Gallbladder (GB) carcinoma is caused by the epithelial lining of the GB and the cystic duct. It is the most common type of biliary tract cancer in the world. The majority of centers has a 5% of 5-year survival rate. Even after possibly curative or palliative surgery, there is a substantial risk of metastasis and recurrence, because only a small fraction of GB cancers are resectable when discovered first. As a result of its comprehensive approach, Ayurveda can address such conditions by improving patients’ quality of life as well as clinical outcomes. Although there are no direct references to GB cancer in Ayurveda, a number of scattered references can be linked to Gulma. This case series study aimed to develop a successful Ayurvedic protocol for the management of GB cancer following conventional anticancer therapy. The specific objective is to improve the patients’ quality of life. Three postoperative GB cancer patients were chosen and treated with Ayurvedic interventions of Hingwasthtak churna (5 g twice daily [BD]), Sanjeevani vati (500 mg BD), Mahashnakh vati (500 mg BD), Loknath rasa (250 mg BD), Drakshaavleha (6 g BD), and Tarunikusumakar (5 g). This treatment was followed for 2 months. As the subjective criterion signs and symptoms were graded based on standard grading system and quality-of-life scale. The objective criteria were evaluated based on hemoglobin percentage (Hb%) and liver function test (LFT) findings and improvement. These case series findings demonstrated the favorable effects and efficacy of chosen herbal formulations in the management of postoperative GB cancer for the time period studied. Hb% and LFT parameters improved significantly, and a significant reduction of related symptoms was observed. As a result, the prescribed Ayurvedic therapy protocol has a significant impact on the care of postoperative GB cancer patients.

Background: Darunaka is one of the Shirah-kapalagata Roga (head and skull diseases) and Kshudra Roga (minor ailments), characterized by Kandu (itching), Rukshata (dryness), Twak-sphutana (scaling), and Kesha-chyuti (hair fall). The clinical features correlate to Pityriasis simplex capitis (dandruff), which is a common condition that causes itchy, scaly skin on the scalp with high prevalence in the general adult population. Ayurveda emphasizes various Lepa Kalpana (semisolid medicaments used for external application) for Darunaka; Priyaladi lepa is one among them. As there is ambiguity about successful dandruff treatment due to its severity and frequent relapses, it necessitates finding an effective and safe topical antidandruff agent. Aim: To assess the effect of Priyaladi lepa in the management of Darunaka. Materials and Methods: Study was intended as an open-label, nonrandomized, single-arm, interventional trial. Thirty subjects were treated with the application of Priyaladi lepa on the scalp weekly twice for consecutive 2 weeks. Results: Overall results showed a decline in the severity of symptoms such as itching, dryness of scalp, cracking, and scaling of scalp as assessed with a five-point Likert scale. Conclusion: Application of Priyaladi lepa on the scalp showed a highly significant effect in pacifying the symptoms of Darunaka, and a marked reduction in clinical symptoms was well appreciated with four applications. There were no topical and systemic adverse drug effects noted at the end of the study.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or else known as Crohn’s disease is one of the most agonizing conditions that has an incidence of around 6 million people affected globally. The trends have been on the rise with changes in lifestyle and food habits making the concern into a still grave situation. In Ayurveda, this condition is usually related to a description of a disease known as “Grahani.” Its detailed description can be seen in all the related literature right from the time of Charaka Samhita, which is believed to be written around 2500 BC. It includes the sign and symptoms, prognosis, and different treatment modalities along with medicaments that help in countering it. In light of the said principles of treatment, many cases of gastro intestinal tract have been given relief, but the said case is of a seven and half-year-old boy who was diagnosed with the condition of IBD or Crohn’s disease. Here, the use of Ayurvedic medicines and the following of a strict diet led to the recovery in 16 months. The case study will highlight the recovery of the boy who was diagnosed with IBD by using Ayurvedic medicines along with the application of Ayurvedic principles. This is a standing evidence of how Ayurveda can be applied along with its broad spectrum of medicinal formulations in providing answers to grave health problems. This prompts us to have a detailed clinical study and research into the science in more openness along with proper understanding so as to achieve the objective of “health for all” as promogulated by the World Health Organization.

