Sushruta samhita is a popular, ancient Ayurvedic surgical text composed by Maharshi Sushruta around the 6th century BCE. Sushruta samhita does not contain Indriya sthana (prognostic section), hence various emergency conditions associated with poor prognosis or red flags (Arishta lakshana) were documented in Sutra sthana (from the 28th to 33rd chapters). Research in Ayurvedic prognosis is scarce and the prognostic potential of the contents mentioned in Sushruta Sutra Sthana (SSS) requires exploration. Chaaya Vipratipatti Adhyaya (CVA) is the 31st chapter of SSS and it contains the description of various fatal conditions within 32 verses. The present study aimed to explore and analyze the contents documented in the CVA chapter of SSS with the help of contemporary prognostic literature. Thirty-two verses of the current chapter denote various progressive chronic illnesses, carcinomas, opportunistic infections seen in a vulnerable population, cachexia, end-stage organ failure, dementia trajectories, complications of critical illnesses, iatrogenic and idiopathic fatal conditions, and bad omens associated with death and senescence. Various new insights generated by the present explorative study may open the doors for further research into the development of novel prognostic models and factors.

Chronic pancreatitis progressively damages the pancreas and results in the loss of its function. Constant and disabling pain or pain in the form of recurrent attacks of pancreatitis is usually the main symptom. The available conventional treatments may provide temporary pain relief and manage the complications but cannot arrest the progression of the disease. In the early stages of illness, its diagnosis remains challenging and therapeutic challenges are faced by clinicians due to its development into adenocarcinoma and if it is not treated early, resulting in steatorrhea, diabetes, local complications, and associated psychosocial issues. In Ayurveda, this disorder can be correlated with Grahaṇi (~derangement of Agni situated in Grahaṇi) and is clinically characterized by indigestion, decreased appetite, pain in the abdomen, and nausea caused by Agnisada (~diminution of digestive power). The principle of treatment is Vata pitta shamaka-kriya (~remedies which balance the Vata and Pitta dosha), Mriduvirechana (~ mild purgation), and use of Yakrutottejaka (~hepatostimulant), Pramehaghna (~pancreas protective), and Rasayana (~rejuvenating) formulations. In this case report, a 30-year-old female patient, a known case of chronic pancreatitis with recurrent abdominal pain for the last 2½ years, was managed effectively with Ayurvedic medications. The outcome assessment was based on the changes in the visual analog scale, the need for analgesics, improvement in appetite, digestion, and hemoglobin level, restoration of serum lipase level, and changes observed in symptoms after 42 days of treatment. Recurrence of pain was not observed during the follow-up period. The case infers that Ayurvedic medicines can offer an excellent approach to the management of pancreatitis.

The Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) under the Ministry of Ayush is the apex body in India for formulating, coordinating, developing, and promoting research on scientific lines in Ayurveda. Since its foundation in 1969, it has been engaged in the areas of Clinical Research, Medicinal Plant Research (Medico-Ethno Botanical survey, Pharmacognosy, and Cultivation), Drug Standardization, Pharmacological Research, Literary Research and Documentation, and various outreach activities through its 30 peripheral institutes/centers/units across the country and also through collaborative studies with various academic and research institutes in India and abroad. The present paper aims to highlight the contributions of CCRAS in the field of research and development in Ayurveda since its inception. Data related to research and development in different domain areas were compiled from the respective sections. This paper provides information on the significant achievements of the Council in the various areas of research and development along with public health care services for Ayurveda scholars, researchers, academicians, and other stakeholders in the field of research and development in Ayurveda.

Introduction: Gairikadya malahara is a classical ointment formulation described in Rasa Tarangini. This drug is used externally to treat chronic ulcers. Despite many available ointments, the need of broad spectrum and innocuous dressing material is always obligatory. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial action of Gairikadya malahara on common microbial flora (Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) present over the granulation tissue. Materials and Methods: The drug was prepared by the standard protocol as mentioned in the literature. The physiochemical, heavy metal, and microbiological analyses were performed to standardize the formulation. Antimicrobial study was conducted to see the in vitro action of the drug over bacteria and fungus. Results: The prepared drug was found within prescribed physiochemical, heavy metal, and microbiological parameters as mentioned in the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India. It was found that a higher concentration (100 mg/mL) of Gairikadya malahara is effective against Bacilus cereus (MTCC 6840), S. aureus (MTCC 737), Escherichia coli (MTCC 1687), P. aeruginosa (MTCC 424), Salmonella typhi (MTCC 98), S. epidermidis (MTCC 96), Enterococcus feacalis (MTCC no. 439), and Candida albicans (MTCC 227). Conclusion: Gairikadya malahara is innocuous and effective to prevent infection over the granulation surface. Drug standardization with physiochemical analysis, heavy metal analysis, and microbial testing suggests that the classical method of Malahara preparation is up to the mark. Further, a clinical study to evaluate the healing of chronic nonhealing ulcers may be recommended.

Ayurveda is the age-old medical system in India and probably the oldest medical science. Ayurveda is still practiced as a leading healthcare measure in India and has been spread globally. The journey was not smooth; many obstacles came in the way of the existence of Ayurveda. The most difficult hurdle came during the British rule in India. The British rulers introduced and established their knowledge and culture at the cost of traditional Indian heritage and culture. As traditional knowledge of medical science in India, Ayurveda also faced challenges. The Ayurvedic physicians from Bengal, by the able leadership of Kaviraja Gangadhar Ray and others, had protected successfully the traditional Ayurvedic knowledge in Bengal in particular and in India in general. They had established Ayurvedic treatment centres (~Chikitsalaya), pharmacies for the production of Ayurvedic medicines on a large scale, and institutions (Tol/Chatuspathi) for providing free Ayurvedic knowledge to the students. Disciples of the Bengalee Ayurvedic Guru have spread throughout India and protected this great knowledge of medical science at that time. The condition of Ayurveda in India and the contribution of Ayurvedic physicians to protect Ayurveda in British India have been highlighted in this article.
