Aim and Objective: To unveil and document the folklore claims and dietary recipes of Bambusa bambos and Dendrocalamus strictus. Materials and methods: The study was intended to examine the 101 tribal individuals like traditional healers, tribal doctors and elder people in the field trips on their regular utilization of different species of Bamboo. Results: The study explored 13 contemporary folklore claims on B. bambos and D. strictus species solicited from various tribal pockets of Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh and dietary recipes from the tribes of West Godavari and East Godavari districts, Andhra Pradesh. Conclusion: With this study, it can be concluded that various parts of Bambusa bambos and Dendrocalamus strictus are practiced as conventional drugs to treat different ailments by local tribes and conventional healers from Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh. Besides this, the young shoots of Bambusa bambos are a fabulous dietary hotspot for several minerals. This recipe of Bamboo shoots has been in permanence among the tribes of West Godavari and East Godavari districts for the past several generations. Ayurveda has also validated this fact owing to its therapeutic properties. By all its nutritive potential, it can be determined that it is not only good to the taste receptors but also healthy.

Bala in Ayurveda physiology is a multidimensional factor that refers to physical and psychological strength and the ability produced in response to antigen exposure and resistance against the manifestation of disease. It has also been synonymously used for components providing strength, nourishment, and stability to the body such as Oja, Vyadhikshamatva, Balya, Sara, Balavriddhikara Bhava, Prakrita Sleshma. The Bala of a person is determined by a complex interaction of multifactor such as Balavriddhikara Bhava, Dhatu Sarata, Prakriti, indulgence in dietary and behavioural activities, inherent qualities, etc. Further, it has also been opined that the Bala of a person cannot be assessed by just observing his body physique, as it has been seen that a person having a well-formed body does not always have good strength. In contrast, a person with a lean body may have excellent stability. As the Bala of a person serves as an important criterion for assessment of the severity as well as prognosis of disease, there is a need for the development of objective parameters for its assessment and implication in clinical practices.

The term 'Kushtha' can be referred to various skin disorders. 'Dadru' is a type of Kushtha. In Dadru there is pradhanata of Kaphaa nd Pitta Dosha. It exhibits clinical features of Kandu, Raga, Pidika ,Utsanna Mandala. On basis of clinical features Dadru is compared with Tinea by many scholars. Tinea is superficial fungal infection in which the fungi colonises dead keratinized epidermal tissues of skin, hair and nails and produces annular lesions over skin surface. Aim- Efficacy of Sarjadi Lepa Gutika and Terbinafine Ointment along with Tiladi Churna internally in Dadru (Tinea Corporis). Material and Methods – Study contains 60 patients of Dadru which were divided into two groups (3o in each group). In Group A (Intervention) Sarjadi Lepa Gutika for local application twice daily and Tiladi Churna 6gm at morning after meal for 30 days was given. In Group B (Experimental group) Terbinafine Ointment for local application twice daily and Tiladi Churna 6gm at morning after meal 30 days was given. Assessment was recorded on every 15th day (15th day, 30th day and 45th day). Result – Both the groups were equally effective in reducing Kandu, Raaga and Manadala utpatti. Conclusion – : Sarjadi Lepa Gutika is as effective as Terbinafine ointment in the management of Dadru (Tinea corporis) and it may prevent recurrence if combined with Tiladi Churna as Abhyantar Chikitsa.

Aim: Standardization of a Siddha Poly herbal compound formulation is essential for establishing its authentication quantity and efficacy. In this present study, an attempt has been made to standardize the KaranthaiChooranam (a polyherbal formulation that contains 14 plant materials). Hence standardization of traditional drugs becomes highly essential to explore their potency and efficacy in the global market. It has been increasing public interest and acceptance of traditional medicine. Methods: Physico-Chemical analysis, Phyto-Chemical Screening, Particle Size, Pesticide Residue, and Sterility test were performed as per PLIM (Pharmacopeia Laboratory of Indian Medicine) guidelines. Results: The loss of drying of the tested drug was 105°c .KC contains 0.59% acid-insoluble ash and solubility in the water was 9.63 %. Phytochemical screening KC has shown the presence of Alkaloids, Glycosides, Saponins, Phytosterols, Fixed Oil, Resins, Phenols, Flavonoids and Tannins. Microscopic observation of the particle size analysis reveals that the average particle size of the sample was found to be 115.5 ± 42.83 μm. Conculsion: From this set of parameters, it can be concluded that it is sufficient to evaluate the authenticity of KaranthaiChooranam can be used as a reference standard for the preparation of the standardized pharmaceutical product and further quality content research. This study suggests that quality specifications of KC can be developed using parameters described in Siddha along with analytical tools available today.

