All ages of urinary tract infections (UTI) are associated with substantial morbidity and long-term problems. Since using antibiotics helps treat urinary tract infections, it is highly concerning from a therapeutic standpoint when harmful germs become resistant to them. Ayurvedic medications are said to include particularly significant ingredients that are used to treat a variety of illnesses. The review study included a variety of scientific and clinical data that support the effectiveness of Ayurvedic medications in treating urinary tract infections. In the current paper, an evaluation of the effectiveness of Ayurvedic medications for treating clinical conditions such as UTIs was conducted. Good antibacterial qualities were demonstrated by ayurvedic drugs against gramme positive and negative microscopic organisms that cause urinary tract infections. Other aspects are highlighted likewise mitigating, diuretic, cell reinforcement, nephroprotective and antiurolithiatic properties helpful in the administration of UTI and all medications are protected even in high dosages subsequently can be adequately utilized for UTI conditions. In this paper an attempt is made to highlight the research work of role of Panchkarma in UTI, which would be effective in the treatment of UTI.

The Uttamanga or head occupies the first place among the vital organs of the body. It is due to its substratum of vital and sense organs which includes eyes, ears, nose, oral cavity and CNS. Shalakya Tantra one among the Astangas of Ayurveda deals with the anatomically, physiology, pathology and management pertaining to Jyanendriyas. The ears are one of the Jyanendriya. An ear is the organ that enables hearing and body balancing using the vestibular system. The organ of ear is situated deep below the body surface and inaccessible for inspection with naked eye or palpate. It can be facilitated with the help of modern aids like head mirrors, otoscope, various speculums, mirrors etc and the disorders can be understood on Ayurvedic line i.e., site, underlying Doshas, Dushyas, Lakshanas and should be treated with Ayurvedic line of management. Asatmyendriyartha Samyoga of Indriya i.e Ayoga, Atiyoga and Mithya Yoga of Srotrendriya causes Roga. Factors that affecting ear health are prolong usage of ear phones (particularly when the volume is set close to the maximum), exposure to loud noise/sounds (movie theatres, concerts, firecrackers etc), impacted ear wax, insertion of sharp or unclean particles into the ear, instillation of contaminated solutions, swimming in polluted water, recurrent upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, nutritional deficiency. Noise above 70 dB over a prolonged period of time may start to damage hearing. Loud noise above 120 dB can cause immediate harm to ears. In this article an attempt is made on the understanding Nidana, Samprapti, signs and symptoms and management of Karna Rogas mentioned by various Acharyas in Ayurveda.

Iron is mandatory for normal fetal development, including the brain. Iron deficiency may have deleterious effects for intelligence and behavioral development. It is important to prevent iron deficiency in the fetus by preventing iron deficiency in the pregnant woman. Iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy is a risk factor for preterm delivery and low birth weight. Ayurveda has recorded some of the complications of pregnancy under the name Garbhopdravas. Garbhini Pandu is the commonest Upadrava among them. Garbhini Pandu is described as a symptom and not as a Vyadhi in Ayurveda classics.

As the name indicates, lifestyle disorders are disorders or diseases caused by improper lifestyle. They are also called non-communicable diseases (NCDs). According to WHO non-communicable diseases are the cause of 73% of deaths all over the world. These diseases are classified under Santarpanjanya Vyadhis according to Ayurveda. In India, 53% of deaths and 44 % of disability are caused by non-communicable diseases. As per the WHO report it is estimated that an estimated 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 years worldwide have hypertension, most (two-thirds) living in low and middle-income countries. Raktagata Vata or Hypertension is not considered as Vyadhi by Ayurveda. It is the pathophysiology involves Prasaravastha of Doshas along with Rasa, Rakta and Meda Dhatu from their respective sites to hamper respective Srotas for blood circulation that leads to severe and chronic diseases of the brain, heart, kidneys etc. Ayurveda deals with the prevention of diseases first then cure of diseases. Ayurveda mainly focuses on Ahaar, Vihaar and Aushadha for the treatment of any disease. Ahaar along with Vihara is very important for the maintenance of health. For this, concepts of Dincharya, Ritucharya, Sadvritta and Rasayana therapy have been given in Ayurvedic texts.

Manuscriptology, a branch of literary research is designated as a primordial one as it is concerned with the preservation of the past for the future. This involves a systematic study of collection, classification, preservation, transcription, translation, lower and higher criticism of manuscripts. Manuscripts are the documented version of orally transmitted treasures of various types of knowledge including Ayurveda. Until and unless Ayurveda scholars embark in the field of manuscriptology, especially in critical editions and publication of Ayurveda manuscripts, the enrichment of our science both in knowledge and pragmatic domain will remain an incomplete one. The online data revealed that only 2% of Ayurveda manuscripts are in the published sector. So it is the need of the hour to conduct manuscriptology works on Ayurveda manuscripts exemplifying India’s cultural and knowledge heritage. This article will review the strides of manuscriptology along with a glimpse into the study of manuscripts done by Ayurveda colleges in Kerala. Eventually, all these works reveal the fact that further research on Ayurveda manuscripts is inevitable in contemporary knowledge-gathering settings.

