Agni is one of the main concepts that are dealt in Ayurveda. Agni is responsible for the digestion and metabolism of the ingested food. The types of Agni included are Visama agni, Tikshna agni, Manda agni and Sama agni. Aggression is often a harmful social interaction with the intention of inflicting damage or harm to others or on self. The independent variable and dependent variable is Agni bala and aggressive behaviour respectively. This study is attempted to study the difference on aggressive behaviour based on the Agni type among young adults. The hypothesis proposed was a null hypothesis which implied that there is no significance of Agni bala on aggressive behaviour among young adults. Data was collected using Agni bala assessment tool and Buss-Perry aggressive questionnaire. It is a quantitative study which has employed comparative research design. Comparative research design is used since there is a comparison among the Agni bala types (Visama agni, Tikshna agni, Manda agni and Sama agni). Random sampling was done and the total sample size is 180 young adults between the age group 18-30 years. ANOVA was the statistical test used for the study. The ANOVA test showed that there is no difference on the aggressive behaviour based on the Agni type since the significance level is 0.007. The results were calculated using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The hypothesis was accepted which indicate that the there is no significant difference on aggressive behaviour based on the type of Agni bala among young adults. The study concluded that there is no difference on aggressive behaviour based on the type of Agni bala among young adults.
阿格尼是阿育吠陀的主要概念之一。阿格尼负责摄入食物的消化和新陈代谢。阿格尼的类型包括 Visama 阿格尼、Tikshna 阿格尼、Manda 阿格尼和 Sama 阿格尼。攻击通常是一种有害的社会互动，其目的是对他人或自己造成损害或伤害。自变量和因变量分别是阿格尼巴拉和攻击行为。本研究试图根据青壮年的阿格尼类型研究攻击行为的差异。提出的假设是一个零假设，即阿格尼巴拉对青壮年的攻击行为没有影响。数据收集使用了阿格尼巴拉评估工具和布斯-佩里攻击性问卷。这是一项采用比较研究设计的定量研究。之所以采用比较研究设计，是因为要对阿格尼巴拉类型（Visama 阿格尼、Tikshna 阿格尼、Manda 阿格尼和 Sama 阿格尼）进行比较。研究采用随机抽样的方式，样本总数为 180 名 18-30 岁的年轻人。研究采用方差分析进行统计检验。方差分析检验结果表明，由于显著性水平为 0.007，因此攻击行为在阿格尼类型上没有差异。研究结果使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）进行计算。研究接受了假设，即青壮年的攻击行为与阿格尼巴拉类型没有显著差异。研究得出结论：青壮年的攻击性行为与阿格尼巴拉类型没有差异。

Ahara, Nidra and Brahmacharya plays significant role in preventing major diseases affecting both physical and mental well-being. Nidra stands out as one of the prominent factors to be examined in the contemporary era, constituting a vital component of a healthy lifestyle. Ayurveda defines Nidra (sleep) as the physiological state of rest for the Sharira (body), Mana (mind) and Indriya (sense organs). Lack of Nidra, results in conditions like primary insomnia or Anidra and is associated with the onset of various clinical diseases. Over time, it progress into chronic disorders such as secondary or tertiary insomnia. Aim: To introduce and underscore the concept of Nidra and its physiological impact on the human body. Materials and Method: The literature review was compiled from available Ayurvedic literatures and various relevant articles related to Nidra and sleep. Conclusion: Ayurveda has given more importance to Nidra (sleep) by considering it as one among three pillars of life. The Samhitas provide an in-depth exploration of Nidra, presenting its classification and physiology. Nidra (sleep) is not just a phenomenon to ignore but it has great impact in our body and the study of sleep phenomenon is important for the early diagnosis of sleep disorders.

The clustering of obesity, dyslipidaemia, impaired glucose tolerance, and hypertension, known as 'Metabolic Syndrome (MS),' has emerged as a significant global public health and clinical concern, attributed to urbanization, sedentary lifestyles, and dietary shifts. Metabolic Syndrome aligns well with the Ayurvedic concept of Medodhatuvriddhi, Medovahasrothodushti, Santharpanajanya vikaras (Sthoulya, Medoroga, Prameha, Hrdroga) and Ama pradoshaja vikaras. It is primarily caused by the vitiation of Kapha, Meda, Ama and hence drugs having Kaphavatahara, Medohara Chikitsa should be mainly adopted. Additionally, there is a common misconception among the public that ghee consumption leads to hyperlipidaemia. Taking these factors into account, a protocol has been formulated to assess the effectiveness of Huthabhugadi churna and Trayushnadi ghrtam in the management of MS. Most of the drugs in the formulations are having Kapha vatahara and Medohara properties which might help in eliminating excess Medodhathu and promote optimal Rasadi dhathus. Huthabhugadi Churna might play a pivotal role in addressing Jatharagnimandya whereas Trayushnadi Ghrtam might correct the imbalance in Dhatvagnimandya reducing the Atipravritti of Medodhathu. Consequently, this protocol might effectively help in reducing Kapha, meda and ama ultimately alleviating the symptoms associated with MS.

