Introduction: Ahara, Nidra and Brahmacharya are three sub-pillars, which support the main pillar, the body itself. Health is the supreme foundation for the achievement of happy life. Objective of Ayurveda is to accomplish the physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being, by adopting the preventive and promotive approach as well as treating the diseases with various remissive approaches. Aim: 1. To compare the effect of Goksheera and Mahishaksheera w.s.r. to improve the Quality of Sleep. Objectives: 1. To Assess the Effect of Goksheera to improve the Quality of Sleep. 2. To Assess the Effect of Mahishaksheera to improve the Quality of Sleep. 3. To Compare the Efficacy of Goksheera and Mahishaksheera to improve the Quality of Sleep. Methodology: - People who fulfill the eligibility criteria was selected who are voluntarily willing to participate in the study and assessed their quality of sleep by Using PQSI scale and advising Goksheera and Mahishaksheera in Luke warm condition 1 hr. before going to bed for 1 month. The selected Subjects are advised to maintain a sleep dairy to confirm sleeping/sleepless pattern. The data was collected before treatment and after treatment follow up, the intervention was compared and analyzed by using Wilcoxon Signed Rank W test and Mann –Whitney U test applied after consulting the Biostatistician. Ethical clearance: Was obtained from Institutional Ethics Committee of Parul Institute of Ayurveda, Parul University. Observations and Results: On Quality of Sleep is assessed by PQSI Scale, improvement showed were in Sleep Quality (58.12%), Sleep latency (60.35%), Sleep duration (65.72%), Sleep efficiency (60.40%), Sleep disturbances (56.99%), Daytime dysfunction (63.58%), and Global score PSQI (71.77%). Conclusion: Both Goksheera and Mahishaksheera have shown the beneficial effect, in the improvement of Quality of Sleep. But in between two groups, Mahishaksheera had shown more significant result, to improve the Quality of Sleep. Hence, the Null Hypothesis rejected.

The present study involves the evaluation of pharmacognostic parameters of the four herbal drugs (Azadirachta indica leaves, Pterocarpus marsupium heartwood, Picrorhiza kurroa rhizomes, and Withania coagulans berries and fruit coat), High performance Liquid chromatography (HPLC) as well as antidiabetic activity of polyherbal extract. The qualitative as well as quantitative analysis was done. The drug was given to Streptozotocin induced diabetic rats in doses 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg body weight for 21 days. In HPLC analysis it was found that major component in all the extracts was beta carotene along with hesperidin, tannic acid, catechin, ferulic acid, caffeic acid along with other polyphenolic components responsible for the antioxidant activity as well as antidiabetic activity of polyherbal extract. Rats were found to show an increase in body weight, improved blood sugar levels and hemoglobin. The liver glycogen, total proteins, serum lipid profile were restored back to normal range after using the polyherbal extract in diabetic rats. The histopathological study also shows an improvement in diabetic rats at cellular level. The results were found to be dose dependent.

During COVID-19, while many drugs from conventional medicine (CM) were falling short, those from Ayurveda, Siddha, Herbal Medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) showed promising potential. The published recovery-aimed clinical studies on medicines from above-mentioned systems were retrieved. For CM, meta-analyses of studies using ICMR-protocol drugs, viz. hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, favipiravir, ivermectin & remdesivir were searched. For other systems, preferably active-controlled, stand-alone studies, were considered. Their general characteristics, efficacy and safety outcomes were documented. The outcomes were evaluated on basis of a methodology inspired from ‘WHO-Minimal common outcome measure set for COVID-19 clinical research’. The CM drugs were utilized either in multiple combinations or independently. Most studied combination was HCQ and azithromycin. HCQ efficacy was studied in biggest sample. These drugs did not exhibit significant efficacy for early clinical recovery and viral clearance. The adverse event (AE) incidences were also prominent. Barring TCM, studies using Ayurveda regime Tab. Immunofree and Cap. Regimmune and CVO+C, were done in only symptomatic patients. The efficacy of Tab. Immunofree- Cap. Regimmune regime was better than conventional care including azithromycin and favipiravir. The AE incidences in these studies were minimal. Medicines from alternative systems except CM exhibited better efficacy and safety in all outcome measures.

