Ayurveda is a comprehensive, unique science that encompasses all aspects of health. Ayurveda affirms health can be attained only if all the physiological parameters are in equilibrium with a healthy mind, intellect and senses. Mental health is an integral part of Ayurveda. Emotional intelligence curtains a big part of human intelligence that exteriorise the ability to sense, value and understand efficaciously, to effectively apply the power of emotions as a source of human energy. Emotional intelligence is tied to cognition and emotional balance in life. An imbalance in the emotional state can create difficulties in people's social and individual lives and is the primary etio-pathological reason for many mental and physical disorders. Ayurveda has a beautiful insight into dealing with the causes and solutions to find how we can curtail these disorders and make our lives happy. The theory of prakriti is the core concept of Ayurveda that describes the individual constitution on a mental and physical basis. It is an indicator of the physical and psychological status of a person. Ayurveda provides an exquisite and insightful perspective on the mind and the art of fostering its health through manas prakriti (mental constitution) analysis. Ayurveda annotates the balance of health and well-being by numerous means using herbs and lifestyle management tips (Achara rasayana, dincharya, ritucharya and sadvritta). The paper highlights the concept of manas prakriti about emotional intelligence and the role of Ayurveda in curing emotional intelligence-related issues.

Ayurveda is an ancient science which still has relevance in the present era. Ayurveda has taken references from Darshana at various places. Darshana is the philosophical view of the person. Darshana has given an opinion regarding the formation of srushti (universe). ‘Vaisheshika Darshana’, one of the Nastika Darshana, has explained the srushti utpatti through Pilupakavada. Pilupkavada is the theory that explains the universe's formation through ‘pilu’, that is, ‘parmanu’, which could be considered an atom according to modern science. The Darshana, which is more than 2500 years old, explains the element similar to the atom without any advanced technology. This article attempts to prove how Vaisheshika Darshana was ahead of time and still relevant in the present era through the concept of Pilupakavada by comparing it with the chemical reaction of water formation. The Pilupakavada have explained the changes happening in a material at the chemical level in three stages. The chemical reaction explained by modern sciences could correlate with the three stages of the Vaisheshika Darshana. Thus, we can say the Darshana was ahead of time. What modern sciences have explained with lots of technology Darshana have given base for that without having any access to the technology.

Siddha medicine is a classical system of medicine. When the three humours (vatham, pitham, kabam) are in an appropriate balance, the person experiences good health. Any imbalances of the three humours lead to disease. Eraippu noi is otherwise called Ezhuppu noi or Swasakaasam. Eraippu noi is characterized by the tightness of the chest, difficulty breathing in which expiratory breathing sounds resemble musical instruments like flute, loot, or veena, and cold with or without expectoration during cough. The symptoms of Eraippu noi can be correlated with bronchial asthma. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by airway obstruction and airway hyperresponsiveness manifesting as wheezing, cough, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. The exact aetiology of asthma remains unclear and appears to be multifactorial. The risk factors include animals, mites, mould, other allergens, and air pollutants. Siddha literature described many formulations that are indicated for Suvasakaasam. Swasakudori Mathirai is one of them. Swasakudori mathirai is purely an herbal formulation indicated for Suvasakasam/Eraippu noi. The ingredients of Swasakudori mathirai are vellerukkam poo and milagu. The ingredients of this drug mostly have anti-asthmatic activity, anti-inflammatory activity, and antimicrobial activity. It is easily prepared and safe for all age groups, especially paediatric ones, to manage bronchial asthma. This review further concentrates on enhancing the research on Siddha herbal medicines.

Murungai Nei (Moringa ghee) is a multi-herbal formulation indicated as an aphrodisiac and spermatogenic in Siddha literature. The study aims to standardise the Murungai Nei’s quality, purity, and safety through its physicochemical, microbiological, chromatographic, and biochemical parameters. Physicochemical parameters like loss on drying, total ash, acid-insoluble ash, water-soluble ash, water-soluble extractive, alcohol-soluble extractive, and pH were found to be 0.03%, 0.0499%, 0.0199%, 0.07%, 0.1934%, and 18.49% respectively, which denote the purity and quality of the drug in this study. Qualitative preliminary phytochemical analysis reveals the presence of major phytochemicals: alkaloids, carbohydrates, saponin, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, diterpenes, quinones, gum, and mucilage. High-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) fingerprinting analysis of the test drug reveals the presence of seven eminent modes relevant to the presence of seven different phytocomponents within it, whose Rf values range from 0.03 to 0.24. Biochemical analysis reports the presence of carbonate, sulphides, phosphate, ferrous, and magnesium. The results obtained from all the analyses of this study provide data on the pharmacogenetic (physical, chemical, and biochemical) properties of the Siddha poly-herbal formulation Murungai Nei. In the future, these data can be utilised as references for standardising the drug Murungai Nei.

