Diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 is one of the global problems of the present day and it is gaining more attention. It is expected to continue as a major health problem and leads to serious complications. India is one of the top 5 countries with the highest prevalence of DM. The IDF Diabetes Atlas (2021) reports that 10.5% of the adult population (20-79 years) has diabetes, with almost half unaware that they are living with the condition. By 2045, IDF projections show that 1 in 8 adults, approximately 783 million, will be living with diabetes, an increase of 46%.[1] The signs and symptoms of diabetes can be correlated to Prameha of Ayurveda. The management of Prameha is mentioned in Ayurveda as preventive and curative aspects. Ayurveda has recommended an appropriate use of Oushadha Yogas along with proper Pathya (wholesome) Ahara, and Viharas. On the same principles a patient was treated at OPD basis, this case report analyses the same. A male patient, aged 45 years, diagnosed case of Prameha 5 years back presented with dryness in the mouth, increased frequency of micturition, Excessive thirst, weakness of the body, and burning sensation at the sole. The treatment planned was use of Shamana Oushadhis along with proper Pathya (wholesome) Ahara, and Vihara for three months. After three months of treatments results were compared. There was a marked reduction in signs and symptoms like burning sensation, numbness, excessive thirst, and increased micturition.

The world's fastest-growing major illness is diabetes mellitus. It's a metabolic illness that could lead to an insufficiency or malfunction in the production of insulin. Many of the Samhitas contain detailed descriptions of Madhumeha. Diabetic neuropathy is most common complication of Diabetes, approximately 50% of patients with diabetes eventually develop neuropathy. Symptoms of diabetic neuropathy not directly mentioned in Ayurveda but symptoms like Suptata, Chumchumayan, Karpada Daha, seen in Prameha either in Prameha prodomal stage, exhibition stage or in complication stage. As Samprapti of diabetic neuropathy not clearly mentioned in Samhitas so, after reviewing different Samhitas, a Samprapti has been suggested with possible management of Diabetic neuropathy in Ayurveda i.e., Shodhan and Samana Chikitsa and mode of action of Shodhan Chikitsa.

The brachial artery is a major artery of arm and continuation of the axillary artery. It begins at the lower border of the teres major muscle and ends at the level of the neck of the radius in deeper part of cubital fossa by dividing into radial and ulnar arteries. The brachial artery variations were observed in its course, branching pattern and division. Higher division of brachial artery is one of the common variations ranging from 15% to 20% of population. The course, termination and precise knowledge of variations of Brachial Artery is an important aspect in the clinical practice of Physician, Vascular surgeons, and Radiologist.

Alopecia areata is defined as patches of hair loss on the scalp. It is considered a psychosomatic disorder in present era. Today, the young generation is more likely to be victims of Alopecia areata, based on clinical grounds. There are many causes of alopecia areata, such as fungal infection, dandruff, scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, pediculosis, systemic disorders, autoimmune disorders, etc. It may also be seen as a side effect of chemotherapy or radiotherapy. A 16-year-old patient had patches of hair loss on his scalp. He had taken treatment with conventional modern medicine, but in vain. The patient was given Ayurvedic treatment for six months on an OPD basis, including Karanj oil for local application, Rakt Pachak Churna, Rasayan Churna, Aarogyavardhini Vati, and Jalaukavacharan (leech therapy). After a 3-months interval, regrowth of the hair was found. This study suggests that Shaman and Shodhan treatment can provide noteworthy relief in Alopecia areata, i.e., Indralupta.

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.

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).

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting mainly in skin and joint. In Ayurveda, under the umbrella of Kushtha all skin diseases are described. In management of Psoriasis Ayurvedic system of medicine is giving good results. The main line of treatment of skin diseases in Ayurveda is repeated Samshodhana (purificatory therapies) along with Samshamana (palliative therapies). Three assessments were done before and after treatment on scoring of Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Psoriasis Disability Index (PDI) and PASI score. Score of the patient was 83% before treatment and 16% after treatment and 10% after follow up on Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), 86% before treatment and 65% after treatment and 41% after follow up on Psoriasis Disability Index (PDI) and 35.5% before treatment, 10.2% after treatment and 8% after follow up in PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index).
