Introduction: About 422 million people worldwide, most of whom reside in low and middle-income nations, have diabetes (metabolic lifestyle disorder), according to the World Health Organisation, contributing to 1.5 mil-lion deaths annually. Aahara (diet) and Yoga asanas are essential for controlling and preventing lifestyle disor-ders. Thus, this study assessed how yoga techniques and the Aahara contribute to managing diabetes mellitus. Methodology: A single arm open randomised clinical study was conducted on 30 clinically diagnosed patients with diabetes mellitus 2 for Yoga asanas (Mandukasana, Kurmasana, Vakrasana, and Ardhamatsyendrasana) and Ayurvedic Aahara plan in the Postgraduate Institute of Ayurved, DSRRAU, Jodhpur. The study evaluates their role in the management of Prabhoot Mutrata (Polyuria), Avila Mutrata (Urine turbidity), Pipasadhikya (Polydipsia), Kshuda Adhikya (Polyphagia), Sweda Adhikya (The excessive sweating) The, Dourbalya The (Weakness The/Tiredness The), The Alasya (The Laziness) The, Atinidra (Excessive sleep), Karpada Daha (Burning sensation in hands and feet) and blood sugar level (i.e. FBS and PPBS, HbA1c). Result: The result of the study depicts that Yoga asanas and Ayurvedic Aahara have significantly helped in reducing the Prabhoot Mutrata, Avila Mutrata, Pipasadhikya, Kshuda Adhikya, Sweda Adhikya, Dourbalya, Alasya, Atinidra, Karpada Daha and blood sugar level. Conclusion: The study concluded that Yoga therapy and the Aahara plan have a role in managing diabetes mellitus by lowering medication dosages, increasing physical and mental alertness, and preventing complications. Results should be validated in larger sample sizes and multicentric models to es-tablish it as a well-known treatment.

Ayurveda, an ancient science renowned for its unique theories and philosophies, is widely recognised for its characteristics that promote a healthy lifestyle. Among the various ayurvedic theories, one of the most prominent is 'Pramana’ or 'Pariksha', which translates to 'Proof'. Pramana encompasses four main types: Aptopdesha, Pratyaksha, Anumana, and Yukti. Acharya Charak elaborated on these types in the 11th adhyaya of Sutrasthan. Aptopdesha holds significant importance as it represents an authoritative statement of fact provided by a knowledgeable and trustworthy individual, an 'Apta purush'. Aptopdesha serves as a fundamental source of information in any scientific discipline. Its role is crucial in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, as well as in research methodologies. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the utility of Aptopdesha Pramana.

Vatasteela is one of the Mootraghatas. Vatashteela is named so because of the Vatadushti and formation of a Granthi which is like Ashma (stone like). This Granthi causes obstruction to Mootramarga. Due to the obstruc-tion, it results in clinical features like Basti Adhmana (Distention of Basti), Vedana (Pain) and Mootrasanga (Obstruction to flow of Mootra). The Etiopathogenesis of Vatasteela is understood with the help of general de-scription of Mootraghatas and other related concepts. The treatment consideration for Vatashteela is also same as Mootraghata Chikitsa. Based on the similarity found in the clinical picture, Vatashteela is compared with Be-nign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).

Parikartika (anorectal fissure) has become the most common and painful condition in anorectal disorders. Nowadays, people have faulty lifestyles and improper food habits, leading to the vitiation of doshas, particularly Apana vayu, which is a significant factor for deterioration in anal conditions leading to fissures in the ano with severe pain in the anal region. In Modern science, various treatment modalities, including antibiotics, laxatics, sphincterectomy, fissurectomy, etc., are expensive and require long hospitalisation with other unwanted complications. Hence, pain management is the first step by Vedanasthapan drugs, which results in pain-relieving and rapid healing of the fissure. The lack of analgesics in ayurvedic medicines is a disadvantage, and there is a constant quest for an ideal ayurvedic analgesic medicine like vedana-sthapana drugs. The properties of Vedanasthapanamahakashaya ointment and Vedanasthapana ghanvati are the group of drugs which subside pain and restore all vitiated doshas in the body to an equilibrium state. So, the Vedanasthapan Mahakashaya, on the basis of the chemical constituents of each drug, can be estimated that the part of drugs which is used to subside the pain in the body and these classes of drugs have the qualities of analgesic, anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties.

Epidemiology, the essential aspect of community medicine, is pivotal in understanding and controlling health-related states or events in populations. The Concept of Epidemiology and its principles in Ayurveda, apart from Janapadodwamsa, is a lesser-explored domain. Employing an advanced epidemiological model encompassing Time (Kala), Environment (Desha), Host (Purusha), and Causative factors (Nidanas), including Aharaja, Viharaja, Manaika, and Agantuja factors along with modes of transmission and factors influencing human health in Ayurveda, the analysis unravel the hidden doctrine of Epidemiology in Ayurveda. This study is a modest attempt to understand the epidemiological concepts mentioned in Ayurveda, shedding light on their potential contributions to contemporary public health understanding and programme planning.

