Introduction: The Ayurvedic Acharya, in the Samhita, highlighted the significance of the eye as a vital organ (Saravendranam Nayam Pradhanam). This study focuses on the Ayurvedic approach to ocular health, with an emphasis on the Kriyakalpa therapy for Netra Rogas, particularly the method of Putapaka. Methods: Acharya Sushruta advocated Putapaka as a key therapy for ocular conditions, integrating Tarpana and Putapaka Rasa in a unique manner. The method, described as considerably altered, is recommended for kapha dominant conditions but adaptable for vata and pitta imbalances. This article explores the Netra Putpaka Kriyakalpa, drawing insights from Ayurvedic texts for its detailed description. Results: Netra Putpaka emerges as a crucial therapeutic approach for eye diseases, emphasizing its efficacy in Ayurvedic ocular care. Despite being time-consuming and less commonly practiced by Shalakya professionals, its importance in treating various ocular conditions is underscored. Discussion: This article aims to bridge the gap between traditional Ayurvedic knowledge and contemporary scientific understanding. By sharing efficient methods for preparing Putapaka Rasa, the study emphasizes the relevance of Netra Putpaka in ocular treatment, providing valuable insights for the wider scientific community. Conclusion: Netra Putpaka Kriyakalpa stands out as a valuable Ayurvedic therapeutic modality for diverse eye conditions. This exploration contributes to the integration of traditional Ayurvedic practices into modern healthcare, promoting a holistic approach to ocular health.

Background: Cancer is a growing problem worldwide, and new strategies for its management and treatment are required. The immune system plays a crucial role in cancer progression and the response to treatment. Recent studies have demonstrated that practicing yoga can positively affect the immune system. This review aimed to examine the impact of yoga on immune parameters in patients with cancer. Methods: We conducted literature searches across several scientific databases for trials published from 2014 to 2023. Studies were selected based on specific criteria, including randomized controlled trials involving yoga interventions with quantitative outcome assessments. Results: Eight studies met our inclusion criteria. These findings suggest that practicing yoga can significantly improve immune function in patients with cancer. Key findings include reductions in inflammatory cytokines, improvements in natural killer cell counts, and modulated gene expression related to immune cell survival. Specific studies have demonstrated benefits in reducing stress and fatigue, enhancing overall quality of life (QoL), and immunological benefits. Conclusion: This review indicates that yoga interventions hold substantial promise in enhancing immune function and overall QoL in patients with cancer.

Background: Children’s eczema, often called atopic dermatitis, starts before age 5 and lasts a lifetime. From dry, itchy skin to painful rashes, it disrupts sleep and daily life. Vicharchika, a skin condition similar to Ayurveda, connects with atopic dermatitis based on its causes, symptoms, and overall presentation. Materials and Methods: A boy, aged 4 years old, complained of skin lesions over bilateral lower limbs associated with roughness, scaling, and severe itching all over the body for 6 months. The case was diagnosed as Vicharchika (an Ayurvedic diagnosis for atopic dermatitis). Ayurvedic remedies were used to treat the patient for 2 months. Clinical symptoms and ImageJ software analysis of photographs of the lesions assessed the disease severity. Results: The treatments given were successful in reducing the symptoms. This case study demonstrates the efficacy of Ayurvedic treatment for atopic dermatitis. Conclusions: The study concluded that Ayurvedic therapy was significantly effective in treating atopic dermatitis.

Background: Substance use disorder (SUD) is a condition in which there is uncontrolled use of a substance despite harmful consequences. Multiple Substance Use Disorders (MSU) include two or more substances taken together or within a short time period, either intentionally or unintentionally. This may lead to problems such as health issues, disability, failure to meet work responsibilities, and difficulties at school and home. Studies have concluded that opiates, cannabis, amphetamines, hallucinogens, inhalants, and benzodiazepines are often used in combination as well. This leads to social, academic, and occupational impairment, along with possible negative health effects. Individuals who abuse one substance are more likely to use other substances as well. Among those aged 12 or older, 61.2 million people (i.e., 21.9% of the population) used illicit drugs in the past year. Objective: To highlight the Ayurvedic clinical perspective in the management of multiple SUDs. Method: In Ayurveda, SUD may be approached by adapting the management principles of madatyaya after assessing the dosha combination as per the clinical presentation. Several combinations useful for the management of the condition, including addiction and withdrawal management, are explained. Ashtanga Lavana, Ajmodarka, Sreekandasava, and Drakshadi Kwatha are some of the medicines used internally to reduce withdrawal symptoms. Panchakarma therapies, along with yoga and Satvavajaya Chikitsa, including family therapy, have a very good outcome in managing substance withdrawal, dependence, and even inpreventing relapse. Results: By adopting the Ayurvedic principles, the outcome of MSU management may be enhanced, and the relapse may also be possible to reduced with the biopsychosocial approach. Conclusion: Evidence-based clinical studies are the need of the hour so as to prove the authenticity of such a clinical perspective explained in Ayurvedic parlance.

