The pandemic context has reproduced a lot of information about health regulations, strongly oriented by useful scientific schemes. However, there are other humanitarian ways to take care of health affectations, beyond biologically measured facts, but an emotional component with transformational potential in the organism, which requires listening to the wisdom of the body's nature, as an expression of spirituality. In fact, mindfulness and epigenetics focus on the wisdom of the body's nature. As a consequence, in the next paragraphs, several academic works have been reviewed related to mindfulness and body, and epigenetics not just in humans, but also in animals and trees. This approach is based on the idea that an inclusive project requires to transcends the human being and paying attention to the integration of natural beings. As a methodical approach, the bases come from sociocritical paradigms and depth-hermeneutics. The aim is to create a dialectical social health discussion by considering different ideological constructions. This communication is a contribution to health educational projects, which implies criticizing the practices that have been reproduced for years, with their strong intercultural and unconscious connections.

A new area of research known as ayurgenomics was established by integrating the Tridosha and Prakriti principles with genomics. Throughout the past few years, various studies have been undertaken and published. In order to determine the research hotspots and trends, we retrieved the published literature of ayurgenomics from the dimension data base and performed a bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer to examine keywords, authors, nations, and organizations. A total of 32 suitable publications were examined between the years of 2011 and January 2023, with the most publications occurring in the year 2022. The analysis revealed an increasing trend in the number of publications. Mitali Mukerji and Bhavna Parashar were found as most active researchers in ayurgenomics. Publications came from four nations: India, China, the United States, and Denmark, with India having the highest number (18) of publications. The keywords with the highest occurrences were medicine (54) Ayurveda (53) and Prakriti (50). This bibliometric study revealed that there are limited numbers of publications on ayurgenomics. It is still a relatively new field and more research is needed to fully understand its potential benefits and limitations.

Introduction: Kaphaketu Rasa (KKR) is a classical herbomineral formulation mentioned for the treatment of deranged Kapha (~Dosha responsible for regulating body fluids and keeping the body constituents cohesive). It is made-up of Shuddha tankana (processed Borax), Pippali (Piper longum Linn.), Shankha bhasma (incinerated conch shell), Shuddha vatsanabha (Aconitum chasmanthum Stapf ex Holmes). Though, an important formulation, no published data is available till date. Herein, an attempt has been made to develop the preliminary profiles by following standard methods. Materials and Methods: KKR was manufactured by following the methods mentioned at Ayurvedic Formulary of India. The individual ingredients were processed and mixed thoroughly, levigated with the juice of ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc). The preliminary analytical profile was developed by following the standard methods mentioned in respective volumes of Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India. Results: About 41.9% increase in the yield was noticed in the manufacturing of KKR. The High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography profile of KKR revealed eight bands at 254 nm. X-ray diffraction showed calcite (CaCO3) as a major compound with an amorphous shape and structure. Inductive coupled plasmaoptical emission spectrometry analysis revealed the presence of mercury (1.05 mg/kg), lead (2.17 mg/kg), arsenic (3.43 mg/kg), calcium (9549.75 mg/kg), and cadmium (0.03 mg/kg). Conclusion: The preliminary profile developed can be considered as baseline data for future studies.

Introduction: Ayush Sanjivani is a mobile application launched by the Ministry of Ayush to gather information regarding the acceptability and extent of utilization of Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa, and Homoeopathy (Ayush) advocacies for the prevention of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). The mobile application has different modules to garner the desired information regarding the trends of use of Ayush measures by the Indian public and practitioners. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine the trends of the utilization of Ayush measures by the beneficiaries for the prevention of COVID-19 and to determine the benefit obtained in terms of self-reported parameters of general well-being, the overall impact on general health, and in preventing the onset of flu or COVID-19 like symptoms such as fever, chills, headache, muscle or body aches, cough, sore throat, and runny nose. Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken to analyze the data generated through the “Ayush Sanjivani mobile application” from May to July 2020. The responses generated in terms of demographic profile, utilization pattern, benefits obtained, the interventions used, and the data of beneficiaries in terms of geographic location and the interventions prescribed were analyzed statistically to assess the trends of the utilization of Ayush measures for prophylaxis as reported by the Ayush practitioners. Results: Data of 74,568 Ayush physicians and 13,521,245 beneficiaries/health seekers were used for the analysis. Ayush advocacies/measures were utilized by 69,195 (92.8%) physicians for prophylaxis. Samshamani vati, Chyavanprasha, and Arsenicum album-30C were the most commonly used Ayush interventions. Improvement in terms of appetite, bowel movements, sleep, mental well-being, stamina, preexisting disease, and disposition was reported by 42,400 (61.3%) physicians. Maximum beneficiaries were from the state of Gujarat followed by Madhya Pradesh. Arsenicum album 30°C was the most commonly prescribed/distributed intervention among the beneficiaries/health seekers. Conclusion: Maximum physicians reported utilization of Ayush prophylactic measures for the prevention of COVID-19. A large number of health seekers were provided Ayush prophylactic measures across various geographical locations in India.

Carakasaṁhitā (1500 BCE) is the most important and widely popular classical compendium of Ayurveda written by Ācārya Agniveśa based on the preaching of Lord Ātreya. The text underwent various forms of metamorphosis at the various points of time over the period of three and half millennium years. Various portions of the texts were added and some other alterations have been done to the text. Pāṭhabheda or variant readings refer to differences in the text that appear in multiple copies of a manuscript. This helps to reconstruct the history of a text and gain a deeper understanding of the cultural and historical context in which it was produced and transmitted. Four commentaries were taken into consideration for the current study. The total number of variants of readings found was 3656, which were categorized into six subgroups namely Pañcanidāna (related to diagnosis), Dravya (related to drugs of different sources like minerals, animals, and plants), Siddhānta (related to principles), Cikitsā (modality, methods of treatment), Auṣadha yoga (related to formulations), and Samanya (general terms). The Pāṭhabheda (variant readings) found in Carakasaṁhitā should be analyzed scientifically and those are to be considered as a part to enrich the wisdom and as tools to understand the wide range of practical implementations of all aspects and clinical practice in a better way.

Since ancient times medicinal plants are regarded as rich sources of therapeutic agents for the prevention of various diseases. Synthetic pharmaceuticals dominated the market for centuries, but in recent years, the use of traditional medical systems such as Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa, and Homoeopathy have grown significantly and their demand has increased to many folds. Particularly ever since the pandemic spread across the country, this demand is witnessed more. Most of the drugs in these systems come from nature, so they are considered safe. However, this is always not true. In such a scenario, it becomes essential to continuously monitor these medications to dispel notions about them and to build public trust on scientific lines. Pharmacovigilance is such a system, which covers activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects of drugs. The pharmacovigilance system for Ayush drugs was established in 2007 in the Indian context. To ensure effective implementation; the same program has been restructured by the Ministry of Ayush, under the Central Sector Scheme in 2017. The current program is making efforts to promote understanding, education, and inculcating reporting culture among Ayush stakeholders including health professionals and the public as well. Besides this, the program is also involved in the surveillance of misleading advertisements appearing in print and electronic media.
