The Biceps brachii muscle belongs to the flexor group of muscles in the arm. As Biceps brachii is double headed muscle. It is one of the known variable muscles of the human body in terms of number and morphology. The third head of the biceps brachii muscle was identified bilaterally in an 84-year-old male cadaver during routine human cadaveric dissection for the purpose of education and learning of medical undergraduates in Department of Rachana Sharir, National Institute of Ayurveda, deemed to be university, Jaipur. Normally the Biceps brachii muscle has two heads i.e. Long and short head. In present cadaveric study third head of bicep brachii muscle has been identified while doing routine dissection for undergraduate scholars. The fleshy proximal attachment on lower 1/3 of anterior surface of shaft of humerus has been identified. It has been origin ate along with the superior part of the Brachialis and inserted into the bicipital aponeurosis, and deep to the long and short heads of the Biceps. This third head is supplied by a branch of the musculocutaneous nerve. The third head of biceps brachii may be an incidental finding at autopsy or during routine anatomical dissections. Unless symptomatic, the third head of biceps brachii may not be detected in clinical studies. Variant of biceps brachii may confuse a surgeon who performs procedures on the arm and may lead to iatrogenic injuries. The surgeons and traumatologists have to keep such muscular variations in mind. So, the knowledge of the existence of its variation is important for anesthetists and surgeons.

Women is endowed with energy of procreation for which menarche is the first step. Menstrual cycle commences with this and ends with menopause and having normal menstruation depicts the wellbeing of female. In normal menstruation the duration of menstruation is about 4-5 days, and the amount of blood loss is estimated to be 20- 80ml with an average 35 ml. Due to pradirana(excessive excretion) of raja (menstrual blood), it is named as pradara/asrugdara. Asrugdara characterized by excessive prolonged menstrual or intermenstrual bleeding due to Pradirana (excessive excretion) of raja (Menstrual blood), it is named as Pradara and or Asrugdara. As heavy menstrual bleeding is a debilitating disorder, the woman requires rapid, safe and effective treatment. In ayurvedic classicc a variety of treatments in the management of asrugdarahas been described. Out of them, the subject is selected to compare efficacy of Jeerakavaleha mentioned by Yogratnakara, with effect of Yastimadhu choornamentioned by Bhavaprakasha which is already proved in the previous study. Jeerakavaleha has Gerbhashyashodhaka, stambhaka, raktapittahara property.

Nutrition is a crucial aspect of health and development. Healthy eating is related to improved immune systems, safer pregnancies, and births, a reduced chance of diseases that are not transmissible (such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease), as well as improved longevity. Nonetheless, today's way of life and food choices lead to poor health and nutritional issues such as obesity and diabetes. Millets, which have no impact on weight and have an abundance of nutrients, can be employed in such cases. Millets are a group of small-seeded grasses widely farmed as cereal grains for human and animal use worldwide. Most millets belong to the Poaceae or Gramineae family, which is a grass family. Millet is high in protein, fibre, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, potassium, and manganese, thus serving as a nutrient powerhouse. This article discusses millet and its significance in our daily lives. Some millet preparations are additionally clarified so that they might be included in our daily lives.

The human being is a tripod having three pillars, Satva (mind), Atma (soul) and Sharira (body). Here, Satva is a connecting link between Atma and Sharira, which is otherwise called Manas. It has an immense influence on the health and ill health of the individual. ‘Prasanna’ Manah is a sign of a healthy life. In Ayurvedic contexts, Chikitsa is classified into two parts based on resources (Vyapashraya Bheden): 1. Daivvyapashray Chikitsa 2. Yuktivyapashray Chikitsa. Daivvyapashray Chikitsa refers to Mantra, Ausadhi, Mani, Mangala, Bali, Upahara, Home, Niyam, Prayashchita, Upvasa, Swastyayanapatha, Pranipata, Gamana etc. Yuktivyapashrya Chikitsa refers to Samsodhana (Vamanadi) and Upshamana (Pachanadi). In another context, Acharya Charak and Acharya Vagbhat explained Trividham Ausdham as; 1. Daivvyapashray Chikitsa, 2. Yuktivyapashrya Chikitsa 3. Satvavajaya Chikitsa. Their Satvavajaya Chikitsa further explained, "Aiming to control the mind or is a method of restraining the mind from unwholesome objects.” Satvavajaya Chikitsa is that typical Ayurvedic approach that prevents the impaired Dhi, Dhriti and Smriti and brings them back to a normal state. Hence, it plays a significant role in maintaining a harmonious state between these three factors, ultimately leading to a happy and healthy state of the individual.

