                         ABSTRACT

Poothikarna is a disease affecting the ear characterised by thick, profuse and foul smelling discharge. Pain may or may not be associated. The disease is kapha pitha pradhana.Considering the signs and symptoms of Poothikarna, it resembles Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) and Otitis Externa. CSOM is a long standing infection of a part or whole of the middle ear cleft characterized by discharge and permanent perforation of the tympanic membrane. Diffuse otitis Externa is the diffuse inflammation of meatal skin which may spread to involve the pinna and epidermal layer of tympanic membrane. Long time complication of CSOM include Conductive Hearing Loss and even spread of infection to neighbouring areas which may even become fatal. General treatment described is Nadivrana and Dushtavrana cikitsa. Other treatment include meticulous mopping of the ear, Dhoopana, Gandoosha, Nasya along with internal medications.Jalookavacharana and Vamana are also indicated in specific cases. Current modern management suggest dry mopping, antibiotics topically and internally, inspite of all these remedial measures the rate of recurrence is high. The usage of pichuvarti is expected to provide faster relief and reduction in recurrence rate of Poothikarna. A special formulation phanita made from Surasadi or Aragwadhadi gana are indicated for this purpose. Aragwadhadi gana drugs are kapha pithaghna, Kandughna, krimghna, twachya and dushtavrana sodhana in nature. Guggulu panchapala choorna drugs also have kaphahara and vrana hara properties. Pichuvarti medicated with Aragwadhadi gana phanita was inserted into the affected earcanal after ear mopping and retained for 30 minutes along with oral administration of Guggulupanchapala choorna with madhu. The procedure was repeated for 14 consecutive days. The study design was an interventional pre and post study without control group.This study was designed as a clinical trial with 22 participants diagnosed with Poothikarna as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. Assessment was done before treatment, after treatment and during followup. Follow up was done on 46 th day after treatment. The result was statistically analysed with Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. From the study it was concluded that Guggulupanchapala choorna and Aragwadhadi gana phanita is effective in reducing the signs and symptoms of Poothikarna. Keywords - Poothi karna, CSOM, Diffuse Otitis Externa, Pichuvarti, Guggulu panchapala choorna, Aragwadhadi gana phanita.

                  ABSTRACT

Effect of selected samskaras on the nutritive value of nava and purana

rakthaśāli with special reference to 'saṁskāro hi guṇāntarādhānam uchyate'

 *Anagha V S

 **Dr Resmi B. MD (Ay)

Ayurveda has given much importance to wholesome diet that is prerequisite for the promotion

of health and prevention of diseases. Much emphasis is given to factors like processing and

rules of healthy eating along with quality of food substance. Samskara is an act of processing

that result in transformation of guna of substances, either āhāra or auṣadha. Rice is the primary

meal of over 50% of people on earth and rakthaśāli, a variety of rice is considered best among

them. Lāja, pr̥ thuka and Anna are various forms of rakthaśāli mentioned in classics after

different saṁskārās. Nava and purana rakthaśāli is mentioned separately in the pathyās of

diseases as there are differences in gunas.

The study was done to determine the effects of selected saṁskāras on the nutritive value of

nava and purāṇa rakthaśāli by analytical methods. Samples of nava and purāṇa rakthaśāli were

processed into lāja, prithuka, and anna employing various saṁskārās – toyasannikarṣa,

agnisannikarṣa, toyāgnisannikarṣa, śoucha, kuttana and kāla prakarṣa. Nutritional analysis was

done on protein, fat, carbohydrate, energy, iron, sodium, moisture, dietary fiber, and ash content

using standard analytical protocols. The results showed considerable changes in the nutritional

profile, with an enhancement in protein, fat, carbohydrates, and iron in pr̥ thuka, and an increase

in energy, iron, sodium, dietary fiber, and total ash in lāja. An increase in moisture content and

a reduction in all other values were observed in anna. These observations obtained through the

nutritional analysis of different samples of rakthaśāli support the concept of saṁskāra resulting

in guṇāntarādhāna.

                                                        ABSTRACT

Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a significant global health concern, contributing to substantial morbidity and mortality. Based on WHO reports, over 3 million people are affected by MI worldwide, and more than 1 million deaths occur annually. Prabhakara Vati, one of the formulations mentioned in Bhaishajya Ratnavali Hridroga Chikitsa, has potential cardioprotective effects. In this study, we investigate the protective role of Prabhakara Vati against isoproterenol (IS0)-induced myocardial infarction in male Wistar albino rats. Rats were divided into six groups, each containing six rats. As normal control, IS0 control, pretreatment with propranolol (10 mg/kg) as positive control, and pretreatment with Prabhakara vati (low, therapeutic, high dose) for 21 days orally. MI was induced in all groups except the normal control, with concurrent subcutaneous injections of ISO (50 mg/kg at 24 intervals) on the 20th and 21st days. Blood samples were collected on the 22nd day, the animals were sacrificed, their hearts were taken out, and they were processed right away for histopathological examinations. Cardiac biomarkers like troponin, creatine kinase (CK-MB), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were assessed to determine the effect. 

