Due to advent of commercialization longer shelf-life becomes the need of the hour for various pharmaceutical products, especially for the preparation of Kwatha Kalpana (Decoction). The shelf-life of Kwatha is 1 Prahara (3 hours). According to Acharya Sharangadhara it is considered as Sadhyo-sevana. Panchavidha Kashaya Kalpana are considered as basic pharmaceutical preparation and the most important form of Kalpana. But the preparation of Kwatha is not possible all the times as the shelf life of Kwatha is short and makes it impossible to market it as soon as it is prepared. Therefore, there is need to find different ways to preserve the Kwatha for longer duration for their easier usage and transportation. This present study is carried out mainly in 3 stages, that is, pharmaceutical study, analytical study and microbiological study. In pharmaceutical study, the preparation of Baladi Kwatha was carried out as per the classical reference of Shamana Kashaya and they were added with different ratios of preservatives (SB-0.1%, SB-0.2%, SB-0.2% + MP-0.05% + PP-0.05%, SB-0.48% + MP-0.1% + PP-0.1%). No much changes were noted in analytical studies. Preservatives like, sodium benzoate, in permitted amounts could only preserve acidic Kwatha for a shorter period. Hence, marketing Baladi Kwatha with sodium benzoate cannot be properly stabilized by 0.1% & was observed that at least 0.2% is required to preserve the Kwatha for 60 days free from microbial contamination. It was observed that as per the permissible limit, the preservatives when used in combination of sodium benzoate 0.2%, methyl paraben 0.05%, propyl paraben 0.05%, has passed the shelf-life for 3 months.

Introduction: Infertility is presently a leading and longstanding gynaecological issue affecting approximately 15% of the couples in reproductive age group around the globe while 10-15% in Indian population. Ovulatory dysfunctions form the major cause of female infertility, out of which Anovulation accounts for 40%. Anovulation can be interpreted as Abeejotsarga or Abeejata. Panchakarma plays an important role in the management of Infertility. Thus, the present study aimed at evaluating the ovulation inducing effect of Jeevantyadi Yamaka through Matra Basti and Uttara Basti. Methodology: The study was conducted on 40 female subjects, diagnosed of anovulation with either primary or secondary infertility, fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly allocated into two groups with 20 subjects in each. But only 33 patients completed the trial with 18 patients in Group A and 15 patients in Group B. Group A received Jeevantyadi Yamaka Matra Basti while Group B were administered with Jeevantyadi Yamaka Uttara Basti for a period of three menstrual cycles. The assessment of results was done by follicular study conducted from 9th day of menstrual cycle till 20th day of every cycle for consecutive three cycles. Results: Both the groups showed significant improvement in assessment parameters. Although the number of patients were less in Group B than Group A but Ovulation was observed in 5.5% of subjects in Group A and 40% of subjects in Group B. Discussion: Jeevantyadi Yamaka Matra Basti and Uttara Basti both are equally effective in increasing the size of follicles and other assessment parameters. But in overall, Jeevantyadi Yamaka Uttara Basti was more effective in achieving Ovulation due to its local effect. As, this study was only for three months so no result was seen on Conception.

According to WHO - 39% of adults aged 18 year and over were overweight in 2016 and 13% were obese. Over 340 million Children and adolescent aged 5-19 were overweight or obese in 2016. 39 million children under the age of 5-19 were overweight or obese in 2020.[1] The prevalence of Sthoulya (obesity) is increasing worldwide in all age groups. Sthoulya is a burgeoning global problem due to change in life style, Faulty diet pattern and decrease interest in the Exercise which lead to Hypertension, Diabetes mellites, Atherosclerosis and other non-communicable disease. Ayurveda is the science of life according to Ayurveda Samhitas Sthoulya is a Santarpanjanya Vyadhi which is described in Astonindatiya Adhyaya in Sutrasthana of Charak Samhita in detail. In Sthoulya disease mainly Medo Vaha Srotas is affected due to which their overgrowth of Medodhatu and this process eventually manifests as Sthoulya. In Ayurveda several measures are given by which we can reduce the risk of Sthoulya by the help Ahaar Vihaar and Aushadha. A study has shown that how Triphala Tail and Triphala Churna act on Samprapti of Sthoulya and breaks it to reduce the Meda which is the main cause of Sthoulya.