Parenthood is a blessing for all time. Due to today's competitive world, the younger generation wants children with excellent health, high intelligence, and wisdom. But in today's dysfunctional societies, people aren't paying attention to marital age, healthy daily routines, or seasonal routines because of career orientation and busy schedules. As a result, various disorders that affect physical, psychological, and reproductive outcomes are emerging. The goal of a healthy humanity is being threatened by the rising incidence of congenital flaws in newborns, which is causing great anxiety in the medical community. These congenital flaws might be classified as minor, significant, anatomical, physiological, or latent. A healthy progeny must have healthy parents, according to Ayurvedic beliefs. The physical changes that a mother experiences at each stage of pregnancy are also covered in detail in Ayurveda, as well as the embryo's growth in the womb. In "Pregnancy Vyakaran," the overall pregnancy is discussed. In a chapter called "Garbhavakranti," the text Charaka Samhita also discusses the fetus' growth. Nature has entrusted us with a significant amount of duty. This knowledge is crucial and urgently required for the welfare of a better society with healthy offspring using Ayurveda.

Around the world, a lower leg is amputated every 30 seconds due to gangrene. The mortality rate from diabetic foot gangrene is almost precisely the same as the mortality rate from cancer. When gangrene becomes severe, the only alternative treatments are surgical debridement of the injured tissue (which cannot be reversed) or amputation of the affected limb. The current case study provides an alternative to conventional medical care for chronic wounds & the gangrenous stage that is not healing correctly: Ayurvedic medicine (blood purifier and oxygen-sufficiency enhancer). A 60-year-old woman who had developed a chronic wound which was eventually converting into dry gangrene alongside intense pain was in danger as she was advised to have her left foot amputated below the knee underwent this trial. The patient's gangrenous great toe was extremely painful (80 mm on a 100 mm visual analogue scale) and had necrosed modifications that smelled bad. Aragvadhadi kashaya & Shatdhaut Ghrita were used as wound dressing since it is particularly effective at removing necrotizing areas. Leech Therapy or Hirudotherapy, along with Kishore Guggulu, were used for pain management together to promote healing, oxygen sufficiency & rejuvenation of the skin. Within 25 days, the pain score on a 100 mm visual analogue scale dropped to 0-10 mm, and no more painkillers were needed. Necrotic patches vanished, and the wound healed entirely over almost eight weeks (2 months)

Introduction: Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine, elucidates the process of fetal development, emphasis-ing the union of sperm, ovum, and soul to form the fetus. Despite this intricate process, the potential for fetal defects, termed Garbha Vikruti, exists due to factors such as vitiation in sperm or ovum. Ayurveda attributes these defects to the mother's pre-conception and gestational diet, lifestyle, teratologic agents, and Dosha vitia-tion, impacting organogenesis and leading to diverse forms of Garbha Vikruti. The severity and timing of Dosha vitiation during pregnancy are critical in determining the extent of abnormalities, influencing fetal health and longevity. Objectives: This study explores the concepts of Garbh Vikruti and teratogenicity in Ayurveda. The research delves into the correlation between Ayurveda's Avayava Utpatti and Modern Organogenesis, examining sources including classical Ayurveda texts, journal articles, textbooks on embryology, and evidence-based re-search articles. Materials and Methods: The study synthesises information from classical Ayurveda texts (Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Kashyapa Samhita), Ayurveda journal articles, embryology/anatomy text-books, and research articles from reputable databases. The correlation between Ayurvedic and modern concepts is analysed to understand the factors causing fetal defects. Results: The article explores Ayurvedic concepts such as Beeja (gametes), Beejabhaga (chromosomes), Beejabhagavayava (genes), Aatmakarma (spiritual influ-ences), Aashaya (uterine abnormalities), Kaala Dosha (temporal influences), and Matuaaharvihara (diet and lifestyle) as factors contributing to Garbha Vikruti. The study discusses the role of vitiated Beeja, chromosomal anomalies, genetic diseases, spiritual influences, uterine abnormalities, temporal factors, maternal diet and life-style in causing teratological malformations. Conclusion: Fetal defects are categorized into genetic (Beeja Dosha) and metabolic (Garbha Vighatakara Bha-va) factors. Genetic defects include conditions like cleft lip and congenital heart defects, while metabolic defects encompass neural tube defects. The study emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to understanding and managing these factors, ensuring optimal fetal health and preventing future diseases. Prenatal advisors are urged to discourage the consumption of certain harmful foods, contributing to a comprehensive strategy for fetal well-being and future health.

In the realm of Ayurveda, various dermatological conditions are encompassed under the broad term "Kushta." One specific subtype is Vaipadika Kushta, categorised as a form of Kshudra Kushta, distinguished by the fissuring of both palms (Pani) and soles (Pada), accompanied by intense pain (Teevra Vedana). This manifestation bears a resemblance to palmoplantar psoriasis in conventional medical terms. In a particular case, a patient had been grappling with the distressing symptoms of dryness and cracking on both feet for two years. These symptoms were further compounded by slight bleeding and intense itching. The therapeutic approach involved a combination of Raktamokshana (bloodletting), Aragwadha Takradhara (medicated buttermilk pouring), and Shamanoushadha (palliative medication). Remarkably, within a span of three months, this integrated treatment regimen yielded significant and positive results for the patient.

Dustavrana (chronic ulcers) are frequently encountered problems in the present era. They are produced common-ly as a complication of trauma or pathogenic insult, and they cause long-term agony to the patients. Diabetes patients have poor glycemic control, and frequent foot ulcers lead to amputation of the leg. Acharya Sushruta has explained Vrana in detail in “Sushruta Samhita “ as a concourse of wound healing procedures described by Sushruta still holds its place today.