Introduction: The pace of life in today's society has grown fast, erratic, and stressful, causing visual acuity to be hampered, which can be linked to Timira described in Ayurvedic classics. Timira, characterised as an eye ailment in Ayurveda, can be correlated with refractive errors. Myopia is a type of refractive error in which distant vision is hampered and affects a considerable portion of the population today. Patients with vitiated doshas have fuzzy vision when they reach the prathama patala of the eye; this stage is marked by avyaktasdarshana (Sushruta) and animitta avyakata rupa darshana (Vagbhata). All Acharyas describe prathama patalagata Timira as a sadhya drishtigata roga. Nasya is a therapeutic modality for urdhwajatrugata vikaras, according to Vagbhata. In Sutrasthana, Sushruta describes Viddha karma as a cure for Timira. Shrungaveradi taila Nasya is recommended for the treatment of patalgata vikaras in Bhaishajya ratanavali. Case presentation: In this study, prathama patalagata Timira patients were chosen, and Nasya with Shrungaveradi taila and Viddha karma on alternate days was performed for eight days in these patients. The pilot study showed promising results.
导读:当今社会的生活节奏快，不稳定，压力大，导致视力受到阻碍，这与阿育吠陀经典中描述的蒂米拉有关。蒂米拉在阿育吠陀医学中被认为是一种眼部疾病，可能与屈光不正有关。近视是一种屈光不正，导致远视力受到阻碍，影响了今天相当一部分人的视力。患者在到达腭部时视力模糊;这个阶段的标志是avyaktasdarshana (Sushruta)和animitta avyakata rupa darshana (Vagbhata)。所有阿查里亚人都把《普拉塔摩·帕特拉加多·提米拉》描述为《苦行》。据《Vagbhata》称，那雅是一种治疗梵天的方式。在《Sutrasthana》中，苏须鲁塔(Sushruta)将佛业描述为对蒂米拉(Timira)的治疗。推荐在Bhaishajya ratanavali治疗patalgata vikaras。病例介绍:在本研究中，我们选择了腹腹合腹的患者，并对这些患者进行了为期8天的腹腹合腹和腹腹合腹的交替练习。初步研究显示出可喜的结果。

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common compression neuropathy of the median nerve at the level of the wrist. It is an occupational disease commonly seen in dentists, soldiers, and laboratory workers who make repetitive upper limb movements. The incidence of Carpal tunnel syndrome is 1-3 cases per 1000 subjects per year; the prevalence is approximately 50 cases per 1000 subjects in the general population. There is no direct reference in Ayurveda; the symptoms can be compared to Vishwachi. In contemporary medicine, analgesic tablet liniments are prescribed, temporarily providing temporary symptomatic relief. Surgery is advised as a relief measure. In this single case study, a 60-year-old male patient with complaints of pain, tingling sensation in the wrist, fingers of the right hand and inability to perform daily activities for eight months is considered. He was diagnosed with Carpal tunnel syndrome. He is treated by snehana nasya, one of the Panchakarma indicated in urdhwajatrugata vyadhi, along with sthanika abhyanga and Kukkutanda pinda sweda which proved very beneficial and effective in relieving the symptoms of the patient. Treatment by Ayurveda is the current need as there is no effective treatment for complete management of the condition in conventional medicine.

Bharangi (Clerodendrum serratum Linn. Family - Verbenaceae) root is one of the most common herbs in Ayurvedic formulations used to treat respiratory disorders. It is identified with different names in different places. The issue in the present era is the roots of Bharangi are being adulterated with Clerodendrum infortunatum Linn. Clerodendrum phlomodies Linn, and Quassia bark in the market. Hence, a humble effort has been made to identify and evaluate a genuine market sample of Bharangi root. Bharangi root samples were collected from different markets in South India: Chennai, Vijayawada, Hubli, Pune and Thiruvananthapuram. The qualitative and quantitative evaluation was done using physicochemical analysis, phytochemical tests, TLC and HPTLC to know the genuine samples of Bharangi root in different markets, followed by comparing these samples with the standards of API. Among the five samples, four were genuine since their analytical values were nearer to the standards of API and one sample was found adulterated since it differed from the standard analytical values.

Bhavaprakasha is a 16th-century AD medicinal treatise authored by Acharya Bhavamishra. This is one of the best collections of medical information about the use of medicinal plants and the treatment of various diseases popular in the medieval period. This present work is an attempt to summarise the key features of Bhavapraksha to highlight its utility and contribution to the field of Ayurveda and Botany. A critical review of Bhavapraksha was done, and the collected information was compared with other available literature on Nigantu and treatises of that period.
