Not so long ago, we faced the worst pandemics in history, so immunity and immunomodulation have been quite a topic of interest recently. Parallelly, Ayurveda describes the concept of Ojas, Bala and Vyadhikshyamtva, which can be maintained in its best state by dietary supplements and Rasayana. Acharya Kashyap has described Ojas as the yellowish-reddish-white matter present in the Hridaya, devoid of Sleshma. It flourishes by the food and herbs having Snidgha, Laghu Guna, Madhura rasa, and Madhura vipaka. In Kashyap Samhita, a limited description of Ojas is found compared to other ancient mainstream scriptures. Some special chapters devoted to Ojas and Bala (immunity in today’s scenario) are Lehana, Lasuna, Satapushpa and Satavarikalp. Lehana in the form of Swarnprashana is one of the best immunomodulators available in Ayurveda, followed by regular dietary intake of Milk (having all qualities of Ojas). In this review article, efforts have been made to highlight the de-scription of Ojas, Bala, Vyadhiskyamatva and Rasayan in Kashyap Samhita.

The term Triphala is famous in Ayurveda literature. The word Triphala is commonly used for Haritaki, Vibhitaki, and Amalaki. But Sugandhi Triphala has three powerful ingredients, Jatiphala, Puga, and Lavanga, and they have been used for centuries in various cultures for their numerous health benefits and culinary uses. These ingredients, also known as nutmeg, Betel nut, and cloves, respectively, are rich in flavor and possess medicinal properties that make them highly sought after. It is astringent, Madhura in Vipaka, and valuable in Vibandha. It acts on Vata kapha dosha.

Lichen Amyloidosis is a chronic pruritic skin disorder of unknown origin characterized by Amyloid deposition in skin. Excessive scratching and consistent friction between skin can damage the epidermis of skin leading to extracellular protein accumulation which creates papules and rashes. A case of 74-year male patient presented with blackish papules associated with itching in bilateral shin region with no relevant family history and was diagnosed as Lichen Amyloidosis. As per Ayurveda on basis of Dosha, Kaphavataja Kushta i.e., Kitibha Kusta can be corelated to Lichen Amyloidosis. In conventional treatment as there is no known cure for amyloidosis, in the present case, treatment was planned based on the principles of Kusta chikitsa depending on Dosha dominence. Snehana, Swedana, Virechana and Shamana treatment was followed. Treatment shows marked improvement from symptoms which proves that Dosha/Lakshana based approach has good outcomes in chronic disorders of unknown origin also.

Herbo-mineral formulations occupy a significant seat in Ayurvedic pharmaceutics. Nearly 70% of formulations include a combination of one or more metallic/minerals with several herbs which have a supporting role in treat-ing the disease. Gandhaka is a primary substance and a fundamental part of the Ayurvedic laboratory. Gandha-ka, being the first among the Uparasa Varga, plays a vital role in the preparation of Chaturvidha Rasa-Rasayanas; Sagandha Yogas are considered the most productive among all the herbo-mineral preparations and hence can be used for longer duration without any complications. Gandhaka Kalpa1 is a herbo mineral formula-tion explained in Rasayoga Sagara, which includes the bhavana (trituration) of shuddha Gandhaka with Amalaki Swarasa for seven days. The study aims to prepare Gandhaka Kalpa as per the standard manufacturing proce-dure mentioned in classical texts and to analyse the sample for purity and quality by utilising suitable Analytical parameters. Results -The analysis of Gandhaka Kalpa shows an increase in weight after seven days of Bhavana; the Presence of a low amount of moisture content of Gandhaka Kalpa (2.88%) leads to decreased decomposition and enhanced shelf life and therapeutic value. Low Acid insoluble Ash determines the presence of soft adherent dirt and sand particles. Heavy metal tests and microbial analysis showed results within limits, which refers to the samples' safety profile and the drug's stability. Retention factor values in HPTLC confirmed the multi-polarity index of the compounds and a wide range of active principles.

One of the primary causes of poor digestive health is changing one's lifestyle, changing one's nutrition, and experiencing mental stress. Toxins that have been slowly deposited in the GI tract make it difficult for nutrients to be absorbed. Nutritional deficiencies and toxin accumulation bring on more digestive issues. The finest options for purifying the body and mind and establishing a healthy state are Yoga and Marma therapy. Therefore, the most significant natural treatment for central digestive system issues is Yoga and Marma chikitsa. Bad eating habits, mental strain, and sedentary lifestyles disrupt the body's homeostasis. Several Yoga poses directly stimulate the Marma point. They remove the obstruction, which permits appropriate prana flow.