Understanding Mental Health plays a major role in a clinical setup which enables a clinician in arriving at proper diagnosis, planning suitable treatment, assessing the mental status of the patient during the treatment to decide the rate of recovery and analyze the true prognosis of the condition. The capacity to withstand adversity in life is different for each individual based on the kind of Sattva developed during pregnancy or nurtured during the lifetime. Sattva can be most accurately measured when an individual experiences a threat to life, as based on the Sattva Bala the road to recovery or perish gets decided. Therefore, to enhance the overall success rate of any intervention, an initial understanding of these individuals through Manasika Bhava assessment is essential. People categorised as Guruvyadhita showed more positive Manasika Bhava when compared to people categorised as Laghuvyadhita. Similarly, people categorised as Laghuvyadhita showed more of negative Manasika Bhava than the people categorised as Guruvyadhita. Better Sattva Guna is indicative of exhibiting better coping skills. A vital part of diagnosis, treatment, and understanding the prognosis of the patient is played by Sattva assessment and must be carried out as a routine protocol in a clinical set up.

Balyavastha (childhood) is a very valuable time in every individual’s life. Today’s children are tomorrow’s citizens. Knowledge or skills learned and experienced in younger period of their life which is considered as a key period for their growth, development and intelligence definitely will have an impact as a deciding factor in determining the success in their future life. In this highly competitive world, people live a very fast life, and every second is important and those who have good skills, psyche, intelligence perform faster or better than others. Every parent wants their child to be the best. Many a times scores like IQ categorize the children and decide their future. Many succeed, at least few lags behind especially those affected with Poor scholastic performance, Low IQ. A better understanding of the key Ayurveda concepts like Buddhi, Smriti, Medha, Manas and even Intelligence in modern perspective is found to be very much vital for excelling in every manner with good quality life. Medha is an entity of Buddhi and Buddhi manifests with a combination of Atma (soul) and Manas (mind). Buddhi is a specific phenomenon that motivates an individual to perform or work in a specific manner and after proper analysing, they reach conclusive knowledge. Smriti is a specific ability to recollect past knowledge or experiences. Medha is a type of intellect which has the power of retention of knowledge. Manas has a very essential role in our daily life. Intelligence is the maturity of motor, language, personal, social, and adaptive behavior. This paper highlights these basic concepts and how each one of them is connected to one another.

Urinary Tract Infection is the most common infection managed in general medical practice and accounts for 1-3% of consultations. Mutra (Urine) is one among the Trimala (Three waste products) and it plays a major role in Kledavahana (Transportation of sweat). Mutravega is one of the Adharaniya Vegas.

India is one of the developing countries and is highly influenced by the Western lifestyle, which has greatly affected the reproductive health of both male and female. Ayurveda considered as “Ayushaha Punyatamo Veda” describes 3 supporting pillars for healthy living known as the “Trayopastambha”. The 3 pillars include Ahara (Dietary regimens), Nidra (Sleep) and Brahmacharya- Jnanayukta Acharana (the righteous deeds). The intention of writing this article is to throw a light on the fact that the menstrual health is the key to prevent the major reproductive disorders including infertility. A survey study was conducted to establish the relationship between Trayopastambha (3 pillars of healthy living) and menstrual health. The data was found to prove that the impaired lifestyle impacts menstrual health. Hence, the role of customized lifestyle which a female can adopt in preventing various female reproductive system disorders are discussed in the article.

Maharishi Sushruta in Sharir sthan (Dhamani Vyakaran adhyay) described eleven types of srotas among which Artava Vaha Srotas is one. Artava Vaha Srotas are two; their mulas are Garbhashaya (uterus) and Artava Vahi Dhamani (artery carrying menstrual blood and other accessory materials). Injury to these leads to sterility, intolerance of copulation and loss of menstrual flow (amenorrhoea). According to Ayurvedic texts, Artava is also known as Pushpa, and Pushpa is of two types -first, the blood which is discharged from the vaginal tract every month, and second is the ovum which is released every month from the ovary and is called Antah Pushpa. According to Ayurveda, there are eight types of artava dushti vitiated by three Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), by Rakta Dosha (Kudapgandhi) separately, by their combination in two (Granthibhut Putipuya Artava- Kshin Artava) or all together (Mutrapurishgandhi). I have selected this topic to establish a correlative bridge between Ayurveda and Modern Medical Science in Artava vaha srotas and Artava dushti.

Ritu, the season, changes with time and potentially influences the earth’s biological systems and human health differently. Ayurveda has classified these seasons as per their effects, and to habituate to the seasonal variations, specific rules and regimens have been mentioned by the Acharyas. These changes in diet and practices help the body transition easily from one season to another. As the pediatric age group with comparatively less immunity is more susceptible to the changes in the season, to prevent this age group from falling prey to seasonal diseases, it is important to practice Ritucharya. India is a tropical country. Monsoons here are responsible for many health conditions among the pediatric age group, and various scientific studies are the basis for this. In this review article, the regimens in diet and lifestyle, as mentioned in Varsha Ritu, and its importance in preventing health conditions during the rainy season in the pediatric age group have been discussed.
