Prameha is a disease with different pathological conditions as per Ayurveda, comparable to Type 2 Diabetes mellitus. The main line of therapeutic intervention for Prameha, a disease due to over-nourishment, is Apatarpana (depleting regimens of Ayurveda to reduce the bulk of body tissues, particularly Meda and Mamsa dhatu in the present context). As a general principle of Ayurveda diagnosis, a disease is dynamic and changes its status and presentation with time, diet, and interventions. Complementing this, each therapeutic intervention is defined with deficit, optimum, and excess use features. Administering the intervention less than or beyond the requirement may harm the individual, resulting in hampered structure and/or function of other body components. In the present review, we have attempted to put forth this principle of need-based Apatarpana and Santarpana (bulk/strength promoting therapies of Ayurveda) interventions, in managing Prameha with special reference to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Menopause is the term for the natural and permanent cessation of monthly female reproductive cycles. Menopausal women are known to experience physical, psychological, and vasomotor symptoms. In Ayurveda, menopause is not mentioned separately or as a disease but it is considered as Rajakshaya, the transition period of body from predominance of Pittadosha to Vatadosha. Rajonivritti (menopause) occurring in Jarapakva Shareer (aged body) at the age of 50 years. In modern science, hormone therapy has been used to control the symptoms of menopause. But long term use of this therapy had an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, stroke, breast cancer etc. A lifestyle modification is therefore an essential component in reducing menopausal symptoms, which includes a healthy diet, physical exercise, stress reduction and weight management. In this study 25 subjects with menopausal symptoms between the age group of 45 to 55 years were selected, from OPD of Govt. Ayurveda College Hospital, Tripunithura, as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study subjects were advised to have two Yava saktu modakas of 10gm. each in morning at 7.30 a.m and the practice of Suryanamaskara and selected Pranayamas in the morning for 1 month. Assessment was done on 0th, 15th and 31st day of intervention. Along with this, the blood investigations like fasting blood sugar, post prandial blood sugar and serum cholesterol were assessed on 0th and 31st day of the study period. Results showed that Suryanamaskara, selected Pranayama and Yava saktu modaka have statistical significance in reducing menopausal symptoms.

Physical fitness has direct influence on athlete’s performance level. Sports medicine deals with the physical fitness and the treatment of injury related to sports and exercise by curative, rehabilitative and preventive modalities. Ayurveda the complete science of life can contribute in this field also. Abhyanga and Prathimarsa nasya are important Dinacharya procedures which play a key role in the maintenance of health and fitness of athletes. Regular Abhyanga controls Vata dosas and improves physical strength. Prathimarsa nasya improves the musculature of neck shoulder and chest. Ayurveda classics advice Abhyanga with Thila thailam and Prathimarsa Nasya with Anuthailam as a daily regimen for healthy individual. This study is being made to highlight the application of these Ayurveda Dinacharya procedures in promoting the physical fitness of sports persons. This study is a single group pre-post study. 47 subjects of age group 12–18 participating in athletic events were selected from the Sports Hostel of Mar Basil Higher Secondary School Kothamangalam as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After necessary investigations participants had been advised to follow the daily regimen Abhyanga with Thila Thaila after work out, half an hour before bath and Prathimarsa Nasyam with Anuthailam in morning, between 6am- 6.30am for 60 days continuously. Assessments were done on 31st day, 61st day and 91st day (follow up). Scores recorded for test items were converted into marks as per formula based on AAHPER fitness test chart and subjected to statistical analysis using repeated measure ANOVA test. Results showed that Pratimarsha nasya and Abhyanga have statistical significance in improving the physical fitness variables and overall performance level of athletes.

This study delves into the positive impact of a 15-day Snehapana treatment on a patient, revealing significant relief from pain, reduced joint stiffness, and overall improvement. The subsequent follow-up assessment demonstrates the complete elimination of pain, swelling, sensitivity, and hardness. The success underscores the pivotal role of addressing Agni impairment, Ama formation, and Vata dosha vitiation in effectively managing Amavata. The sequential approach, encompassing the transformation of Ama into Niramaavasta, coupled with Virechan and Snehana treatments, proved to be successful. Notably, Snehana emerged as a crucial element, playing a key role in eliminating Ama-related issues, calming Vata, and clearing impurities. These findings provide valuable insights into a comprehensive and successful strategy for Amavata management, emphasizing the importance of a tailored treatment plan targeting the root causes of the condition.

Allergic rhinitis is a common health problem affecting immune system. It is an allergic response to specific allergens causing the inflammation of nasal mucosa. Allergic rhinitis is a major risk factor for poor asthma control and affects quality of life. Cardinal symptoms include nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, and pruritis of the nose and eyes. Patients who suffer from allergic rhinitis sustain significant morbidity and loss of productivity. The symptoms of allergic rhinitis can be co-related with Lakshanas of Pratishyaya mentioned in Ayurveda. This study aimed at yoga therapy and diet as an efficient treatment protocol for the disease. Jalaneti procedure which was mentioned in yoga, helped in preventing and managing upper respiratory tract infections. Since ancient time Yoosha had been suggested as Pathya for both healthy and diseased people. Soopya yoosha containing Mudga and Moolaka is a dietary preparation having Pratishyayahara property. In present study Jalaneti and Soopya yoosha were used in patients of allergic rhinitis.

Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the glands that make moisture in the eyes, mouth, and other parts of the body. The triad of Sjogren’s syndrome consists of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye), xerostomia (dry mouth) and rheumatoid arthritis. From Ayurvedic perspective, the pathophysiology of Sjogren’s shows Vata dosha dushti leading to Sandhigata vikara, Roukshya and Shushkaakshipaka. Shushkaakshipaka is a Vata-pittaja, Sarvagata netra vikara that matches the clinical picture of dry eyes disease. To control this Prakupit vata dosha; Sanshodhan and Shaman both are required. As a result, Vata shodhana was achieved by Basti upakram and Basti pashchat Snehana Putapaka, Nasya and Snehapana brought about Vata shamana. Patient’s dryness of eyes was assessed using Schirmers test and Tear film Break up test. After treatment Schirmer’s reading showed significant improvement from 2mm to 10mm and from 4mm to 8mm in right and left eye respectively. Other symptoms of patient like dryness of mouth and joint pain also reduced to a certain amount. This case report shows a classical Ayurvedic treatment protocol used to treat Sjogren’s Syndrome.

Brucellosis is a bacterial infection caused by Brucella melintensis. It is one of the most widespread endemic zoonotic diseases present globally, more prevalent in developing countries. It is transmitted to humans either through direct contact with infected animal tissues or fluids or indirectly by ingesting contaminated meat and unpasteurized dairy products. The route of transmission includes mainly mucocutaneous. Farmers, butchers, hunters, and veterinarians are mainly at higher risk of contracting this condition. Mostly the affected individuals exhibit flu-like symptoms, remittent fever, malaise, arthralgia, and weight loss which lasts from a few days to several years. The condition is often misdiagnosed due to nonspecific clinical symptoms, leading to inadequate treatment and prolonged illness leading to severe complications like endocarditis. Currently, there is no vaccine for human brucellosis. The modern management includes administration of antibiotics. The gold standard diagnostic tool is direct bacteriological testing. Ayurvedic understanding of endemic diseases highlights the unique concept of Janapathhodhwamsa proposed by Acharyas. They considered Vayu, Jala, Kala, and Desa as common factors in manifestation of disease. Any alteration in these factors can be understood as imbalance and disease outbreak emerged due to urbanization, lack of hygienic measures in animal husbandry, etc. remaining a public health hazard. Brucellosis is known by its undulant nature which closely resembles the Vishama Jwara in classics which is a Sannipatika type of Jwara. Amapachana, Shodhana, and Samana line of management followed by Rasayana, Satvritta Palana as a preventive line can be adopted to manage Brucellosis.
布鲁氏菌病是一种由布鲁氏菌引起的细菌感染。它是全球最普遍的地方性人畜共患病之一，在发展中国家更为流行。它通过直接接触受感染的动物组织或体液，或通过摄入受污染的肉类和未经巴氏消毒的乳制品间接传染给人类。传播途径主要包括皮肤黏膜传播。农民、屠夫、猎人和兽医是感染这种疾病的高危人群。患者大多会表现出类似流感的症状、复发性发热、乏力、关节痛和体重减轻，病程从数天到数年不等。由于临床症状不具特异性，这种疾病经常被误诊，导致治疗不当和病程延长，引发心内膜炎等严重并发症。目前，人类布鲁氏菌病还没有疫苗。现代治疗包括使用抗生素。金标准诊断工具是直接细菌学检测。阿育吠陀对地方病的理解突出了阿查里亚提出的 Janapathhodhwamsa 这一独特概念。他们认为 Vayu、Jala、Kala 和 Desa 是疾病表现的共同因素。这些因素的任何变化都可以被理解为失衡，而疾病的爆发则是由于城市化、畜牧业缺乏卫生措施等原因造成的，仍然是一种公共卫生危害。布鲁氏菌病因其不扩散性而闻名，它与经典中的维沙玛裘瓦拉（Vishama Jwara）非常相似，后者是裘瓦拉（Sannipatika）的一种。布鲁氏菌病可采用 Amapachana、Shodhana 和 Samana 管理方法，再加上 Rasayana、Satvritta Palana 作为预防方法。

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease manifesting in cognitive decline, impairment of memory, and behavioural deterioration. Alzheimer’s is a relatively common type of dementia. The pathological basis for the progression of Alzheimer's disease is beta-amyloid protein accumulation, phosphorylation of tau protein, abnormal glial cell function, inflammation, neurotransmitter imbalance, along with oxidative stress in brain tissue. Current available therapies are targeted at amelioration of symptoms alone and focus on a limited spectrum of pathophysiological processes. It is evident that it is essential to develop a multi-target therapeutic option in managing Alzheimer's disease, in view of the broad range of factors in disease progression and sever consequences for sufferers. Herbal medicines are seen as a potential resource in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, in view of their historical use in traditional medicine as neuroprotectants. Herbal medicines have been evaluated in animal studies designed to determine their capacity to prevent neurodegenerative disease and ameliorate memory defects. This review elaborates on the studies conducted on several medicinal plants that have been investigated for their potential in the prevention and treatment of memory defects in animal models.

Current available therapies are targeted at amelioration of symptoms alone and focus on a limited spectrum of pathophysiological processes. It is evident that it is essential to develop a multi-target therapeutic option in managing Alzheimer's disease, in view of the broad range of factors in disease progression and sever consequences for sufferers. Herbal medicines are seen as a potential resource in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, in view of their historical use in traditional medicine as neuroprotectants. Herbal medicines have been evaluated in animal studies designed to determine their capacity to prevent neurodegenerative disease and ameliorate memory defects. This review elaborates on the studies conducted on several medicinal plants that have been investigated for their potential in the prevention and treatment of memory defects in animal models.","PeriodicalId":13913,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharma Research","volume":"2018 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139806943","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}
