TIME: 2:00-4:00 PM
VENUE: COLLEGE AUDITORIUM
Abstract
Breast milk is
the prime source of nourishment to a newborn baby. It improves the physical as
well as mental strength and immunity of the baby. In Ayurveda, unique concept
of sthanya dushti or milk vitiation has been described in which mother’s food
and activities affect the quantity and quality of the milk. The unwholesome
diet and lifestyle habits of the mother leads to vitiation of breast milk and
produces various diseases in the baby. It shows that not only the treatment of
baby is enough but also the treatment of vitiated breast milk is equally
important as it being the cause for morbidities in infants. In Ayurveda certain
herbs and formulations are specifically indicated for detoxifying the breast
milk and improve the quality of milk and there by the growth of baby along with
liberation from symptoms caused due to vitiation. Acharyas Vagbhata and
Sushrutha have mentioned about Vachadigana as Sthanya sodhanagana. On analyzing
the ingredients of the gana, it can be used in kapha dosha pradhana sthanya dusthi.

DISSERTATION TITLE: Development of a Multilingual Interactive Software Solution to assess Rasa Dhatu Kshaya in School age children
TIME: 2:00-4:00 PM
VENUE: COLLEGE AUDITORIUM
Abstract
Ayurveda is a unique science that explains the health status of an individual based on the equilibrium of the doshas, dhatus and malas. Dhatus are considered as the structural units of the body, among which rasa dhatu is the first formed dhatu from the essence of ahara rasa and which act as the precursor for the formation of rest of the dhatus. Rasa dhatu kshaya in children should be considered seriously as it badly affects the growth, development and immune status of the body. The COVID-19 pandemic has generated the need of more digital technologies to provide sufficient patient care. The present study aims at developing a user friendly Multilingual Interactive Software to assess the rasa dhatu kshaya in children of age group 6 -12 years. A pre-validated tool developed for the assessment of rasa dhatu kshaya is selected as the basic tool for the assessment of grading of rasa dhatu kshaya. A new questionnaire also will be developed to assess the etiological factors of rasa dhatu kshaysa and will be validated by subject experts. After validation by subject experts, the entire data will be translated to selected languages and finally the software will be developed. After the development of the software, the etiological factors and grading of the rasa dhatu kshaya of the school age children from the selected schools of Thiruvananthapuram district will be collected and further analyzed using appropriate statistical methods.
