Ayurveda has principle of maintenance of health and curation of disease, for that purpose it has given the very beautiful explanation of Dinchariya and Rutuchariya to have a healthy life and Acharya Sushruta has given the important concept of ‘Shatkriyakala’ to understand the stages of disease and Doshaawastha to apply the correct treatment on correct time as treatment is changes according to stage of disease. Early di-agnosis of the stages of the disease will help to cure the disease more successfully with the planned man-agement. Shatkriyakala described by Sushruta gives an idea about the consecutive stages of the disease and accordingly preventive measures were described to overcome complication. For the control and prevention of the disease, guidelines like Dinchariya and Rutuchariya must be adopted. Along with these concepts, knowledge of Shatkriyakala plays an important role in prevention as well as management of the disease

In Ayurvedic compendia, the Twacha is explained as Updhatu of Mamsa Dhatu. We go through all aspect regarding Twacha in Ayurveda & try to correlate the concept of Twacha with modern concept of skin. In Ayurvedic compendia a skin is called as “Twacha”. Its reference comes as Updhatu of Mamsadhatu. The Ayurvedic point of view regarding Twacha, includes Nirukti, Synonyms, Formation, Layers, Updhatu, Moolastathna and Functional Aspect. Nirukti of Twack means the substance which act as cover. Synonyms for Twak are Charma, Valka etc. According to Sushrut Samhita Twak is formed during fetal life in growing embryo just like layers of cream forms on boiling milk. The skin is often classified as the largest organ of the body and it is one that all surgeons will operate on or through. It is therefore vital that the students un-derstand the layers of the skin and the structures that are found within these layers. The skin can be injured in a number of situations including burns and various diseases. It is important to understand how these in-juries can affect the physiological function of the skin. The present article deals with comparative study of functions of skin as per modern health science and Ayurvedic textual references.

The bark is used as the main part of Daruharidra that is used in its crude form as powder or decoction. According to reference of Ayurved Prakasha Samhita, the Goat milk is used in preparation of Rasanjan. The present study is an attempt to prepare Rasanjan and evaluate the quality control parameters by doing analytical study.

Globally corona virus 2 (SARS CoV 2) is a high a pandemic and highly contagious entire mankind is suf-fering. Tremendous research is currently going on and need of suitable approach for the best treatment. In Covid 19 outbreak, enhancing one own’s defence system (immunity) had played important role in main-taining best health. According to Ayurveda, without the vitiation of any of three Dosha, no disease can oc-cur, so paramount balance of three Dosha is required to maintain for good immunity against such deadly disease. Ayurved envisages the root of cause for any illnesses. Ayurveda is likely to provide evidence-based medicine for preventive health care and enhance the self-immunity As Ayurveda described several immunity booster procedures in Dincharya and Rutucharya. Many researchers perhaps the whole world is looking for an effective drug or safe and effective vaccine for covid-19 which should be cost effective, easily available. A better Prevention through Ayurveda approach can be achieved in this pandemic of covid-19 as immunity booster.

Mukhpak (Stomatitis) is most common disease of oral cavity and can occur anywhere in the mouth, includ-ing the inside of the cheeks, gums, lips, palate and tongue. It can disrupt a person's ability to talk, eat and sleep. This is an observational study on 65 Mukhpak (stomatitis) patients with complaints of redness, ulcer-ation in oral cavity, salivation, pain and burning sensation in mouth treated with 3 - 4 times local applica-tion of Tankan Bhasma with Madhu (Honey) up to 14th days. Study demonstrated that local application of Tankan Bhashma with honey is the so fast, simplest, economical and effective drug therapy in the man-agement of Mukhpak due to anti-inflammatory, analgesic as well as healing property of Tankan Bhasma and Madhu.

Obesity is a health disorder and increasing all over the world. Human beings are under threat from many chronic diseases and lifestyle disorders. A major cause of all these diseases was found to be improper life-style and stress leading to obesity and excessive lipid per oxidation indicating increased production of reac-tive oxygen species. It is also a cause for many non-communicable diseases. Yoga practice reduces the stress level which may improve the eating habits and help in weight reduction. Obesity is a growing public health concern in modern societies. Physical inactivity and unhealthy diet have been identified as major risk factors for obesity.

Pain is a subjective phenomenon for the assessor but a bothersome and disturbing symptom to many. Many therapies and medicaments to combat pain exist in various medical disciplines. Agnikarma one such prom-ising treatment methodology which manage musculoskeletal pain very effectively. Musculoskeletal pain shares the maximum percentage of pain presentations to outpatient departments. Panchadhatu Shalaka and Madhu (Honey) are the most common and accessible instruments used for Agnikarma. Clinicians wit-nessed positive results for managing pain in disorders like Low back ache, Sciatica etc. Cost effectiveness, OPD basis treatment and instantaneous pain relief are the optimistic outcomes of Agnikarma therapy.

The Grahani is the leading disorder of the digestive system. Due to various etiological factors of Grahani Roga, the Grahani becomes impaired as a result of Dusti or vitiation of Pachakagni and Saman Vayu. The Vaisamya at Saman Vayu causes the hyper motility of gut resulting in frequent evacuation of the bowel, which one large and hard or liquid. The principle of diet for all types of Grahani is boost the Agni and reduce the Ama with the help of Ahara Dravyas, which included mainly Kashaya, Madhura and Katu in Rasa; Laghu, Ruksha, Grahee, Deepana and Pachana in Guna; Ushna in Veerya and Katu or Madhura in Vipaka. The diet regime suggested by Ayurveda helps in stimulation of Agni, which supports the digestion of food of appropriate quality, taken in required quantity and in right time for cure of Grahani Roga or Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Medical data of a person is an extremely sensitive and valuable resource. If this data gets into the wrong hands, it can be misused in unimaginable ways. Any organization handling this sort of sensitive data is taking on an extremely huge responsibility. A patient should not have to worry about the safety of his data in the hands of a third-party organization. If he is given control of his sensitive data by eliminating the middle man, then handling such data would become a lot easier. This is where the concept of blockchain is introduced. The blockchain technology proves to be an excellent technology to safeguard such data. A blockchain application which connects multiple entities like hospitals, labs, patients and doctors proves to be the perfect solution to ensure that there is no tampering of data.

Gac fruit (Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng) is an exploitable perennial dioecious fruit found commonly in Southeast Asian countries (SA). Gac fruit has been traditionally used in folk medicine due to its high medicinal and nutritive value. Generally, the aril of the fruit is used as a red colourant for cuisines and supplement for healthier vision. Gac fruit is highly rich in lycopene and β- carotene, fatty acids, vitamin E, polyphenols like phenolic acids, flavonoids and trypsin inhibitors. These compounds are linked with many important bioactivities such as provitamin A, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiulcer and anticancer activities. This paper reviews the findings on nutritional properties, phytochemical composition and the biological activities of Gac fruit. The review has also briefly discussed the suitable conditions for the storage and utilisation of the fruit in food, beverage, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industries