Infertility is a disease of the male or female reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. Estimates suggest that approximately one in every six people of reproductive age worldwide experience infertility in their lifetime. Conventional management need long term therapy and are not devoid of ADR’s. Vajikarana is one among Astanga Ayurveda that deals with the preservation and amplification of sexual potency of a healthy man and conception of healthy progeny. Vajikarana yogas helpful in management of Shukra dusti and Vandytava were documented in the classics. ‘TilaGokshura Sidda Dugdha’ is one such formulation explained by Chakradatta in Vajikarana chapter indicat-ed in Shandatva (Impotency). The ingredients of yoga are Tila and Gokshura processed in Aja ksheera (Gaot milk) which are having Shukrala and Vrishya karma. Thus, yoga was selected to evaluate the Vajikarana karma. Also, an additional attempt is made to evaluate the same yoga by changing the processing agent as Go-Dugda(Cow milk) in another group. MATERIAL AND METHODS : Wister rats were grouped in to 5 groups of 6 animals each. Experimental period was 28 days study. Oligospermia was induced by administrating Metroni-dazole for initial 14 days. Group one as Normal, Group 2 as Disease control, Group 3 was treated with Clomi-phene citrate, Group 4 and Group 5 were treated with Tila Gokshura Sidda Dugda (Aja Dugda Saditha) and Tila Gokshura Sidda Dug-da (Go-Dugda Saditha) respectively for next 14 days. Sexual Behaviour Pattern, Sperm count, Serum parameters, Tissue parameters and Histopathological changes in testis tissue were Observed. DIS-CUSSIONS AND CONCLUSION : Tila Gokshura Sidda Dugda (Aja Dugda Saditha) showed effective Vajika-rana karma in experimental rats when compared to standard drug. RESULTS : The results of the experimental study reveal that TilaGokshura Sidda Dugda has significant Vajikarana karma when compared with standard drug.

Women are the pioneers of any Nation; they comprise half of the world’s population. They are the key to sustainable development, and the quality of life in families depends on them. Any disorder that hampers women’s general, mental, and reproductive health should be considered and require medical attention. Ayurvedic texts discuss the subject of women’s reproductive organ diseases under the subject of Yonivyapads. All Ayurvedic texts have described twenty Yonivyapads covering almost all gynaecological disorders. Shleshmala Yonivyapad is one of them, occurring due to vitiated Kapha Dosh having signs and symptoms like abnormal vaginal discharge, itching, coldness, and pain. Vulvovaginitis is the inflammation of the vulva and vagina due to several conditions like various infections, improper hygiene and dietary habits, etc. It is a frequently observed condition in gynaecological practice in today’s era. Its symptoms are more or less similar to that of Shleshmala Yonivyapad. Hence, an effort has been made to gather information available in texts on this disease in both aspects i.e. Ayurveda and modern, for better understanding and curing the patients.

Vitiligo is a disease that causes loss of skin colour in patches. The discolored areas usually get more significant with time. Typically, the colour of hair and skin is determined by melanin. Vitiligo occurs when cells that produce melanin die or stop functioning. Vitiligo affects people of all skin types, but it may be more noticeable in people with brown and black skin. It can be linked to Shwitra based on clinical characteristics. Shwitra occurs when vitiated Doshas settle down in Rakta Dhatu. Rakta Dhatu further gets vitiated; Rakta Varna lesions are produced. When Doshas gets settled in Medho Dhatu, it leads to Shwitra Roga. 1 Medical scientists have developed treatment methods, but there are still a lot of side effects, and the probability of recurrence is also high in this disease condition. Hence, it is necessary to find an effective treatment for Shwitra. This study aims to assess the efficacy of Ayurvedic management in Shwitra based on Shaman chikitsa.

Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes red, itchy, scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbow, trunk, and scalp, characterised by erythematous, swollen skin lesions. It is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory condition mainly affecting the skin and joints. A 45-year-old male came to me with psoriasis with red scaly lesions on his legs and forearms; itching was there over the affected part. He received oral Ayurveda medications and signs and symptoms were monitored. After 15 months of treatment, the patient was relieved of signs and symptoms without any adverse effects of treatment. In the present case study, it was observed that psoriasis can be treated efficiently with the help of oral Ayurveda medications. It was also found to be affordable and require no hospitalisation.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive disorder involving declining kidney functions over years. The disorder is associated with a broad spectrum of presenting features, including breathlessness, oedema, nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss, etc. CKD is highly prevalent worldwide. The solution of choice for CKD is either kidney transplantation or blood purification treatments such as haemodialysis (HD). Such medical procedure involves an arduous journey for the patients. Hence, such patients often resort to alternative medicines to improve their quality of life. Ayurveda treatment modality not only offers a good solution for the same, providing parallel support to HD patients, thereby improving their quality of life, but in some instances, it depicts auspicious results, thereby substituting the official medicine. Ayurveda caters to its vital principles, as they play a pivotal role in electing the treatment, hence an in-detail study to find the Dosha(biological humour), Dushya (affected tissues), Strotas(circulatory channels) etc., involved in the manifestation and progression of the disease, thereby formulating its pathogenesis is utmost essential because proficiently practised Ayurveda modality complying its basic concepts is capable of definitely yielding reliable & optimal results when applied for disease management.