In the system of Ayurveda, there are two basic categories of medicinal formulations-Kashtaushadhi (pure herbal) and Rasaushadhi (herbo-mineral). The standardization of Rasaushadhies through modern parameter gives an easy acceptance and can remove the negative propaganda about medicine containing Parada (mercury). Rasasindoora is widely prepared and clinically practiced by Ayurvedic fraternity. Aims and Objectives: The current study is planned to established the best pharmaceutical method of Rasasindoora in perspective of time and cost. Materials and Method: 250gm Kajjali was taken in every bach for the preparation of Rasasindoora by using EMF (electric muffle furnace) with the thought it gives desired and standard yield. In this study 3 batches of Rasasindoora were prepared in 16 hours, 11 hours and 8 hours. Result: Rasasindoora yield from Batch I, Batch II and Batch III are 50.84%, 51.76% and 50.48%. Conclusion: The average yield is 51.02% and yield from batch III (8hrs) is 50.48%, there is no major difference in % yield in all three batches. Thus, the best adopted method for the preparation of Rasasindoora is batch III (8hrs) due to lesser consumption of electricity, coal and time.

Strachan Scott Syndrome also known as Tropical Ataxic Polyneuropathy (TAN) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by the lesions involving skin and mucous membrane, optic neuropathy and peripheral neuropathy, likely to be caused due to chronic cyanide intoxication following dependency to single plant component, cassava. It is considered as a disease of poor tropical populations but lacks a clear statistics on how many people are affected worldwide, but in affected population prevalence have been noted in more than a quarter. A very little is known about its incidence in India. The clinical spectrum of the syndrome ranges from oculo-oro-genital skin manifestations to severe neurological deficits. This has no direct correlation in classics, though Kalayakhanja which is one of the neurological disorders mentioned under Vatavyadhi, but clinically different in presentation to Strachan Scott Syndrome. This is a disease caused as a result of chronic intoxication of cyanide so etiologically it could be considered under the concepts of Dooshivisha. The signs and symptoms can be considered as the sequential involvement of the Dhatus and Upadhatus, manifesting as a Vatavyadhi as it progresses to involve the nervous system. Being a disease with a very few diagnosed cases and available literatures, this is an attempt in understanding the mechanism of the syndrome from Ayurvedic point of view and the probable management strategies which could be adopted to turn into a manageable one.
斯特拉坎-斯科特综合征（Strachan Scott Syndrome）又称热带共济失调性多神经病（TAN），是一种罕见的神经系统疾病，其特征是皮肤和粘膜病变、视神经病变和周围神经病变，可能是由于依赖单一植物成分木薯而慢性氰化物中毒所致。这种疾病被认为是贫困热带人群的一种疾病，但缺乏关于全球有多少人受到影响的明确统计数据，但在受影响的人群中，发病率已超过四分之一。印度对该病的发病率知之甚少。该综合征的临床表现范围从眼部或生殖器皮肤表现到严重的神经功能障碍。这在经典中没有直接的相关性，虽然卡拉亚克汉贾是瓦塔维亚迪（Vatavyadhi）中提到的神经系统疾病之一，但在临床表现上与斯特拉坎-斯科特综合征不同。这是一种因慢性氰化物中毒而导致的疾病，因此从病因学上讲，它可以归入 Dooshivisha 的概念中。其症状和体征可被视为 Dhatus 和 Upadhatus 的相继受累，随着病情的发展会累及神经系统，表现为 Vatavyadhi。作为一种只有极少数确诊病例和可用文献的疾病，本文试图从阿育吠陀学的角度来理解该综合征的发病机制，以及可能采取的管理策略，从而将其转化为一种可控的疾病。

