C bancellor
Dr. Patangrao Kadam
M.A., LL.B., Ph.D.
I am indeed very happy to know that our College ofAyurved is organ izingthe
Global Ayurved Conference (G.A.C.) on 9-11 January 2009. At the outset, I
congratulate the Principal and the members ofthe faculty for this mega event which
will go in the annals of our organization, as a very significant event. Ayurvedic
system ofmedicine which is India's ancient indigenous system ofmedicine has seen
many ups and downs. It is gratifying to note that its now being accepted not only in
India but also abroad as a competent alternative to the modern allopathic system of
medicine. When I established this college I visualized that we could contribute
significantly to revive theAyurvedic medicine system and bring its lost glory back
and I am happy that this college has done sustantive work in that direction.
As a Chancellor ofthis University, I have noted with a sense ofpride that this
college has carved out for itself an important position among institutions of
Ayurvedic medicine in the country.
A conference of such a large magnitude would provide an appropriate venue
to the experts for an exchange of notes and views with each other. The deliberations
in this conference would be of an immense value to take the science ofAyurvedic
medicine still further. I do hope that this conference will be a landmark event, which
will stimulate the minds ofparticipants to go deep in this area.

Without bringing thc standards af the Ayurved colleges in ccnformity wilh the

Sanskrit from last 36 years" Which has ncw been lranslated from $a*skrit to

8. Message fro* Vice Chancellor
Prof. Dr. Shivajirao Kadam
It is indeed gratifing to note that Bharati Vidyapeeth University College of
Ayurved is organising a mega event of GlobalAyurved Conference and Health Expo in
January 2009.It is noteworthy that ours is the only univesity in India having Medical,
Dental,Ayurved, Homoeopathy, andNursing colleges, all in one campus. This college
is one of the reputed colleges ofAyurved in this part of the country and it is a matter of
pride that the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has accredited the college as a
research and development center.
Ayurved is an ancient system of medicine in India, which was once very
popular. It is considedred most sacred and sages regarded it as means to fulfill all the
pursuits of this world and beyond. Charaka Samhita defines Ayurved as the realized
knowledge of life and states four kinds of living in human being as 'Beneficial, non-
beneficial, happy and unhappy'. Knowing whatever is pleasant or unpleasant; and
beneficial, or harmful for the living being isAyurved's approach to Holistic Medicine.
There is a greater realization of the usefulness ofAyrrveda in the new Hi Tech
generation facing multiple health problems, hence the need to revitalize it. The
objectives of organizing this conference by our College and University are quite apt
and go well with the pressing needs faced in the nascent world of nano technology and
give stimulation to research activities inAyrrved.
I congratulate all those involved in the endeavor. I wish the conference to be a
great success.

Identity and Survival of Ayurveda- Problems and Possible Solutions
Prof. M. S. Baghel- IiC-V.C., IPGT& R, Jarnnagar
ln current scenario of Globalization world becane a global village. Global demand for Ayurveda
has increased many folds which has created a peculiar situation for Ayunieda and particularly its
education aspect all over the world. In India also, interest in Ayurveda is increasing due to various
reasons. Whole world is looking towards Ayuweda, but in lndia Ayurveda is still the second option
of the public.
There is a general feeling that present generation of Ayurvedic graduates are not well-versed in
Ayurvedic fundamental principles and practices. Same time, students studying in U.G. & P.G. courses
ofAyurveda feel frustrated and neglected due to present cuniculum ofAyurveda and in-efficiency of
teachers.
Many scientists and Ayurvedic researchers have adopted the principle of Modern diagnosis and
Ayurvedic treatment which led to the reluctance for the proper understanding of Ayurvedic
fundarnental principles. Modern scientific Institutions like- ICMR, CSIR, CDRI have worked
extensively on herbal medicines from various angles and tlied to provide scientific basis for the
pharmacological activity of herbs, resulting in inclusion of 30 herbs in IP. The modem pharmaceuticals
which have patented various Ayurvedic products from herbal origin due to their legal cornpulsion
they are also trying to promote herbalism to get theirproducts accepted internationally. These factors
are contributing to a crisis of identity forA+urveda and ultimately cliallenging the survival ofAyurveda.
The Indian scientists are unable to understand the problern that only herbs are not Ayurveda. There
are nearly 8000 herbs in use in different countries however inAyurveda nearly 800 species are used.
When these drugs are used with certain fundamental principles then only it is Ayurvedic practice.
For understanding the problerns of Ayurveda we should analyze the reasons for the resurgence of
Ayurveda. It is truism that "What you really value is what you miss, not what you have'o - Jorge
Luis'Borges. Developed countries and rich societies in India had the management for common
illnesses however they feel that present medical system does not provide the guide lines for healthy
living and spiritual awakening hence irrterest in Ayurveda is gr:owing day by day. The following few
reasons may be listed for attracting the urban and global population towards Ayurved,
1" Growing interest in vegetarianisrn brings people more nearer to Ayurved.
2. For the management of chronic incurable diseases following arsas are interesting
a. Rejuvenation (Rasayana) therapy
b. Management of life style disorders

c. Management of chronic and incurable diseases
d. Management of adverse and toxic effects of drugs
3. Importance of individual, his constitution (Prakruti) in planning of individual diet plan,
4. Concept of horneostasis as basis of health in Ayurveda
5. Imporlance of sensible life style in harmony with nature, climate and customs.
6. Use of natural resources as medicine to which our body system is geared through
predisposition.
7. Hazardous effect of modern chemical therapeutic agents.
8. Deep spiritual thinking of Ayurveda resulting respectful attitude towards nature and its
ecological balance.
Due to the deficiencies in the system even modern rnedical
following areas:
a. Str:engthening of irnrnune system
b. Efficient detoxification systern
c. Responsive inflammatory system
d. Optirnal metabolic system

e. Balanced regulatory system
f. Enhanced regenerative system
g. New molecules for the management
h. Harmonize the life force
Due to above qualities Ayurveda has became an extremely valuable com.rnodity for the world today,
preqi$ely because it provides what the world misses the most.

World wide surge forAyurveda has also created many problems forAyurveda which are dangerous
frn the identity and survival if not tackled properly.
$ Demarrd for safety and effrcacy data of highest level citing various reports and regulation of
the cotrntries using these rnedicines (JAMA),

$ Availability of authentic source material, over exploitaLion and non compliance of good

$ Cornrnercialization of trade of herbs leading to exploitation, adulteration, trade jealousies.
$ Problems of IPR arising out of,world witte commercialization of TMs arrd praoices.
$ Misuse of TM practices for sheer commercialization by non qualified or improperly
qualified practitioners in various developed countries due to non availability of regulatory

$ Regulatory nonns being formulated by various countries without properly understanding
the fabric of TMs.
$ Involvement of Modern scientists in deciding the policy noilu._s forAyurveda due to their
lust for power and recogrrition without understandirrg the fundarnentals of Ayurveda.
WhetherAyurvedic physicians of present day are competent to fulhll above requirements of
the developing and developed urban society or rlot? Whether,Ayurvedic physicians are properly
trained to counter the lust so Jacks trying to capture mornent of globalization of Ayurveda? The
solution of the problems lies in the cornpetency and design of tlie syllabus and curiculum taught to
the present day physicians in the Ayun edic colleges. The present curriculum being taught to Ayurvedic
graduates since last 25 years without any change has been criticized from all quarters since many
years. C.C.I.M. and Govt. of India who are responsible for the same failed irr their duty badly resulting
to piesent.status of Ayurvedic education in india.
An ideal curriculum should be based on the following three important factors:-
' A cun'iculum has to be timely - it should meet the conternporary as well as long tenrr
requirements to be foreseen and