Tympanic membrane perforations may occur as the result of a pressure wave in the external ear canal or by direct penetration. About 50% are attributable to slap injuries or direct blows. Other reasons may be self-inflicted penetrating injuries account for about 25%. In the cases of traumatic perforation, patient suffers with pain and reversible conductive deafness, and may be complicated with tinnitus and vertigo. Large studies have shown that the mean time for spontaneous healing is about 1.5 months and the majority will have healed within 3 months. Appropriate and timely management shall be performed to reduce the incidence of permanent impairment. In Ayurveda, no direct reference is there for traumatic type of tympanic perforation. So, based on Nidana, it can be correlated with Agantuja Vrana (wound caused by eternal factor). In Agantuja Vrana (wound caused by eternal factor), many topical and Shamana Chikitsa (pacificatory treatment) have been mentioned. The aim and objective of the study were to evaluate the efficacy of Jatyadi Taila used for Karnapichu (a cotton roll soaked in medicated oil) along with the internal medication Panchatikta Ghrita Gugglu in the management of patients suffering from traumatic perforation. The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of Ayurvedic management including local procedure and systemic medicine in traumatic perforation in the tympanic membrane. This study was done on four subjects of traumatic perforation, in whom Karnapichu (a cotton roll soaked in medicated oil) with Jatyadi Taila and internal medicine Panchatikta Ghrita Gugglu was given for 7 days. The use of these two drugs showed significant improvement in pain, and perforations were healed completely within 7 days. Hence, the use of Jatyadi Taila for Karnapichu (a cotton roll soaked in medicated oil) and Panchatikta Ghrita Gugglu internally helps in healing of traumatic perforation.

Background: Azoospermia is defined as a complete absence of sperm in a given semen sample, which may have several causes behind it. Having no sperm can make it more difficult to conceive naturally and it is becoming a very common cause of infertility nowadays. In Ayurveda, it corresponds to shukrakshaya (diminution of semen). Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of Ayurvedic approach for treating azoospermia. Materials and Methods: In this case report, the patient presented with the complaint of being unable to conceive since 9 years. According to symptomatic presentations and by assessing biological parameters, the case was diagnosed to be of shukrakshaya. Clinical presentation and biochemical parameter, that is, Semen analysis, confirmed the case as Azoospermia according to modern medicine. Traditional ancient Ayurvedic approach was adopted for treating the case incorporating aahar-vihaar (food and lifestyle), shaman (pacifying therapy), and shodhan (detoxification therapy) principles. The case was treated on the line of principles of shukrakshaya. Shodhan chikitsa using mahatikta ghrita and abhyadi modaka was done. Shaman chikitsa including internal administration of herbal and rasaushadhis formulations such as makaradhwajarasa, Pushpadhanva rasa, shakravallabh rasa, and Aamalaki rasayana along with dietary regimen was given to the patient. Results and Conclusion: After 5–6 months of treatment, significant changes in semen analysis without any adverse effect were observed in the case. It can be inferred or concluded from the above case that Ayurvedic approach is having valuable potential for treating such disorders and should be adopted as well.

