Background: Arogyavardhini Rasa is a well known Ayurvedic herbo-mineral formulation widely used for a broad spectrum of therapeutic indications mainly in the treatment of Kamala (jaundice) and other Yakrit Vikara (liver disorders). Aim: To standardized Arogyavardhini Rasa prepared with and without Rasavarga Dravya (ingredients of Metallo-mineral origin) by using high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) & computational by principal component analysis (PCA) as an analytical tool. Materials & Method: Arogyavardhani Rasa (AVR) was prepared as per classical reference and further modified this preparation by omitting Rasavarga dravya (ingredients of Metallo-mineral origin) of Arogyavardhani Rasa (MAVR). Formulations were investigated for physicho-chemical parameters, chromatography and using the building block of chemometrics technique such as PCA was applied to discriminate the formulations AVR and MAVR. Result & Discussion: HPTLC study revealed a total of 11 and 8 bands at 254 nm and 366 nm in both AVR & MAVR, with only two similar Rf values in the sample. PCA revealed that both formulations were found similarities & dissimilarities within a batch of AVR and MAVR with its physicho-chemical constant. Conclusion: The analytical tools applied (HPTLC and PCA) for the study revealed that the classical processing like Bhavana (Lavigation ), Mardana (Trituration) etc. had a significant role in the preparation of Rasaaushadhis (mercurial medicine) and process validate the Indian system of medicinal pharmaceutics.
背景:Arogyavardhini Rasa是一种著名的阿育吠陀草药矿物配方，广泛用于治疗各种适应症，主要用于治疗黄疸和其他肝脏疾病。目的:采用高效薄层色谱法(HPTLC)和主成分计算分析法(PCA)对加和不加金属矿源成分沙乌沙制备的沙乌沙进行标准化。材料与方法:根据经典参考文献制备Arogyavardhani Rasa (AVR)，并通过省略Arogyavardhani Rasa (MAVR)中的Rasavarga dravya(金属矿物来源的成分)对该制剂进行进一步修改。对配方进行了理化参数、色谱分析，并利用主成分分析法等化学计量学技术对AVR和MAVR进行了鉴别。结果与讨论:HPTLC研究显示AVR和MAVR在254 nm和366 nm处共有11个和8个波段，样品中只有两个相似的Rf值。主成分分析表明，两种配方在AVR和MAVR的理化常数上存在相似性和差异性。结论:采用HPTLC和PCA等分析工具，揭示了Bhavana (navigation)、Mardana (tritururation)等经典工艺在汞药Rasaaushadhis (mercurial medicine)的制备过程中具有重要作用，工艺验证了印度医药体系。

Today’s era hypothyroidism is one of the most common and challenging disease in our society. Thyroid is the second most prevailing disorder in daily OPD. In endocrine system thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone so it’s called Hypothyroidism. Levothyroxine is the most efficacious hormone replacement treatment and this thyroxin therapy starting from 25mcg/day for hypothyroidism. The female-male ratio is approximately 6:1. Ayurveda has not mentioned endocrine disorders, instead for treatment of unspecified syndromes, it emphasizes on careful observation of symptoms and pathophysiology. In Ayurveda it can be co-related with the actions of “AGNI”. The sign and symptoms of hypothyroidism are similar to those of Kapha vriddhi (increases in kapha), Rasa Dushti, Medas dushti, Medas dhatwagni mandya(slow metabolism at adipose tissue level), and Kapha Avaran janya Dhatwagni Mandya (slow metabolism due to blockage of kapha). In ayurvedic text there is no direct reference of hypothyroidism but Galganda and Gandamala frequently used in the text. According to Charaka a swelling that is caused when a vitiated kapha affects the throat from the outside, and gradually produces swelling, is called galagand. Galgand is explained classically in all the Ayurvedic texts, including Shushruta and Astang hruday, since Galgand is the most untouched topic in Ayurveda and since Hypothyroidism is becoming one of the common problems in day-to-day practice. By using modern medicine many side effects occurs but through ayurwedic drugs hypothyroidism can be managed easily. This article discusses efficacy of Kanchnar twak kwath with shunthi churna and nimb tail Nasya in Hypothyroidism.

In Ayurveda, Ageing is termed as ‘Jara’ for which some rules are given to make it healthy with longevity. This is the phase anticipatory care should be taken so that ageing process can be deferred and old age related diseases can be barred. Jara as natural prodigy of human body takes place in two ways i.e. Kalaja and Akalaja. Body gets affected from various factors like diet pattern, food particles, lifestyle, environment, etc. changes or degenerative changes are the nature of universe. These changes are known as Swabhaav in Ayurveda in which a constant decline may found in Shareera in old age. Ageing starts in different attributes at different period; thus, the ancient classics give a detailed version on the physiological, psychological and biological aspects of ageing including growth, puberty and senility.There are enough matter in relation to the establishment and termination of life which can be understood as theory as Theory of Innate Destruction (Swabhawoparamavada), Theory of Disturbance in Fundamental Principle of Body, Theory related to Kala (Time Factor), Theory Related to Environmental and other Biological Aspect. Jara management can be done via programming of lifestyle in such a way that Akalaj Jara can be avoided and Kalaj Jara can be delayed. For this purpose not only the Rasayana drugs but Ayurvediya Dinacharya, Ritucharya and other regimens in the way of ideal lifestyle is to be followed.

