The principal aim of Ayurveda is to maintain and promote positive physical and mental health as well as ensure the prevention of diseases. Sandhigata Vata is the commonest form of articular disorder. It is a type of Vatavyadhi which mainly occurs in Vriddhavastha due to Dhatukshaya, which limits everyday activities such as walking, dressing, bathing etc. It occurs due to change in lifestyle like unsuitable sitting, sleeping, standing and look upwards or obliquely in various professions. Osteoarthritis (OA) is degenerative joint disorder, represents failure of the diarthrodial (movable, synovial lined) joint. OA of the joints comes under the inflammatory group which is almost identical to Sandhigata Vata described in Ayurveda with respect to etiology, pathology, and clinical features. Marma therapy is one which gives instant relief from pain by balancing local Vata and Kapha Dosha without any untoward effects. In the present research work, total 15 diagnosed case of Sandhigata Vata were randomly selected from OPD and IPD of department of Shalya Tantra, Rishikul Campus, Uttarakhand Ayurveda University, Haridwar (U.K.) India, all these patients were treated with the application of Marma therapy. Result was observed on the basis of subjective and objective parameters and analysed statistically. No complications were observed in this clinical study.

Pakshaghata is one among 80 Vata Namathmaja Vyadhi. In Pakshaghata vitiated Vata resides in one half of body and causes Vishoshana of Sira and Snayu leading to loosening of joints results into manifestation of symptoms like Cheshta Nivrutti, Ruja and Vakstambha. Pakshaghata can be correlated to stroke or CVA. The study aims to evaluate the combined effectiveness of Maharasnadi Kashaya with Shunti Churna as Anupana in management of Pakshaghata (CVA due to infarct). The open label prospective clinical study was conducted among the 32 patients of Pakshaghata by convenient sampling method at a tertiary Hospital Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara College of Ayurveda and Hospital, Hassan, Karnataka from December 2018 to December 2019. The effectiveness of the drug showed improvement in primary outcome measures such as Cheshta Nivrutti, Vakstambha and Ruk in subjects of Pakshaghata with p value less than 0.05. In this study, maximum improvement was found in “Ruk” followed by “Cheshta Nivrutti” and then “Vak Stambha”. Hence this drug is more effective in “Saruja Pakshaghata” hence; it showed improvement in the NIH stroke scale parameters with p value less than 0.05. The combined effectiveness of Maharasnadi Kashaya with Shunti Churna as Anupana in management of Pakshaghata (CVA due to Infarct) is proved.

Sandhi Gata Vata is a clinical condition that comes under the heading of Vata Vyadhi where Prakupita Vata affects Sandhi and causes specific signs and symptoms. Lakshanas of Sandhi Gata Vata of Janu Sandhi resembles the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis of knee. Osteoarthritis of the knee is more commonly found in women than men, and the prevalence increases dramatically with age. The major risk factors associated with osteoarthritis knee joint are old age, obesity, excessive usage of knee joint (occupational), which makes it an important cause of disability. A clinical study was conducted on 31 subjects by administering combination of Maharsnadi Kashaya with Shunti Churna and Matra Basti with Ksheerabala Taila and the results obtained were statistically analysed. Statistically significant reduction in Lakshanas of Janu Sandhi Gata Vata and WOMAC scores were noted.

Hepatocellular jaundice is a sign that usually accompanies diseases of liver, the organ that detoxifies metabolites, synthesizes proteins, produces biochemicals necessary for digestion, decomposes red blood cells and produces hormones,[1] hence is constantly under the risk of various diseases. Causes of hepatocellular jaundice are numerous with the most common being viral hepatitis, alcohol and drug toxicity. Kamala described among the Pittaja Nanatmaja Vyadhi has Haridra Varna of Netra, Twak, Nakha, Anana, Mutra as the cardinal sign, hence analogous to jaundice. The administration of Gavakshimoola Draava for 3 days is described in the management of Kamala. A clinical trial was conducted on 15 subjects and the results obtained were statistically analysed. Statistically significant reduction of Lakshana of Kamala and serum levels of bilirubin with p-value less than 0.05 was noted.

