Ayurveda is an ancient medical system that addresses both the state of Swasthya, or optimal human health, and a broad range of illnesses and associated therapies. One of the most frequent issues in pediatric OPD is diaper rash. According to Ashang Hridaya, Maloplep (contained faeces) and Sweda (sweat/perspiration) both causes Kandu (irritability), Daha (burning sensation) and Tamra Varna (redness), Strava (discharge), Vrana (wound formation around the perianal region), Pidika (papulovesicular lesion) around the Guda area (napkin area). In Ahiputana there is Pitta, Kapha and Rakta Dosha Prakop (increase). In present case report, a 11-month-old female baby patient presented in Balrog OPD 13 of Sane Guruji Rugnalaya, Hadapsar, Pune, with complaints of loose motion episodes, itching and redness associated with discharge and burning sensation for 3 days and was treated with external application of Triphala Khadir Yoga. After complete treatment of 10 days, there was complete remission in the symptoms and there is no recurrence till date. From the current case report, it can be inferred that Ahiputana (diaper rash) can be successfully treated with the appropriate Ayurveda medications.

In recent years, chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a centre of attraction for researchers all over the world, due to increasing incidence. However, delayed diagnosis and lack of proper management has made it one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In the earlier phase of the disease, relief to the patients can be provided based on chief complaints. But as the disease progresses, only dialysis and kidney transplants remain the line of treatment according to the mainstream system of medicine, thus leading to a large number of side effects and ultimately decreasing the life expectancy. In Ayurveda, CKD is not mentioned in the Samhita directly, but it can be correlated with Vataj pandu according to similarities in some of the symptoms and causes of these two diseases as mentioned in ancient literature. We can also look out for the Nidaan and Samprapti according to the history given by the patient and evaluate the Dosh, Dushya, and the Srotas involved, and then devise a line of treatment according to the patient's Bala, Prakriti, Agni and Oja. In this article, we're going to talk about an aspect of CKD that can be used as a part of management to improve the quality of life and give hope to all the patients suffering from this disease.

Ayurveda is a science of life as it defines health and factors responsible for its maintenance and promotion. It is one of the oldest traditional systems of medicine which comprises of thousands of concepts and hypothesis. The primary objective of Ayurveda includes maintenance of health and prevention of diseases. At present, dizziness and vertigo are common symptoms in the patients with the rising prevalence of about 20%. Dizziness is correlated with Murcha in Ayurveda, which is a general feeling of being unstable and fainting whereas vertigo is correlated with Bhrama which is illusion of self and environmental motion. Modern medicines nowadays have harmful impact on health due to their side effects that affect the quality of life. So this is the need of the time that a direct, safe and holistic approach should be established to treat the diseases. The fundamental principles hold a strong ground in Ayurveda. Our Ayurveda classics have mentioned a lot about signs and symptoms of various diseases with their specific herbs. Ayurveda drugs popularity and demand are increasing day by day. Ayurveda drugs are helpful in treating the dizziness (Murcha) and vertigo (Bhrama) through the principles of nature to bring back the individual into equilibrium.

The study focuses on the global health concern of allergic rhinitis, a condition that affects approximately 400 million people worldwide. The prevalence of allergic rhinitis characterized by recurrent attacks of sneezing, nasal congestion and rhinorrhoea has increased over the years due to urbanization and environmental pollution. Although modern medicine has developed treatments for allergic rhinitis, it is still incurable. In Ayurveda, there is a concept of Sannipatik disorders, which involves the vitiation of all the three Doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) in the pathophysiology of the disease. Sannipatik diseases are known to be particularly challenging to treat. The symptoms of allergic rhinitis closely resemble the diseased condition called Sannipatik Pratishayaya in Ayurveda. While modern medicine offers anti-allergic, antihistaminic, corticosteroids, and other treatment options, these are not entirely effective in curing the disease or preventing its recurrence. Additionally, these treatments often come with their own side effects. In contrast, Ayurvedic classical texts provide detailed explanation of the pathophysiology, sign and symptoms and principles of treatment for effective management for Sannipatik Pratishayaya. Thus, the Ayurvedic concept of Sannipatik Pratishyaya and its understanding can be helpful in managing allergic rhinitis. Aim- The aim of the article is to correlate symptomatology of Sannipatik Pratishyaya with allergic rhinitis and discuss the role of various treatment modalities according to Ayurveda. Methods- Literary review of various Ayurvedic texts, electronic databases; online Journals in the field available at various search portals. Result-The final outcome of the study is to find out a permanent treatment measure for this problem that can be further tested by practical application.

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammatory arthritis and extra-articular involvement. Considering the pathophysiology, clinical features, and extra-articular manifestations it can be correlated to Vataraktha in Ayurveda. In this case, a 24-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of 15 and was under Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug therapy for several years, complaints of pain and swelling over symmetrical joints of upper and lower limbs along with morning stiffness, and evident boutonniere deformity. She also had pain in her left hip for 4 years. Ayurvedic treatment was initiated with a primary focus on Amapachana, Shodhana, and Rasayana therapies. Patient assessment was conducted using a Visual analog scale, DAS28 score, HAQ-DI score, and Ama assessment tool on the 0th and 69th day. DAS 28 score improved from 7.73 to 3.19, and HAQ-DI score improved from 1.63 to 0.88. The visual analog scale was improved from 8 to 4. Following 69 days of treatment incorporated with Ayurvedic treatment procedures coupled with Rasayana therapy, demonstrated a notable amelioration of symptoms, an enhancement in the overall quality of life, and an improvement in laboratory parameters.