Huntington’s chorea is a genetic neurodegenerative disease described by undesirable choreatic developments, social and mental disturbances, and dementia. It is a rare disease, reported an overall prevalence of 0.40 per 1,00,000. In this report, we are presenting a case of a 36-year-old female patient diagnosed with Huntington’s chorea. The treatment had done through multiple inpatient department admissions and managed with Sodhana (~eliminative) and Shamana (~palliative medicines) methods. For the assessment, we have used the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale and Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale. There is no specific cure for this disease but symptomatic relief is the main aim of the management. Here, the case is discussed, considering its less prevalence and scope of Ayurveda in treating this kind of disease.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of dysmenorrhea (Udavarta yonivyapad) in Indian population and the utilization of Ayurvedic practices. Furthermore, the study attempts to analyze the barriers to Ayurvedic health care access in Indian population. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was done using a semistructured questionnaire with 40 questions on various aspects of dysmenorrhea and the utilization of Ayurvedic health services. From the responses of 310 respondents, 306 were included in the study. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale was used to gauge the intensity of pain. A descriptive analysis of the data collected was done, and the results were expressed as percentages. Results: The present study shows 75.16% prevalence of dysmenorrhea. Among the respondents with dysmenorrhea, over-the-counter usage of medicines was more prevalent in participants with mild dysmenorrhea, whereas professional consultation was sought with increased severity of pain. Many participants sought more than one treatment modality for pain relief. Those who got relief were 38.89% who sought allopathic treatment and 62.79% who sought Ayurvedic management. Conclusion: The number of participants seeking Ayurvedic professional was comparatively less with regard to the prevalence of dysmenorrhea. Even though Ayurvedic management is perceived to be effective in managing dysmenorrhea by those who opted, the number of participants who sought Ayurveda was less. Lack of awareness regarding Ayurvedic remedies for simple ailments such as dysmenorrhea and lack of reference system were the reasons for it. Awareness should be created regarding Ayurvedic management of dysmenorrhea and other ailments for safe and efficacious use of Ayurvedic health care system.

Pseudogout (PG) is an acute arthritic attack that affects daily activities owing to a deviation from a natural diet and lifestyle. It produces extreme pain and swelling in joints, particularly in the knees. PG is a breakdown of calcium pyrophosphate crystals, an insoluble calcium salt, from bone that has been accumulated in ligaments and joint spaces, particularly in knee joints. Traditional medicine has a tough time managing PG; thus people all around the world are looking for a modality that is safe, affordable, and simple to use. The aim of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of herbal ayurvedic treatments for PG, including Kaishore Guggulu, Punarnavasavm, and Punarnavadi Guggulu. A 26-year-old male patient crwe3 presented with severe pain and swelling in around the right knee joint, tenderness, and redness without fever on September 8, 2021. The incidence of PG is about 1.3 per 1000 adults. According to the presentation, the case was diagnosed as a Kroshtuksheersha (PG) mentioned in the Ayurveda text. Palliative herbal medicines (Kaishore Guggulu, Punarnavasavm, and Punarnavadi Guggulu) were given for 15 days and assessment was done on the 8th, 16th, 41st, 58th, and 73rd day. Before the intervention, the composite visual analogous scale score was 9; after the intervention, it was lowered to 0, and the right circumference of midpatella measurement measurement was 50 cm; it was then decreased to 44 cm. According to a case study, PG (Kroshtuksheersha) can be managed safely and very well with herbal medicines from Ayurveda.

Background: Frozen shoulder (FS) is a commonly experienced health problem in orthopedic practices. It may arise naturally without a noticeable influencing reason or be linked with a variety of secondary local as well as systemic disorders. FS can be diagnosed on the basis of the distinctive features of the painful shoulder and the restriction of internal rotation, but the underlying pathological courses remain unexplored. Pain relief is the main objective of most of the treatments for FS. However, the prolonged nature of this disease and its impact on the patient’s functionality, the objective should be refined to early pain relief and functional reinstatement. Materials and Methods: This case series comprised four cases of primary FS managed through four sittings of Agnikarma (peripheral nerve field stimulation) in 1 week interval by Panchadhatu shalaka (rode of five metals). Along with local management 40 ml Dashmooladi kwatha (decoction) orally empty stomach in the morning and 1 h before dinner in the evening for a duration of 4 weeks. Statistical Analysis: The observed results in the study were subjected to descriptive statistics to derive the conclusion. Results: Complete pain relief was noticed in all four cases, and the affected range of motion was achieved to normal except for internal rotation and Apley’s scratch test in all four cases after 1 month of treatment. Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score improved from 65 to 27, 41.5 to 28, 44 to 29, and 45 to 28, respectively. Agnikarma is a prevalent intervention in nonsurgical management to provide better pain relief in the late phase of stage I and stage II, III FS. Conclusion: These series signify that management of the FS (Avabahuka) with peripheral nerve field stimulation through Panchadhatu shalaka and Dashmooladi kwatha can reduce FS pain immediately and diminish the inefficiency of the shoulder from weeks to months.