Background and Objectives: Anxiety disorder is a most common psychiatric disorder. Mind Sound Resonance Technique [MSRT] was developed using the concepts found in ancient writings that discuss the influence of Nadanusandhana [HathaYoga Pradipika] and Om [Mandukya Upanishad] in gaining internal control over mental changes. Mind Sound Resonance Technique was found to be beneficial in the management of anxiety. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate how mind sound resonance therapy affects anxiety disorder. Materials and Methods: 60 male participants between the ages of 18 to 30 were enrolled, and they were split into study and control groups at random. STAI Y1 & STAI Y2, DASS were assessed before and after 8 weeks of intervention. All the details of the study were explained and informed consent was obtained from the subjects. Result: Result suggested that experimental group demonstrated state anxiety [STAI-Y1] [p≤0.05], trait anxiety [STAI-Y2] [p≤0.05], depression [p≤0.05], anxiety [p≤0.05], and stress [p≤0.05] scores all significantly decreased. Interestingly in the control group a notable rise in trait anxiety was seen [STAI-Y2] [p ≤ 0.05] and a similar but less extent of reduction in scores on the DASS for depression [p≤0.05], anxiety [p≤0.05], and stress [p≤0.05]. Conclusion/Discussion: The current investigation found that using the Mind sound resonance approach for 8 weeks on Anxiety subjects has shown to be significantly reduce in State Anxiety scores [STAI-Y1], Trait anxiety [STAI-Y2], DASS- Depression Anxiety Stress scores.

Yuvan Pidaka is a common skin disease which generally occurs during adolescence. Acharya Sushruta described Yauvan Pidika, under the heading of Kshudrarogas.[1] It occur due to vitiation of Kapha-Vata Dosha and Rakta Dhatu,[2] producing Shalmalika-Kantaka Sadrusha Pidakas over face. Swabhava[3] (natural status) has also been considered as one of the causative factors. Though the Tarunya-Avastha (adolescent period) is the age for Shukra Pradurbhava (manifestation of Shukra Dhatu) and Sharangadhara has mentioned Vaktre Snigdhata (unctuousness on face) and Pidika (boil) formation on face as Mala (waste product) of Shukra Dhatu.[4] It is correlated with Acne vulgaris[5] a chronic inflammatory disease of Pilosebaceous Unit. Imbalanced hormonal levels also play a key role in Acne vulgaris. According to Acharyas nasal cavity is a door to provide medicinal drugs to the brain, so Nasya drugs act on brain through cavernous sinus. Observing the Sthana-Samshraya and Vyaktasthana of the disease as mentioned by Acharya Sushruta,[6] an erudite physician always treat patients with wounds in places above clavicular region, showing pain and vitiation by Kapha and Vata, selecting Nasya line of treatment. Kumkumadi Tailam has properties which alleviate vitiated Vata-Kapha and acts as Rakta Prasadhak, hence Kanti Vardhak. According to Acharya Sarangadhar,[7] Uttarkhanda 8th chapter in Marsha Nasya Taila is Srestha as Sira is Adhisthan of Kapha, and also stated that Marsha Nasya Taila can be applied in Kapha or Kapha-Vata related Vikaras with Oushad Dravyas.

Vyanga is one of the Kshudraroga mentioned in the classics which are having Lakshana like Niruja, Tanu and Shyava Mandala. It can be correlated with Melasma in modern terms, which is also known as Chloasma. Melasma is an acquired pigmentary disorder, causing hyper-pigmented patches to appear on the facial skin. The prevalence varies between 1.5 % and 33.3 % in India. Female to male ratio in India is 4:1, indicating the high prevalence rate among females. Aragwadha Pushpa Churna along with Nimbuka Swarasa is applied over the hyper-pigmented patches in the condition of Vyanga in Cauvery river stretch of Namakkal district of Tamil Nadu as a folklore practice. A randomized clinical study was carried out to compare the efficacy with Varnya Gana Churna. The clinical study in the sample size of 30 was carried out in 2 groups with the intervention of Group A being Aragwadha Pushpa Churna Lepa and that of Group B being Varnya Gana Churna Lepa, with 30 days of drug application period and 15 days of drug-free follow up period. Differential diagnosis was ruled out with the help of Wood’s lamp. Assessment was done with the help of criterias like Amount of discolouration, Arbitrary grading and Area of the lesion. Various statistical tests like Parametric, Non-parametric, Friedman repeated measures ANOVA on ranks, etc. were carried out to analyse the results of the study. Both Aragwadha Pushpa Churna and Varnya Gana Churna have significant effect in the management of Vyanga with special reference to Melasma. When improvement in the individual criteria was compared, Aragwadha Pushpa Churna showed better results in reducing the amount of discolouration & the number of lesions. Whereas, Varnya Gana Churna showed better results in reducing area of the lesion.