Background: Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is a hypertensive disorder in pregnancy that occurs in the absence of other causes of elevated blood pressure. There are many complications documented for PIH and associated retinal vascular changes in one of them. During pregnancy if proper antenatal care along with diet is not followed, patient may land into complications like PIH related retinopathy. Aim: To determine the retinal changes in pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and any association between the retinal changes and excess intake of specific Rasa. Methods: All the patients admitted in ward with diagnosis of PIH were included in this study. Age, race, gravida, gestation period, blood pressure, and proteinuria along with dietary habit were noted from the case records. After taking history for any eye symptoms, fundus examination was done after dilating the pupils with direct ophthalmoscope in the ward itself. All the findings were noted on a data sheet, and were analyzed. Results: A total of 24 patients of PIH were examined. Majority were urban (75%) and remaining are from rural area (25%). The majority of patients are from 24-28 years age group followed by below 20 years age group. The gestation period ranged from 20 weeks to 38 weeks; 16 (66.6%) were primi gravida. Nineteen (79.1%) patients had mild preeclampsia, 03 (12.5%) had severe preeclampsia and 2 (8.33%) had eclampsia. Retinal changes (hypertensive retinopathy) were not seen in any of these patients Haemorrhages or exudates or retinal detachment were not seen in any patient. There was no association of retinal changes and Rasa Sevan a found in present pilot study. Conclusion: Retinal changes were not seen in any of the patients with PIH in present study sample and there was not found to be associated with excess intake of specific Rasa and severity of the disease. Fundus examination is necessary in assessment of the PIH patient.

The adolescent stage of life is unique having various physical and psychological changes occurring in the body and in the brain. Academic stress (AS) is largely responsible for adolescents developing mental illnesses. A competitive environment, the pursuit of high scores in marks, peer comparisons, and parental expectations are the most common stressors for an adolescent to develop AS. Early identification of the stressed person, his sensitivity toward stress, and appropriate stress coping can help a person to develop the strength for coping with various stressful situations. Reports and articles published online from the year 1995 to 2022 were taken into account among them 95 articles were identified of which 25 articles had abstracts only were excluded and 70 articles including textbook references were reviewed and discussed. Ayurveda has the unique concept of Prakriti (~somatic constitution) helps a person to recognize himself and to realize his strengths and weaknesses, through which one can ignore or manage stressful situations. This stress coping can be more emphasized with the practice of Sattvavajaya Chikitsa(~Ayurvedic psychotherapy). Sattvavajaya Chikitsa works based on Manonigraha (control of the mind). Sadvrittta (~code of conduct for mental health), Swasthavritta (~measure to uplift general health), Achar Rasayana (~Ayurved code of conduct), Yoga, Surya Namaskar (~sun salutation), and meditation are different ways to practice mindfulness. Proper practice of Manonigraha (~control of mind) creates a connection between the mind, psyche, and body. The long-term practice of Manonighraha helps an academically stressed individual to better cope with stress and has finer mental and physical health.

Background: Cariogenic bacteria has always been considered as the highest risk factor for dental caries. The eradication of microorganisms from the oral health environment is important and hence may remedies have been suggested for its removal for a better oral health. Objectives: To assess the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Cranberry extract and to determine the efficacy and compare the effect of the three products on salivary Streptococcus Mutans count and lactobacilli count.Materials and Methodology: A randomized control, double blind, parallel-group clinical trial was conducted on 75 subjects of age group of 15 years who were divided into three study groups ,Cranberry , Ozonized water and Chlorhexidine mouthwash. Microbial analysis was done by colony counter unit at baseline, 8thday and 15th day of using the mouthwashes. The inter-group variations was analyzed by using One way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc and Repeated measures for intra-group variations at different time intervals. Results: Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli colony count showed a statistically highly significant difference in reduction of colony count between the three groups (p=0.001) at 8th and 15th day of using the mouthwashes. Ozonized water showed better reduction when compared with Cranberry mouth wash in reduction of Streptococcus mutans count. Cranberry mouth wash had shown a better reduction when compared with Ozonized water in reduction of Lactobacilli colony count.Conclusion: The test mouthwash was effective in reducing the microbial count, similar to Chlorhexidine mouth wash. Recent advances may allow the dental community to be exposed to much better oral health care. key words : cranberry, ozone water, streptococcus mutans, lacto bacilli, oral hygiene

The use of conventional drugs for the treatment of pain and inflammation has largely resulted in various side effects. These challenges have triggered the search for alternative therapy such as herbal medication that may serve as a safe, effective, and alternate treatment approach to managing pain and inflammation. Vitex negundo, a potential lipophilic molecule, possesses limited solubility and permeability. Emulgels are either water-in-oil or oil-in-water type emulsions, mixed with a gelling agent to form a gel for the delivery of lipophilic active ingredients. Therefore the current study is undertaken for the effective delivery of vitex negundo locally in the form of oil-in-water emulgel for improving solubility and permeability. The emulgel was formulated from carbopol 934 with vitex negundo in mineral oil emulsion using tween 80 (surfactant), and triethanolamine (co-surfactant). The formulations were optimized using the design of experiment software. The optimized emulgel formulation containing Smix (tween 80 and triethanolamine) ratio of 61.90, mineral oil 50.58%, and carbopol 934 3% showed a pH of 6.5±0.3, a viscosity of 17793 – 939 cps, and spreadability of 7.07 g.cm/s. Data from in-vitro and ex-vivo diffusion studies demonstrated improved permeability properties. The stability of the optimized emulgel formulation was additionally examined at ambient temperature for 28 days. The emulgel remained stable for 28 days. Based on the overall results we can conclude that emulgel can be a promising and suitable formulation for the application of vitex negundo.