37. F
.
And it has to be puqposive i.e. should cater to learning objectives efficiently
The present curriculum of B.A.M.S. course was devised in 1980 and since then it could not be
revised whereas the word has changed much and the responsibilities, expectation, and challenges'
for the Ayurvedic pliysicians have changed enonnously. Even MCI in 1993 has decided that curriculum
should be reuiseJ ev€ry five years so that after every five years every new batch is admitted with
new syllabus. However, present Ayurvedic neither deals with the problems of present day society
nor understands the problems of present day students regarding their learning ability and
understanding. Hence, present Ayu*.di. graduates find them in a quandary where they are not able
to practice,$;rveda properly. Same time due to inefficiency of thepresent dayAyurvedic teachers,
stuients are adopting foi u practice which is not as per Ayurvedic fundamental principles.
Hence, for the survival of Ayurveda and create separate identity forAyurvedic practitioners from
herbal medicine, it is essential to immediately revise present cufficulum ofAyurveda with an aim to
produce a Ayurvedic practitioner who have faith and understarrding in Ayurvedic fundamental
principles with appropriate knowledge of modern medical fundamentals'
Teacher centered v/s student centered curriculum -
the curriculum should be student centered and
teacher should be facilitator. This will be possible in the sense of structuring cumiculurn for the
purfor. of irrtegration it has to be problem based. There is need of dynamic continuum between
research, education and practice. For the purpose following questions should be kept in mind'
' Redundancy of the curriculum to be shelled off
' Integration of the remainder curriculum to be worked up
.Disintegrationtobetransformedintoproblembased1earning
.
This problern based learning to be converted into competency based learning and
.
This competency based learning to be manifested through task basod learning
It is this S level directiorr which is expected to be worked out for the pulposes of structuring of
the curriculum.
Innovation in preparation of cunicrrlurn is also required in following three domains
' Innovation in incorporation of curriculum
' lnnovation in teaching and learning processes and
' Innovation in the domain of evaluation as a whole
,Ayurvedic teachers not only transfer infonnation or knowledge but also transfer culture and skill
because Ayurveda is a proiessional subject. Ayurveda in conventional classical setup was being
taught as Veda and for studying"any Veda knowledge of Vedanga was also required. In present era
theL are many other classicaf educational branches which have created their relevance for the
management of health and diseases, Among them yoga has already been incorporated inAyurvedic
currieulum but blending of following Indian Sciences inAyurvedic Health Care Practices is required'

Nerver Approach for Global Acceptance
Dr. G. Garrgadhararr- Jt. Directoq FRLHI Kamataka
Ayurveda as a Samhita was originated in the Gangetic plane but over a period of time got adapted to
uil ou.. tl.re oriental region including Burna, Thailand and the Southern rnost tips of Srilanka.
Ayurveda is an eco ,p*"ifi. science of healing and health promotion. [thasbeen adaptilrg to different
t iegions as per the clir-nate, flora, culture and rnind set of the people. The regional texts of Keraia
viz."Sahasruyogu, Chikitsa Manjari, Yogamruta etc are the best examples of the regional adaptation
ofAyurveda.
As the renowned physician of Maharashtra; Vaidya Ramesh Narral'puts it, the whole spectrum of
Ayurveda can be AioiA.A into three aspects of TA|WA, SHASTRA ana VVaVIHARA'
t. Tatwa: The subtler and deepest aspects the origin o{the theory ofAyurveda consists
of the Prakruti Purusha duality and evolution'of the universe etc., only "Aptas" who
are by definition true seers can gee it- " . . : :
.
2. Shastra is the physical plain of the Tatwa in which the basic principles:1ry.*.d4
is explained. Panch Mahabhutha Siddhant,Tridosh theory etc. are part of the Shastra
, at phenomenal world level. This is dre aspectwhich Charaka, Sushruta & Vagbhata
etc.,havedocumentedandgiventotlrefuturegeneration.
3. Vyavahara: is the local adaptatiorr Of Tat'wa and Shastra for the contempofary needs
as per the various changing factors of the area'
,
So education in Ayurveda has to take cue fi'om this broad text of Ayurveda. One need not
roor. ro, unl".rr"r
";;;;1;
ro, eyu*.da. It has to be region specific and should leave enough
space for the students to thirrk Ayurvedically and develop Ayurvedically' The use of local flora,
interpretation of local climatic condition$ and soil,types etq., should be part of this irlnovative
curriculum
There can be three levels of Ayurvedic education abroad'
l) For graduates in Modem Bio-rnedicine who wants to get into CAM through Ayurveda.
2) Health practitioners, Osteopaths and healers who are allowed to touch the body for therapeutic
'
pu.por. and treat certain conditions. They need more of non invasive external manipulative
ffeatments rather than intemal medicines'
3) Also qualified people with evidence of experience in the field of healing.
There are many ilitiatives that are taking place abrpad in the area of Ayurvedic education. The
'following
groups have done lot of work in this area'
1) Mark Rosenberg * Rosenberg society for Holistic Health and Education

European Academy of Ayurveda, Germany, Switzerland, Austria,

5) Vaidya Vasanth Lad - New Mexico, USA.
The syllabus for Moder:r Biomedical practitionels can be of 500 hours and 600 hours clinical
experience and 1200 hours of self study with following broad areas and categories. This needs to be
worked out in details.
:
1) Introduction to holistic principles and perspective * Indian Darshanas
2) Basic Principles ofAyurveda
3) Ayurvedic Pharmacology and Materia Medica - about 150 plants
4) Pharmaceutical and Alchemical preparations -
about 100 formulations.
5) Aetio-pathology and Diagnostics.
6) Panchakarma, Rasayana and Vajikarana
7) Kayachikitsa
B) Specialty in clinical features ofAyurveda.
9) Prasuti Tantra, Kaumarbhritya and Shalya Shalakya
10) Ayurvedic Clinical Internship
11) Applied Research and Ayurvedic Professional Skills.
All these topics have to be elaborated to separate rnodules with hour wise devision of topics.
It is evidentfrom the followiitg
words of Dn Antonio Morandi a great proponent of Ayarvedu in
Europe, specifically ltsl), thatwe rteed to look into Ayurvedic education abroad much seriously.
In Europe there is the need to adaptAyurveda not only to the local ecosystem and cultural environment
but also from a political point of view. The medical tradition in Europois historically based on the
roles of medical doctors and of therapist/nurse. Very close to what Caraka says in Sutrastana IX.
Only UK and Germany government embrace the role of practitioner, all the other countries are
linked to MD/nurse scheme. Thus, with these premises a medical figure like the one proposed by
the BAMS program in India is not very likely to be accepted. A European education scheme in
Ayurueda has to follow the basic rules and logic of Ayurveda with the local adaptation and.has to
follow a teaching path acknowledged by European institutions. This scheme has to find support
from Indian govemment to be legitimate. Such a regulation of Ayurveda education in Europe has
maximum importance since in the last years the popularity of Ayurveda has been linked to the
faslrion of new age, wellness and esthetic massages. This is a big problem that can jeopardizethe
name and dignity of Ayurveda. The origins of such a problem are from both European and Indian
sides.
Schools and formation courses are blossoming everywhere, mainly focused on massage techniques,
of short duration, sometime very short and with teachers not adequate or without a verifiable
preparation, In many of these courses Ayurveda is mixed with other'lholistic" techniques in very
importable combinations, with the main aim of quickly being able to practice something in the
name ofAyurveda allows to make fast money.
But a few.schools and institutions are trying to communicate the right message of Ayurveda as a

philosophy and a medical science but they are a minority, atrd they have great inequality in the
program and syllabus that create confusion in the Govemment's histitutions for which it is impossible
to have a clear idea on Ayurveda.
Europe has to follow adequate minimal standard that have to respect the tradition, the essence of
Alrurveda and the local environmental, cultural and political needs.
Besides the responsibility of Europe, there is also a responsibility of Indian Govemmerrt mainly
regarding the teaching of Ayurveda to foreigners in India. Since, there are some Institutions which
held courses for foreigners without any control on syllabus, program and quality. The lack ofattention
of India to the status of Ayurveda abroad and to the teaching conditions for foreigners in India was
determinant in creating this situation.
F{enceAyurvedic education abroad needs to concentrate at three levels. They should not be lesser in
content that of BAMS standard flow in Indian Universities under CCIM norrns.
The essentials ofAyurveda as given in BAMS syllabus can be developed in the above fashion giving
more importance and focus on health condition that are prevalent in the given country.
As a policy there should not be any deviation for the content of Ayurveda that is given in Indian
BAMS syllabus, The Physiology, Anatomy, Bio-chemistry etc., which are part of modern Bio
medicine, need not be repeated as the students are from Modern Medicine. For other health
practitioners the syllabus should be focused more on practical applications of Ayurveda mainly on
Foorvakarrna and some aspects of Panchakarrnas. The whole spectrum of Panchakarrna should be
allowed to undertaken only under the guidarrce of a qualified Ayurvedic Physician.

