Ayurveda, a divine science of life, transferred from immortals to mortals for the welfare of mankind. It precisely emphasize on maintenance of health, for this purpose it describes the use Nitya sevaniya dravyas and Rasayana dravyas accordingly. Among them, milk is considered as best and is compared with nectar. But now a day, many people are diagnosed as lactose intolerant, where as in Ayurvedic texts ‘Satmya’ is mentioned as Guna of Dugdha. In the text Sushen Nighantu we find a term ‘Dudgha asatmya’ which seems similar to lactose intolerance, the symptom Adhmana is referred to it. Also in text like Ajirna Manjari and Kshemakutuhalam we find treatment for Ksheerapanajanya ajirna. But any symptoms are not told. This disease comes under the umbrella of Anukta vyadhi. Acharya Charaka has given guidelines to treat Anukta vyadhi. An effort to understand lactose intolerance in Ayurvedic point of view will be made here. A literary study to find references, probable co-relation and comparison of Ksheera pana janya ajirna and lactose intolerance will be done in this article.

Vajeekarana, also known as Vrishya Chikitsa, is one of the eight key specialties of Ashtanga Ayurveda. Vajikarana is concerned with aphrodisiacs, virility, and increasing the health of offspring. Ashtanga Hridaya is one Among Bruhatrayee (Greater Trio). Acharya Vagbhata writen the two most important classics like Ashtanga Sangraha and Ashtanga Hridaya. Due to its superior organisation and concision over Ashtanga Sangraha, Ashtanga Hridaya is a far more approachable classic. Vajeekarana vidhi (Aphrodisiac therapy) is explained in the last chapter of Uttarasthana of Ashtanga hrudaya. According to WHO, Millions of people battle with infertility. One in six people who are of reproductive age worldwide are predicted to become infertile at some point in their lives. Several parts of the world, particularly low- and middle-income nations, still lack access to most modern therapies and their cost is prohibitive. Many Vajikarana yogas are (Aphrodisiac Formulations) mentioned in Ayurvedic classics which are cheaper,easier to prepare, safer and effective. This review Article focuses on unique contribution on Vajeekarana yogas mentioned by Acharya Vagbhata in Ashtanga Hridaya.

According to Acharya Kashyapa, Aahara is Mahabheshaja. Ayurveda is an untapped source of vast information about nutrition providing foods, drinks and regimen. There are healthier and effective replacements for the health supplements available in the market. Mudga is a common pulse found in almost every Indian household is fortified with Shatavari which is very well known for its balya rasayana action In this study Palalam (Ladoo) having reference in Bhavaprakasha Nighantu Kritaanavarga / 132 is made with modifications using Mudga, Shatavari and Tugaksheeri. Formulation, standardization, nutritional analysis, shelf life analysis, sensory tests of Mudga Shatavari Palalam is done to confirm its efficacy as a health supplement. All the tests were found to be satisfactory. The nutritional values of the product showed that it contains higher amount of nutrition, energy, proteins, dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron and has lower saturated fats, sodium and cholesterol. The Mudga Shatavari Ladoo was found to be fit for consumption, highly palatable and nutritive. Two servings of the product provide a person with 25% of the required daily nutrition. It can be given as a weight supplement to underweight children, lactating mothers, senior citizens, growing children and those having nutritional deficiency disorders and all others in general to improve immunity and to augment the nutrition from their diet. This formulation can also be used in the form of granules, biscuits etc as required. It can also be provided as part of mid-day meals in schools to improve the nutrition in children.

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.

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.

Infections can be caused by a wide range of pathogens and bacteria are one among them. Presently, we confront a significant challenge concerning antimicrobial resistance, leading the world to explore alternative medicine as a potential solution. Bhasmeshwara rasa is a formulation mentioned under Sannipataja jwara chikitsa in Rasendra Chintamani which acts on all three Doshas. It is a Khalviya Rasayana containing Vanyopala bhasma (cow dung cake Bhasma), Maricha and Shuddha vatsanabha and its Anupana is Ardraka Swarasa. Even though there is no Parada used in this formulation, still this formulation is suffixed with “Rasa” in its name Bhasmeshwara. In vitro anti-bacterial study, the action of Bhasmeshwara rasa was tested against Salmonella typhi by well diffusion method. A combination of Bhasmeshwara Rasa and Ardraka Swarasa showed antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhi. Hence, with the present study, it can be concluded that Bhasmeshwara Rasa and Ardraka Swarasa combination shows mild to moderate anti-bacterial activity.

Overweight is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. Once considered a problem only in high-income countries, overweight and obesity are now dramatically on the rise in low and middle-income countries, particularly in urban settings. Overweight and obesity are the fifth greatest risk factors for death worldwide. Due to secondary consequences including obesity, type-2 diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, dyslipidemia, etc., the morbidity and mortality of overweight people are rising. Obesity and overweight are primarily caused by an imbalance in energy between calories consumed and calories burned. To maintain balance between the two, the management approach attempts to reduce energy intake while boosting energy expenditure. In Ayurveda, overweight can be correlated to Sthoulya. In this study an intervention along with addition of one dietary intervention was made into the daily routine of subjects. Here yoga is most suitable adaptation of physical activity and Mudgadi kashaya peya is a dietary preparation having Kapha medohara property which can reduce the over gaining weight and presence health.

Salmonella typhi, the causative organism of typhoid fever, remains a major global public health concern. Despite the availability of conventional antibiotics, the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of Salmonella typhi poses a serious challenge in combating this infectious pathogen. As a result, the exploration of alternative therapeutic options, such as traditional herbal remedies, has gained prominence. Bharangyadi Yoga is a combination of specific herbal ingredients, used in traditional medicine system to address various types of fever and related ailments as mentioned in Sahasrayogam, has to be prepared and administered in the form of Kashaya. In vitro antibacterial activity of Bharangyadi Kashaya and Bharangyadi Arka was carried out by well diffusion method with different concentrations against Salmonella typhi and the area of inhibition of microbial growth is measured. Moderate zone of inhibition was observed in Arka, while no zone of inhibition was seen in any of the concentration of Kashaya. The antibacterial effectiveness of Bharangyadi Arka can be attributed to its volatile and other aqueous extract content, enhanced solubility and release of volatile active constituents. In this study, Arka is established to have better antibacterial activity compare to Kashaya as a new dosage form. However, Negative antibacterial result of Kashaya does not indicate lack of therapeutic effectiveness.
伤寒沙门氏菌是伤寒的致病菌，仍然是全球公共卫生关注的一个主要问题。尽管有常规抗生素可用，但伤寒沙门氏菌抗生素耐药菌株的出现给抗击这种传染性病原体带来了严峻挑战。因此，对传统草药等替代疗法的探索日益突出。Bharangyadi Yoga 是一种特定草药成分的组合，在传统医学体系中用于治疗 Sahasrayogam 中提到的各种类型的发烧和相关疾病，必须以 Kashaya 的形式配制和服用。通过不同浓度的井扩散法，对伤寒沙门氏菌进行了 Bharangyadi Kashaya 和 Bharangyadi Arka 的体外抗菌活性试验，并测量了抑制微生物生长的面积。在 Arka 中观察到适度的抑制区，而在任何浓度的 Kashaya 中均未观察到抑制区。Bharangyadi Arka 的抗菌效果可归因于其挥发性和其他水提取物的含量、溶解度的提高以及挥发性活性成分的释放。在这项研究中，作为一种新剂型，Arka 的抗菌活性优于 Kashaya。不过，Kashaya 的抗菌效果不佳并不表明其缺乏治疗效果。