Ayurvedic Visual Science (AVS) has served the nation since Rajashri Nimi, the King of Videha, well documented in Susruta Samhita in 800-600BC. Vision is the most essential sensory function of humans. Loss of vision is considered the highest disability in the general population. Still the unmet needs in ophthalmic research include glaucoma, retinal dystrophies, diabetic retinopathy (DR), retinitis pigmentation (RP), dry eye, progressive myopia, macular degeneration, and corneal diseases. There is no solution of many disorders in spite of the great invention in modern diagnosis and treatment. AVS has progressed tremendously in treating diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa and other incurable diseases. The Ayurvedic ocular medication comprises oral medication, Panchakarma and Kriya kalpa(Ocular procedures) to treat eye diseases holistically after factoring in the entire health profile of patients. A small cross-sectional study was conducted at Sri Sri Ayurveda Medical College, Bangalore, and 885 patients were included, nearly 02% of the total OPD strength of Shalya & Shalakya OPD. Maximum patients are males between the ages of 51-60 years. The most accepted group for Ayurveda Ocular treatment suffered from progressive myopia (26%), followed by 24% of patients with diabetic retinopathy and 13% with chronic conjunctivitis and Age-related macular degeneration. A consensus roadmap from AYUSH should address the unmet need through Ayurveda visual science supported by tangible clinical outcomes.

Diabetes Mellitus is one of the major health concerns of India gradually gaining potential to become an epidemic. At present, India has a stunning population of people suffering from diabetes which goes up to 101 million and by the end of 2045 it is expected to be between 124 to 135 million. As per a Cohort study conducted by Diabetic Federation of India 2/3rd of these diabetic patients suffer from Diabetic complications. When we consider these 2/3rd of the diabetic population who suffer from Diabetic complications, majority of them tend to develop Diabetic Foot Ulcers in their lifetime due to uncontrolled glycemic status. Madhumehajanya Dusta Vrana vis-à-vis Diabetic Foot ulcers once formed does not only affect the patient physically but can significantly negatively impact a patient’s quality of life by its presentations. Due to the non-healing nature of Madhumehajanya Dusta Vrana and associated infection, it discharges multiple secretions from its floor which results in morbid moisture in the ulcer further adding to its non-healing nature. The present article is intended to understand the same in detail regarding the Srava and Gandha of Madhumehajanya Dusta Vrana in detail as per Ayurvedic and contemporary science point of view.

Women represent the cornerstone of a family’s overall health. Healthy women, Healthy world embodies that women are custodians of family health; they play a critical role in maintaining the health and overall wellbeing of community. In Ayurveda word “Artava” denotes menstrual blood. Artava is related to 2 seasons i.e., it may be due to presence of Ritukala (ovulation period) and Rajakal (menstruation period) in women. Human body is controlled by the three energies called Tridoshas - Vata, Pitta and Kapha which are characterized under seven Dhatus. These Dhatus have Updhatus also. Artava (menstrual blood) is one of the Updhatus of Rasa Dhatu.[1] The specific characteristics of menstrual blood with its physiological and pathological variation described in Ayurveda classics as Shudhartava and Artavdhusti respectively help in identifying the hormonal status of women. Shudhartava plays crucial role in maintaining women’s healthy reproductive life. When Artava is not quite same as highlights of Shudhartava mentioned in classics then there may be Artavdushti or menstrual abnormalities like dysmenorrhoea, menorrhagia, amenorrhoea etc uterine disorders like endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroid, etc which may be cause of infertility. Ayurveda classics explains about colour, texture, specific smell, amount and other associated features like type of pain in various Artavdushti. So, only by observing menstrual blood variation we can find out the disease associated with it. Thus, study of Artava and Artavdhusti plays a very significant role in diagnosis of pathological disorders related with female reproductive system.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. According to WHO an estimated 17.9 million people died from CVDs in 2019, representing 32% of all global deaths. Of these deaths, 85% were due to heart attack and stroke. India has one of the highest burdens of cardiovascular disease worldwide. The annual number of deaths from CVD in India is projected to rise from 2.26 million (1990) to 4.77 million (2020). The rate of incidence of cardiac disorders is almost doubled in Indian population which is an alarming fact. Cardiovascular Disease is largely the product of interactions of modifiable risk factors like changing lifestyles, bad eating habits and rapidly evolving socio-economic determinants like access to healthcare. There is a need of developing an integrative approach which conceptualizes a unique blend of different systems to bring the balance of body, mind and spirit for perfect health. Ayurveda holds the breakthrough to the key challenges that the India and in turn the world is facing in present era in cardiac care. Various scattered literature can be brought together and a clinical cardiology in Ayurveda can be given to modern society. Present paper is an effort towards Integrative approach for the management of CVDs.

Due to faulty food habits and altered lifestyles, non communicable disorders are commonly occurring in modern India. Alcoholic liver disease is caused due to intake of excessive alcohol for prolonged period. The alcohol taken undergoes metabolic changes and acetaldehyde is formed which damages the liver. Initially liver cells get studded with fat droplets and leads to inflammation of the liver called Alcoholic hepatitis. If further alcohol is taken in excessive amounts, it leads to Alcoholic cirrhosis. In this condition some of the hepatocytes undergo necrosis followed by abnormal regeneration and formation of multiple nodules and extensive fibrosis. There will be decrease in liver function followed by emaciation of the body and ascites in alcohol liver disease. Ayurveda medicine has a better role and outcome. Use of hepatoprotectives, hepatic stimulant, Rasayana drugs. Choalaganges, Tikta and Madhura Rasayukta drugs, Mootrala drugs and protein supplementation are found effective in the management of Alcoholic liver disease. Present paper highlights the role of Ayurveda medicines in the management of Alcoholic liver disease.