Teaching Methodology w.s.r. to Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana
Dr. B. B. Joshi Prof. & HOD Rasashastra and Bk. Dept.. Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya, Hubali.
Introduction: Talking in the Class room is r'rot teaching, merely hearirrg is not learning. Talk and
listen to lead the life better way" thus says al1 educationalist.
Teaching is transfonrration of knowledge fi'om higher level to lower level. It is a noble profession
which increases and improves and brings changes in learner's behavior.
Teaching and leaming is continuous process of education and is self enjoyable.
Objectives: Main objective of teaching is manifestation of divinity within self. This could be achieved
with S.PI.C.E.
S - Student oriented P - Problem oriented I -Integral approach
C - Community oriented B - Evaluation of Learners Outcome.
These should be analyzed with S.O.T
S - Strength of Science O - Opportunity T- Therapy/ teaching.
When S.P.I.C.E. is co-combined with S.O.T. we getAmruta the Nectar i.e. Atmasantosha.

Teaching Methodology
Dr. Archana M.Patil, B.A.M.S, D.Y.A., Pune Dr. Vishal Agrawal, B.A.M. S., Khandbara (Nandurbar)
Introduction: The existing teaching methodology for Ayurved fails to produce the fellows who'll
fulfiII all the criteria of 'Vaidya'by our ancient Samhita. In this globalization era, we aren't able to
stand as successful brands although we've world's best science- Ayurved (science of life) as a tool.
Aims & Objectives: To produce every student ofAyurved as best Vaidya for society
I\{ethod: Experiential learning based on 'Nayi Taalirn'subjective educational method introduced
by Mahatma Gandhi.
Discussion: According to Ayurved each patient is an independent individual by its difference in
Desh, Kaal, Vaya, Bala, Prakruti, Vyadhi, Dosh, Dushya etc. and we treat each patient by different
way. So while lear"ning Ayurved we must consider every person is different by its Brain capacrty,
grasping power, puryose of learning, attitude, passion, socio-economic status, goals in life, etc.
Ideally there should be different method for everyone. But it's not practically possible. If we go

Teaching methods are best articulated by answering questions, 'oWhat is the purpose of education?"
and..what are best ways of achieving thise purposes?" For much of prehistory educational methods
were largely informal and consisted of childien imitating/ modeling behavior o: thal of

course materials and then enforces it. Pedagogy is usually the different way a teacher can teach' It is

that help teachers teach blter are typically u i.uron plan, or practical skili involving learning-thinking
skills. A cuniculum is often set by Governmeni with precise standards and change frequently
depending on what Governments states'
Medical education is moving at a faster pace then other area of pedagogy, panicularly in its use of
communication-information

for information retrieval. A good proportion of those supporting learning of medical student are
keen to move traditional didactic methods of teaching an'cassessmdnt to more holistic methods that
take into account that curriculum delivery is not a simpte matter of transmission from tutor to student'
Role of medical educator is, otlen seeras thankless one, with all pressure of teaching, conflicting

A systernatic literature review (also called Meta analysis) tries to search, study, select and synthesize
all published research evidence on a given subject. There remains a lack of such reviews in Ayurved4.
This paper describes the activities of DST extramural project to pilot methods to conduct systematic
reviews forAyurvedic dermatology by using primary studies and analyzing the quality of publications
through Ayurvedic criteria.
Our protocol differs from existing systematic reviews published in the west in following ways (i)
considers the Ayurvedic criteria as practiced for the quality assessments (ii) includes seven types of
studies and is not limited to RCT (iii) Ayurvedic outcone measures are included (iv) an elaborate
search strategy is outlined to include Ayurvedic publications in lpcal languages,

Medical Ethics Advocated by Ayurveda
F- t t-'
Vd. Pankai Dixit, BVUCOA, Pune
In today's CPA -
era, the doctor -
patient relationship is quite strained. The doctor is no longer a
Bhagwan or God for the patients. Inclusion of the medical practice in the CPA has rendered it to be
a 'Service' and any negligence or lapse in the service is liable for a strict action against the medical
practitioner.
Of course the malpractices carried out by the medical practitioner are solely responsible for this. In
today's materialistic world every human being * including the medical practitioner strives to attain
maximum wealth to ensure the fulfillment of his /her desires and a secured future. This leads to
rnalpractice, which includes unnecessary admissions, operations, investigations and unnecessary
prescriptions. The cycle goes on and on. Ironically, every medical practitioner takes one oath at the
time of his registration which is soon completely forgotten by them.
On this background I found it extrernely interesting about the advice of Ayurved in this regard.
Ayurued, which is a Upa-veda of the divine Atharva-veda strongly condemns such unethical acts.
There are many references about the medical ethics scattered all over in the texts ofAyurved, specially
the 'Brihat-trayi'.
A very simple but meaningful Sutra by Sushruta explains the desired attitude by any medical
practitioner towards his patients, which says,

The science of Ayurved deserves to be encouraged by Govt, at central as well as state level, not
necessarily because it is an ancient science ofthe land, nor because it is cheap easily available and
san reach'villages and give medical aid to masses; but it deserves support because of its own
potentialities which are stillto be recognized by the modern scientific world. It has actually succeeded
in maintaining excellent health of population of this country when modern short cutremedies and
what are called wonder drugs were not on the scene.
Ayurved, had once reached its zenith of glory and completeness. During historical and political
upheavals it had to survive through difficult periods and cerlain of its branches were stagnated,
literaturp mutilated, scattered and adqlterated. The 'how'and 'why'of it have to bq recollected and
readjusted and even reoriented which would enable us to express. That is exactly the job involved in
the revival ofAyurved or its complete renaissance. While laying down the policy towards Ayrlrvedic
development one must takeinto account the following aspects r
-Ayurvedic education (syllabi and teaching methodology, CME, ROI Articles present)
-Propagation ofAyurvedic concepts'(daily & seasonal regime, Planning of gardens)
-Ayurvedic practice (Registration at Central and State, Authority to issue certificate)
-Ayurvedic Health Resorts (Education and Create awareness)
'Ayurvedic Research, Standard clinical ressarch, literaryr research, texts, Pharmacopoeia.
-Central Counoil for Ayurvedic Education, (Scholarly Post graduate Educationalist)
'Central Council forAyurvedic Research (fairly long experienced $cholars)
Which are inter-independent and complimentary. While planning for their development this
complementary eharaeter need to be kept in view. Because Ayurvedic pducation is meant for public
benefit, it must cater for an efficient Ayurvedic praatiee. This could'be achieved by having &r over"
all plan for their'development spread over a period of ten years minimum to begin with,

institutional training. In this jounrey our education system has honored suggestions given by different
committees, councils tirne to time and has einerged with the current currisulum, examination pattem,
entrance procedures etc. ln spite of these changes, more and more Ayurvedic graduates are opting
for allopathic practice or joining Para-clinical courses like MBA, Hospital management or CROs
where their knowledge of Ayurveda is hardly utilized. The answer lies in the fact that the cunent
systems are not sufficient enough to produce competentAyurvediq physician. This issue needs to
be critically assessed, analyzed and rectified by teaching faculty.
Aims and Objectives: To introduce new teaching rrethodology.
Materials and Methods: We have tried to bring following changes in this direction at our Institution,
which will be elaborated in the full paper, For clinical orientation to students, a rule has been followed
that a teacher should be Ayurvedic clinician
1. For easy recitation, development of a series of Shloka album "shlokanjali" where imporlant
Shlolas have been recorded on detuned music.
2. For better understanding, different events of Samprapti and Panchakarma have been visualized
with the help of Flash software or animation.
3. Development of user friendly Panchakarma instruments,
4. Ernployment of biomarkers while doing and assessing treatment.
5. Determination of Standard Operating Procedures for different treatment,
Conclusion: Methods developed at our Institute, if given publicity, can be implemented at all
colleges over the country which,will have a significant impact on the existing teaching
methodology. Additionally, this will certainly inculcate scientific approach in the new breeds of
Ayurved.

