Stroke is a common medical emergency and is the second leading cause of death worldwide. In Ayurveda stroke is described as Pakshaghata. The present study is a case report on management of stroke of a male patient aged 65 years with chief complaints of loss of function of the right upper & lower limb. He was a diagnosed case of stroke on the basis of clinical presentation and brain computed tomography-scan. The case treated with the Ayurveda medications was found to be effective in providing relief in chief com-plaints with improvement of overall health of the patient. Treatment protocol was Snehana, Swedana, Mriduvirechana, Basti karma, Shirodhara, Nasya along with internal medications. Before treatment NIH-Stroke Scale was 16 & Barthel index scale was 12 and after the treatment NIH-Stroke Scale was 4 & Barthel index scale was 70 providing symptomatic relief too. This reveals that Ayurveda treatment modali-ties can play a significant role in treatment of Stroke (Pakshaghata).

Today’s modern era life style is famous for its unhealthy lifestyle, improper sleep pattern, stressful life and so on, the reasons are uncountable so as the diseases, creating a high profile lifestyle with significant nega-tive shift in health status which creates even more serious reasons to combat the pathology behind. Ayurve-da is an age old time-tested system of traditional medicine that comes with even more deep rooted three fold fundamental approach Nidan Parivarjana (avoidance of causative factors), Shodhan (biocleansing treatment modality) and Shaman (palliative treatment). Shodhan mainly comes under the broader terminol-ogy Panchakarma, may seem quite simple in its application yet creates effects that are powerful and long-lasting, very famous for its approach for various ailments, especially chronic disorders. As the name sug-gests Panchakarma comprises five therapeutic procedures namely Vamana, Virechana, Nasya, Basti and Raktamokshana. It acts as a bio servicing mechanism for the human body just like the regular servicing of the transport vehicle. In the present piece of work, Vaman Karma has been described w.s.r. to its im-portance as a therapeutic regime to eliminate toxins, acting as a biopurificatory technique to maintain and obtain health; and to remove ailments, a concept of prevention over intervention. Some concepts like mode of action, importance of Shodhanarth Sneh, etc; has also been discussed deeply to understand the working action behind them.

Ayurveda considers Jaundice (Kamala) as a disorder of Raktavahasrotas. Vitiated Pitta is the main causa-tive factor in the pathogenesis of Kamala. In Ayurveda, Kamala is a next step of Pandu (anaemia). Ac-cording to Acharya Charaka, Kamala is mainly caused due to frequently consumption of Ushna (hot), Tik-shna (spicy) food i.e. Pittaprakopak Ahara (increasing level of Pitta). Due to these factors vitiation of Pitta (bile), Rakta (blood) and Mamsa (muscles) Dhatu will occur. Kamala is clinically correlated with jaundice due to its similarity of symptoms like yellowish of skin (Twak pitata), sclera (Netra), urine (Mutra), stool (Purisha) etc. In Kamala Vyadhi all Acharyas in Ayurveda texts has explained about Virechana Karma. Modern science has its own limitations in treating Kamala Vyadhi (jaundice) but Ayurvedic literature clearly explained pathology and treatment of Kamala Vyadhi which shows the specificity of Ayurveda. Ayurvedic line of management i.e., Virechana therapy and Shamana Chikitsa are successful in Kamala by removing toxic waste from the body and by correction of Agni (digestive fire).

Amavata is a clinical condition described in Ayurveda that closely resembles with the clinical features of Rheumatoid Arthritis. A Clinical Study was conducted at IPGT and RA, Jamnagar in Kaya Chikitsa de-partment to evaluate the efficacy of Virechan Karma with Eranda Taila and Trivrita Kwatha in patients suffering from Amavata and compared with the trial drug Kansa Haritaki described in Charak Samhita. Efficacy of both of these was compared with the known common drug Trayodashanga Guggulu. In this study, 38 patients of Amavata were registered, of which 29 patients completed the course of the treatment and 9 patients discontinued before completion of course against medical advice. The disease was diag-nosed on the basis of signs and symptoms as described in Ayurvedic and Modern text, aided by American Rheumatism Association Criteria (1988). RA factor test was done in all the patients. The Routine Blood examination (CBC, ESR) with Serum Uric acid, Urine and Stool examination was done to rule out other pathological conditions.

Brihattrayi (Greater triad) is one of the widely used and highly believed referral sources for Ayurvedic knowledge which includes three important treatises of Ayurveda which are Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridya. In Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita there is no clear cut description of Sweta musali. The Term Musali has been used for the first time in Ashtanga Hridya, which has been indicated for local application in Neelika (Blue moles) and Vyanga (Facial melanosis) as Complexion pro-moting. In Nighantu period the references for Sweta musali has been found at many places. This article reviews the description of Musali, various formulations, therapeutic indications, and the diverse mention of Sweta musali in Brihattrayi and Nighantu.

Ayurveda considers food to be the best source of nourishment as well as medication for the pregnant wom-an. The nine monthly diets are singularly unique to Ayurveda. It changes in accordance with the growth of the fetus in the womb and at the same time ensures health of the mother. The woman is considered as one of the most essential factors for the continuity of the human race. During Garbhavastha, she experiences lots of anatomical as well as physiological changes at the level of Dosha, Dhatu and Mala. These changes are nothing but maternal adaptation to the increasing demand of the growing fetus. The Growth and devel-opment of fetus requires more nutrition from mother. This causes increased workload on the maternal Dhatus, so she needs extra nutrition during Garbhavastha. Ayurveda has suggested a very good protocol Masanumasik Garbhini Paricharya i.e. Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), Vichara (psychological aspect) to be followed during pregnancy with respect to each month. This article describes an Ayurveda perspective of Ahara Vihar W.S.R to Masanumasik Garbini Paricharya.

Ayurveda is a science of body, mind and soul and it has recognized Nidra as one of the most important dimensions of health associated with happiness and good health. Happiness and good health are an out-come of a relaxed state of mind. Ayurvedic classics have given special emphasis on three important as-pects Ahara, Nidra and Brahmacharya and health of every individual depends on it1. These three aspects are called as Trayopasthamba or three sub pillars of life. Just as the pillars support a dwelling similarly the Trayopasthamba support our body. Sleep and wellbeing go hand in hand and getting a good night sleep is important for overall health. The available literatures in Ayurveda have survived against the adversity of time, and there is a need of more evidence-based research for its global acceptance. A major hurdle faced by young researchers in the research process, is the lack of adequate tools, to assess the unique and basic concepts of Ayurveda, So the need of the hour is development of valid and reliable tools. This article is an attempt to emphasize the significance of the Test retest reliability method, which was administered in the development of tool to assess the quality of Nidra.