Prolapse is a downward descent of the female pelvic organs as a result of weakness of the structures that normally retain them in position. The main symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse include micturition disturbances like stress incontinence, imperfect control of micturition, a feeling of lump coming down, postural low back ache, constipation and leucorrhoea. The management of pelvic organ prolapse includes preventive conservative and surgical measures. Surgery is indicated when conservative management fails. The three different conditions like Phalini, Prasramsini and Mahayoni vyapath mentioned by different Acharyas explain the prolapsed condition according to the stage and part prolapsed out. Palasha udumbaradi yoga mentioned in Bhaishajya Ratnavali containing ingredients such as Palasha beeja, Udumbara phala, Thilathaila and Madhu was taken for this study. The Lepa was applied in the modified form of an ointment. The study is an attempt to assess the effect of Palasha udumbaradi ointment on uterine prolapse. The ointment was applied intra vaginally. The presence of dense blood vasculature makes the vagina a potential site for local and systemic drug administration. The key advantages of vaginal drug delivery over oral administration is that this is able to circumvent the harsh gastric environment and also bypass hepatic first-pass metabolism. A 38 year woman with complaints of increased frequency of micturition, stress incontinence, burning micturition, low back ache and dyspareunia consulted the OPD of Govt. Ayurveda Medical College, Tripunithura. Palasha udumbaradi ointment was self-applied intra-vaginally. Administration of ointment was advised for 60 consecutive days excluding the days of menstruation with follow up on 90th day. Assessment was done on 0th, 30th and 60th day and follow up was done on 90th day using POP-Q Scale, urinary incontinence scale, and visual analogue scale.

This article delves into the traditional Ayurvedic approach of Sthanika Upakrama in managing Karnagata Rogas, or ear disorders, through localized treatments aimed at restoring Doshic balance and alleviating related symptoms. The study explores the methodology and results of employing Sthanika Upakrama as a holistic ear health approach, highlighting its potential benefits in modern healthcare practices. Ayurvedic scholars have outlined specialized methods, such as Karna pramarjana, Karna abhyanaga, Karna poorana, and Karna dhoopana etc, which hold promise for addressing auditory impairments. Amidst a substantial burden of auditory impairment in India, these ancient interventions offer potential solutions to contemporary challenges in auditory health. The integrated approach of Sthanika Upakrama presents a comprehensive strategy to prevent and manage ear-related ailments.

“Ethno” (derived from “ethnic”) is a custom of a particular race or religion and ethnomedicine is a custom of medicine. The discovery of new crude drugs from indigenous reported medicinal plants can be done from ethnomedicinal studies. There is a persistent increasing demand of medicines in the market which makes them costlier. Because of which the use of other substitutes and adulterants is increasing; questioning the efficacy of the actual medicine. Theepana could help to overcome the cost and adulteration of other Vranaropan medicines like Arjun. It is from Sapindaceous family; (soapberry family). Genus is Allophylus. Sanskrit name- Triputa (only according to some viewers. No textual reference available for Triputa as Sanskrit name). Marathi name- Theepana, Thivana, Tipin. Theepana (Allophylus cobbe (L.) Raeuch” leaves Choorna was used as an ethnomedicine in Dushta vrana. The leaves Choorna shows Shothagna (anti-inflammatory), Krimigna (antimicrobial), Vranashodhana and Vrana ropan effects. Dushta vrana (chronic ulcer), manifested in any part of the body, may be caused either by the Doshas or trauma. When caused due to the Doshas, it is called Nija vrana and when caused because of trauma; it is called Aagantuja vrana. According to Madhav Nidan-Vrana having Durgandhit - more Gandha, Vedana, Puyayukta Strava, Chirsthithi and Strava, Varna is known as Dushta Vrana.

Ginger is a household spice used globally for different purposes. As per Ayurveda, it is considered to possess therapeutic properties for various ailments. Although ginger has Pramehagna (anti-diabetic) property, there are very few formulations for diabetes that contain this as an ingredient. However, some pharmaceutical and clinical studies have shown significant anti-diabetic property of ginger. According to Ayurveda, Ardraka (fresh rhizome) and Shunti (dry rhizome) have different properties and are widely used in many formulations. To analyze the difference between both forms of ginger in varied forms, phytochemical screening, and HPTLC study was done on Ardraka swarasa (juice of fresh rhizome), Shunti churna (powder), Ardraka and Shunti Kashaya (decoction of fresh and dry ginger), Ardraka and Shunti Hima (cold infusion of fresh and dry ginger), Ardraka and Shunti phanta (cold decoction of fresh and dry ginger). Alkaloids were present abundantly in Ardraka swarasa, Ardraka kashaya, Shunti kashaya, Shunti hima and Shunti phanta. Flavonoids were present in excess only in Ardraka swarasa. HPTLC analysis showed more peaks in Kashaya of both forms of rhizomes and Ardraka phanta.
