Sthoulya is major problem the whole world is facing today. Recently many research works have suggested that, over 1.9 billion population of middle age are overweight and 650 million are suffering with obesity worldwide. In India, over 135 million people had suffered obesity. It is a major reason of medical and financial burdens for the government. Central obesity is one among the important risk for vascular diseases of heart (CVDs) and a major reason of mortality in India. Atisthula who is having excessive deposition of meda and mamsa in sthana, udara and sphik is considered as dosha (that can cause many untoward health consequences) as per Ayurveda. Modern pathophysiology also suggests central obesity which is considered Metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUHO) in contrast with peripheral obesity as metabolically healthy obesity (MHO). Charaka said eight doshas (complications or syndrome) namely Ayukshaya (reduced life expectancy), Javoparodha (reduced physical activities), Krichravyavayata (infertility both male and female, loss of libido and erectile dysfunction), Dourbalya (reduced physical strength and reduced immunity), Dourgandya (Bromhidrosis), Swedabhada (difficulties with sweating), Atikshudha (increased appetite and hunger) and Atitrishna (excessive thirst). Asthadosha when analysed critically covers almost complications and consequences of obesity explained in modern literature. After reviewing both Ayurveda and modern literature about the obesity and its complications there are lots of similarities are observed and makes easy to understand sthoulya better.

Artavakshaya (oligo-hypomenorrhoea) is a condition described in Ayurvedic classics in which vitiated vata and kapha dosha causes obstruction in the artavavahasrotas (channels that carries menstrual blood or artava). The characteric features of Artavakshaya include yathochitakalaadarshana (prolonged intermenstrual period), alpata (scanty bleeding) and yonivedana (pain in vagina or pain during menses). Artavakshaya is a condition very much similar to the oligohypomenorrhoea which is characterized by cycle which are longer than 35 days and with bleeding less than 2 days. The principles of management of Artavakshaya are vatakaphashamaka (vata and kapha dosha pacifying) and agnivardhaka (stimulant, digestive and pitta analogue) therapy. Basti (medicated enema) which comes under Panchakarma (five biopurificatory measures) is considered as superior treatment in vata and vata predominant conditions. Matrabasti (low dose medicated oil enema) is a type of anuvasana basti (medicated lipid enema) which can be administered without much contraindication. Matrabasti administered with vatakaphashamaka and agnivardhaka drug can be better choice in the treatment of artavakshaya. Basti which is administered through guda maarga (rectal route) reaches the pakwashaya (large intestine) and spreads the virya (potency) of the drug to sarvasharira (whole body) through the microchannels. Basti which can act on the enteric nervous system and thereby act on the Central Nervous System can further stimulate the Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Ovarian (HPO) axis. A well co-ordinated HPO axis can normalise the menstrual cycle.

Herbs are the resources of biologically or pharmacologically active components that are conventionally used to treat various ailments. Apium graveolens is being significantly used in “Ayurvedic system of medicine”. Since these medicinal herbs are collected by untutored personals on the basis of their Sanskrit/ local names, there occurs a great chance of confusion or misidentification due to unawareness and related vernacular names. To assist exact and effortless recognition of drugs, Pharmacognostical characters involving macroscopical, microscopical and physiochemical parameters were studied. This helped in studying quality control parameters for sample identification with determination of their quality and purity.

The world in the new millennium is having Computer vision syndrome as a new complaint. Trividha Hetu i.e. Astamendriyarth Samyoga, Pragyaparadha (distortion from the moral values); and Parinama (Time) is basic Ayurveda fundamental for every disease pathogenesis. In reference of CVS, improper use of visual sensory organ leads to Digital stress injury similar to Astamendriyarth Samyoga, intellectual distortion of human acts i.e. Pragyaparadha and new millennium disease i.e. Parinam. Computer, suddenly change “the distance dominant” world into the complete “near point world’’. This change emerged visual disorder in form of vision-related discomfort, ocular fatigue, and systemic effects. Computer Vision Syndrome is identified as digital eye strain group of visual, ocular, and systemic symptoms caused by prolonged and improper use of Video Display Terminal (VDT). Blueprints recommended by Acharya Vagbhatt and Charaka for such types of disorders indicate that CVS can be assumed as Vata-Pittaja ocular cum systemic disease. So, topical therapy along with systemic therapy should be including for curative measures of CVS. The use of Rasayana Churna for oral intake and Phaltrikadi-Ghrita Netra Tarpana for topical therapy was tried among 20 patients of CVS distributed in two groups. In group I, combined treatment i.e oral and local therapy was given, shows the significant improvement in visual, ocular and systemic symptoms of CVS. While in groups II only oral treatment was given and shows significant results only on systemic symptoms of CVS. The outcome of study established CVS as a Vata-Pittaja visual, ocular as well as systemic disorder according to Ayurvedic perspective. So the overall treatment includes systemic health booster therapy combination with topical ocular medication gives the promising results for CVS management.

The most prevalent forms of ailments affecting a huge number of individuals throughout the world are digestive system problems. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 100 million people died globally as a result of digestive system diseases in 2012. Despite this, most scientific bodies disregard the relevance of a healthy digestive system and associated problems in health debates. Food and lifestyle have a direct influence on digestive health, and a healthy diet or a change in lifestyle can address a variety of issues. Plants provide a variety of phytochemicals and nutraceuticals that may aid in the treatment and prevention of a number of digestive problems. Plant-based remedies, including spices, are widely used by ordinary people across the world and can help digestion without causing adverse effects. Numerous ethnomedicinal studies show that the use of medicinal plants by traditional populations to treat digestive problems is widespread across the world. The biological activities of traditional herbal medicine used to treat digestive problems have been studied and generally indicate minimal side effects. However, as the demand for herbal medicines derived from plants grows across the world, more comprehensive clinical research on the advantages and toxicity of herbal medicines should be conducted. The goal of this study is to provide examples of research that have established and verified the use of plant-based medicines to treat digestive problems. In particular, traditional medicinal plant extracts or phytochemicals that have been shown to reduce symptoms of digestive system disorders along with mode of action and safety will be discussed.

In particular, traditional medicinal plant extracts or phytochemicals that have been shown to reduce symptoms of digestive system disorders along with mode of action and safety will be discussed.","PeriodicalId":15252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73751872","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}
Preliminary phytochemical analysis of ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Operculina turpethum L. (Family: Convolvulaceae) exhibited the presence of reducing sugar, phenolic compounds, tannins, flavonoids, carbohydrate, glycosides, alkaloids, acidic compounds, steroids, saponin, and terpenoids. The ethanolic crude extract showed significant (p<0.0001) peripheral analgesic activity at the doses of 250 mg/kg (26.47% writhing inhibition) and 500 mg/kg (50.74% writhing inhibition) determined by acetic acid induced writhing reflex in mice as compared to control Diclofenac sodium (77.94%). After solvent fractionation, n-Hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol and water fraction of Operculina turpethum showed 58.82%, 39.70%, 30.14%, and 20.58% writhing inhibition respectively at the dose of 500 mg/kg body weight. Different phytochemicals present in the extract might be responsible for biological activities found with this study. This research could form the basis of further investigation including pure compounds isolation.
