More than 35,000 plant species are being used in various human cultures around the world for medicinal purposes. Medicated oil plays an important role for prevention and cure of diseases in Ayurveda. Celastrus paniculatus seed oil is such wonderful medicinally useful oil. It is commonly known as Black-Oil tree, Intellect tree, Climbing-staff plant and Jyotishmati and “Tree of life” in Ayurveda. It possesses Anti-depressant, Anti-Parkinson, Anti-Alzheimer’s, Neuroprotective, IQ improving activity. In tribal district (Jashpur) of Chhattisgarh, Indian people uses traditional method to extract C. paniculatus oil. It is commonly used by the tribes for the treatment of various diseases like headache, muscular spasm and local inflammations. The present study aim is documentation of traditional method of oil extraction used by ‘Uraanv’ tribe. This paper also dealt with the Physicochemical and qualitative phytochemical evaluation of C. paniculatus seed oil. Oil yield by traditional method was 25%. Carbohydrate, reducing sugar, monosaccharide, protein, amino acid, steroid, flavonoid, alkaloid, fixed oil, phytosterols, saponin, diterpenoid and cardiac glycoside were found in the oil sample.The GC-MS analysis shows the presence of 47 compounds in the oil. These phytochemical might be responsible for the therapeutic effect of C. paniculatsus seed oil.

Background: Vatarakta is a disease which is said to affect the population indulging in sedentary lifestyle. In today’s era the evolution of technology has reached a point where pretty much anything is available at the touch of a button. The lifestyle of today’s population is breeding ground for diseases like Vatarakta. Based on the causes, signs and symptoms, Vatarakta may be correlated to gouty arthritis in contemporary medicine. Gout affects about 2.1 million worldwide. Its prevalence is increasing; moreover it is a potential signal for unrecognized co-morbidities like obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and renal diseases. In India the prevalence of gout is 2-6 per 1000. The purpose of this study is to explore and find out an effective, less expensive, easily available and well accepted drug with minimal or no complications for this dreadful condition. Materials and Methods: 40 patients diagnosed with Vatarakta w.s.r Gouty Arthritis were assigned randomly into 2 groups. Group A, were administered Bodhi Vruksha Twak Kashaya 50ml B.I.D with Madhu and Group B were administered Guduchi Kashaya 50ml B.I.D for a duration of 30 days. Assessment was done on day 0, day 15, day 30, and day 45. Observations and Results: In the present study Group A showed statistical significant results in all the parameters except for Sandhishotha and group B showed statistical significant result in Sandhishoola, Sandhidaha, Sparshasahaishnuta and uric acid levels. Conclusion: Overall result shows patients treated with Guduchi Kashaya showed better results than patients treated with Bodhi Vruksha Twak Kashaya with Madhu in Vatarakta with special reference to Gouty Arthritis.

Ayurvedic medicine was considered to be world’s oldest medical system, which was originated in India dating back over thousands of years. There was a long history regarding plants for the improvement of dental health and oral hygiene. Dentistry, Herbal Medicine, Periodontitis. Current researches showed that herbal extracts are effective because of the interaction with specific chemical receptors within the body. Nowadays, there has been a sudden increase in the use of herbal extracts or plant products as an alternative approach to modern day medicines. This system originated from Atharvaveda, one of the four Vedas written before 5000 B.C. However its use in dentistry/oral health is very limited. Therefore the present study was done to evaluate the effeicacy of Triphala and Bakul in comparison with chlorhexidine as an adjunct to non surgical periodontal therapy.

Background : Sandhigata Vata is characterized by Shoola (pain), Shopha (swelling) and restricted movement of affected joints. Osteoarthritis is characterized by inflammation of joints, marked by progressive cartilage damage as a result of age related degenerative change or trauma. Sandhigata Vata correlates with Osteoarthritis. Objectives - The present study was intended to evaluate and compare the efficacy of Asthishrinkhala (Trial drug) and Glucosamine sulfate (Control drug) in Janusandhigatavata w.s.r to Osteoarthritis. Materials and Method - 40 subjects diagnosed with Janusandhigatavata were randomly assigned into two equal groups comprising of 20 subjects each. Subjects of Group A received Janubasti with Mahavishagarbha Taila and Tab. Glucosamine sulfate 500mg 1 T.I.D after food and subjects of Group B received Janubasti with Mahavishagarbha Taila and Tab. Asthishrinkhala 500mg 1 T.I.D after food for a duration of 30 days. Observation and Results - In the present study, Asthishrinkhala and Glucosamine sulfate both were beneficial in reducing the symptoms of Janu Sandhigata Vata. On comparison between the groups, Glucosamine sulfate was more in beneficial in reducing the symptom of Janu Sandhigata Vata compared to Asthishrinkhala. However there was a statistically non significant result between groups, overall the subjects on glucosamine sulfate expressed greater benefit compared to Asthishrinkhala. Conclusion - Both the drugs were beneficial in managing the symptoms of Sandigatavata, but overall the subjects treated with glucosamine sulfate expressed greater benefits compared to subjects treated with Asthishrinkhala.

Introduction: Growth and development are unique characteristics of children. Growth is defined as an increase in the size of an individual due to increase in number and size of the cells, where development refers to qualitative and quantitative changes and acquisition of a variety of competencies for functioning optimally in a social milieu. The present study has been planned to evaluate the effect of Ashwagandhaghrita on physical growth and development of infants. Aims and objectives: To study the efficacy of Ashwagandha Ghrita on Growth and development of infants, in terms of change occurred in anthropometry and milestones during the study period. Materials and methods: The study was conducted on 40 healthy infants for a period of 12 weeks and a case performa was filled with the data obtained by interrogation, physical examination and collection of details of each child. Results: Ashwagandha Ghrita showed better effect on physical growth in terms of increment in weight, head circumference, chest circumference, mid arm circumference, crown to heel length as well as early significant achievement of developmental milestones compared to control group. Conclusion: Ashwagandha Ghrita has proved to be beneficial on Growth and Development of infants.
