Concept of Nadi Pariksha and its Utility
Get PDFAyurveda is a science of health. Diagnosis of the diseases is done in various ways since ages in Ayurveda. A number of noninvasive, cost-effective diagnostic methods were evaluated. One of the primary diagnostic instruments in Ayurveda is the Ashtavidha Pariksha. In order to diagnose diseases, Acharya Yogaratnakara gave a detailed description of the funda-mentals of eight different types of investigation processes: Nadi, Mutra, Mala, Jivha, Shabda, Sparsha, Drik, and Akriti. Of these, Nadi Pariksha is an essential tool for diagnosing various Dosha and Deha conditions, such as reduced, hyper, mixed, or normal functions. It is a useful tool for practitioners to assess patients\u27 physiological and psychological states in addition to Tridoshas. So there is need to re-establish the information behind the Nadi Pariksha so that they can be used in minimal diagnosis and prognosis

A Understanding of Essential Hypertension Through Ayurved
No full textThere is no clear mention of hypertension in the Ayurvedic Classics. From an Ayurvedic standpoint, a number of hypotheses have been put up to explain hypertension, but none of them can be officially recognized. By using Dosha, Dushya, and Samprapti, a doctor can attempt to determine the etiology of an illness in cases when the patient\u27s symptoms are unclear, according to Ayurvedic law. According to Ayurveda, the participation of Vata pradhan Tridoshas in vitiated Doshas helps explain hypertension. The functioning of the different srotas of circulation is hampered by the Avarana of Vata Dosha by Pitta and Kapha, which is seen in the Rasa-Rakta Dhatus. Understanding hypertension fully from an Ayurvedic perspective has therefore been our top priority. Thus, in order to aid in both treatment and prevention, an attempt is made here to comprehend hypertension in terms of Ayurveda

Entire Pathogenesis Process of Disease Established Upon Shatkriyakala Concept
Get PDFAyurveda is a complete life science giving equal emphasis to both prevention and treatment of disease. It also has elaborated the manifestation of disease starting from etiology to complications. In the Sutrasthana\u27s Vran-Prashniya Adhyaya chapter, Acharya Sushrut has talked about Shatkriyakala in this context. The three sharir doshas—Pitta, Kapha, and Vata—are the primary drivers of all bodily activities. If there is an imbalance between these doshas, it can affect Dhātu and lead to a number of ailments due to specific reasons. It is crucial to understand how these doshas go through our bodies from now on. The terms Kriya and Kala, which denote time and treatment or action, respectively, make up the phrase Kriyakala. Kriyakala, then, refers to the period of therapy or chances within the course of a disease\u27s appearance. It also advises us on the best course of action and when to begin therapy. It includes six stages – Sanchaya, Prakopa, Prasara, Sthanasamsraya, Vyaktavasta, Bhedavasta

Pterocarpus Erinaceus Leaf Extracts Phytochemical Composition and Its Effect on Growth Performance and Intestinal Microbial Population of Weaned Rabbits
Get PDFIn Sumitra Research Institute, a total of 50 crossbred male rabbits with initial body weight of 486 ± 0.70 g and weaned at 28 days of age were individually housed in a specially constructed galvanized cage was used to examine the effect of Pterocarpus erinaceus leaf extracts (PELE) on the growth performance and intestinal microbial population of weaned rabbits. Rabbits were stratified based on their body weight and assigned to 5 groups with six animals with one animal per replicate in a completely randomized design. Experimental diet was adequate in all nutrients to meet the requirement of rabbits. Animals in group-1 was fed standard diet with 0 mL PELE while group-2, 3, 4 and 5 were fed standard diet with 0.2 mL, 0.4 mL, 0.6 mL and 0.8 mL/day respectively. Phytochemical evaluation of Pterocarpus erinaceus leaf extracts showed that it contained Flavonoids (112.61 mg/g CAE), terpenoids (87.52 mg/g CAE), phenols (106.39 mg/g GAE), alkaloids (91.53 mg/g ATE), tannins (40.88 mg/g TAE) and phytate (11.31 mg/g). Results on average daily weight gain in group-4 (1544.2 g) and 5 (1547.1 g) were similar (p>0.05) but significantly higher than those in group-1 (1197.8 g), group-2 (1311.28 g) and 3 (1383.9 g). Average daily feed intake were higher (p<0.05) in rabbits fed diet supplemented with PELE relative to group-1 (control). Best feed conversion ratio was recorded in group-4 (3.00) and 5 (3.00), intermediate in group-2 (3.28) and group-3 (3.20) and lower in group-1 (3.43). Microbial population of Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp were higher (p<0.05) in group-1 relative to the other groups. Conversely, Lactobacillus sp count were maximum in PELE supplemented diet relative to control (group-1). Supplementation of PELE at 0.8 mL/day can optimize the performance of rabbits and suppressing the activities of pathogenic-organisms without compromising the health status of animal

Ayurvedic Approach to Sickle Cell Disease WSR to Sannipatika Pandu: An Overview
Get PDFBackground: Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a genetic life-long blood disorder characterized by RBCs that assume an abnormal, rigid, sickle shape – sickling decreases the flexibility and results of the cell in a risk of various complications. The Valine amino acid is replaced by the Glutamic acid in the 6th position of the 11th chromosome of the Beta chain of the hemoglobin inside the RBCs. Due to that, the haemoglobin concentration of individuals is not maintained properly and there is a chance of multiple infections in seasonal variation. SCD can be compared with Sannipatika or Sahaja (hereditary) Pandu Vyadhi in Ayurveda, to understand the Ayurvedic perspective of SCD and all the related pathophysiology of Rakta Dhatu i. e. its Utpatti, Hetu, Lakshana, Samprapti, Chikitsa Siddhant, etc are taken into consideration in this context. SCD occurs more com-monly in people belonging to tropical & subtropical regions in malaria-prone areas. According to Ayurveda Beeja-Dushti play a major role in its pathogenesis. Aim: To establish a correlation between Sickle Cell Disease and Pandu Vyadhi. Material and Method: A comparison of literary materials from Ayurvedic classics specially Charak and Sushruta Samhita, in relation to modern texts and their available commentary as well as different webs. Discussion: The genetic basis of SCD is well established so, Beeja Dushtijanya Pandu/ Kulaja Pandu/ Anuvamshika Pandu may be some similarities with SCD. In the present context, the Doshika status of the disease can be analyzed as Vata-Pitta provocation along with the depletion of Kapha. Conclusion: In this study Genetic basis of SCD and Beeja Dushtijanya Pandu is correlated with both Modern and Ayurvedic points of view. Both show similarity in pathogenesis and in some clinical presentation, it can be concluded that Sickle cell disease and Beeja Dushtijanya Pandu/ Kulaja Pandu / Anuvamshika Pandu appears to be appropriate for correlation