Implement of Inquiry Based Learning in Medical Teaching Methodology
Prof. Dr. (Mrs.) Tanveer Ginwala, HOD, Dept. of Niswan (Cynaec) Unani Med. College Burhanpur, M. P.
lntroduction : Inquiry based learning is a dynarnic Modern Teaching Methodology which describes
a range of philosophical, cunicular and pedagogical approaches to teaching. It is based on John
Dewy's Philosophy that education begins with curiosity of leamer or student. Inquiry is a form of
self directed learning, thp teacher job in an inquiry based learning environment is theref:ore not to
provide knowledge, but instead to help student along the process of discovering knowledge
themselves.
We have been irnplernenting inquiry based learning rnethodology for teaching purpose since one
year in our Unani Medical College Burhanpur.
Aims and Objectives: Implementation of Inquiry based learning in medical teaching methodology
specially in Indian system of medicine is a prime need of changing world, because inquiry implies
involvement that leads to understanding. Further more by this dynamic teaching methodology students
will be able to critically review research articles in discipline and students will be able to develop
and implement computer simulations.
Methods and Materials:The paper examines the impact and effectiveness of implernentation of
inquiry based learning teaching rnethodology. In doing so this papet digs into root of inquiry based
learning methodology i.e. principal characters, practical aspects, methods and criticism of inquiry
based learning.
Further more instructional strategies or methods and material we use: Lecture and Questioning,

"To Know'o and "To Believe" are two different things'
To know facts is science, to believe the one who knows is ignorance. Higher education in Ayurved
is not a question of life and death but much more imporlant than that. It is really a paradox that
deliberation on higher education in Ayurved is envisaged at a time when standard of basip education
in Ayurved do not meet quality issue at various levels'
Being an integral system of wellness, solution and health sciences, Ayurved spreads over_Tany
domains of lsiowledge. The material and manpower resource lie arguably in India viewed from
global perspecrive. tintit. other life sciences Ayurved needs to find dependable solution f,or any
concern contemplated in this country. Purpose of higher studies inAyurved is generally and should
be airned at producing quality physician, better quality teachers and top quality researchers'
Education is dofined as a process by which a relatively permanent change in personality of individual
is achieved in cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains. Cognitive domain targets brain and
intelligence.
psychornotor domain is related with skills and largely depends upon practical talent'
Third and most important affective domain aims the development of heart in tenns of values and
ethics.
When it cornes to the question of doctoral and post doctoral levels; what is required is to produce
very high quality r*r"ur.h persons having cutting technology. Here word technglogy is connoted to

Food And Nutrients: They Build The Body And Destroy It Too!
Udipi ShobhaA. PhD Prof'essor and Head. Ghugre Padmini S. PhD Reader
Dept of Food Science and Nutrition. S.N.D.T. Wom'en's University. Murnbai
Keywords: Nutrient deficiency, nutrient balance, excess intakes, non-communicable diseases,
,uppl.ro.t',tation, iron, dietary fat.
CooO nutrition is critical for health and well being. Deficiencies of several nutrients such as EPM,
iron, vitamin A, iodine are public health problems in lndia. However the country faces double burden
of malnutrition due to rising incidence of non - communicable diseases For fiost nutrients there is a
safe range of intakes, beyond which health and wellbeing may be adversely affected. To prevent/
control deficiencies, supplementation programmes are being implemented and fortification is seriously
considered. However in case of nutrients like iron, the adverse implications of over - consumption
waffants attention. Similarly in the case of fat, the possibly of adverse consequences of trans fatty
acids present in processed foods containing hydrogenated fat and imbalance between various fatty
acids (n-3 , n-6, SFA,MUFA, PUFA) are of concern.
Introduction- The primary function of good nutrition is to promote growth and development, maintain
health and well being and prevent disease. Nutrition is more than the food we eat. It reflects the
interaction between the food consumed and the physiologic and metabolic demands of the body in
order to enhance and maintain optimal functional capacity, including productivity, resistance to
infection and prevention of non * communicable/chronic degenerative diseases. All societies,
especially those in transition are experiencing under nutrition and over nutrition simuitaneously. In
Africa and Asia under nutrition caused by lack of food and/or deficiency of irnportant nutrients is
widely prevalent. Some of the nutritional deficiencies of concem are Energy protein malnutrition
(EPM), iron deficiency, vitamin A deficiency, Iodine deficiency, as well as deficiencies of zinc,
folate and vitamin B-12 among others.
Simultaneously as a result of qualitative and quantitative shifts in diets, chronic degenerative/ non'
communicable diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, cancer and
osteoporosis are on the rise. Thus nutrition is a major modifiable determinant of health and wellness
at ea& and every stage of the life cycle from the embryonic stage to old age.
Theme under consideration: This paper deals with the impact of inadequacies and excess intakes
of selected nutrienls on human health and the issues that are of concern.
The human body requires more than 50 nutrients including a number of amino acids. Each nutrient
performs specialized functions and contributes uniquely to the functioning of the body. Requirements
of these nutrients vary according to age, sex, physical activity, physiological state and health or
disease. One of the core concepts in nutrition is nutrient balance, essentially between nutrient intake
and utilization (metabolism and degradation) and excretiorr, thereby influencing the body pool or
body stores. Nutrient balance/equilibrium is achieved when the nutrient intake matches the body's
dernand / requirement for that nutrient. When intake exceeds the body's requirement, the body is in
...........<l 29 t...........

54. Global, lturved Conference &.,Healtp Expo 2009 Life Style Dtsorders
positive balance and in a converse situation, it is said to be in negative balance. Inadequate or excess
intake can have adverse consequences at various levels- subcellular and cellular levels, as well on
organs, tissues, systems and the whole body. The body is continuously clrallenged to maintain
equilibrium by adapting to various circumstances including altered nutrient supply in order to
minimize the adverse consequences on the functional capacity of the human body. However, beyond
a certain stage, the body's capacity to adapt is compromised progressively from cellular level, upward.
The effects may be manifested initially at metabolic Ievel, followed by changes in body stores, sub,
clinical changes and finally pathological changes in tissues and organs compromising functional
capacity and health. There are inter- and intra-individual variations and therefore vulnerability to
inadequate or excess irrtakes can occur over a fairly wide range of intakes. Further the advelse
health effects vary for different nutrients and foods. This is illustrated by a brief review of two
nutrients - iron and dietary lipid / fat.
Iron:Iron status can be considered as a continuum ranging fiom iron deficiency with anemia ( low
hemoglobin levels but no iron stores) to iron deficierrcy with no anemia ( normal hemoglobin but
low body stores) to normal iron status ( normal hemoglobin levels) wherein the amourrt of iron
stored can va{y over a veqy wide range. Stores of ir'on can build up with no overt signs <lf adverse
effects until iron overload occurs, causing olgan damage. The threshold for iron stores in terms of
safety still needs to be identified.
Too much iron in the body is likelSz to have adverse effects at cellular and biochemical level. Iron
beirtg a pro-oxidant will induce oxidative stress leading to producti.on of free radicals. Sorne of
these free radicals in tum react with irort bound to transferrin or stored as ferritirr, releasing this iron.
Free irorr frir"ther induces oxidative stress propagating more free radicals. If this imbalance is sustained,
there can be weakening of the antioxidant defense system. Oxidative stress has been implicated as
orte of the important etiological factors in the pathogenesis of several diseases including : diabetes
mellitus, hypertension, atherosclerosis, ischemia-reperfusion-reoxygenation injury @irth trauma,
kidney damage, transplantation), chronic inflammatory diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory
bowel disease, lung damage, AERDS, asthma, cystic fibrosis, carcinogenesis and cancer, Parkinson's
disease, Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, viral infections.
In addition oxidative stress can have local effects at various levels at different stages of the life
cycle. Local effects may first be seen at the level of the gastro intestinal tract which is the first point
of contact.
$ Pro-oxidative imbalance can directly enhance intestinal injury.
$ The free radicals can attack the polyunsaturated fatty acids of the cell membranes, leading to
lipid peroxidation and thereby affecting cell function.
$ Increase in mucosal and vascular permeability. Neutrophils and may be activated, transcription
i
factors. TLrus there may be up-r'egulation of transcriptiorr of adhesion molecules, cytokines,
enzymes etc increasing infl ammation.
Biochemical effects of oxidative stress are :
Cell injury, DNA strand breakage,
Damage to mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum

There may be age specific vulnerability although considerable scientific etfort is required to determind
whether these observations hold true. There are observations reportgd in the literature that infants
fed iron-fortified milk had higher incidence of dianhea, possibly because the unabsorbed iron in the
intestiues may provide an ecological advantage for some bacterial species or the iron may enhance
the virulence of some potential enteropathogens. Similarly among the elderly, iron may be involved
in Alzheirner's disease and Parkinson's disease.
Pregnancy is a special stage and phase in the lifecycle of a wprnan and the family. However during
pregnancy, there is increased susceptibility to oxidative stress. Disruption of the equilibrium between
the free radicals and antioxidant defense systents increases the propensity for development of
gestational hypertension, pre -
eclarnpsia, insulin resistance and gestational diabetes.
In as much as excess iron has adverse effects, at the lower end,of the continuum of iron status, even
mild to moderate deficiency without anemia can have deleterious effects on functional capacity and
well being. The consequences of iron deficiency vary with the severity of the problem.
'.:
Iron deficiency adversely affects:
( The immune status and morbidity from infections of all age groups is compromised.
< Lowering of hemoglobin affects oxygen carrying capacity - initially persons non-speciflc
symptoms such as lethargy, fatigue, headache, disturbances in tdste, dizziness, breathlessness
on exertion.
(( The use of energy sources by muscles ancl thus the physical capacity and work performance
ofadolescents and adults ofall age groups.
Specifically, irort deficiency anaemia during pregnancy:
( Increases perinatal risks for mothers and neonates and
<< Increases overall infant mortality
In children, cluonic iron deficiency results in behavioral changes, impaired cognitive function,
shoft attention span and they appear withdrawn. Physical growth of infants, preschool and school-
agcd children is adversely affected.
Also iron deficient persons have impaired gastrointestinal functions and altered pattern-s ofhormone
production and metabolism including neurotransmitters and thyroid hormones, which are associated
with neurological, muscular alterations as well as ternperature regulation. The latter would limit the
capacity of individuals to maintain their body temperature in cold environment. Also DNAreplication
and repair require iron- dependent enzymes.
Globally anemia is a public health problem, especially so in developing countries. In view of this,
various interventions aimed at improving iron status (through increased intakes) are being

implernented worldwide. The approaches that are primarily relied on are - provision of iron
supplenrents and fortification. Wren fortification is used as a strategy, there is likelihood of a variety
of foods being fortitjed - from staple foods like wheat flour, salt, or other foods as well as processed
foods e.g. breakfast cereals etc. The amount of iron added to each of these foods may constitute a
substantial proportion of the recommended dietary allowance. When a person consumes a number
of such fortified foods regularly as paft of his/her daily diet, there is likelihood of the daily intake
being much higher than what the body actually requires. Such chronically high irrtakes may well
pose health prob-lems after some period of time.
Fat: Dietary fat is an impoftant macronutrient which seryes as a concentrated source of energy, a
canier of fat-soluble vitamins, supplies essential fatty acids and cholesterol. Very low fat intake
would therefore result in deficiency of essential fatty acids, possible fat soluble vitamins and increased
risk of underweight.
Concerns regarding essential fatty acids are more relevant to infants, children and pregnant women.
Deficiency of the essential fatty acids linoleic acid and arachidonic acid result in scaly skin and
growth retardation. Further the deficiency of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is characterized,by
delayed and impaired neuronal development and impaired vision since the infant's brain and visual
development is dependent on an adequate accumulation of the n-3 fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA).
Fats enhance taste of food, hence humans may often be tempted to eat such foods in excess of one's
requirements, thus contributing to therisk of overweight, obesity and associated non-communicable
diseases including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
With industrialization, globalizatiorr and changing life styles, reliance on processed foods is increasing.
Such foods more often than not contain comparatively high amount of fat. Another conceffr about
these fbods is the fatty acid compositiorr of the fat used. Many products that are prepared with
hydrogenated fats contain a large proportiorr of trans fatty acids that are not naturally occuning but
are generated during processing. Trans fatty acids increase the LDL cholesterol and therefore may
contribute to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Also experimental studies show that trans
fatty acids compete with and impair the metabolism of other dietary long chain fatty acids.
Besides the total amount of fat consumed, the fatty acid composition and their ratios are especially
relevant to human health and well being.
$ Chronic high intakes of saturated fatty acids are associated with increased risk of diabetes
and coronary aftery disease. It is unlikely that a dietary source of these fatty acids is absolutely
necessary.
$ Monounsaturated fatty acids(MUFA) are said to be neutral in tenns of their effects on the
, lipid profile. Higher MUFA intakes decrease the intake of saturated fatty acids (wherr the
type of fatloil is changed) and therefore lower serum cholesterol.
$ Polyunsaturated fatty acids: the n-6 fatty acids loWer senrm cholesterol.
The n-3 fatty acids lower triglycerides, and are antithrombogenic.
A high ratio of n-6 to n-3 fatty acids has an unfavorable effect on cardiovascular health.

Applications of the proposed thouglrt
The body of knowledge in nutritional scieirce clearly indicates that for each nutrierrt there is a safe
rarlge of intake, beyond which in either direction, body fur-rctions, health and well being are adversely
aflected. It must be pointed out that for any nutrient ther e is no single risk free intake levels applicable
to all metnbers of the population. Wheu public health professionals use supplementationifortification
to combat'nvidespread deficiency of a nutrient, the associated risk of overload especially with fortified
foods needs to be seriously considered.
Use of single nutrient(s) as a supplement/ forlificant can interfere with absorption and utilization of
other nutrients, thereby increasing the risk of conditional deficiency e.g. high ilon intake, These
approaches therefore should be used for the short-term.
The effects of processing on the components in foods merits serious attention e.g. hydrogenation
and generation of trans fatty acids,
Processed foods especially convenience foods are likely to contain higli amount of fat, sodiun'r and
less fiber wliich is not desirable.
Summing up: It is necessary to pay attention to the possibility of over consumption of nutrients due
to increased consumption of processed foods, fbrtified foods and increasing reliance on supplements.
In view of this, it is advisable to use food-base approaches with dietary diversification and reliance
on natural foods.

Poor energy balance in terms of consumption and utilization may lead to plethora or serious
pathologies. When the balance is heavy of consumption than the utilization the illness is due to over
nutrition and is refened as Samtarpanotta Vyadhi. On the other hand when the balance is heavy of
utilization the diseases are due to under rrutrition and is referred as Apataqpanottha Vyadhi. As the
consumption and utilization is dependant upon ones life style the diseases caused by these are best
refemed as life style disorders. Also Among these two, the Santarpanottha Vyadhi has gained more

