Background: Since the beginning of time, humanity has experienced severe natural disasters on occasion. At the end of 2019, a novel coronavirus identified as 2019-nCoV; and later known as SARS CoV 2 was emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan, in the province of Hubei. The world faced global health emergency because of no any definitive treatment of COVID-19 in any healthcare systems of the world. In this health crisis, academic knowledge holders of traditional medical healing practices in the global specially in Africa and Asia; prepared preventive, promotive and post recovery guidelines; and curative management protocol and endorsed by authorities of respective countries. Materials and Methods: The online published guidelines and literatures regarding COVID 19 were searched on google scholar, PubMed, Scopus, DOAJ, ScienceDirect, Henari, Web of Science using key words such as COVID 19, guidelines, management protocol, Traditional Medicines, Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Yoga, Sidhha, Unani, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAM). The websites of Ministry of Health and their health departments of the countries used traditional medicines for prevention and control of COVID 19. The literatures or guidelines mentioning immune enhancer, single drugs, prevention, diagnosis and treatment; and polyherbal formulations were entertained for analysis and presentation in this review. Results and Discussion: These guidelines emphasize the importance of identifying best practice to manage COVID 19 applying appropriate and rigorous evidences from classical literatures as well as scientific publications on the procedures and medication of the literatures in recent era. Conclusions: The guidelines of traditional medicines for COVID-19 were found to be safe and effective to mitigate and control spread of Corona virus; and recommended medications were also effective in symptomatic relief from the infection.

Background: Community health diagnosis is a continuous process which address the health challenges and needs of a particular community. The health needs of a community are ever changing process which evaluates the success of implementation of any health program as well as the development of the community. The public health is affected by the knowledge and practices of multiple factors like maternal and child health care, family welfare, personal hygiene and sanitation and available health infrastructure and services. These factors indicated the health status of the community. In our knowledge, there might be gap in delivering public health to the community. Hence, the study conducted to assess the different community health parameters of the selected area which included demographic data, maternal and child health, family welfare, daily activities (dinacharya), personal hygiene and sanitation, awareness of COVID-19 and vaccination and health institutions and facilities. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted by face-to-face interview among the 229 household of ward 2 and 8 of Chandrapur Municipality, Rautahat district, Madhesh Province of Nepal, using semi-structured questionnaire with inclusion of community health parameters. The convenient sampling method was used for the study. Verbal informed consent was taken from the respondent as well as the local administrative office before commencing the study. The data was collected in the month of May, 2023. Results and Conclusion: The result showed that the community health status of the study area was satisfactory but still there is huge gap between the needs, services and their utilization. Although maximum children are vaccinated according to EPI, unvaccinated children were also significantly present; whereas, though most of the people used latrine for defecation, open defecation still persisted and some resident still used mud/earth or ash or only water for hand washing. Similarly, in other health related behavior there persisted the unhealthy practices. Conclusion: The various related stakeholder of the community should work efficiently to mitigate the gap between health problems and needs in the community. The health program should be specially planned, implemented and analyzed in the deprived and marginalized area of the society to address the disparity in the social, economic and health needs.

Ayurveda is one of the ancient sciences. Inspite of Being ancient, it explains about all the aspects of health i.e., preventive, promotive and curative. Ayurveda also explains about communicable and non-communicable diseases in detail. In today’s context, due to change in environmental context, increased pollution, stressful life, human beings are being suffered from so many non-communicable diseases. Ayurveda explains dinacharya for the maintenance of health in all these conditions. For the control of lifestyle disoreders, other different topics like- ratricharya, achar rasayana, sadvritta, dharaneeya and adharaneeyavegaetc are explained in detail. Here dinacharya is explained in impact of lifestyle disorders because first of all our day-to-day activities should be brought into action. Concept of dinacharya is to keep tridosha in balance which is the cause of every disease in body.

