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.

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.

Ayurveda medicine is one of the oldest holistic healing sciences it was developed around 3000 years ago. Different branches of science were nurtured by it like biology, genetics, microbiology, clinical medicine, surgery, astronomic, pharmaceutics and metallurgy etc. In Ayurveda system of medicine various formulations have been described in the traditional literature, which adopted the processes which are quite similar to the processes used today in modern medicine for formulation of various dosage forms to get the desired effect for the optimum period. Science and technology in ancient and medieval India covered all the major branches of human knowledge and activities. In any, early civilization, metallurgy has remained an activity central to all civilizations from the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, to all other civilizations that followed. Various chemicals like common salt, alkali, borax, and compounds of elements Cu, Fe, Hg and Au were used as well as techniques for making of the alloys were also very common. The applicability of natural preservatives like oil, sugar, salt were also very much known in ancient time. However, the terms used as stated in traditional literature were not similar to the modern times. Also, the acidic and alcoholic fermented products were prepared very commonly.

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 a time-tested science of life, which is a treasure of knowledge, explains about the homeostasis of Dosha, Dhatu and Malas in our body. Diseases are as old as life, Disease is very old nothing has changed, it is we who changed. They are nothing but the permutation and combination of the various components of the body in vitiated state. Roganidana is the prime subject that reveals the complete process of the disease in the given patient and then the medicine is decided. The word Nityasamshleshita Dosha is used synonymous with the word Leena Dosha. Leena Dosha is a unique concept explained in Ayurveda, which plays a pivotal role in the manifestation of the disease. We find this concept explained in scattered references of Ayurveda literature explained by our Bruhatrayees. Leena Dosha Avastha is considered as a latent phase of the disease, and if the physician understands this concept in a right time, physician can easily treat the disease properly without a failure in treatment approach. This present article is intended to introduce the synonymous word to Leena Dosha as per the new syllabus of Roganidana (framed by NCISM) and to highlight the Ayurvedic aspect of Nityasamshleshita Dosha Avastha in an elaborated form.

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.