 Results show the ISO control group presented with a significant increase in serum marker enzymes compared to the normal group. In its therapeutic and double doses, pre-treatment with Prabhakara vati shows reduced biomarker levels in ISO-induced MI groups compared to the ISO control group.

                                                        ABSTRACT

Raktayoni is a gynecological condition manifested as excessive bleeding per vaginum during menstruation. Excessive menstrual blood loss that interferes with a woman’s physical, social, emotional, or material quality of life is called Heavy menstrual bleeding, which is a form of Abnormal uterine bleeding. In India, the reported prevalence of Abnormal uterine bleeding is around 17.9%. Nearly 30% of all gynecological outpatient attendants are for AUB. Traditionally it is managed with medical therapy and surgical intervention which are costly for common people and sometimes associated with side effects. In samprapti of Raktayoni, Rogadhishtana is Garbhasaya,i.e, Apana kshetra, and the main vitiated dosha is pitta rakta. Raktasthapana is the line of management advised by Acharyas in this condition. Acharyas have mentioned Vasti karma in Raktayoni in order to pacify vata especially apana vayu. Matra Vasti is a type of Sneha Vasti, which has been highly praised for its extensive and multi-dimensional use as it doesn’t cause any complication and it can be administered at any time to any age of person. Kasmarya kutaja ghrita mentioned by Acharya Charaka in Yonivyapat Chikitsa Adhyaya, while explaining the treatment of Raktayoni, indicated for Raktayoni, Arajaska and Putragni is used here in this study for administering Matra Vasti. As the drugs included in the yoga are mainly Kashaya Tiktha rasa, it helps to reduce the bloodloss, and Vata Pitta and Kapha samaka properties of drugs helps to balance the doshas vitiated. Study design is pre and post interventional with a sample size of 20, in the age group of 18-50 years who are diagnosed with Raktayoni, attending the OPD of Prasutitantra and Streeroga. Matra Vasti is administered for duration of 7 days starting from first day of menstrual cycle. Amount of blood loss is analyzed at the end of that menstrual using Pictorial Bloodloss Assessment Chart score. Data will be statistically analyzed using appropriate statistical technique.

                                                                    ABSTRACT

Lumbar spondylosis is a chronic, noninflammatory disease caused by degeneration of lumbar disc, vertebral bodies and facet joints of lumbar spine. These changes are often called as degenerative disk disease or spinal osteoarthritis. The common condition is marked by the breakdown of one or more of the disks that separate the bones of the spine. The disks provide cushioning between the vertebrae and absorb the pressure inflicted on the spine. Although most people experience some degeneration of the spine as they age, not everyone experiences back pain. Due to similar presentations Lumbar spondylosis can be correlated with Kateegraha mentioned in our classics. Shodhananga snehapana is a major procedure which has a major role in the whole outcome of shodhana. Sahacharadhi taila mentioned in Ashtangahridayam vatavyadhi chikitsa which is taken here for snehapana followed by virechana with Nirgundi eranda taila mentioned in Chikitsa manjari has a direct effect in vitiated vata at katee pradesha. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of Sodhananga snehapana with Sahacharadhi taila followed by virechana with Nirgundi Eranda taila in Lumbar spondylosis. Study design is an interventional study with pre-post assessment without control group. Participants of both sex aged between 30-60 years registered in OPD and IPD of Government Ayurveda Panchakarma hospital, Poojappura, Thiruvananthapuram diagnosed to have Lumbar spondylosis and satisfying inclusion criteria has been selected. The base line data has been collected through interview,observation and questionnaire. After collecting base line data, detailed history and examination has been done using clinical case proforma. A total of 20 participants has been selected for the study. They had been subjected to consecutive sampling and the intervention has been done for 25 days and follow up has been done 1 month after virechana. Deepana pachana has been done using Amruthotharam kasayam 48ml bd before food and Shaddharana choorna 6g bd with kasayam. Snehapana with Sahacharadhi Taila Chikkanapaka has been given according to Agni and Koshta of Participants. Snehapana was stopped after attainment of samyak snigdha lakshanas followed by abhyanga with sahacharadhi taila and ooshma sweda for 3 days. After that Virechana was done with Nirgundi eranda taila for 1 day. The participants were assessed before rookshana before and after snehapana , after virechana and after follow up with regards to changes in subjective parameters and Range of movements by Goniometry. Data will be statistically analysed using appropriate statistical technique.