Background: Amarogentin is a major chemical constituent of bitter principle found in Swertia chirayita (Roxb.ex Fleming) Karsten; family Gentianaceae. Chirata is an endangered species because of it’s over exploitation for pharmaceutical industries. These species are mainly found in the Himalayas and used for gastritis, diabetes, jaundice, urinary disorders, liver disorders, etc. The bitter principle as a main indicator of the medical herb, Nowadays, other species of Swertia are substituted and traded by the name of Chirata. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to estimate Amarogentin and to standardize Chirata samples collected from different markets of Nepal in 2013 A.D. Method and Materials: Different market samples of the species were analyzed for foreign matter, moisture content, extractive values; and bitter principles i.e. Amarogentin by using UFLC at Pacific Analytical Laboratory and Training Center, Lalitpur, Nepal. Result: The findings revealed that foreign matter, moisture content, extractive values; and bitter principles i.e. Amarogentin content varied with different market samples. Methonolic extraction yielded higher percentage of extracts than that of chloroform extraction. Samples including more root and stem, in general, contained higher Amarogentin than samples containing more leaves. The samples containing higher moisture content were lesser in Amarogentin content. The finding of Amarogentin of sample collected from Charikot, Dolkha was 3mg/100gm.Conclusion: In this study, the findings suggest that sample collected from local market of Charikot, Dolkha district was Swertia chirayita and was the best quality.

Diabetes mellitus is a major health issue in today's world. Main threat is not the disease itself but its complications like nephropathy, retinopathy and neuropathy etc. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is one of the earliest complications which has the highest prevalence of about 40-50% and is becoming the leading cause of hospital stay among diabetic mallitus and also the leading cause of foot ulcers, their complications like limb amputation and cost associated with it. Madhumeha which has been described as 'Maharogas' i.e. difficult to treat disease has many similarities with Diabetes mellitus can be understood and studied as same disease. Ayurveda has mentioned the causes, pathophysiology and symptoms of DPN as 'karapada daha -suptata' in purvarupa lakshanas and upadrava lakshanas but in scattered form. Applying the ayurveda principals in diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus and its complications like DPN can considerably reduce the chance of foot ulcers, and its consequences. But it needs depth study to understand the concept of DPN so as to form an effective management protocal.
糖尿病是当今世界的一个主要健康问题。主要威胁不是疾病本身,而是其并发症,如肾病、视网膜病变和神经病变等。糖尿病周围神经病变是最早的并发症之一,患病率最高,约为40-50%,是糖尿病患者住院的主要原因,也是足部溃疡的主要原因,其并发症如截肢和相关费用。Madhumeha被描述为“Maharogas”,即难以治疗的疾病,与糖尿病有许多相似之处,可以作为同一种疾病来理解和研究。阿育吠陀提到了DPN的原因、病理生理和症状,在purvarupa lakshanas和upadrava lakshanas中是“karapada daha -suptata”,但形式分散。将阿育吠陀原理应用于糖尿病及其并发症(如DPN)的诊断和管理可以大大减少足部溃疡的机会及其后果。但要理解DPN的概念,形成有效的管理协议,还需要深入研究。

Ayurveda has bestowed positive and comprehensive healthcare to mankind since very early times. Several classical litterateurs were created since ancient times, these all are available as a source of knowledge of Ayurveda in the present scenario. Among that classical works of literature, Lolimbariija's 'Vaidyajivana' is a significant work from both a medical and literary aspect. Because of his fundamentalism, brevity, and precision in medical therapy as well as poetic merit, he has placed a higher value on uncomplicated treatments. Vajikarana is often mentioned with synonyms like Vrishya and sukrala and is defined as a procedure or drug which enhances the vigor and vitality of males. Sushruta has given the comprehensive definition by quoting 'Vajikaran tantra' as the science which deals with the treatment or management of Alpa (less), Dusta (diseased), Kshina (less potent), Vishuska (dry) Retas (semen), and also increase pleasure during sex. Vaidyajivana has documented easily accessible and very effective formulations for various ailments. In the 5th chapter of Vaidyajivana, various Vajikara herbs are mentioned for the treatment of male sexual disorders, which are easily available and very practical. Therefore, the need of the hour is critically reviewing these Vajikara herbal drugs which act on recent aphrodisiac and seminal parameters for validating and improving practice.