In the Sharira, Vata is seen as the controller of all things. Vatavyadhi is the term for the influence of vitiated vata on the Dusyas, which permeate the whole body or a portion of it and give rise to various sorts of illness. One of the significant illnesses that fits this description is pakshaghata, also referred to as hemiplegia. One Vataj Nanatmaja Vyadhi who is regarded as a Mahavatavyadhi is Pakshaghata. There is a correlation between pakshaghata and hemiplegia, a condition caused by a cerebrovascular accident or stroke. Hemiplegia, which results in both mental and physical instability. In the world’s population, there are around 9 instances per 1000 people. A stroke is described as an abrupt onset of vascular mechanism-related neurologic impairment. 15% are initial hemorrhages, and 85% are ischemic. The World Health Organization estimates that 15 million stroke victims globally experience a stroke each year, of whom 5 million die and another 5 million become permanently incapacitated. According to current scientific theory, brain injuries that are too severe for treatment to reverse can result in lifelong neurological impairment. As a result, the prognosis for the illness is dismal, leaving the crippled individual dependent. The current research aims to provide baseline data for student physicians to cope with this terrible condition by identifying the etiopathogenesis, clinical aspects, and therapy of the disease from Ayurvedic classics.

Background: Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that can lead to unpredictable hair loss. Alopecia areata is a common autoimmune disorder that often results in unpredictable hair loss. In most cases, hair falls out in small patches around the size of a quarter. There may be only a few patches, but alopecia areata can affect wider areas of the scalp. In Ayurveda texts, a similar condition is mentioned in Kshudrarogas known as Indralupta. Aims: This study sets out to evaluate the effectiveness of Shamana Aoushadhi and Jalaukavacharana in curing Alopecia areata. Materials and Methods: It is a single-case study of a 24-year-old female patient with a complaint of asymptomatic loss of hair at a single site over the scalp with itching and dandruff for 1.5 years. This case of Alopecia areata (Indralupta) was successfully treated with seven sittings of Jalaukavacharana (leech therapy) and Ayurveda medication. Result: The patch was immensely filled with lustrous black hairs at the end of the follow-up period. Conclusion: Thus, it can be said that Jaloukavacharana and Shamana Aushadh, two Ayurvedic treatments, offer a favorable outcome for Indralupta patients.

Introduction: With the recent rise in awareness in increased understanding of the importance of physical activity in promoting overall health, greater emphasis has been placed on improving physical fitness to enhance quality of life. Asian Indians have been practicing Surya Namaskar, a part of Hatha Yoga, for hundreds of years. It is frequently employed in place of a typical workout regimen. It entails a series of asanas that are performed 12 times per cycle. Although Surya Namaskar was neither considered an asana nor a part of classical Yoga, it is now regarded as a component of current yogic practices. Before starting daily tasks, performing Surya Namaskar energizes the practitioner and gives them a fully charged day. The knowledge of energy cost and physiological responses of practicing Surya Namaskar is important and forms the basis for the recommendation of regular practice as part of any training. Based on available research, we emphasize the significance of Surya Namaskar in this review by stressing its impacts on the physiological components of the body. Methods: Different Ayurveda classics, modern classics, research papers, and journals were referred to fulfill this part. Results: With the help of research references, the evaluation outlines the practice’s physical advantages in terms of improving joint mobility, extending muscle power, and promoting vitality.