A serious discourse is built around the world for proper and better protection of traditional knowledge associated with intellectual property rights. Traditional knowledge was considered as a leftover subject in intellectual property governance since the IP has been a talk of the town. Nepal is rich in terms of traditional knowledge associated with indigenous communities largely used in the medical sectors or what we generally name with “ home-grown medicines”. There is a lack of proper protection and also incentives for these communities and researches have shown that there are also possibilities of conflict over ownership over such knowledge. The traditional knowledge will not only benefit particular stakeholders rather in an extended way, it creates values for the nation and ultimately a global asset in the intellectual property regime across the world. The IP Policy, Law, and Regulations need further incorporation of elements as the subject of traditional knowledge specifically used for medicinal purposes. This paper is based on a theoretical analysis of law, policies, rules, cases, and practices for the protection of traditional knowledge for medicinal in Nepal. This paper has further analyzed the position of existing umbrella clauses as seen in intellectual property laws for the said purpose.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common problems affecting approximately5% of all women. PCOS can affect menstrual cycle, fertility, and hormone level as well as appearance including acne, facial hair growth and balding, overweight. Some women may suffer from depression. It is also a metabolic problem that affects several body systems. The condition gets its name because there are often an increased number of small painless cysts in the ovaries (polycystic ovaries). It is very difficult to cure in contemporary system and treatment is also very costly. A case of 19 years female suffering from PCOS reported was treated successfully at at Ayurveda Teaching Hospital within 1 month by various ayurveda medicine and panchakarma procedures. The improvement is evident from regularity of menstrual cycle and also from the ultrasonography (USG) reports.

Grahani Roga is a common Gastro-intestinal Tract disorder of present era. In Ayurveda, Grahani is considered as the main functional part of Mahasrota which is located in between amashaya & pakwashaya, also known as the 6th kala i.e., Pittadhara Kala where jatharagni resides and its main function is to hold the ahara upto the end of avasthapaka & after completion passes it into pakvasaya. Symptoms like alternate passing of hard & loose stool, abdominal pain, passing of foul-smelling stool, mucus in faecal matter are diagnostic of Grahani Roga. In modern science, above mentioned symptoms can be correlated with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). In IBS, the wall of the intestine becomes sensitive to even mild stimulus which causes excess abdominal cramps & hence the bowel movement alters along with indigestion. In this case an effort has been made to treat 33 years male suffering from Grahani roga, at Ayurveda Teaching Hospital within 3 months by various ayurveda medicine and panchakarma procedures.

Bhaishajya Kalpana describes various types of dosage forms mainly prepared from herbal ingredients. The term Churna may be applied to the powder prepared by a single drug or a combination of more drugs. It may be considered as modified form of Kalka Kapana. For attaining better therapeutic results, it is advisable to powder all the drugs of formulation separately and then only they are supposed to be mixed together uniformly. It can be used as main medicament in the treatment of many diseases. It has both advantages and disadvantages. It can be used as Prakshepaka Dravya along with quantity & Sevana Vidhi. Hence, the prepared drug is to be stored in Air tight containers for packaging with maintaining quality parameters.

Background: Diarrhea caused by diarrheagenic E.coli are major health problem of developing countries including Nepal.Though precise data on childhood diarrhea by diarrheagenic E.coli in Nepal is not available. It has been estimated that approximately 25% of child death are associated with diarrhea.This study was thus carried out to evaluate the incidence of diarrhea by diarrheagenic E.coli in children under 5 years of age. The study was conducted at Kanti Children’s hospital (KCH), Maharajgunj. A total of 200 samples were enrolled between March 2018 to August 2018. Methods: All the diarrheal stool samples were cultured on Mac Conkey agar plate. After 24 hours of incubation at 37 degree celcius. If it produce Lactose Fermenting (LF) pink coloured colonies further confirmatory test was done by different biochemical test. Whether it was E. coli or not.If it was E.coli then further sub cultured on Mac Conkey Sorbitol (MSA) agar to isolate diarrheagenic E. coli. Next day if there seen Non Sorbitol Formenting (NSF) colonies, it was identified as diarrheagenic E. Coli. because most other E.coli strains and other Enterobacteria ferment sorbitol but diarrheagenic E.coli do not ferment Sorbitol and is non sorbitol fermenting colourless colonies. Results: Out of total enrolled cases, 20 (10%) were diarrheagenic E. coli. Gentamycin, Chloramphenicol and third generation Cephalosporin showed 100% efficacy against diarrheagenic E.coli . Conclusion: The incidence of disease was more prevalent in children below 2 years. Diarrheagenic E. coli were found to be a significant cause of diarrhea under 5 years of age. Awareness of improving hygiene reduce the episode of diarrhea.
