and affective domains among school going
children. Methods: Sixty school going children aged 13 to 15 years were selected from local
schools and randomized into yoga group and wait list control group. Study group practised
the given yoga module one hour daily in morning for two months while control group did
not receive any intervention during this period. Cognitive domain was assessed on five tests
taken from NIMHANS neuropsychological battery for children manual and Affective
domain was assessed by Positive and Negative Affect Scale for Children (PANASC).Results: Attention, visual memory, comprehension and auditory verbal learning showed
significant improvement at p<0.001. At PANAS-C, Positive affect and Positivity ratio
improved at p<0.001 and p<0.01 respectively. Discussion: Significant difference between
two groups on cognitive and affective test indicates the improved awareness and perceptive
abilities in cognitive domain along with enhanced mental attitude in overcoming usual
stressors and increase in positive attitude of affective domain. Conclusion: Yoga therapy is
effective in improving cognitive capacities and affective abilities among school going
children.

ABSTRACT
Sthaulya is abnormal and excess accumulation of Meda Dhatu. In contemporary medical
science it is compared with obesity and it is defined as excess body and visceral fat that poses
health risk. As we see the Samprapti of Sthaulya, due to Meda-Dhatwagni Mandya there is
excessive accumulation of Meda that leads to obstruction of Medovaha Strotasa. Due to this,
there is Vimargagamana of Vata Dosha. The Vimargaga Vayu in Koshta ultimately increases
the Jatharagni leading to an increase in appetite. This cycle goes on and on. This study was
taken by looking at the present statistics of the incidence and prevalence of Obesity. In
present study 30 patients were randomly selected and divided into two groups of 15 patients
each. Gomutra Haritiki and Vrikshamla(extract) were given to Group I and Group II
respectively for 60 days. After the completion of trial comparative efficacy and safety profile
of both the formulations were assessed on different subjective and objective parameters.
Result and Discussion revealed that both Gomutra Haritiki and Vrikshamla(extract) were
quite effective in relieving both subjective and objective parameters after the course of 60
days.

INTRODUCTION
Previously, the stigma of infectious
diseases was the most common concern of
the health sector, especially in the
developing nation like India.
But
gradually with advancements in the
medical health sciences, such infectious
diseases are now more or less well under
human control. More recently, there had
been a major shift in the thrust area of
medical concern from the infectious to
non-infectious
diseases
or
noncommunicable diseases1. Very rightly,
such
non-infectious
diseases
are,
otherwise, known as the lifestyle
diseases as their causation has been very

DISCUSSION:
A. Probable Mode of Action of
Drugs: In Ayurveda, the action of drugs
is determined on pharmacodynamic factors
as Rasa, Guna, Veerya and Vipaka along
with certain specific properties called
Prabhava (Karma), which cannot be
explained on these principles inherited by
the drugs. These drugs in combination act
as antagonist to the main morbid factors
i.e. Dosha and Dushya to cause Samprapti
Vighatana to all of the symptoms of the
disease.
Gomutra Haritiki:
In Gomutra Haritiki the only constituents
are Gomutra and Haritiki. Gomutra has
Tikshana, Ushana and Laghu Guna, while
Haritiki has laghu and Ruksha Guna. Both
the constituents have predominance of
Vayu and Agni Mahabhuta. So by means
of such properties both drugs have a
negative impact on Kaphavridhi and
Medovridhi. Also Gomutra Haritiki have
Deepana, pachana properties which
stimulate Jathargani along with Dhatvagni

DISCUSSION
High frequency twinning suggests
the vitiation of body humours in excessive
amount in a large number of people sharing
something in common on the basis of
seasonal, traditional (food and lifestyle),
geographical and cultural backgrounds,
indicating the disturbance and widespread
effects on human reproductive system. It is
a pathology pointing towards the deviation
of normal processes of the body due to
change in composition of body humours
which has resulted in disequilibrium of body
elements at subtle level. The complex
interaction between etiological factors in
terms of number of factors, the manner of
interaction and depth or bonding of
interaction at different levels governs this
pathology, which may not be the reason for
twining only but for the other associated
adverse outcomes of pregnancy also.
According to ayurveda twinning itself is
highly pathological. This is lined up as
chronic pathology which results as vitiation
of body humours sufficient enough to direct

ABSTRACT
In Ayurveda, Marma was first documented by Acharya Charak. The detailed description of
Marma Sharir is available in Samhitas. Acharya Sushruta stated every aspect of Marma like
definition, signs and symptoms of Marma injury. The total numbers of Marma as described
in Samhitas are 107 in number. Twelve Pranas, the vital energy of the body, are the contents
of the Marma sthana. As Marma are vital points of the body they should be protected from
any injury. Acharya Sushruta believes that Marma Sharir covers the half knowledge of
surgery. Any injury to these points may results into death and physician expert in Marma
therapy, patient will cause some deformity. Acharya Sushruta explains the Marmaviddha
Lakshanas in detail. In similar way like Marma, there are other ancient indian sciences also
in which the vital points of human body are described. Among them kalary payyatu is the
oldest technique. It is a combat science which is introduced to the world by lord parshurama
and inspired by Marma sharir of Ayurveda. The main aim of the study is to understands the
kakshadhara marma ,its applied aspect and to find out any similarity with vital point
explained in kalary payattu.
Key words: - marma, kakshadhara marma, kalary payyatu
INTRODUCTION
Marma is one of the most widely
described at the same time one of the most
debated topics in the Bruhatrayees. The
word marma appeared in Vedic period. In
dictionaries the word Marman means
mortal sport, vulnerable point, weak or
sensitive part of body, joint or articulation,
core of anything, vital structure. Marma in
Ayurvedic classics is illustrated as the vital
point in human body, the injury of which
leads to termination of life. In olden times
a vaidya had to deal with more exigencies

It is very clear that these two marmas having
similar traumatic effect.
This traumatic effect occurs due to Brachial
plexus injury.
CONCLUSION:
From the above discussion it is concluded
that, phanam marma of kalary payyatu is
having same location as well as same
traumatic effects like kakshdhara marma.
The structures lies at the kakshadhara
marma region is brachial plexus only.

INTRODUCTION
In ayurveda the sharir is given prime importance as one among those factors which
contributes to ayu of an individual, the other
factors being indriya, satwa, atma. This complete knowledge about sharira at all times is
very much essential for a physician in order to
provide a healthy life for mankind. The
essentiality of praman is depicted in the fundamentals of ayurveda as , the mana/ praman of
hitayu, ahitayu, sukhayu, and dukhayu is the
one which constitutes ayurveda.1 Ayurvedic

On PRAMANA : In ayurveda ,pramanas
are considered as the methods for gaining
knowledge. Anguli pramana is used to
quantitatively express the dimensions of the
human body part. Acharya charak considered
as it as one among the dashvidh parikshabhavas. In the era of sushrutacharya and charakacharya ,swa-anguli pramana is used for
estimating the anga-pratyang and other body
