ABSTRACT
Urolithiasis is formation of calculi anywhere along the course of urinary tract. Urolithiasis can cause post- renal acute kidney injury via obstruction of urinary outflow often set off end stage renal disease (ESRD). Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is the treatment of choice which is not conducive because of side effects (internal bleeding, kidney damage) and high rate of recurrence (about 60% within ten years). There is a scope to find out a medicine which is effective with less side effect. Ashmari is one among the ashta mahagada.So the early diagnosis and proper treatment in proper time is very important in it.In the present study an effort is made to evaluate the Effect of Combination of kshara (Ash) of bark of varuna (Crataeva nurvala Buch – Ham) and yava (Hordeum vulgare Linn) along with guda (Jaggery) and ghrita(Cow’s Ghee) in Urolithiasis. The study drug varunadi kshara yoga is mentioned in Vangasena Samhita Asmari rogaadhikara. Kshara chikitsa is mentioned in treatment of ashmari. Study drug is easy to administer and if proven by clinical trial, drug can be used in the better management of urolithiasis.The trial drugs were subjected to preliminary phytochemical analysis.This study assess the the Effect of Combination of kshara (Ash) of bark of varuna (Crataeva nurvala Buch – Ham) and yava (Hordeum vulgare Linn) along with guda (Jaggery) and ghrita(Cow’s Ghee) in Urolithiasis in patients with size of stone between 2mm to 10 mm determined by Ultra Sonography of abdomen.Participants of age group of 20 to 65 years were selected as per inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. Primary outcome variables size of stone and secondary outcome variable like routine urine analysis (R.B.C, pus cells) and assessment criteria score were analysed before and after treatment. The pre and post data test data will be analysed statistically using paired t test and Wilcoxon ranked t test. Study concludes that the trial drug combination of kshara of bark of varuna (300mg) and yava (150mg) with ghrita(75mg), guda (75mg) administered once daily for 30 days is effective in reducing stone size and symptomatic relief of participants.

ABSTRACT
Hyperuricemia is defined as a serum urate concentration of
>6.8mg /dl for men and >5.7mg/dl for women. Worldwide, the prevalence of
hyperuricemia has increased substantially in recent decades. The most
well-known disease induced by hyperuricemia is gout. However, many studies have
reported that hyperuricemia also plays
important roles in cardiac-kidney vascular system disease and metabolic
syndrome. Hyperuricemia results from the increased production or impaired
excretion of metabolic product of purine metabolism, uric acid4. Since it is an
outcome of impaired uric acid metabolism, in Ayurveda this clinical entity can
be correlated to Kapha- Pitta pradhana mala sanchaya in the level of rasa-rakta
dhatu attributed by rasa –rakta dhatwagni mandhyam. The study drug Navakarshika
kwatham described in Chakradutta Vatarakta chikitsa shloka no23-25 is widely
used by Ayurvedic practitioners of kerala for treating hyperuricemia and its
complications and is a unique combination of ama pachana, agni deepana, rakta
prasadana, kapha-pittahara drugs. In this study clinical evaluation of
hypouricemic effect of Navakarshika kwatham will be done as interventional
study-pre and post Test without control group in 20 patients. The study setting
is OPD of Kayachikitsa, Government Ayurveda College
Hospital,Thiruvananthapuram. Patients in the age group of 30 -60 years, males
having serum uric acid levels above 6.8mg/dl and females having serum uric acid
levels above 5.7mg/dl will be included, drug Navakarshika kwatham administered
for 30 days and clinical assessment will done by estimation of serum uric acid
levels before and after the intervention.

morning and the second dose in the evening, one hour before food, with warm
water as anupana, for a period of 60
days. Non- randomized Pre and Post Interventional methods
were used as a study
design, in a population of 30
participants
, screened and assessed with Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-42
(DASS-42). Data were collected
and statistically analyzed
using Fisher’s exact test, Chi-Square Test, Karl Pearson’s correlation, and Spearman’s