clinical irnportance as the incidence of which is raising in developed and developing countries and
includes more sedous disorders like atherosclerosis, ischernic heart disease, stroke syndrome, diabetes
and so on.
When the balance is heavy of consumption of nutlients in the form of sweet fatty foods for example,
it tends to smear the body channels (Srotopalepal) and accumulate in the form of fat (Medas).
Overweight and obesity (Sthaulya) is the result, and is the root cause of many urore lingerirrg serious
disorders. Infilttation of the body channels (Srotopalepa) involving the rrascular system (Rasa-
raktavaha Srotas) has serious implication on the health and is referred as Margavarana. As tire
vascular system is distributed in the whoie body, Mar-gavarana may affect any and evety organ of the
body. Depending upon the organ invoived the illness is narned accordingly as Vatavyadlii, Hridroga,
Unmada, Vatarakta, Gulma and so on. As the cause is exclusively Margavarana, all these diseases
may co exist in an individual or ignorance of one lead to occunence of the othel adding to tl're
critical clinical status. There fore it is rational to add treatment of Margavarana in all these diseases
along with the treatrnent of specific diseases. Following are the linei that elaborate the colnmon
Kapha Pitta Medas Avarana and common treatment of Margavarana in different diseases.
Overweight and obesity (Sthaulya) predisposes to a plethora of pathology including the Margavarana:.
And there fore rectification of tlre sarrc can prevent the rnany sequel of overweight and obesity and
Margavarana as well. Slrodhana treatmeut is ihe radical approach to ,",rou. the excess accumulation
of Medas. As proved by the randomized clinical trials Lekhana Basti is very eff-ective in reducing
the BMI and values of lipid profile as well. Conserrrative lnanagenrent includes olal adrninistration
of Shilajaru, Loha Bhasma, Guggulu etc in therapeul"ic doscs. Stoinach full of food with lewer
nutrienti (Guru and Apatarpana) shouid be the theme of dietr. A nreal with plenty of leafy vegetables
is ideal in this regard. Bariey, green gram. honey, is to be prefened in the diet. To add to this eft'ect,
Udvartana and physical exercise is advised making the balance tending to Apatalpana. This is how
the Sthaulya is being treated and the fantasy of being thin is made real
Vatarakta is another disorder characlerized by obstruction in the Raktarnarga as principal pathology.
Multiple pathologies may culminate in obstruction of the Raktamarga, among which accurnulation
of Kapha and Medas in the Raktavaha Srotas (obstructive afterial disease) is a major phenomenon4.
And the treatrnent of Vatarakta differs according to the pathology involved in a given patient. If the
Kapha and Medas is involved in the obstruction then a balarrced approach of treating Vatarakta and
rectifying the Margavarana should be adapted. Shodhana is an cffective procedure in such situations.
Virecana Kanla and Lekhanabasti are eliminatory procedur:es of proverr efficacy. Lekhanabasti in
several courses fbund to be effective in clearing the obstructjon and iurproving the blood circulation.
Oral rnedication with Shilajatu. Guggulu and Swartramakshika in Rasayana fonn is beneficial.
Physical exercise has added benefit as it facilitates reduction of Kapha and Medas.
Establishment of energy balance by way of Apatarpana Chikitsa is rational irr Vataquadhi caused
due to'Margavarana. Margavarana is due to Kapha and Medas that should be treated by Rukshana
andApatarpana Chikitsa. The resultant Vatavyadhi is best tleated by Sneharra and Brimhana Chikitsa.
This is quite opposite to the keatrnent of Margavarana thus posing irindlance in planning a
comprehensive treatment. There fore a balanced approach to treat Vatavyadhi arrd to revert

Margavarana has to be planned. Virecana with Erandataila is the best option for the Shodhanacikitsa.
Anabhislr.yandi Srrigdha Cikitsa is the option and is aimed at both cause *
Margavarana and the
sequel * Vatavyadhis. Treatment is targeted to uritigate the morbid Kapha and Pitta and also achieving
Vatanulomana. Rasayana Chikitsa with Shilajatu, Guggulu with milk, Chyavanaprasha with milk
are beiretlcial. If this dual balanced approach is uot follorved, it is said that the patient may develop
several other sequel of Margavarana that include Hridroga (ischerric heart disease) Pliharoga
(splenomegaly due to hyperlipoproteinemia), Gulma and Atisata (ischemic colitis).
Pathogenesis of Hridroga mayva{y according to the pathology. As per the excessive consumption in
relation to utilization in the erlergy balance (Santa4pana Nidana) is concerned, accumulation of
Kapha with in the Srotas impeding the circulation of Rasa and then progressiug to morbidity of Vata
results in establishment of Hridroga6. Thus here also the dual approach of treating Hridroga as rvell
as Margavarana forms the radical rational approach. Srotasprasadana is best achieved by Sodhana
and Apatarpana line of treatment. Oral medication with shilajatu, Swarnarnakshikabhsama
(Prabhakara Vati) are targeted at the Margavarana. This should be added with specific Hridya
medicines to make it a comprehensive prescription"
The psychological illrress is categorized as organic and psychogenic. Darnage to the brain due to
trauma,, inflammation, tumor and impaired blood supply precipitates psychological illness of organic
origin. Artrong these the cerebral atherosclerosis is the commonest cause. This rnay lead to clinical
conditions like dernentia, anxiety states, depression and so on. This pathology is akin to the Unrnada
due to Margavalana7. Once again accurnuiation of Kapha and Medas is incriminated to cause
Malgavarana. In such clinicalconditions the treatment of both Unmada and Margavarana should be
planned to get the best results. Treatment of Margavarana here includes the Shodhanaclrikitsa and
Apatarpana Chikitsa. Oral administlation of Shilajatu and Guggulu is beneflcial beyond doubt in
such clinical conditions.
Basically the Prarneharoga is an illness due to morbidity of Medas. Accordingly the clinical
presentation of Sthulapramehi is modulated in accordar-rce with the wide patl-rology of Medodhatu.
Thus irr this category of illness Apatarpana line of treatment consisting of Shodhana, Shamana with
Shilajatu and Guggulu, heavy food that lack nutrition, and heavy exercise forms the crux of treatment.
This should be planned in conjunction with the unique medications of Prameharoga
In a nut shell, excessive consumption in relation to pool" utilization as a faulty life style forms the
Sautarparra Nidana and this leads to plurality of pathologies. Sthaulya and its sequel Margavarana is
a rnajor illness due to this energy irnbalance. As the pathology involves the Rasa Rakta Marga which
is ubiquitously distlibuted in the body, any organ in the body may be affected by this. Depending
upon the organ af}'ected the person may suffer from Prameha, Vatarakta, Vatavyadhi, Hridroga,
Gulma, Atisara, and Urrmada. Treatrnent of these cliseases in combination with the Apatarpana Iine
of treatment of Margavarana is the rational radical approach. Such an approach is likely to produce
maximum berrefit in the rernission of the existing illness as well as preventing the occunence of
other manifestations of Margavarana. Needless to say. the preventiorr of plethora of pathology
pertaining to life style tendirrg to Santalpana is pir,ned on rectit-rcatiorr of Sthaulya and Margavarana.

Everything is in Mind * Health and Disease .

Vai dyaratnam P. S. Varier Ayu rveda Co I I ege, Kottakal
In Ayurveda health is defined as not merely an absence of disease. It is a wholistic well being of the
individual in physical, mental, social and spiritual level. Amongst these the spiritual and social well
being described as 'Prasantruatmendriya
ntanah
'is
most importartt. The aim of Ayurvedic treatise
, is bringirrg normalcy of body tissues (Dhaatusaa rnya). While defining Dhaatusaarnya, Charaka has
given equal weightage to psychic factors as that of somatic factors. 'Ruchi aahaarakaale,
Arutaabhilaasha, Voikaarikaana.arn svdprloana.ant adarsanam, Sukhena pratib;odhanatn'etc. are
ample evidences. The disease as well as wellness is related to self. That is why Charaka has stated
that "Annajah cha ayant pui'tttshah, Atntajah cha ayam rogah"
Concept of tripod -
Psyche, spirit and physical body are highly inter related and inter complimentary just like a tripod.
There is no separated or isolated existence for these three. One depends on othei.
Satva Sareera Aatlna
. (Mind) (Body) (Spirit)
The whole universe and its substances are bound to the law if coexistence of psyche, spirit and
physical body. Physicalbody is dead without the presence of spirit.
and physical body. Spirit does not manifest rvithout the mediation of psyche. So psyche is most
important among these three. That is why psyche is encountered first in these three.

