Abstract

APPLICATION OF GUNA VIKALPA

“HITTING THE BULL’S EYE”

Sreehari Menon, Dept of Samhita Samskrita Sidhanta

       

Ayurveda, the science of life is the dynamic interaction between sharira and aushadha. This interaction is based on the fact that both aushadha and sharira are composed of the different permutation and combination of the same gunas. This structural similarity is due to the fact that both are composed of panchamahabhootas. Therefore in deciding the treatment of a particular disease, the analysis based on gunas and its amsha amsha kalpanas become important. Guna vikalpa is applied for the better understanding of the disease and the aushadha for getting the maximum efficacy of the treatment. This presentation highlights the diverse applications of guna vikalpa in day to day clinical practice for improving our clinical precision by hitting the bull’s eye.

Ratheesh V V, Dept of Samhita Samskrita And Siddhanta

 

Sadvritta refers to the code of conduct to be practiced for healthy living. All the Brihatrayis are unanimous in the significance of sadvritta in the context of swasthya. The tenets of sadvritta comprises of personal, social, interpersonal, occupational, ethical and spiritual values which ensures a wholesome living. A deeper analysis reveals that the underlying spirit of sadvritta is eternal in nature and the change occurs only at the level of execution. This change is necessitated by the demands of the changing times. Thus it becomes established that sadvritta refers to the eternal values for the changing society. This presentation is intended to enhance the appreciation of the fundamental and practical utility of sadvritta.

A CASE STUDY ON PTOSIS

Ptosis is the medical term for drooping of upper eyelid. It occurs when the muscle that raise the eyelid are not strong enough to do so properly. It may also occur due to the malfunctioning of nerves controlling the lid muscles & as complication of vascular diseases such as diabetes. It can effect one eye or both eyes & is more common in the elderly patients. Ptosis does not improve with time and requires accurate management. If left untreated it can permanently damage vision by forcing the unaffected eye to do all the work while letting the affected eye degenerate. Correcting of ptosis should be done only after determining the primary cause. 

In our classics the disease vatahata is mentioned as an asadhya roga. But many of the patients with the same complaint have shown marked improvement by the proper management in our department. This paper includes such a case of ptosis which showed marked improvement with ayurvedic management.

Refractive errors is a very common eye disorder, a frequent reason for reduced visual acuity. Among them, myopia is the most commonest one predominantly seen during childhood and early adolescence. Myopia is a condition in which the patient had difficulty in seeing distant objects along with blurring of vision. So many factors are there in supporting aetiologies, but in fact these hypotheses are not proven successfully. Recent studies have shown that scientists have isolated the gene responsible for myopic people. Simple and Pathological varieties of myopia are more commonly seen in our OPds. 

This paper also contains ayurvedic management using internal and local medicines. Eye exercises play an important role in toning up of eye muscles. Pathya aharas and viharas said in our classics also helps in improving vision.