ABSTRACT
Ulcerative
colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease of unknown aetiology that
results in inflammation and ulcers of colon and rectum. The primary symptoms of
active disease are abdominal pain, diarrhea mixed with blood and mucus,
tenesmus etc. and marked by alternating periods of exacerbations and remission.
Ulcerative colitis has evolved into a
global burden given its high incidence in developed countries and the
substantial increase in incidence in developing countries. In conventional
western medicine some drugs like sulfasalazine may give mild relief in symptoms
and signs but after sometime patients need more doses of the same drug. Some
patients get benefit with steroids such as prednisone which again are not
suitable because of their side-effects. Even after taking steroids and
sulfasalazine drugs patients suffer from the disease. So the patients are
always seeking some alternative therapy promising more effective and safer
outcomes.
The present study focuses on invitro
analysis of anti-inflammatory effect of Bhoonimbadi choornam in
Ulcerative colitis DLD1 colorectal cells. Bhoonimbadi choornam mentioned in the
context of visha atisara chikitsa (diarrhoea) under Vishopadrava pratisheda
adyaya in Ashtanga Samgraha uthara sthana. Atisara has long been recognized as
an important health problem in all age groups and is a major cause of morbidity
and mortality. The formulation contains
7 drugs such as Bhoonimba (Andrographis paniculata), Musta (Cyperus Rotundus), Katuka
(Picrorrhiza kurroa), Trayanti (Bacopa monnieri), Indrayava (Holarrhena
antidysenterica seed), Chitraka (Plumbago zeylanica) and Kutaja twak (Holarrhena
antidysenterica). The study evaluates the anti-inflammatory
effect of Bhoonimbadi choornam on Lipopolysaccharide activated DLD1 colorectal
cells by using inflammatory assays such as Cyclo oxygenase, Lipoxygenase, Myelo
peroxidase, Cellular nitrite and Inducible Nitric oxide synthase and results of
sample drug is compared with a standard anti-inflammatory drug Sulfasalazine
currently used in the treatment of Ulcerative colitis.

ABSTRACT
Psoriasis is recognized as the most prevalent
immune-mediated inflammatory disease, involving skin and joints and associated
with abnormalities of other systems. Palmoplantar psoriasis is a variant of psoriasis in which there are
erythematous, scaly, indurated at times fissured, plaques localized to palms
and soles. Though only small body surface area is affected but because of the
discomfort produced, this site of involvement carries a definite significance.
Palmoplantar psoriasis is such a disease which can’t be correlated exactly with
any disease mentioned in Ayurveda but to a certain extent based on its symptoms
it can be correlated with Vipadika, which is one of the type of Kshudrakushtha.
It involves predominantly Vata and Kapha dosha and characterized
by Pani-pada Sphutana(Fissure in palm and soles) and Teevra vedana
(with severe pain).
It was an interventional study with a sample size of 27 which was conducted in the OPD of Agadatantra department, Poojappura campus, Government Ayurveda college Thiruvananthapuram in the age group of 20-60 years of both sexes. Subjects satisfying inclusion criteria was selected and details were recorded as per the case proforma. The selected lepa which is prepared out of Karanja taila added with Tankana were given twice daily externally and punarnavadi kashaya 48 ml twice daily one hour before food internally for a period of 30 days. Follow up was done after 14 days. Assessment were done before treatment, after treatment and after follow up with the aid of ESFI score. Results were analysed statistically.

ABSTRACT
Dyslipidemia
is a contributing factor to the development of Atherosclerotic cardiovascular
disease and its effective management is an important goal. Modern management
has a wide range of pharmacological intervention but may produce side effects
on prolonged use. Clinical studies reveal that herbal medicines have much
effect in prevention and management of Dyslipidemia with minimal or no side
effects. The present study is to find out the combined effect of a medicated Syamaka yavagu with life style modification
in Dyslipidemia.
In
this Interventional study, 60 participants who diagnosed with Dyslipidemia by
using case proforma and laboratory investigations, satisfying inclusion and
exclusion criteria will be selected. 30 participants each, will be randomly allocated
to study group (Group A) and control group (Group B). The study group will be
given medicated Syamaka yavagu and life style modifications for
30days while the control group was kept on lifestyle modification only, for 30
days. The responses will be assessed on objective parameters especially lipid
profile before and after the study and after follow up of 30 days. The
collected data will be analyzed accordingly.