Diabetes Mellitus is in top ten list of diseases causing mortality. In the year 2011, estimated 366 million people were found to be suffering from diabetes mellitus. By year 2030 this morbidity data will rise to approximately 552 million people worldwide. India is having the largest number of diabetics in the world and gets the name ‘Diabetic capital’. This study was carried out with an aim:-‘To Conduct a Randomised Controlled (Upashayatmaka) Trial on the role of Mamajjaka capsule in the management of Madhumeha (DM type-2)’. In this study total 110 patients of Diabetes were selected from NIA hospital and randomly divided into two groups. Group A (Control group) comprise 54 patients were administered with Tab. Metformin and dose was 500mg tablet 1 BD before meals as advised according to allopathic consultant. Group B (Trial group) comprise 56 patients were administered with Cap. Mamajjaka, dose: 500 mg Capsule 2 BD, before 30 min. of meal with lukewarm water. Total duration trial was 100 days. Results obtained in subjective and objective parameters were analysed for the statistical significance by adapting paired T test and unpaired T test. The study revealed that Group-B was found to be more effective in bringing symptomatic relief and Group-A was found to be more effective in improving biochemical markers in the patients of Madhumeha. Cap. Mamajjaka (Enicostemma littorale Linn.) provided better results, suggests that this can be a good complimentary medicine for the patients who are not getting good relief from modern medicine alone.

Introduction: Students are willing to cut back on sleep in order to adapt and cope with their stressful work load and environment. This study examines the prevalence of stress and its relationship with sleep quality. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using available sampling of male and female students of the Nursing and Midwifery Faculty of Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz in 2022. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire was used to measure sleep quality and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale Questionnaire was used to measure stress. Results: The prevalence of all levels of stress among students was 53.2% (140 people). 61 people (23.2%) experienced mild stress, 35 students (13.3%) experienced moderate stress, and 44 students (16.7%) experienced severe stress. The average score of Kessler's psychological distress (K10) of the participants was 21.9 ± 7.3 (maximum = 50). No significant relationship was observed between stress and gender (p=0.25) and academic year (p=0.72). There was a statistically significant relationship between sleep quality and stress (p < 0.001). Conclusion: This study reports the high prevalence of stress and poor sleep quality in students of Ahvaz College of Nursing and Midwifery. This study shows a strong connection between sleep quality and stress.

Background: Vitiligo is one of the most hypopigmented disorders of the skin, it can be correlated with Swetha kuttam or ven kuttam or ven pulli mentioned in Siddha classical literature. Current therapeutic management available for vitiligo is only moderately effective in controlling further severity of symptoms. Hence in recent times, people rely most on alternative complementary treatments for the management of vitiligo. The research articles have shown the following bio-active compounds present in the selected herbs Kaempferol, Quercetin, Anacardic acid, Glabridin, Isovitexin, Aristolochic acid and Hydnocarpin which is already mentioned in the Siddha literature for the management of vitiligo(venkuttam). Objective: This research article attempts to carry out the molecular docking analysis of the chosen herbal bioactive components against the target enzyme Tyrosinase in Vitiligo. Methods: Docking calculations were done for the obtained bio-active compounds including Kaempferol from Indigofera aspalathoides(Vahl.), Quercetin from Smilax china(Linn.), Tinosporide from Tinospora cordifolia(Willd.)Hook.f.&Thoms, Anacardic acid from Semecarpus anacardium (Linn.), Glabridin from Glycyrrhiza glabra(Linn.), Isovitexin from Psoralea corylifolia (Linn.), Oleic acid from Nigella sativa(Linn.), Aristolochic acid from Aristolochia bracteolata (Lam.) & Hydnocarpin from Hydnocarpus laurifolia (Dennst.) Sleumer against Tyrosinase(PDB)-1WX3, the intended protein. Results: Nine bioactive compounds have been screened in total, the following leads as Quercetin, Glabridin, Isovitexin and Hydnocarpin which interact with target to form four interactions with 70–100% binding effectiveness with the protein – Tyrosinase enzyme. Conclusion: The computational analysis led to the conclusion that the bioactive molecules present in the chosen herbals had significant binding efficacy and may exert promising anti-vitiligo properties.

