A study 2022 revealed that COVID -19 could cause disturbances to the immune system, leading to unusual mast cell activation that may cause allergic flare-ups. Long term usage of nasal decongestants, causes Rhinitis Medicamentosa (RM).

Evaluating the Anti-Inflammatory Impact of Virecana Karma with Manibhadra Guda in Psoriasis (Kitibhakushtha)
Get PDFKushtha is described in Ayurvedic texts as a stubborn skin disorder that falls under the category of Raktaja vikara’s. In modern parlance, can be correlated with psoriasis, a genetically determined autoimmune inflammatory skin disorder. It is characterized by thickened, red, and scaly itchy plaques, with a pathogenesis that remains unclear in contemporary medicine. The aim of this study is to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of Virecana by using inflammatory markers such as IL-6, hs-CRP, ESR, and the PASI score. Methodology: Pre and post interventional study, the treatment regimen included Amapacana with Citrakadi Vati, followed by 5 days of Snehapana with Murchita Go Ghrta, 3 days of Abhyanga and Atapa Sevana, and Virecana Karma with Manibhadra Guda for 1 day, followed by 7 days of Samsarjana Krama. Consequently, the active study duration ranged from 15 days. Inflammatory markers IL-6, hs-CRP, ESR, and PASI scores were assessed on the 0th day, after treatment (15th day), and one-month post-Virecana (45th day). Results: Statistical analysis revealed that the mean IL-6, hs-CRP, ESR, and PASI scores showed significant differences across the time points (BT, AT, and AF). Conclusion: It is concluded that IL-6, hs-CRP, ESR, and PASI scores were more effectively down-regulated after follow-up compared to after treatment, and both were significantly lower than before treatment
Role of Twagadi Gutika in Pain Management
Get PDFPain is any suffering or discomfort, whether physical or mental, brought on by an illness or injury. Regardless of how minor the pain is, it still causes discomfort and interferes with daily activities for the person. Pain is referred to in Ayurveda as the premonitory indicator and as symptoms of various diseases under different names, such as Shool, Ruja, and Vedana. Acharya Sushruta states that Vata Dosha is the primary source of all pain, or "Vatat Rute Nasti Ruja." Even with the latest developments in anaesthesia and pain management, managing pain is still difficult. Vata Dosha is regarded as the root cause of all types of pain. The nervous system and body movements are governed by the Vata Dosha. An imbalance in it can result into difficulty with joint mobility and function, which can exacerbate disorders like arthritis and musculoskeletal pain. Pain associated with Vata Dosha is frequently described as throbbing, aching, or acute in nature. Ayurveda may offer hope in a world where everyone is searching for ways to reduce and eliminate pain by helping people comprehend its true nature and offering fresh approaches to its management. Ayurveda provides a variety of treatment modalities to manage pain, depending on the origin, type, and duration of the condition. The present article aims at throwing light on one of the herbal preparations, Twagadi Gutika, mentioned in Ayurveda Samhita, for Vata dosha disorders and specifically for managing pain

Similarly, according to Ayurvedic classics the treatment\u27s quadruped (Chikitsa Chatushpada) also gives importance to Aushadha and positioned it next to the physician (Bhishaka). Various drug preparations are mentioned in our classics, and Gunja Taila is one of them described by different Acharyas. It is a Sneha Kalpana made of mainly four ingredients (Gunja, Bhrigraja, Tila Taila and Kanji) and is preferably indicated in Shiroroga. Ayurvedic drugs have the distinct nature of a complex blend of several secondary metabolites. An actual understanding of its ingredients is essential for avoiding adulteration.

Rapidly rising efforts in the field of studies of Ayurvedic drugs, in future will result in evidence based Ayurvedic medicine as well as new leads to drug development. In this article an effort is made to review proper identification of raw drugs used for Gunja Taila including understanding of its active ingredients and mode of action
Effect of Wet Cupping with Rasayana Chikitsa in Management of Alopecia Areata (Indralupt)
Get PDFAbstract: Alopecia areata, or Indralupt in Ayurveda, is a dermatological condition characterized by localized, non-scarring hair loss. It presents as circular or oval patches of baldness, primarily affecting the scalp. While its exact cause remains unclear, autoimmune factors are thought to play a significant role. Management typically involves a combination of topical and systemic treatments, including corticosteroids and immunomodulators which is not fully preventive or curative. Thus, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha Dosha i.e., Tridosha and Rakta Dushya are the causative factors of Indralupta. Materials and Method: Cup, Cupping pump, cotton ball or Swab, antiseptic solution, sterile lancets or scalpel, gloves. The patient was scheduled for wet cupping therapy, with a seven-day interval between each of the three sessions. Significant hair growth was observed after just one session. Raktamokshan, particularly Prachchanna (blood-letting, primarily scraping) is beneficial for removing vitiated Rakta if it is located in a specific area of the body, such as hair follicles. Result : After undergoing Wet Cupping and internal Rasayan drug for duration of one month, two patches of hair loss affected by alopecia areata were completely removed. Conclusion: This case report investigates the effectiveness of Raktmokshan, a traditional Ayurvedic therapy involving wet cupping, and Rasayan chikitsa in the management of alopecia areata (Indralupt). The case presents a patient with alopecia areata who underwent Raktmokshan therapy and observed outcomes over a defined period
