Background- The condition which has white colour patches in skin is known as Shvitra in Ayurveda. In Modern science, this condition is described as a chronic disease condition and very difficult to treat with various treatment modalities. Among various formulations described in Ayurvedic classics, Savarnakara yoga is the first choice of many Ayurveda practitioners as Bakuchi (Psoralia corilifolia Linn.) and Haratala (Orpiment) are main ingredients of it. Aims and Objectives- It was planned to evaluate the efficacy of Savarnakara yoga in two different topical forms i.e. Lepa and ointment. Total 60 patients having classical signs and symptoms of Shvitra were selected and randomly divided into two groups. Savarnakara Lepa and Savarnakara Ointment were prescribed for local application in Group A and Group B respectively. 20ml Kanakabindvarishta with equal quantity of water was given twice a day after meal as internal medication in both groups. Results- In both the groups, statistically highly significant improvement was found in cardinal symptoms of Shvitra; but it was statistically insignificant when compared each other. Conclusion- Both the forms of Savarnakara yoga along with Kanakabindvarishta were found as a safe remedy in vitiligo with significant pigment regenerating capacity as topical use after the application of 2 months.

Introduction: Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease causing high morbidity and mortality. Quality of life hampers due to its chronic nature and painful crisis in children. Permanent cure is not possible as of now, except successful bone marrow transplantation. Considering symptomatology and nature of disease, it can be compared with Pandu, under the heading of Adibala Pavrutta Vyadhi. The chronicity indicates Asadhya nature of the disease. If some medication improves the quality of life and maintain the health of patient, then such medications and efforts become helpful for society. Material and Methods: A 13 year old male patient diagnosed to be suffering with sickle cell anemia with symptoms of severe pain in joints, limbs and abdomen, weakness, anorexia and weight loss approached the OPD, department of Kaumarbhritya, S G Patel Ayurveda Hospital, Anand. Observations and Results: Mother and father are sickle cell trait (HbAS). Patient has tried modern medicine with no benefit in pain crisis. So they came here and treated with Ayurvedic medications for 6 months, during which he had not experienced any pain crises. 1.20% of decrease in HbS (sickle hemoglobin) was found. Weight is also improved from 37 kg to 43 kg. Child is now playing cricket and kabbadi without any sickle cell crisis. Conclusion: So this case study is intended to explore the pathophysiology and management of sickle cell anemia from Ayurvedic per view and to explore the probable mode of action of medications.
镰状细胞性贫血是一种高发病率和高死亡率的遗传性疾病。生活质量因其慢性性质和儿童的痛苦危机而受到阻碍。到目前为止，除非成功进行骨髓移植，否则无法永久治愈。考虑到症状学和疾病的性质，它可以与Pandu进行比较，在Adibala Pavrutta Vyadhi的标题下。慢性表明该疾病的慢性本质。如果一些药物改善了患者的生活质量，维持了患者的健康，那么这些药物和努力就会对社会有帮助。材料与方法:一名确诊为镰状细胞性贫血的13岁男性患者，以关节、四肢和腹部剧烈疼痛、虚弱、厌食和体重减轻为症状，来到阿南州S G Patel Ayurveda医院kaumarbhtriya部OPD就诊。观察与结果:母亲和父亲均为镰状细胞特征(HbAS)。病人尝试了现代药物，但在疼痛危机中没有任何效果。所以他们来到这里，用阿育吠陀药物治疗了6个月，在此期间他没有任何疼痛危机。镰状血红蛋白(HbS)下降1.20%。体重也从37公斤增加到43公斤。孩子现在打板球和卡巴迪，没有任何镰状细胞危机。结论:本病例研究旨在从阿育吠陀医学角度探讨镰状细胞性贫血的病理生理和治疗，并探讨药物的可能作用模式。

Background: It is known that hepatitis E virus (HEV) is zoonotically transmitted to humans and while other forms of hepatitis have been in focus for drug and vaccine development, HEV related mortality in case of pregnant women has raised upto 20%. Methods: HEV proteins, were successfully extracted from 22 pig stool samples and the presence of HEV capsid antigen encoded by the open reading frame 2 (ORF2) was confirmed suing dot blot and western blotting in 4 samples. HEV proteins were inoculated in pig epithelial cells (CLAB) and pig and goat macrophage cell lines (PoM2 and GOMA) to develop an in vitro model for observing the cytopathic effects (CPE). The HEV infected cell cultures were subjected to extracts obtained from Kaempfaria galanga (Galangal), Mimosa Pudica (Touch me not), Coleus aromaticus (Doddapatre) and Paederia foetida (Stinkvine). Results: We showed that a single treatment of 56.34 ug/ml HEV protein for 3 hours induced characteristic growth patterns of cells until 4 passages.

Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb. is commonly known as alligator weed. In India especially in West Bengal, it is used as vegetable and useful in diabetes, influenza, diarrhea, dysentery etc. There is no as such report to be identified the plant microscopically, especially to determine the microscopical standard. Here the study was done with the shoot part of the plant with the aim to standardize the plant microscopically. Important diagnostic characters like sclerenchymatous fibre, inter fascicular cambium, spiral vessels, calcium oxalate crystals, multi and unicellular unbranched trichomes etc were observed. The preliminary phytochemical study revealed the presence of various functional groups like phenols, alkaloids, saponin etc. The findings of the current study can be useful for further scientific investigation of the plant.