Introduction: Ayurveda has mentioned many Kalpanas, one among them is Paniya Kalpana (medicated drinking water). It comes under Upakalapana (derivative) of Kwatha (process of medicated liquid). It is regarded as the most beneficial and potent because it is very easy to digest and readily absorbed by our bodies. Dosha (one which governs and maintains the health), Dhatu (fundamental tissues that constitute the human body), and Mala (metabolic end products) are the components of Sharira (human body), which is governed by Agni (digestive fire). In a healthy state, Sharira (human body) maintains regular physiological functioning; when it is impaired, Sharira (human body) results in various ailments. Shadangapaniya is a special formulation that controls all the aforementioned aspects. Six herbs, including Musta, Parpataka, Ushira, Chandana, Udichya, and Nagara, make up the Shadangapaniya. Materials and methods: The classic Ayurveda literature, including the Charaka Samhita, Sushrutha Samhita, Ashtanga Hridaya, and Bhavprakasha Niganthu books of Dravyaguna Vignana, and other Nighantus. Result and Discussion: Shadangapaniya not only acts on Jwara (fever) but also is useful in various conditions and as well as on various systems. For example, we can give in Rakthapitta (bleeding conditions), Atisara (diarrhea and dysentery), Ati sweda (excessive perspiration), and Trishna (thirst), which will be discussed with references from classical textbooks. Conclusion: Maintaining the equilibrium state of Dosha (one which governs and maintains the health), Dhatu (fundamental tissues that constitute the human body) Mala (metabolic end products), and Agni (digestive fire) is the fundamental goal of all Ayurvedic treatments for ailments. Shadanga Paniya (medicated drinking water made up of six herbs) is a distinctive and popular recipe that preserves the above-mentioned state of equilibrium.

Conclusion: Maintaining the equilibrium state of Dosha (one which governs and maintains the health), Dhatu (fundamental tissues that constitute the human body) Mala (metabolic end products), and Agni (digestive fire) is the fundamental goal of all Ayurvedic treatments for ailments. Shadanga Paniya (medicated drinking water made up of six herbs) is a distinctive and popular recipe that preserves the above-mentioned state of equilibrium.","PeriodicalId":431628,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal of Ayurveda & Yoga","volume":"299 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140473461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sleep is an essential phenomenon for the maintenance and restoration of both body and mind, and thus, Nidra is a precious gift by nature, which is directly connected with the mental state. Keeping in view the importance of sleep, the present work aimed at comparing the efficacy of Jatamansi churna versus Nirgundi taila padabhyanga with respect to Nidranasha. Materials and Methods: 40 numbers of patients were taken for the study and all patients were divided into two equal groups, i.e., Group A and Group B. Group A consisted of 20 patients were treated with Jatamansi Churna internally for 15 days. Group B consisted of 20 patients were treated with Jatamansi Churna internally and Nirgundi taila Padabhyanga for 15 days. A comparison was done between Group A and Group B and the assessment was made before and after treatment. Results: The better result was obtained in Group B in reducing the subjective and objective parameters of Nidranasha than Group A. Conclusion: It can be said that, internal application of it can be said that, internal application of Jatamansi Churna along with Nirgundi Tila Padabhyanga could be the effective tools for the management of Nidranasha along with Nirgundi Tila Padabhyanga could be the effective tools for management of Nidranasha.
背景介绍阿育吠陀认为，生命有三大支柱，即 "阿哈拉"（Ahara）、"睡眠"（Nidra）和 "梵行"（Brahmacharya），其中，阿育吠陀更重视 "睡眠"（Nidra）。睡眠是维持和恢复身心的基本现象，因此，Nidra 是大自然赐予的珍贵礼物，与精神状态直接相关。鉴于睡眠的重要性，本研究旨在比较 Jatamansi churna 和 Nirgundi taila padabhyanga 对 Nidranasha 的疗效。材料和方法：本研究选取了 40 名患者，并将所有患者分为两个相同的组，即 A 组和 B 组。A 组由 20 名患者组成，内服 Jatamansi Churna 15 天。B 组 20 名患者接受内服 Jatamansi Churna 和 Nirgundi taila Padabhyanga 治疗 15 天。对 A 组和 B 组进行比较，并在治疗前后进行评估。结果：与 A 组相比，B 组在降低 Nidranasha 的主观和客观参数方面取得了更好的效果：可以说，内服 Jatamansi Churna 和 Nirgundi Tila Padabhyanga 是治疗 Nidranasha 的有效工具。
