Stress disorder are due to both stress and strain. Stress can be defined as a state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation. Stress is a natural human response that prompts us to address challenges and threats in our lives. Everyone experiences stress to some degree. The prevalence of stress in the general population is 29.6%. Sattwavajaya Chikitsa described by Acharya Charaka is nothing but withdrawal of mind from unwholesome objects. It also includes methods mentioned under Adravyabhuta Chikitsa.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an auto immune disease in which organs and cells undergo damage mediated by tissue-binding autoantibodies and immune complex.[1]. 90% of patients are women of child-bearing years are affected with this disease. According to Ayurveda, the signs and symptoms can be included under the purview of Vataraktha. Case summary: A 43-year-old female patient approached with chief complaints of pain over bilateral elbow joints, shoulder joints and low back pain, burning sensation over toes for 8 years associated with febrile attacks, coated tongue, mouth ulcer, dryness of mouth aggravated since 2 months. The Ayurvedic diagnosis was made as Vataraktha on the basis of signs and symptoms. The patient was given Sadyovirechana (Purgation therapy), Basti therapy (enema) along with other external procedures and internal medications. Significant improvement was observed after the treatment in terms of VAS Score and other subjective parameters. This case study shows that Ayurvedic treatment is helpful in the functional improvement of SLE and helps in improving the quality of life.

Ayurveda is an old science that is very scientific and based on several fundamental principles. The science of life, or Ayurveda, categorizes the body's constituents within three essential elements Dosha (tissue entities), Dhatu (biological entities), and Mala, or waste materials. The balance between these entities is crucial to the durability and healthy lives for people. Similar to a progressive evolutionary metamorphosis, the production of Saptadhatus begins with the fundamental product of digestion, called Rasa Dhatu, and continues with the production of Rakta (blood tissue), Mamsa (muscle tissue), Meda (fat tissue), Asthi (bone tissue), Majja (bone marrow), and Sukra Dhatu (feces from reproduction). Every Dhatu is the basis for every other one and nourishes the one above it. The meals keep the steadily decreasing Dhatus in balance. That suggests the Dhatus are interdependent, with modifications to one causing modifications to the other. The goal of this review is to integrate different sources and arrive at a consensus. This paper explains the concept of Dhatu-Kshaya (depletion) in general terms and gives examples of how it can be used in real-world situations.

Today, every person, whether young or old wants to look attractive and flawless skin. Acne vulgaris is a follicular disorder affecting susceptible pilosebaceous follicles primarily of the face, neck and upper trunk. Characterized by comedones, papules, nodules and cysts. Acharya Sushruta was the first and foremost who described Yuvan-Pidika disease under the heading of “Kshudra Roga” According to Acharya Sushrut Yuvan-Pidika is caused by vitiation of Kapha, Vata and Rakta. Characterized by Shalmali thorn like eruptions, Kandu, Shoola, Ghana, Medogarbha, Daha, Strava, Vivarnata. In Naturopathy, Mud therapy is a famous and cost-effective treatment modality. Mud is capable of absorbing toxins from the body also useful for prevention and treatment of many diseases. Acharya Sushrut has defined anti-toxic effect of black soil. It is indicated as Lepa in Shotha, Arunshika, and mainly in Kapha, Pitta, Raktaj Vikara. This case study is of a 17 years old female patient who came to hospital complaining of eruptions over her face with mild pain since 11 months. The patient was given a mud pack to apply on the face for the period of 45 days daily in the morning. Patient was successfully treated without any complication within 45 days proving it is a safe, simple and cheap method in Yuvan Pidika.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common problems affecting approximately 12% of all woman. PCOS can effect menstrual cycle, hormonal level, fertility as well as appearance including acne, facial hair growth and balding, overweight, irregular menstrual cycle, amenorrhoea, dysmenorrhea etc. Some woman may suffer from depression. It is also a metabolic problem that affects several body systems. PCOS is the most common endocrinopathy which mostly occur in women of reproductive age, resulting into insulin resistance and the compensatory hyper insulinemia. According to ayurvedic view PCOS can be correlated with Aarthava Kshaya. Ayurveda scriptures describes gynaecological disorder mainly under the term “Yonivyapada”. It is difficult to find exact correlation of any specific condition in Ayurvedic text with PCOS. The sign & symptoms of condition like Anartava / Nashtarva, Arjaska Yonivyapada, Lohitakshaya Yonivyapada, Vandhya Yonivyapada, Shandi Yonivyapada, Aartava Kashya and Pushpaghani Jataharini mentioned in Ayurveda closely resemble the features of PCOS symptoms. While explaining Yoni Vyapada they also described some herbal formulations to treat such conditions which included Latakaranj seeds (Caesalpinia cristata), Shivlingi (Bryonopsis laciniosa), Shatpushpa (Anethum sowa) & Kounch (Mucuna prurita).