Non-sentient to sentient -
An association of physical body, sense organs, psyches and spirit sustains the life. Shareera is simply
an instrument, u,lrich is vir"tually inorganic. It becomes organic when possessed with lndriya. But
the vitality of life is rnaintained by Atma performed through Satwa (Mind). Satwa perfonns the role
of connector or switclr. It is always conjoined with Atrna either in lif'e or after death, So it is explained
as Oupapaaduka.
The sarne ideology is highlighted in Bhagavatgeeta by cornparing Shareera with a chariot, Indriya
with horses etc.
Ps1'chic factor and disease causation
The very definition of Vyadhi is that which causes pain or rnisery to both body and mind. The
disease in man is not only a biological but also a social phenomenon, There is not only a somatic
factor but also a psychic factor'playing in disease causation .The human body is the sum total of
three key components viz. Aatma or soul, psychic factors like Satwa, Rajas and Tamas and Shareera
Bhaavaas like Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
The $hareera er somatic Dosha perfonrr certain mental functions in addition to their somatic
functions On the same analogy the psychic Doslras also perform cerlain bodily functions, For

Shaleerika Swaasthya, social well being from spiritual well being or any one of them from others.
Ayurveda view miird and body as two aspects of one unity, the human being and this conception is
more in accord with the facts, physiological and psychological processes interact with each other.
For nstance, the thougirt of danger and the feeling of fear or Bhaya are accompanied by changes in
l-rearllreat and blood chemistry, while conversely toxins of disease affect thought and feeling.
Strong emotions fear and fiustlations disrupt equilibrium of the normal nqrvous processes (inhibition
and excitation) in the cerebral coftex; thcy change the activity of the subjugated sub cortical vegetative
centers regulating tl're functions of'tlie internal organs and upset honnonal regulation.
Mental strength determine the strength of the disease-
Charaka while explaining about the types of patients classifies them purely on the basis of mental
str'ength (Satvabala) and physical constitution (Shareerabala). In determining the disease strength
Satvapareeksha is dorre u,hich shows that a person endowed with good Satvasaara will be free frorn
diseases of both psychic and physical origin.
While describing Satvapareeksha it is said that individuals with Pravara Satva will be happy always
(Sukhayukta), capable of bearing difficulties with ease (Kleshasaha), and resistant to diseases
(Mandavikaara). Even if a Pravarasatva person has weak physique they can tqlerate serious Nija and
Aagantu diseases without much difficulty. This clearly shows the influence of mind in determining
the severity of a disease.
Psyche and Soma- the abode of illness -
The root cause of wellbeing or illness is the state of rnind or Manas. If it is sound the individual is
also sound and vice versa. Other factors rnay also have a role, but principal factors are the nral
functional states of Manas in the causation ofpsychosomatic or'Ubhayatmaka'diseases. Themodem
theory about the role of psychic influences in initiation and aggravation disease is also in tune with
the Ayurvedic concepts.
Stress - An inevitable companion of life
In the present modem life every one is under constant stress, mental stress is more prominent than
physical stress factors, Most people mix up today's activity with remorse of yestelday as well as
apprehensions of tomorrow. Further they relate every experience of life to their own profit or loss.
Every minor problem of life is morbidly interpreted until the whole outlook becomes 'clouded'" All
this contributes for the accumulation of Manasika vikaras or emotions like Kama, Krodha, Lobha,
Bhaya, Raga, Dvesha, Irshya, etc.
As a consequence, a war like situation develops in every day life and people are forced to adopt any
ways or lneasures, even if unfair or unethical to achieve the ultirnate comfortable life. The end result
of this unrvholesome attifude and activity is the silent un-rest in the contgmporary society in the
shbpe ol stress related disorders and life style disorders. Situation is so wide spread tnut one out of
evely third person is said to be psychologically up-set to some or more extent.
As aheady stated Ayurveda postulates that man is a triune of mental, physical, and spiritual factors.
The body and the mind are both the main stay of illness and wellness. The mental or psychic

conlponent of man represents an unstable equiiibriurn of Rajas and Tatlas, the twin Maanasika
Doslas that are uur..piibl. to imbalance. Satva,the third factol being responsible for mental equipoise'
These Maanasika (piychic) and Shaareelika (sornatic) Doshaas ale interdependent on each other in
health and disease states.
Pathology of stress induced disorders
The hypothalamus is the center for mind over the body phenomenon. When the cerebral cortex
interprets strong gmotions, it ofter-r sends impulses along the tracts that corurect the cortex with the
fr'poif"t"f*rur. il.,. hypothalamus then direcls impulses via the autonomic neryous system and also
,.*l*rr*, chemicals thaistirnulate the anterior pituitary.gland. This can bring a wide range of changes
in the body activities, For instance, when on. puni.iimpulses leave the hypotl-ralamus to stifirulate
his hearl to beat faster.
Likewise; continued and prolonged psychological stress can produce long term abnotmalities in'h-"
body that results i1 serious illness .uil*d u, psycirosomatic diseases. In this group of illness, although
somatic disturbances nray appear to be morc obvious clinical feature, it is likely that the continuation
of ,rrc disease. lt is of course possible that any emotional upset, which accompanies physical disease,
i;;;;iy r;condary to the pirysical disability, and it is difficult to pr.ove retrospectively that mental
disturbances antedated the sornatic disolder'.
All these ancient and modem view points make it clear beyond any doubt that the l'Ubhayatamaka"
or psyclrosomatic disease is real physical or Shareerika disease, that is related to MaauasikaYyaapaara
i,e., psyctrological processes;.Th.r" ,un adversely alTect the concerned person; some of them might

Stress leads to metabolic syndrome-
The metabolic syndrome characterized with hypertension, dyslipideamia and diabetes ale quite
;;il;;"* u i*y, and the cause of the same is well understood in terms of stress. ln Ayurveda,
er*u is identified u, un.rr"ntial pre-requirement fol such metabolic syndrome. Let us now examine
how stress lead to Aama.
While explaining about Aamapradoshaja Vyadhis, Cha|aka says when a person takes food with
mind affliCted u,ith passion, utt!.r, gr..d, confirsion, envy, bashfulness, grief, anxiety, and fear will
lead to indigestion. (Cn.M.Zlg-q) Aputt from the type, and quantity of food etc, mental afflictions
play a very-important role in causing Aama (undigested matter). Vagbhata also clarifies that any
whblesorne food consumed by an Upatapta Manas lead to Aama.
l
Stress leads to Emaciation and Immune failure also-
As stated earlier, stress may lead to Aama and metabolic syndrome: In different pathology stress
ends in Dhatukslaya or tissue depletion. Chintyaancrarn cha atichinthanaat ts anessential car'rse-fo1

(Bhibheti), over worry/ing @hyayati), rnental aversion (Dunnana) and lack of sensorial intactness
(Vyathitendriya).
Effect of stress on different body svstems-
Sedentary life style and stress is the main causative for the alarmingly increasing life style disorders
in the present scenario. The effect of modern way of living drop a great impact on almost all the
systems of.the body viz muscular system, Digestive system, Respiratory uyri.,o, Skin, Circulatorry
system. Nervous system and rnany more
Effect of stress on muscular system-
The muscles are the means of expression. Every resolution of emotion is achieved through muscle
motretnent' Prolonged levels of sfiess results in tense muscles that are contracted much of the time
complete a feedback loop and furlher stimulate the mind, resulting in heightened stress. Muscle
spasm leads to pair-r and it aggravate spasm. This is a vicious .yit.. fhis is cornmonly seen in
psychogenic backache.
Effect of stress on GI.T system-
Disorders of the digestive systetn due to psychological factols are colnmon and they may appear as
organic diseases. It is evident frorn direct and indirect observations that gastro intestinal functions
such as gastric secretion, alimentary motility and blood flow can alter with changes in ernotion.
Statements like 'I feel nauseated', 'l have no appetite'are often the physical symptoms described of
anxiety and emotional arousal. Responses to stress arousal can be measured i1 every structure all
along the digestive tract. Plrysiologist Pavlov clearly demonstrated that emotions influence the flow
of saliva' Emotional stimulations have also been"shown to induce spastic contractions of the muscles
of the esophagus, disrupting rhythrnic peristalsis and rnaking swallowing difficult and in some
situations impossible.
It is proven that when one become angry his stomach tends to secret more hydrochloric acid and
becomes engorged with blood, which is rightly said in Ayurveda as well
-Krodhat
pittam".
This hyperacidity may become powerful enough to burn his stomach lining as the membranes become
so fragile that eruptions can develop. This ir:ritation is known as ulcer. This may occur due to
depression as well, depression often leads to an increased release of gluco-corticoid honnone, this
hormone reduce the mucous lining that protects the stomach and there is reduction of blood to the
lnucous lining, thus diminishrng the natural protection afforded to the cells against caustic enzymes
and hydrochloric acid, even notmal levels of acid may damage the interio. rillr of the stomach and
intestines. Ifthis lining becomes less effective, then there are greater chances of experiencing stomach
irritation and ultimately ulcer can develop either because of too much acid due to prolonged anger
or too little rnucous protection due to feeling of helplessness and depression
InAyurveda diseases.likeAjeerna, Grahani, Atisaara etc has strong psychological causation. Shokaja
tir Bhayaja Atisaara are immediate manifestation of stress. The refeience S6oliaja Atisaara in Madhava
Nidana clearly defrnes IBS or inflarnmatory bowel disorders. In Shokaja Atisaara the person afllicted
with grief takes very little amount of food and due to the 'Ushmata of Bashpa' the fluid i' the body
gets vitiated and pnters the gastrointestinal tract, inactivate the digestive fire, vitiate the Rakta Dhatu