                                                                   ABSTRACT

Cervical spondylosis is a chronic degenerative condition of the cervical spine that affects the vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs of the neck as well as the contents of spinal canal. Now a days, it is common in young and middle-aged people, due to sedentary habits and increase in over exerting working conditions. There is significant degenerative changes seen in 90% of men older than 50 years and 90% of women older than 60 years. In Ayurveda, cervical spondylosis can be clinically compared to Apabahuka, Viswachi or Greevastambha. Swedana is the treatment of choice for vata, kapha and vatakaphaja diseases. Rooksha sweda is indicated for kaphanubandha condition. Choornapindasweda is one of the main procedure that comes under rookshasweda. Choornapindasweda is believed to have a worthy role in the management of degenerative condition as it improves nourishment to the dhathus by removing the obstruction present in various srotas. Kanguchoornapindasweda mentioned in the vathavyadhi chikitsa of Yogamrutham is indicated in avabahuka. Kangu is bagnasandhanakara, brmhana, guru, rooksha, kaphahara, Considering both the dosa kopa and vitiated dosa sthana, kanguchoornapindasweda is selected. The baseline data has been collected through observation, interview and questionnaire. After collecting the baseline data, detailed examination has been done using clinical case proforma. Choornapindasweda has been done up to 35 minutes for 7 days. Changes in subjective parameters and range of movement by goniometry has been analysed before treatment, after treatment on the 8th day and follow up on 15th day after treatment. Data will be statistically analysed using appropriate statistical technique.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic, debilitating,chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder characterized by symmetric peripheral polyarthritis. It affects the lining of joints, causing painful swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and deformity. Due to similar presentations Rheumatoid arthritis may be correlated with Vatarakta mentioned in our classics. Vasthi has an important role in the Chikitsa of Vatasonitha as it removes the vitiated dosas from the body. In Vatarakta initial stage,Vata will be in Samavastha. It should be made Nirama by langhana, pachana etc. After that Doshadhika chikitsa should be followed. In this stage, nirooha vasthi which has Aamapachana,, vatakaphahara and shoola sothahara properties are essential.Navakarshika yoga of cakradutta vatarakta cikitsa is an ideal formulation having the above said properties. Objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of navakarshika vasthi administered continuously for 7 days in Rheumatoid arthritis patients. Study design is an interventional pre- post test. Participants of both sexes aged 30 to 60 registered in OPD and IPD of Government Ayurveda Panchakarma Hospital, Poojappura, Thiruvananthapuram diagnosed to have Rheumatoid arthritis and satisfying inclusion criteria were selected. The base line data has been collected through interview, observation and questionnaire. After collecting base line data, detailed history and examination has been done using clinical case proforma A total of 20 participants were selected by consecutive sampling and navakarshika vasthi has been done continuously for 7 days.The participants were assessed before and after the intervention ( ie, on 0th, 8th Day) with regards to changes in DAS 28 Scale,VAS, RA factor ,ESR and CRP. Data will be Statistically Analysed using appropriate statistical technique.

                                                             ABSTRACT

The disease Amlapitha is vividly described in different classical texts of Ayurveda like Kasyapa Samhita and Madhava Nidana. As per classics Amlapitha can be defined as a condition where already accumulated pitha in the body gets further aggravated by consuming virudha dushta vidagdha aharas that is incompatible food combinations, putrified foods, overburnt foods and drinks. The main clinical features of Amlapitha include avipaka, klama, utklesha, thikthamlodgara, hritkantadaha, guruta and aruchi. Excessive formation of vitiated pitha is the main pathological mechanism behind the manifestation of this disease. It is a pithavikruta annavaha srotovikara associated with vitiation of kledaka kapha. Here pithavikruti increases the quantity of dravarupa pachaka pitha and affects the quality of kledaka kapha. Symptomatically modern correlation of Amlapitha appears most similar to Functional Dyspepsia. Dyspepsia is a symptom complex connected to the gastro-duodenal region of gastrointestinal tract and includes postprandial fullness, early satiety, epigastric burning vomiting, nausea which has a significant impact on health. More than 50% of patients are on medications most of the time and have significantly reduced quality of life in comparison with the general population. Functional dyspepsia is a common ailment with possible causative factors being the change in lifestyle and food habits. Patients with functional dyspepsia account for about 80 percent of cases and have no structural explanation for the same. Even though pathophysiology cannot be accurately explained, studies point to disordered communication between gut and brain leading to motility disturbances visceral hypersensitivity and alteration in visceral microbiota mucosal and CNS processing. Psychological factors and stress are found to be aggravating factors and are attributed to pitta dosha. In amlapitta pitta and kapha are the key factors in pathology. This study is being undertaken in an effort to find an effective combination of medicines in the management.  It includes administration of Avipattikara churna with shankha bhasma and sharibadi panaka for 21 days. A   follow up of these patients is also done. Results of the study showed significant reduction in symptoms. Chi square value for comparing the effect of intervention on total score at different time periods was found to be significant and P value was less than 0.001. At 1% level of significance, there is a significant difference in total scores. It suggests that treatment can lessen the severity of the illness.

