Background: Due to the high prevalence of NCDs and treatment costs, many medical providers are looking for alternative medications, especially herbal medicine, and some herbal medicines can be used as an effective therapy for the treatment of NCDs. Many studies have shown the effective use of saffron to impede and treat different types of non-communicable diseases. Aim: This current review focuses on the medicinal uses of saffron and current findings relating to the effects of saffron on different types of non-communicable diseases. Methods: Cochrane library, Pub Med, and Google Scholar databases were searched from 2000 to 2020 before September to accumulate current findings with the limitation of the English language. Result: A total of 33 studies (8 human and 25 animalstudies) were identified through searching. Saffron and its active components improved lipid profile along with lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Kidney function was also improved by reducing nitrogen urea, urinary citrate, uric acid, etc. Saffron can be also used for treating different types of cancer like prostate cancer, skin cancer, breast cancer, etc. Conclusion: Despite the beneficial effects of saffron on non-communicable diseases, more prospective clinical trials among humans and animals are needed for a better understanding of the effects and mechanisms of saffron and its compounds.

Shankhpushpi is a plant and known as best brain tonic medicine which is classified under four Medhya Rasayana by Acharya Charaka. It is also included as main ingredient in many herbal extractives or decoction-based brain tonics or memory boosting formulations. Various Ayurvedacharya have named it as manglayakusuma, ksheerpushpi, medhya etc. Shankhpushi is also comes under convolvulacea family indicated as Convolvulus pluricaulis. The Charaka Samhita, which is an ancient book of Ayurveda described the use of paste (kalka) as Medhya Rasayana. There are so many experimental, pharmacological, clinical studies done on Convolvulus pluricaulis revealed the promising results as neuroprotective, memory enhancer, and antianxiety properties. The studies analysed its chemical composition like convolidine, convolvine, confoline etc. and may help to stimulate the brain activities. In addition, the studies have shown other properties like diuretic, antioxidant, hypolipidemic, hypotensive, antiulcer, antipyretic which helps to manage the various disorders. The various dosage forms like powder, paste, syrup is prepared by using whole plant or different parts of plant as indicated in classical texts. The present review study on Shankhpushpi basically focused on the experimental or clinical studies done in the management of various ailments.

Liver plays an important role in maintaining the biological equilibrium of vertebrates. Liver diseases are a major worldwide health problem with high endemicity in developing countries. They are mainly caused by chemicals and some drugs when taken in very high doses. Despite advances in modern medicine, there is no effective drug available that stimulates liver function, offer protection to the liver from damage or help to regenerate hepatic cells. There is urgent need, therefore, for effective drugs to replace/supplement those in current use. The plant kingdom is undoubtedly valuable as a source of new medicinal agents. The main aim of any medication in the treatment of liver disorders is to prevent degeneration of hepatocytes and associated metabolic abnormalities and promote regeneration of hepatic cells. In present study the hepatoprotective activity of Cynodon dactylon extracts was evaluated in rifampicin induced liver toxicity by biochemical parameters like SGPT, SGOT, ALP, BIT and by histopathological study. Acute administration of rifampicin produced marked elevation of the serum levels of the above parameters compared to that of the control group. Treatment with ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Cynodon dactylon leaves at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg produces significant prevention in rifampicin induced rise of the above parameters. Silymarin at 100 mg/kg body weight significantly prevented such rise in study. The effect of Cynodon dactylon leaves extracts was found possess promising hepatoprotective activity. Further studies in other species and on other parameter would throw more light on this plant.

Unnati A. Chavan, Ayurveda Samhita M.D – Final Year, Narayan R. Sabu
Overeating is the excess food consumed in relation to the energy that an organism expends. Out of various eating disorders overeating from supersize meal portions is termed as Atimatrashan in Ayurveda. In Ayurveda great emphasis has been given on the ideal quantity i.e., ‘matra’ of Aahara which is customized according to individual appetite. While occasional overeating predisposes to various disorders manifested through impaired digestive function, Habitual overeating eventually leads to obesity. Obesity being a state of chronic inflammation predisposes to wide range of diseases including Metabolic syndrome and Cancer. In this context, this paper discusses the Ayurvedic concept of Tridosha Prakop (vitiation of all the three Doshas) with the resulting ailments and Aamvish which is said to be formed as a result of habitual overeating and is thought to be Vishsadrushya (highly toxic) and param asaadhyam (incurable).

Asthma is a disease that mainly affects our respiratory system. It affects millions of people in the world. It is most common chronic and non-communicable disease in adults as well as children. It is more prevalent in industrialized countries. Asthma is caused by the genetic interaction and environmental factors. The major risk factor for developing asthma is the genetic disposition of individual. Asthma symptoms are caused due to the liberation of endogenous and intrinsic mediators like histamine, nitric oxide, chemokines, inflammation of the airways in the lungs. Therefore, there are many treatments associated with this disease. One of which is the nutraceutical therapy which provides medicinal and health benefits. Indian herbs and plants are well known for its medicinal properties from the ancient times. Allium species, Aloevera, crinum, Licorice, Adhatoda species that possess the antimicrobial activities are known to provide efficient therapeutic response in treating asthma.