Background Anorectal disorders including Fissure in Ano, Fistula in Ano and hemorrhoids are among the most common digestive complications. To our knowledge there is no any retrospective study of previous medical record data of Ayurveda Campus and Teaching Hospital (ACTH), Institute of Medicine, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal available on the prevalence of major anorectal problems. Therefore, this retrospective was carried out to analyze the medical record of Shalya department OPD in fiscal year 2011-12 A.D. to estimate the prevalence of anorectal problems among the patients of anorectal complaints. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted from January 2020 to December 2020 A.D. All the patients visiting the Department with anorectal complaints were screened. Name, sex, age, address and diagnosis was entered into Microsoft excel 2016 from registers of medical record; and analyzed in SPSS Version 2021 after coding the variables in excel. The findings were presented with percentage and frequency in pie and bar diagram. Results: Overall, anorectal cases (n=1067) were enrolled and analyzed in the study. The findings of major anorectal diseases like Fissure in Ano, Fistula in Ano and Hemorrhoids were commonly found in age group of 21-30 year; and followed by 31-40 year and 41-50 year. Fistula in Ano was also significantly found in the old age group of 61-70 year. Furthermore, the prevalence of Fissure in Ano, Fistula in Ano, Internal and External Hemorrhoids were 20%, 32%, 31.2% and 12% among ano-rectal problems in this hospital during this fiscal year respectively. Conclusion: Anorectal diseases are one of the common diseases observed in adolescent and adult patients which is more common in male than female. The prevalence of hemorrhoids is higher among Fissure in Ano and Fistula in Ano. Ksharasutra is the most effective procedure for treatment of these anorectal diseases.
肛肠疾病包括肛裂、肛瘘和痔疮是最常见的消化道并发症。据我们所知,没有对尼泊尔加德满都基尔蒂普尔特里布万大学医学研究所阿育吠陀校区和教学医院(ACTH)以前的医疗记录数据进行回顾性研究,以了解主要肛肠问题的患病率。因此,本研究回顾性分析2011- 2012会计年度沙利亚科OPD的病历,以估计肛肠疾患患者中肛肠问题的发生率。材料与方法:本研究于2020年1月至2020年12月进行回顾性研究,对所有以肛肠疾患就诊的患者进行筛查。病历登记簿将姓名、性别、年龄、地址、诊断结果录入Microsoft excel 2016;在excel中对变量进行编码后,在SPSS Version 2021中进行分析。结果以饼状图和条形图的百分比和频率表示。结果:总体而言,纳入并分析了1067例肛肠病例。肛肠裂、肛瘘、痔疮等主要肛肠疾病以21 ~ 30岁年龄组最为常见;接着是31-40岁和41-50岁。瘘管在61 ~ 70岁的老年人中也有显著的发现。此外,在本财政年度,该医院肛肠问题中肛裂、肛瘘、内痔和外痔的患病率分别为20%、32%、31.2%和12%。结论:肛肠疾病是青少年和成人患者的常见病之一,男性多于女性。肛裂和肛瘘的痔疮患病率较高。Ksharasutra是治疗这些肛肠疾病最有效的方法。

ABSTRACT Basti Karma is the most widely used and highly effective treatment modality in Panchakarma. Though Basti is specially indicated for Vatika diseases but it is mentioned in vitiation of all the Vata, Pitta, Kapha, Rakta Doshika disorders. Correctly given Basti will stay in the Pakawashaya, Shroni, Nabhi and Adhobhaga. Basti Dravya will reach the entire Srotasa, in view of its Veerya and produces alleviating action Shamanadi karmas. References regarding Basti Karmuktwa were collected from various classical and Ayurveda published works, published research papers from Pub Med, Google Scholar and compilation was done. Concept of Pharmacodynamics of Basti was studied in detail. Basti is most often recommended practice in Vata Roga Chikitsa. Most of the previous studies have emphasized on the importance of Basti in Vata vyadhis; however there were limited studies carried out on pharmacodynamics of Basti only. Pharmacodynamics outcome of Basti Karma may be due to functioning of the one or more effect of different mechanism.

Continuous and right development means such achievements, which cares for the needs of the present as well as the needs of the future. Good health is an essential requirement in past, present, and future periods. Development is considered an achievement only when it is fully grown. This process started with Ayurveda, after the rise of development from Homeopathy and Siddha after independence, along with Unani and Yoga, today is providing health benefits in the field of health in the name of Ayush treatment system. As integrated medical system, patients should get complete all-round health benefits at one place; this is the aim of Ayush treatment system. Post independent India, saw the ‘Ayush’ system grow at a faster pace as a result, considerable infrastructure of health care is available in public, private and voluntary sectors. Policy support to the Indian system of Medicine and Homoeopathy has been there since independence in 1947. The objectives of the strategies outlined in the policy include expansion of health care through Ayush, mainstreaming of Ayush facilities, quality control and standardization of Ayush drugs, education research and development relevant to emerging health needs, and awareness generation about the potentials and strengths of Ayush system.