                                                                    ABSTRACT

Sleep, a physiological state of rest during which volition and consciousness are in partial or complete abeyance, plays a recuperative and adaptive function in human lives. Quality sleep acts as rejuvenator, enabling us to function at our zenith during working hours where deprivation of the same causes a lot of neurophysiological derailment in the body.

Insomnia is in fact, both a symptom as well as a disorder. If left untreated, insomnia increases the risk of developing diseases like depression, diabetes, hypertension and possibly even death in older individuals as per reported studies¹. Therefore it is very much essential to identify and treat the condition of insomnia at the earliest. ‘Sleep hygiene’ is the term used to describe good sleep habits.Considerable research has gone into developing a set of guidelines designed to enhance good sleeping, and there is much evidence to suggest that sleep hygiene are fairly inexpensive but much effective intervention. There are many medications used to treat insomnia, but these lead to dependence and interfere with one’s day to day activites, thereby prolonging sleep difficulties².

In Ayurveda, Nidra is one among the Trayopasthambha. Nidranasha is a nanatmaja vikara mentioned by Charaka³. Principle dosas involved are vata and pitta. Study to be carried out may be helpful in the management of Primary Insomnia in patients attending Kayachikitsa OPD and IPD Govt Ayurveda College Hospital Thiruvananthapuram. It is interventional pre and post single group with sample size of 20 participants fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria diagnosed as primary insomnia as per ICD11 criteria will be selected and subjected to detailed clinical examination according to clinical research proforma. The intervention includes trina panchamoola ksheera shirodhara for 45 minutes for a duration of 7 days followed by internal administration of Sankhupushpi choornam capsules for a duration of 14 days along with sleep hygiene. Quality and quantity of the sleep will be assessed. Proper evaluation before and after the intervention will be adhered to and follow-up will be done at the end of study. The results obtained will be statiscally analysed and concluded.

                                                                            ABSTRACT

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) refers to the presence of symptoms or signs of peripheral nerve dysfunction in people with diabetes mellitus after exclusion of other causes. Distal symmetrical neuropathy is the commonest, accounting for 75%  of DN. Over a period of time, the nerves gets affected, especially the peripheral nerves leading to Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN). DPN being a progressive complication phase of diabetes can be understood as Vata pitta predominant thridosha stage with concepts of Avarana, causing dhathukshaya .   The drugs used conventionally are mostly for relief in the symptoms and moreover a large population of patients began to  choose  among  alternative medicinal options, there comes the need for more research in Ayurveda medicines too.

 

According to Ayurveda classics, there is no direct nomenclature for DPN , but can be treated  under the spectrum of prameha upadrava involving thridosha dushti and dasa dathu dusthi. Diagnosis of DPN is done by Nerve Stimulation study and Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score. Effect of sundibaladwaya kwatha with ksheerabala 7 avarthi anupana is a previous study conducted in GAVC, TVM by Dr. Arunitha during 2017 which was found to be effective in DN, with a P value of 0.001 . In this study, along with the previous study drug , an external intervention of dhara with dhanyamla is  also included to assess the effect. Dhanyamla is dahasamana, sparsa seethala and vatha kapha samana. When administered as a Dhara procedure, it  facilitates  vasodilation as well as nerve stimulation and  helps in reducing occlusion,  thereby correcting the pathology of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy As a disease of chronic origin and deep seated pathology,Vatha predominant thridosha dushti may be considered ,for the symptoms of numbness and parasthesia Vatha- Kapha dushti and for symptoms like burning sensation, Pitha dushti can be accounted.Thus this intervention helps in samana of prakupitha vatha along with pacifying vitiated pitha and kapha.