The holistic approach of treatment in Ayurveda includes, Yuktivyapashraya Chikitsa, Satvavajaya Chikitsa and Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa. Only the first two are in regular practice while this spiritual therapy i.e., Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa is totally ruled out in this IT world, as it is beyond the purview of reasoning. We have references of Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa in all our classical text books. Homa, Havana, Japa, Tapa, Mani, Mantra, Upavasa, Prayaschitta, Gamana are mentioned in Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa. Daiva is Atma Kruta Karma (i.e., deeds done by one’s own self). It is a philosophical Tatwa, one face for whatever is done in the past or previous Janma. In this present scenario, the chronic, serious diseases are increasing due to bad food style and wrong life style. Thus, cases of Infertility, Cancer, Alzheimer’s are also increasing. For such non-curable diseases, when planetary positions are not supportive for easy cure, using Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa can enhance the quality of life. Especially in infertility, many case study is documented after right rituals are done, couples have conceived, who had failures after trial of both Allopathy and Ayurveda therapies for infertility. So, Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa is a Indriyaateeta (not accessible to sense organs). Thus, it is kept aside by the Ayurveda fraternity and from the research in the field of science. But, it’s now the high time and right time has come to utilize this divine knowledge in guiding and helping the human kind in leading a better-quality life to be healthier and to lead a happy life.

But, it’s now the high time and right time has come to utilize this divine knowledge in guiding and helping the human kind in leading a better-quality life to be healthier and to lead a happy life.","PeriodicalId":486780,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ayurveda and integrated medical sciences","volume":"60 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140475937","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}
Background And Objectives: Bhastrika Pranayama boosts airflow into the body, which produces heat both physically and subtly, igniting both the body's and mind's internal fires. This fast-breathing Pranayama increases energy, cleanses and regenerates the lungs, tones the diaphragm, heart, and abdominal muscles, improves circulation. Hence, the objective of this study was to assess the physiological impact of Bhastrika Pranayama on healthy individuals using cardio-pulmonary variables. Materials and Methods: 110 healthy male and female participants between the ages of 18 and 25 were enrolled, and they were randomly divided into a control group and a Pranayama group. The parameters SpO2, SBP, DBP, HR, RR, and PEFR were noted for pre and post values for both groups were recorded. The parameters were measured using a peak flow metre, cardiac monitor, and pulse oximeter. The Pranayama group received Bhastrika Pranayama for 4 weeks whereas the control group received no intervention. Result: The Pranayama group showed a significant improvement in SpO2 (p≤0.05), RR (p≤0.05) and PEFR (p≤0.05) and a small reduction in SBP, DBP and HR. Whereas, no significant changes were observed in the control group. Discussion: Following 4-week of Bhastrika Pranayama shows improvement in PEFR, RR, and SpO2 while lowers HR, SBP, and DBP somewhat. The benefits of Bhastrika Pranayama in healthy people in terms of fitness-related health conditions, both in the short and long term, may also be revealed by future research.

Shwasakasari Rasa (SKR) is mentioned in Rasa Yoga Sagar,[1] (part 2) as a remedy of Shwasa & Kaasa Roga. This type of Rasa Aushadhi are more effective against bacteria. These drugs have a multi dimension effect like Broad-spectrum antibiotics. The Rasaushadies mentioned in Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia should be analysed for physical & chemical properties to confirm purity & safety before administration in human beings. Hence it become obligatory to adopt modern analytical methodology for better understanding and interpretation of physio-chemical changes occurred during the process. SKR was analysed on the following parameter Organoleptic parameter, Physiochemical analysis, Advanced physiochemical analysis. SKR sample was tested for antimicrobial activity against standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia and Streptococcus pneumonia. The prepared Shwasakasari Rasa was studied for their MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration & the zone of inhibition. The prepared drug was compared with Azithromycin (standard drug) of macrolide group to evaluate its antimicrobial efficacy. These tests was conducted in, S.R Labs & Research Centre, Jaipur.
Shwasakasari Rasa（SKR）在《Rasa Yoga Sagar》[1]（第 2 部分）中作为 Shwasa 和 Kaasa Roga 的一种疗法被提及。这类 Rasa Aushadhi 对细菌更有效。这些药物与广谱抗生素一样具有多维效果。阿育吠陀药典》中提到的 Rasaushadies 在对人体用药前应进行物理和化学特性分析，以确认其纯度和安全性。因此，有必要采用现代分析方法，以便更好地理解和解释加工过程中发生的物理化学变化。对 SKR 进行了以下分析：感官参数、理化分析、高级理化分析。测试了 SKR 样品对金黄色葡萄球菌、肺炎克雷伯氏菌和肺炎链球菌标准菌株的抗菌活性。研究了所制备的 Shwasakasari Rasa 的 MIC（最低抑菌浓度）和抑菌区。制备的药物与大环内酯类的阿奇霉素（标准药物）进行了比较，以评估其抗菌功效。这些测试在斋浦尔的 S.R 实验室和研究中心进行。