Background: Yoga has garnered considerable public interest and attention across various countries worldwide, frequently being suggested as a means to enhance one's health. It encompasses more than mere physical exercises, incorporating a distinct philosophical outlook and psychological processes. This aspect is crucial when integrating exercises into today's unique cultural milieus. Aim: To determine the effect of selected yoga postures in treating backache. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was chosen to substantiate the objectives of this study. Seven different postures were considered; eight respondents recorded their responses after the yoga therapy. A purposive sampling technique has been followed to acquire the data. The data were screened and analysed using a one-sample t-test to signify the effectiveness of the yoga postures. Moreover, ANOVA is used to analyse posture comparison and compute whether all participants obtained the same relief. Furthermore, twelve cohorts participated in an awareness seminar and took part in thirteen different treatments; the effectiveness of such treatments was gauged via t-test. Results: Significant levels of relief were identified. However, the extent of relief among participants was different. Conclusion: This study adds to the literature related to the effect of yoga in reducing back pain. The study results can be used to create awareness of providing conventional treatment substitutions.

Proximal 5th metatarsal (MT) fractures are a common sequel of foot injury and painful nonunion is one of its well-described consequences. The purpose of this study is to present the manifestation and determine the effectiveness of ayurvedic healing measure for symptomatic 5th MT non unions. Here we narrate a case study presented with the painful nonunion of 5th metatarsal bone following failure of conventional management. The subject was investigated for following parameters: (1) injury mechanism; (2) time to solid radiographic union; and (3) time to resume usual activities. The subject was monitored until there was a clear clinical and radiological union. The mechanism of injury in this case was a fall over forefoot with plantar flexion, inversion and abduction. The nonunion was demonstrated in radiograph even after 3 months of fracture. “Sarivadi lepa” (therapeutic application of drug) was used as external application and bandaging to reduce pain, inflammation, and compliment healing process of the fracture along with immobilization. By the end of 60 days, radiograph showed evidence of callus formation and solid radiographic union was demonstrated. The subject resumed to his usual activities after complete union and maintained well till last follow up. Thus, we can claim that Sarivadi bandhana (bandaging) is beneficial in subsiding pain, swelling and to facilitate healing of fracture along with immobilization.

The purpose of this study is to present the manifestation and determine the effectiveness of ayurvedic healing measure for symptomatic 5th MT non unions. Here we narrate a case study presented with the painful nonunion of 5th metatarsal bone following failure of conventional management. The subject was investigated for following parameters: (1) injury mechanism; (2) time to solid radiographic union; and (3) time to resume usual activities. The subject was monitored until there was a clear clinical and radiological union. The mechanism of injury in this case was a fall over forefoot with plantar flexion, inversion and abduction. The nonunion was demonstrated in radiograph even after 3 months of fracture. “Sarivadi lepa” (therapeutic application of drug) was used as external application and bandaging to reduce pain, inflammation, and compliment healing process of the fracture along with immobilization. By the end of 60 days, radiograph showed evidence of callus formation and solid radiographic union was demonstrated. The subject resumed to his usual activities after complete union and maintained well till last follow up. Thus, we can claim that Sarivadi bandhana (bandaging) is beneficial in subsiding pain, swelling and to facilitate healing of fracture along with immobilization. We recommend further study on Sarivadi Lepa in larger sample to establish its assistance in fracture healing action.","PeriodicalId":13751,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140780055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Ayurvedic medicine, tailas made by infusing the decoctions of holistic healing herbs in sesame or coconut oil. The current study focuses on the GC MS analysis, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities of one such ayurvedic oil Balaguluchyadi tailam. The oil is recommended for the treatment of neuropathy, gout, arthritis, cataracts, headaches, and neuritis. Antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and the amount of chemicals present in the sample were all examined in the oil using GC-MS analysis. The oil had strong reducing power activity, and the IC50 for the DPPH assay was 389.4 l/ml. The oil also had a significant anti-inflammatory effect. Numerous bioactive chemicals were present, according to the GC-MS study which has anti-inflammatory properties for which balaguluchyadi tailam is recommended for providing instant relief from pain caused due to arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The taila is extremely helpful for retaining vata and rakta balance.