Phyllanthus amarus Schumach. & Thonn. is an annual plant distributed throughout India. In Ayurvedic classics, it is identified under the names Bhumyamalaki or Tamalaki and stands out as a significant therapeutic agent in Ayurvedic medicines. Pharmacognostic studies are important for identification and for determining the quality and purity of crude drugs. The aim of the study was to evaluate the preliminary pharmacognostic characters of Phyllanthus amarus Schumach. & Thonn. The pharmacognostic evaluation included a thorough examination of the macroscopic, microscopic, and physicochemical characteristics. The assessed parameters comprised foreign matter, moisture content, total ash, acid-insoluble ash, water-soluble extractive, alcohol-soluble extractive, fibre content and sugar contents, qualitative chemical analysis and High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography. Macroscopic study showed a taproot system with a straight, cylindrical, light brown root and abundant secondary and tertiary rootlets. The stem was slender, glabrous, exhibiting a smooth and green surface. The leaves were simple, elliptic-oblong in shape with entire margin, arranged alternately. The microscopic examination of the root revealed starch grains and crystals present notably in both the cortex and phloem regions. The stem exhibited Calcium oxalate crystals in the pith region. Numerous anisocytic stomata were observed in the lower epidermis of leaf with stomatal index 25.18%. The water-soluble extractive was found to be more than alcohol soluble extractive. Total sugar was found to be 5.6%. HPTLC at 575nm showed 9 peaks with Rf value ranging from 0.04 to 0.9. With these research findings, it becomes possible to establish pharmacognostic standards for the plant. This, in turn, simplifies the process of identifying and ensuring the purity and quality of Phyllanthus amarus Schumach. & Thonn.

As per ancient Ayurvedic scholars for getting a desirable outcome of any medication, it should be precisely analysed before prescribing to the patient. There are numbers of classical formulations successfully practiced by Ayurvedic physicians for treating various ailments but in maximum cases there is lack of data regarding their details mechanism of action. Such one multidrug classical formulation is Gandhaka rasayana which is widely practiced Ayurvedic formulation. Gandhaka rasayana have been used in Ayurvedic Rasashastra to treat various types of diseases related to Tvak, Mandhagni, various Srotas. It is a time tested formulation used by Ayurvedic practitioners for correcting Kushta, Indralupta, Vatarakta, Palitya, Dushta vrana, Arumsika etc. Modern scientific world needs explanation and logic behind the mode of action of Gandhaka rasayana with respective to each particular disease.

Vasti is one among the most widely used therapeutic procedures in Ayurveda especially in neurological and degenerative diseases. Proper guidelines for Panchakarma procedures are laid out in the classics for better outcome and minimal complications. Till date, the guidelines hold value and current practices revolve around the same. Though there are plenty of insights into the benefits of Vasti, minimal information is available about the complications and management. This case report is an attempt to understand how the administration of a Kashaya vasti in a known case of lumbar spondylosis resulted in complication and managed with oral administration of Kamadudharasa. A 64 year old male patient with primary complaint of low back ache developed pain and burning sensation per abdomen after giving Erandamooladi niruhavasti. He went to a state of confusion. Initial management was done using Dhanvantaram gutika, which failed to revive the patient. A single dose of Kamadudha rasa was administered sublingually following which he regained consciousness. This was followed by a reduction in the burning sensation and the patient felt better. On detailed analysis, it was found that the patient had a history of gastritis and was on medication for the same. The Teekshna guna of Erandamuladi vasti probably worsened the state of Pitta in his Koshta and lead to the complications such as Sula, Daha and Moha. A detailed understanding of the selection of the right type of Niruha vasti is necessary for better outcomes. This brings our attention to the importance of Sameekshya bhava and how it plays an important role in deciding the outcome of Panchakarma procedures. Failure to do so may result in Vyapath/complications.

A persistent inflammatory skin condition, psoriasis affects 2% to 4% of the population. About 10% of psoriasis patients develop inflammatory arthritis, which can significantly impair daily activities and life quality. It is also regarded as a psychosomatic illness for which there is no long-term treatment. According to Ayurveda, the patient was diagnosed as having Kapha-pitta dominance, or Ekkustha. The purpose of this case study is to assess the effectiveness of Shaman Chikitsa and Virechan in treating recurring psoriasis. PASI was used to measure symptoms both before and after therapy. There was improvement in the PASI score. The Ayurvedic psoriasis was effectively managed with Shodhan treatment, according to recognized measures.
