Computer Vision Syndrome is the name given to eye problems caused by prolonged computer use including: Eye irritation (Dry eyes, itchy eyes, red eyes) Blurred vision, Headache. As we enter the 21st century, the growing use of Video Display Terminal (VDT) like Computer, Tablet, Smart phones etc. in the home and office brings with it an increase in health risks, especially for the eyes. One eye problem, called Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), is afflicting more and more people who find themselves constantly in front of Video Display Terminal. Symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome include Headache, Blurred vision, Burning sensation, Fatigue, Dry eyes, Irritated eyes, Double vision, and Difficulty re-focusing the eyes. These symptoms can be further aggravated by improper lighting conditions and air moving fast the eyes. Dry eye is a major symptom that is targeted in the therapy of computer vision syndrome. Acharya Susrutha mentioned Tarpanam, Putapakam, Sekam, Acshyothanam, Anjana the Kriya Kalpas for Netra Rogas. Tarpana is indicated when the eyes are fatigue inactive, Sushka (dry), Ruksha (rough), injured, patients of Vata and Pitta vitiation, when there is squint, loss of lashes, clouded vision, difficulty in opening the eyes etc. conditions, Tarpana should be done to the patients.

Ayurveda is an ancient medical science, which not only treats the diseases but it also emphasizing for a healthy life. Ayurveda’s main aim is to maintaining Dhatusamya of body. The person who follows the rules of Dincharya, Ritucharya and Aahar Vihar able to live healthy life. But in today’s lifestyle it is difficult to follows these rules and due to sedentary changes in daily habits of diet, work etc. This continuous exposure to these factors various systemic changes are occurring in our body, these factors mainly vitiates Rakta Dhatu and in Kshudra Kushtha (Minor skin diseases) also the vitiation of Rakta Dhatu. There are two types of Kustha, Maha Kushta and Kshudra Kustha. Mahakustha is of eight types and Kshudra Kustha is of eleven types. According to Ayurveda, Tvacha (skin) is a seat of Sparshanrndriya. It carries the sensation of touch and it also covers the internal part of the body. Tvacha (skin) is ‘Panchbhautik’ but out of them Vayumahabhuta is prominent one. Gandhak Rasayana is one of the oral medicines described for many skin diseases. Gandhak Rasayana mainly acts on skin, blood and it is Rasayana in action. So, it more or less acts on all Doshas and Dhatus.

Avabahuka is a disease mainly affects the Amsa Sandhi (shoulder joint) which is painful, affecting the normal routine life style of an individual. The sedentary and restless lifestyles of people, and lack of priority to physical exercise, have an effect on the body that can cause disease. The main Dosha involved Avabahuka is Vatadosha and the treatment adopted for this are like Snayu-Sandhi-Asthi-Gata-Vata treatment. In Frozen Shoulder synovial inflammation occurs followed by capsular fibrosis. The shoulder joint becomes gradually painful and stiff with a reduction in range of motion. The current pilot study aim is to investigate the impact of Nasya with Baladi Taila and Baladi Kwath in Avabahuka. There are references for Nasya Karma in Avabahuka. Acharya Sushruta and others have considered it as Vataja Vikara. Amsa Shosha can be considered a pre-disease stage in which loss or dryness of the Shleshaka Kapha is found, as well as other symptoms like Shula during movement of shoulder joint.

Amlapitta indicates a disease characterized by pathological changes in Pitta, one of the predominant Doshas, including Samana Vayu, Pachaka Pitta, and Kledaka Kapha. These changes lead to the aggravation of Tridosha and manifest symptoms such as Avipaka, Klama, Utklesha, Gaurava, Hritkantha Daha, Tiktamlodgara, and Aruchi, among others. Numerous Pittakara and Amapradoshaja Nidanas contribute to its onset, exacerbated by sedentary lifestyles and a lack of adherence to Dinacharya Rutucharya and proper Rasayana practices, ultimately reducing human lifespan. In this clinical research project, subjective parameters were selected to assess the efficacy of Amla Pittagna Arka, sourced from Ravana Samhita Arka Prakashana. Fifteen patients participated in the study, undergoing Kosta Shodhana by Haritakyadi Yoga for three days followed by 21 days of Amla Pittagna Arka administration. Subjective parameters were evaluated every seventh day, with data collected before and after treatment. Statistical analysis by experts revealed significant improvements, with Tikta/Amlodgara reduced by 89.74%, Hritkanta Daha by 90%, Utklesh by 90.48%, Aruchi by 61.54%, Avipaka by 80.00%, Klama by 48.28%, and Gaurava by 48.15%. The trial drug, Amla Pittagna Arka, demonstrated effectiveness particularly in Vata Pittanubandi type of Amla Pitta. Further large-scale research is necessary to validate its efficacy.

