Nowadays, the most prevalent ailment affecting human body is backache, which has an impact on everyday routine. Human life styles have altered dramatically over time due to over exertion, improper sitting and standing postures in work place, jerky movements during travel etc invariably causes jerks to the spinal column leading to Sciatica etc. spinal disorders. Its prevalence is 1.2% to 43% Worldwide which affects person’s age group of 30-60 years. Currently it seen in younger adults also with equal ratio in both genders. In Ayurveda it can be correlated with Gridhrasi. The word Gridhrasi is derived from - Gridhramapi Syathi. So, which means the disease where gait of the affected person resembles like a Gridhra which means Vulture. Gridhra is a bird which is fond of meat. This bird pierces the meat with its beak and pulls out; which gives severe pain to the prey similarly this type of pain is felt by affected person hence it is named as Gridhrasi. The present case is single case study which is about 20 days, where patient came with complaints of pain and stiffness in lower back region radiating to right lower leg, difficulty to sit normally, etc. since 3 months. The Patient was treated with peculiar combinations like only Niruhabasti, Kukkutanda Sweda along with Shamanaushadhis and reported with evident result in this case.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) poses a significant threat to childhood mobility and can lead to later complications, including the need for hip replacements. This article provides a comprehensive overview of DDH, covering its incidence, prevalence, risk factors, and associated pathology. It emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and outlines various treatment modalities, ranging from non-surgical interventions like the Pavlik harness to surgical options such as open reduction and hip reconstruction. The article includes a case report of an 8-year-old female with DDH who sought Ayurvedic treatment after previous consultations offered surgery as the primary solution. The therapeutic intervention involved a combination of Koshta Shuddhi, Basti Karma, and oral medications. The results indicated a significant reduction in pain and improved mobility, demonstrating the potential efficacy of Ayurvedic approaches in managing DDH. The discussion delves into the pathophysiology of DDH, highlighting the role of Vata Dosha and emphasizing the multifaceted benefits of Ayurvedic treatments in addressing the underlying imbalances. The presented case underscores the importance of personalized care and alternative treatment options for DDH, contributing to the broader discourse on holistic healthcare and integrative medicine. In conclusion, this article provides a thorough exploration of DDH, incorporating clinical features, diagnosis, and a detailed treatment case study. It not only contributes valuable insights into the conventional management of DDH but also introduces the potential benefits of Ayurvedic interventions, opening avenues for further research and collaboration between traditional and modern medical practices.

Gridhasi is one of the most common disease of Vata Vyadhi, which closely related with sciatica. This is characterised by low back pain and radiates towards posterior part of leg or discomfort associated with sciatic nerve. It has painful (Shoola Pradhan) condition which hampers the routine of life. In Gridhasi pain starts form Kati-Prushta (Pelvic & Lumbo-Sacral resion) radiating towards Jangha (Thigh), Pada (Legs) with impairment of lifting leg (Stiffness). The prevalence of sciatica varies considerably ranging from 3.8% in the working population to 7.9% in nonworking population. Contemporary medicine has limitations giving short term relief in pain or surgical intervention with side effect. The aim of this study was to access the effect of Ayurvedic management through Shodhan and Shaman Chikitsa. Here in this case study a 60 year female patient was suffering from sciatic pain (Low back Pain) radiating towards posterior part of leg due to herniation of L4-L5 and L5-S1 that is correlated with Gridhasi since 6 months approached to Ayurvedic Hospital and She was treated with Panchakarma treatment including Dashmooladi Niruha Basti, Merudand Basti, Patra Pinda Sweda and Raktmokshan along with Shaman Chikitsa. The treatment was continued for consecutive two months.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most frequent micro vascular complication of Diabetes mellitus. It is an eye condition that can cause vision loss and blindness. Globally the prevalence of Diabetic retinopathy among diabetic patients is estimated to be 27.0% which leads to 0.4 million blindness in the world.[1] It affects blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of the eye). It commonly affects both eyes and can lead to vision loss if it left untreated. Currently available conventional treatments (Focal laser therapy, Anti-vascular growth factor drug) for DR have certain limitations, considering which options from alternative resources are being searched. Despite advances in science the treatment of DR is challenging. So, in this case Ayurveda treatment was done.
糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)是糖尿病最常见的微血管并发症。它是一种可导致视力丧失和失明的眼部疾病。据估计,全球糖尿病患者中糖尿病视网膜病变的发病率为 27.0%,导致全球 40 万人失明。[1] 它影响视网膜(眼球后部的感光层组织)中的血管。它通常会影响双眼,如果不及时治疗,会导致视力丧失。目前治疗 DR 的常规疗法(聚焦激光疗法、抗血管生长因子药物)有一定的局限性,因此正在寻找其他治疗方法。尽管科学在不断进步,但 DR 的治疗仍具有挑战性。因此,本病例采用了阿育吠陀疗法。

Skin inflammation is referred to as eczema, also referred to as dermatitis. Erythema, vesiculation, and oozing are the symptoms of acute eczema, followed by subacute scaling and crusting and chronic lichenification. According to Ayurveda, Charmakushta which is one among the 18 types of Kushta can be correlated to chronic stage of eczema. This condition can be managed with Sodhana and Shamana principles mentioned in Kushta. The subjective parameter like pruritus is assessed with NRS(numeric rating scale) and EASI score (eczema area and severity index) was taken for measuring area or extent along with severity. Sleep disturbance was measured using atopic dermatitis sleep score (ADSS) and DLQI (Dermatology Life Quality Index) was also assessed. All these parameters were assessed before and after treatment and also after follow up. DLQI of the patient was 66.6%before treatment which was reduced to 26.6% after treatment and 13.3% after follow up. NRS score has showed a 5 point decrease in the score and ADSS showed a marked decrease in mean score after follow up. EASI score also showed a marked reduction from 22 to 8.6 after follow up.

Infertility associated with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a major cause of concern in the present generation among the reproductive age groups due to unhealthy lifestyles in the modern era. This is a case report of an infertile couple who had not been able to conceive for 4 yrs. The female was diagnosed with PCOS with left tubal blockage. The objective of the present treatment included Ayurvedic management of PCOS, ensuring regular ovulation and thereby helping to develop healthy pregnancy and successful childbirth. Based on Ayurvedic science this case was diagnosed as Vandhyatva (Infertility) due to Nashtartava (that can be related with Polycystic ovarian disease) And Tubal blockage that can be related with Artava Vaha Strotosangha. This research paper presents a case study of the effectiveness of a comprehensive Ayurvedic treatment approach involving Uttarbasti with Kasisadi Tail along with oral medicines i.e., Pushpadhanva Ras and Kanchnar Guggulu as major medications in the successful treatment of a primary infertility patient having history of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) And Tubal blockage.