An attempt has been made to present the therapeutic uses of flowers that are used in Ayurveda and Siddha system of Medicine. Separate chapters have been dedicated to flowers in the ancient texts like Bhavaprakasha Nighantu . Likewise Siddha Vaidya has described the therapeutic utility of medicinal flowers. It is interesting to note that out of 38 medicinal flowers tabulated, about 25 flowers have some similar indications in Ayurveda and Siddha system of medicine. In some instances, the properties of the flower may differ from the properties of other parts of the plant, for example, Arka{Calotropis gigantea (Linn.) R. Br.} Pushpa (flower) is madhura (sweet in taste) tikta (bitter) and is used as Kustagna, Krimigna (anthelmintic) whereas Arka ksheera (latex) is tikta (Bitter) and hot in potency. Similarly, Nirgundi (Vitex negundo Linn.) is a tree, whose other parts have ushna veerya (hot in potency). However, the pushpa is sheeta veerya (cold potency). Some special properties have been attributed to certain flowers like anti cancerous property is possessed by Vinca rosea(Sadapushpi) flower. Punica granatum L. (Dadima), flower has styptic properties, hence used in the form of juice for epistaxis (condition characterized by bleeding through the nostrils (Rakta pitta), similarly Justicia adhatoda L.(Vasa) flowers have Kashaya (astringent) Kasahara (antitussive) properties. The most popular flower buds of Lavanga { Syzgium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & Perry} (forms the clove, which has been used as a spice as well the clove oil being used in dental problems. The most popular narcotic “Papaverine” is obtained from the flowers of Ahiphena (Papaver somniferum L.) Thus, flowers have got a distinct place in the plant kingdom as well in the field of Ayurveda and Siddha system of Medicine. Thus, the present review of medicinal flowers not only provides recognition to this knowledge, but also helps in its conservation vis-a-vis providing pharmacological leads for the betterment of human society.

Rauvolfia serpentina (L). Benth. ex Kurz. (Apocynaceae) commonly known as Sarpagandha, is an important medicinal plant. It is rapidly disappearing and is now listed as an endangered species. The seeds are non-viable and regeneration with seeds also does not allow true-to-type multiplication. Therefore, the study influence of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) in plant renaissance of Rauvolfia serpentina was undertaken to examined the role of (IBA) for their stimulatory effects on Rauvolfia serpentina. The germplasm was collected from different sites of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, Twenty cuttings were planted in four replications. Four IBA treatments viz. 4000 ppm, 5000 ppm, 6000 ppm and 7000 ppm and control were applied. Data on rooting and plant percent were recorded after twelve weeks of planting. In this study Rauvolfia serpentina, 7000 ppm IBA generally showed better rooting and plant percent than other IBA concentrations. Rooting percentage among all germplasm collections and all IBA concentrations, except control, ranged from 50.0 to 62.5 per cent while plant percent varied from 45.0 to 56.3 per cent. The performance of 4000 ppm was significantly lower than 7000 ppm. Thus, irrespective of source of germplasm, this species could be reliably propagated with 7000 ppm IBA.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic condition of the joints characterised by deep achy pain, stiffness and reduced range of motion. OA can be correlated with Sadhigatavata in Ayurveda. But when it get affected with complications like synovium inflammation, Raktanubhandhatwa (blood vitiation) occurs and we can brought it under Âkroshtukasheera which is a Vatashonitha vyadhi. In Ayurveda, primary treatment of choice for Vatashonitha is Snehana (oleation) and Raktamoksha (Blood letting). A case of OA was managed at the OPD level by means of blood letting therapy and found to be effective. Case report: A treatment protocol was designed based on the signs and symptoms of the patient and administered. Snehana followed by Virechana (purgation) and Sha mana (pacification) was done initially. Later 4 sittings of Raktamoksha was done by modified Shringavacharana ie by cupping therapy, in two months duration. Result & Conclusion: Blood letting therapy was found to be effective in managing the knee joint pain and associated dysfunction. Quality of life of the patient was improved, as he could walk in a pain-free environment. Patient of OA should be given a choice against pain management therapies like knee arthroscopy and arthroplasty. This can be achieved by proper evaluation of the therapies adapted here and reproducing the same in a larger group.

Introduction: Negligence or improper methods of oral hygiene lead to Dantasharkara, which can be compared with dental calculus. Scaling is the first treatment for the removal of all kind of calculus. Prevention of plaque is most important after scaling to prevent recurrence of calculus. Ayurvedic methods for oral hygiene can serve this purpose. Aims and objectives: To assess the effectiveness of Dantashodhana Churna Pratisarana after scaling in preventing the recurrence of the disease. Materials and methods: It was a randomized, open-label parallel group trial. Ultrasonic scaling was done in both groups; in one group trial drug was used after scaling. Total thirty patients, fifteen in each group completed the treatment.