Kshara is an important dose type stated in Ayurveda that is made from plant ash. Kshara has some similar qualities, such as an alkaline nature, water solubility, and a pale colour. Kshara has an advantage over all surgical and parasurgical measures since it can be used on skinny, frail individuals who are afraid of surgery. In classical writings, many herbs like as Apamarga, Snuhi, and Kadali Palasha are utilised to create Kshara, either individually or combined. The therapeutic usage of Kshara of different plants differs from one another, hence analytical research of each Kshara is required. Aims & Objectives The current study involves the preparation and analysis of Palasha (Butea monosperma) Kshara in order to better understand its properties. Material and Methods: Kshara preparation consists of several steps. In this study, Palasha Kshara is prepared using the general process described in the Sharangadhara Samhita. The prepared Kshara is submitted to several physicochemical evaluations, and the results are concluded. Results: The Palasha Kshara has physical features such as pale colour, strong odour, and softness to the touch. Chemically, it contains potassium, phosphorus, and sulphur, as well as trace amounts of other elements. The current study describes the methods and findings of Palasha Kshara's medicinal and analytical studies.

Aconitum, the "Queen of Poisons" commonly known as Monkshood or Wolf’s bane, is a genus of perennial plants belonging to the family Ranunculaceae. In Ayurveda also few species of Aconitum are used for its therapeutic actions and the most potent of them is Aconitum Ferox, also known as Indian aconite or Vatsanabha, and it has the ability to function as both the ultimate poison and an elixir. In Ayurveda, Vatsanabha is considered as Mahavisha included among Sthavara Visha by Acharya Charaka, and in Kanda Visha by Acharya Susrutha. Aconitum Ferox is a highly toxic with the estimated fatal dose of 1g of root powder with a fatal period of 6 hours which contains a potent cardiotoxin and neurotoxin known as Aconitine. Ingesting even a small amount of the plant can result in severe symptoms and even death. As a result of the high toxicity of Vatsanabha, prior to any therapeutic use, the roots should under gone proper Sodhana process. Rasayana (rejuvenating), Deepana (improves digestion), Balavardhana (improves strength) Agnimandyahara (relieves indigestion) Pleehodara (useful in splenomegaly), Vataraktahara (useful against gout) Shwasahara (useful respiratory diseases), Kasahara (relieves cough), Gudamayahara (useful in ano-rectal disorders) etc. are just a few of the therapeutic indications of Vatsanabha that have been used successfully to treat a range of medical conditions. Recent Researches have shown that Vatsanabha contains several biologically active compounds that may have numerous potential therapeutic properties. The pharmacological potential of Aconitum Ferox still justifies vast research possibilities.

Ayurveda indeed delves deep into various therapeutic procedures, including Shastrakarma and Anushstra Karma. Kshara, considered one of the prime therapies, is classified into Paneeya and Pratisarneeya, with the latter further divided into Mridu, Madhyama and Teekshana.[1] Pratisaraniya Kshara involves diverse applications like Kshara application, Kshara Sutra, Kshara Varti, Kshara Plota, Kshara Taila infiltration and intralesional injection of Ksharodaka. Its primary applications encompass treating conditions such as Arsha (hemorrhoids), Bhagandara (fistula-in-ano), Nadivrana (sinus), Vidradhi (abscess), Dustavrana (non healing ulcer) and Charmakeela (warts). In the Sushruta Samhita, Acharya Sushruta elaborates on Kshara's multifaceted actions, attributing qualities like Chedana (cutting), Bhedana (penetrating), Lekhana (scraping), Dahana (caustic action), Pachana (digestive), Darana (breaking down), Vilayana (dissolving), Sodhana (purifying), Ropana (healing) and Stambhana (arresting).[2] Kshara's caustic nature plays a pivotal role in eliminating necrosed and infected tissues by inducing controlled tissue destruction.

Sushruta emphasized special attention to infections caused by Rakshasa/Bhuta in conditions such as smallpox, Apasmara, and other diseases related to Baalgraha, injuries, and wounds. Charaka focused on contagious diseases, mentioning entities like the Rabies virus (Skand Apasmara), Bhuta influences or possession in contagious diseases (Agantuka Roga), and the use of remedies to ward off Bhuta, destroy Rakshasa, and counteract the effects of Garha. The Atharvaveda also extensively discusses the use of medicines to counteract entities such as Bhuta, subtle microorganisms, and their destructive nature, indicating that the causative agents of diseases in the ancient texts were perceived to be similar to modern concepts of viruses and bacteria. The classification of Bhuta in the context of Unmada and Apasmara in Charaka, as well as the mention of remedies to counteract Bhuta. Sushruta and Vagbhatta also highlighted the impact of Bhuta or Rakshas on the mind, leading to mental symptoms or disorders. Affected individuals may exhibit symptoms or actions beyond human capabilities. However, literary evidence on this topic is scarce.