Back ground: Epilepsy describes a condition in which a person has recurrent seizures due to a chronic, underlying process. Globally, it is the third most common neurological disorder. There is still a need for an ideal anticonvulsant agent with broad spectrum activity, rapid onset of action, least side effects, good bio availability and low cost. Materials and Methods: Vishagna (Alstonia venenata R. Br.) belonging to Apocynaceae family is an ethno medicinal plant; the stem bark of the plant is used as antiepileptic drug among tribes. This study aims to experimentally evaluate anticonvulsant activity of the drug in PTZ induced generalized seizures and kindling on Swiss albino mice. The acute oral toxicological evaluation of the drug was conducted prior to the anticonvulsant study. Result and Conclusion: Result of the toxicological study reveals that the drug is relatively safe to be used as medicine. The data of the experimental study shows that the drug is moderate to highly effective anticonvulsant in PTZ induced generalized seizures and is mild-moderately helpful in controlling the development of kindled seizures in mice. It also shows that the drug imparts protective action against a sub convulsive dose of PTZ in kindling by inhibiting epileptogenesis and development of potential seizure threshold even when the disease was fully developed.

Ahara plays an important role in the maintenance of health and cure of diseases. Various dietetic preparations are explained in Ayurveda under Pathya Kalpana. Among this Pathya Kalpana, Peya is most commonly used preparation. No much study is undergone on this topic. Peya is beneficial in healthy and diseased. Peya is Satmya to people living in southern parts of India. So medicines can be administered by adding it with Peya. In classics, there are various diseases in which Peya have been recommended. On administering Oushada Siddha Peya in these conditions Peya does its action as well as exhibits the properties of Dravyas with which it is processed. It cures disease and at the same time nourishes Dhathus. A KAP survey was conducted as a part of study among the Ayurvedic practitioners. Majority of practitioners were found to administer classical Peya Yogas. Utility of Peya have been extended to other diseases, which are not mentioned in classical ayurvedic text books. This proves that Peya can be administered depending on the condition of patient as well as stage of disease. It was observed from the study that 78.0% practitioners had good knowledge regarding Peya and more than 50.0% had positive attitude towards this treatment modality. But only 46.0% practitioners adopted Oushada Siddha Peya in their practice.

Background: Apabahuka is a Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi, in which locomotive functions of Amsa Sandhi are affected mainly due to Vata Dosha Prakopa causing pain, stiffness and restricted movement of the shoulder. Apabahuka can be correlated to Frozen shoulder or Adhesive Capsulitis in modern medicine because of similar symptomatology. Nasya is indicated in Urdhwajatrugata Vikaras. Pinyaka Taila and Swalpa Masha Taila are Vatahara Taila used for Nasya. Method: A single blind randomised clinical study in which 40 clinically diagnosed patients of Apabahuka, fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected and divided into two groups - Group A treated with Pinyaka / Panchamula Taila Nasya and Group B treated with Swalpa Masha Taila Nasya, comprising of 20 patients each. Result: Statistically Nasya with Pinyaka Taila showed better results in Pain (51.2%), Stiffness (48%), Tenderness (58.33%), with improvement in goniometric readings of shoulder ROM than Nasya with Swalpa Masha Taila in Pain (39.4%), stiffness (40.9%), Tenderness (58%). Discussion: Rukshadi Gunas of Vata are increased in Apabahuka hence Viparita Gunas like Snigdhadi in the form of Brumhana Nasya with Pinyaka Taila was found to be effective in Apabahuka. In the present study Group A Nasya with Pinyaka Taila showed better effect than Group B Nasya with Swalpa Masha Taila.

In today’s modern competitive world, people are oriented towards white collar jobs, use of computer and thus prone more to develop Manyasthambha which is an emerging morbidity in society. Manyasthambha is one of the Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi with symptoms such as pain and stiffness is pacified through Vata Kapha management. It can be correlated to cervical spondylosis which is commonly seen in middle and elderly population. About 85% of males and 60-70% of the females shows degenerative changes leading to cervical spondylosis. Anti inflammatory, Analgesic is the drugs of choice in contemporary system of medicine. But all the analgesic is liable to cause many side effects particularly by repeated and prolonged usage. Ayurveda the age-old Indian system of medicine advocates a reliable management of Manyasthambha. Nasya is believed to have a note worthy role in relieving pain and stiffness within the cardinal feature of Manyasthambha. Yogasanas also help in relieving neck pain and stiffness around spine and strengthens, increases flexibility of the spine and para-spinal muscles. It increases blood circulation and reduces compression in nerve. Therefore, this study has been undertaken as an attempt to help the patients suffering from Manyasthambha in our society and also to evaluate the efficacy of these treatment modalities.