Introduction: Sleep is a natural, essential activity for the restoration of fatigued tissues, with its mechanism not fully elucidated. Ayurveda considers sleep, along with diet and celibacy, as fundamental pillars of life. Materials & Methods: Various literatures like Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Astanga Hridaya, modern medical textbooks, journals and online databases are reviewed Results: Proper sleep promotes happiness, nourishment, strength, knowledge, and longevity. Day sleep (Divaswapna) is recommended under specific conditions, aligning with seasonal rhythms. Insomnia (Nidranasa) is linked to Dosha imbalances, mental exhaustion, and systemic disturbances. Discussion: Ayurvedic recommendations for daytime sleep vary based on individual constitutions and health conditions. The approach underscores the significance of balancing these factors for sound and restorative sleep. Conclusion: The Ayurvedic perspective emphasizes obtaining the right amount of sleep at the right time for overall well-being. Sleep is deemed a rejuvenating force, contributing to strength, nourishment, and satisfaction. Individualized regimens are crucial to ensure proper sleep and address potential imbalances, aligning with Ayurvedic principles for holistic health.

Introduction: The Upanaha Sweda and Anda Pinda Sweda have wide levels of application in Ayurveda practice. Upanaha Sweda is mentioned by Acharya Charaka in Niragni Sweda type. Whereas, other classics like Susruta Samhita and Astanga Hrudaya mention it in the Sagni Sweda variety. So, combining both the views of Acharyas, we can interpret that there are 2 types of Upanaha i.e., Sagni Upanaha & Niragni Upanaha. Anda Pinda Sweda is a type of Snigdha Sankara Sweda. These two classically mentioned therapies are less utilized in many institutions due to various reasons. Here in this study, we are trying the sort out the practical difficulties and find the possible modifications of these classical procedures for their utilization in the modern era. Methodology: With the main intention of developing a Snigdha Swedana procedure having both the benefits of Anda Pinda Sweda and Upanaha Sweda, the Andopanaha is designed. Here in this new method, the Dhanya Dravya is replaced by the (Kukkuta Anda) egg white, which is also a good binding agent. Observations: Compared to the Anda Pinda Sweda procedure the contact of Egg proteins with the skin is more in the Andopanaha procedure. Which helps is more analgesic effects and anti-inflammatory effects of the egg proteins. Discussion: The paper is prepared by authors with the intention that procedures and standards of care must be updated with modern tools and technologies without violating the basic principles of Ayurveda. If the old procedures need any changes according to the modern era they must be followed for their propagation in the public.

Ayurveda, the ancient science of holistic medicine and well-being, has been meticulously passed down through generations by Indian sages. Among the invaluable aspects of Ayurveda bestowed upon us by these revered Acharyas is the Marma science. Although not highly advanced in the context of modern science, Marma science emphasizes crucial points on the body surface known as Marmas. The occurrence of an injury at these vital points can potentially lead to disability, dysfunction, or even the termination of life. Intriguingly, Marmas serve as pivotal junctures where the entire spectrum of our physical and mental energy can be intentionally heightened, diminished, or redirected, facilitating transformative effects through the judicious application of Marma techniques. Considered as specialized pranic switches within the body, stimulating Marma points can lead to the balanced flow of Prana (life force) in different body parts, thereby yielding the desired therapeutic benefits. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Marmas, offering a general description and highlighting the utility of Marma Chikitsa in promoting overall well-being.

Ayurveda is an ancient medical science which have proved for more than 5000 years ago. Dosha, Dhatu, and Mala are regarded as the fundamental elements of the human body. In addition to these components, Sira is a significant entity in which Rasadi Dhatus and Ojas flows from one place to other in the body. It is one among the Marma Vastu. In Ayurveda, the word Sira, Dhamani and Srotas are used interchangeably. All of these structures are present very closely and are minute and serves different functions in the body. Two chapters in Shareera Sthana in particular have been provided by Acharya Sushruta to explain the Sira.

The domestication of diverse plant species to meet human needs has been an integral aspect of human society throughout history. The ancient practice of domestication and cultivation is deeply rooted. Ayurveda, recognized as a holistic health science, has devoted attention to the well-being of plant under the topic ‘Vrikshayurveda’. Various texts have been expounded dealing with Vrikshayurveda. Sharangdhar Padhdhati, a text of thirteenth century deals with the topic of cultivation and other factors affecting plant health. The description becomes more important in present day scenario with many health issues originating due to non-judicious use of chemical fertilizers, weedicides and pesticides. The chapter Vrikshayurveda: Upvanvinoda of Sharangdhar Padhdhati offers valuable insights into ancient agricultural practices. This chapter focuses on tree and plant care, provides a remarkable treasure of wisdom, detailing various techniques, principles, and holistic approaches to cultivating and nurturing plants. As modern agriculture is struggling with sustainability challenges, the revival of such traditional agricultural knowledge is quite relevant. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the chapter's content, delving into various aspects, including soil health, plant propagation, pest control, and significance of trees. Furthermore, it explores the potential applications of this ancient wisdom in modern agriculture, such as biodiversity conservation, organic farming, permaculture, crop improvement, and innovative pest management. By bridging the gap between traditional knowledge and contemporary agricultural practices, this review envisions a more sustainable and harmonious future for cultivation of herbal drugs and the environment.