and expels it by rnixing with faeces. Shokaja Atisara is Kashtasadlrya in prognosis.
Disorders of upper gastrointestinal tract like anorexia, emesis etc also major conttibuted as
psychological factors. The references of Arochaka and Chardi in Ayurveda confinn tlris point.
Effect on cardiovascular system-
One of the commonest effect of the curent life style in the cardiac system is I{ypertension. About 15
-20 % of the population suffers fi'om hyperlension and 90 % of the cases are essential hypertension
which means they are of unknown origin Since the primary work of the heart is to overcome the
pressure in the arteries to rvhich the blood muscles flow, increasing blood pressure greatly the il,ork
of heart and contributes to cardio vascular problerns. Like the heart the blood vessel shows the
inherent muscle tone thdt can be aitered moment to moment by both CNS and the adrenal honnones
and noradrenaline. Psychological states such as fear, anger, and anxiety will constrict the vessels
resulting in increasing blood pressure. Another problern area is destruction of the vessels by the
infusion of fatty plaques, this disorder is called hardening of vessels ie, Atheriosclerosis.The
relationship between stress and blood vessel diseases lie in the fact that during stress arousal, honnones
epinephrir-re and cofiisol niobilize cholesterol and fats for use by the muscles. In the advanced stages
of disease the artery looses its elasticity; it elevates blood pressure, thus contributing to hyperlension
and healt diseases itself.
Each and every systern suffers due to stress. Bronchial asthma, psoriasis. headaches, diabetes etc are
strongly psychogenic in origin
Doshic constitution and its'management through psychic approach-
Ayurveda puts special emphasis on the constitution of Manas. All rneasures of preservation of health
and cure of diseases are based on the consideration of constitution of the individual. Care has to be
taken in type of food, rqgimen to be followed for rnaintaining the balanced state of the bodily humors;
various emotional factors, for instance-, easily derange the Doshic constitution
L Excessive Chinta or worry, Bhaya or fear and Shoka or grief causes accumulation of Vatadosha
causing somatic disturbances.
2. Krodha or anger causes Pittavriddhi.
3. Nishkriya or idleness and Aalas ya or laziness causes Kaphavriddhi
While explaining the various treatment medicines and procedures certain psychic approach is also
mentioned which shorvs tl-re role of psychic factor in the treatment aspect for instance:-
1. In Vataroga, m.anagement Aaswaasana (consolation), Harshana (delighting) Vitraasana
(frightening), Visrnaapana (making to recollect), and Visrnaarana (rnaking to tbrget) should be
adopted.
2, In Pittaroga, all Soumya Bhavas should be used i.e., physically and mentally soft and pleasant
things and hearing prosperity things of others.
3. In Kapharoga, Sukha Pratishedha i.e., regirnens opposite to comforl should be adopted,
Al.un'edic approach of psychosomatic disorders -
As stated by Charaka the Rajas anC the Tarnas are the morbid factor affecting the mind. Among the
disorders brought about by are Raaga (desire), Krodha (anger), Lobha (greed), lrshya (envy), Chinta
(anxiety), Shoka (rernorse), Bhaya (fear), and Harsha (exhilaration). Vata, Pitta and Kapha are the
...........+ 41 +...........

66. Global Ayurved Cortference & Healtlr Expa 2009 Life Stvle Disorders
morbid factors affecting the body. Among the disordels lrrought about by these rnorbid factors are
Jwara, Atisaara, Shotha, Kshaya, Swaasa, and Kushtira etc,
For both kinds of morbid factors (psychic and soinatic) the existing factors are narnely tluee i.e., 1.
Asaatnyendriyafiha San'ryoga 2. Pradnyaaparaadha and 3. Parin4ama, There are conrlnon exciting
factors for both physical and rnental disorders as a result of which one fbllows the other. In this
context Chala'apani comnrented up on the word "Parasparam" and suggested four possibilities
1) Souratic diseases affecting other somatic diseases
2) Psyehic diseases affecting other"psychic diseases
3) Psychic diseases affecting sonratic diseases
4) Sornatic diseases affecting psychic diseases.
Arnong these psychic disorders influencing somatic diseases is of special significance and
confinns the concept of psyehssomatic diseases. Sirnilarly ce(ain emotional factors also
influence the course of illness and are evident fion, the foilorving statement by Acharya Charaka-
1,. 'Vishaaclo rogat,arcllnnaanaan't '(Mental
depression is the top aggravator of somatic diseases)
2. 'Dortrmarxasyam avrishyaanaam' (Drsguqt is the top as an antivililistic)
3. 'Slrclia sosltanncmaam'(Grief is the top cause of ernaciation)
4.'Nivritti pushtikaraarroqm'(Inactivity is the top cause of growth)
5. 'sarunqnasyanx garbhajanarrean.t'(Healthy rnind is the best for pregnancy)
Role of Manas in cure of a disease-
It is well known that meat is superior in anabolic effect (Mamsant brintltanartnaant). Charaka also
stated that knowledge is the superior anabolic. Vidltqe brimhanaana,arii, (Ch. Su. 30/ l5).
Chakrapani clarifies this as Manobrirnhana. Brimhana is induced by soukliya only. All anabolic
agents like Aswagandha, Shatavari or Kapikacchu etc are psychotropics. Mood elevators included
in Vaajikarana like Yashtimadhu etc are also Medhya. Aahaara (food articles) can be sub
classified as Satvika, Raajasa or Taamasa. This information can also be used in practice. Manas
cannot be any way excluded in management of an illness.
Ayurvedic therapeutic line in ps5'chic disorders-
The excellent most medicine in Manodoslia is Dhpe, Dhairya and Aatrnadividnyaana" Dhee is nothing
other than intellect. Dhairya is courage. Aatmadividnyaana is self-realization. Explaining the
management strategy of Manodosha Charaka highlights five aspects of techniques of Satvaavajaya,
These are still the essential components of psychotherapy or counseling of present era. They include
Jnaana, Vidnyaana, Dhairya, Srnriti and Samaadhi, Dnyaana isAadhyatmadnyaana or self-analysis.
Vdnyaana is Shaastradnyaana (Specific information). Dhairya isAnunnati Chethasah orreassurance.
Smriti is Anubhoota $maranam or review. Samaadhi rs Vishayeblryo nivartha eatmani manasolt

Chandola, Dept. of Kayachikitsa, I.P.GT. & R.A., G.A.U., Jarnnagar.
Kel'rvords: Mental health, DM, Chirayata, Saraswata Chooma, Manasika Bhavas, "HamiltonAnxiety
and Depression Rating Scale".
Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the diseases where psychological factors play an
important role in the initiation, progression and exacerbation of the disease. During emotional stress,
through activation of Autonomic Nervous System and hypothalamus, different neuro-endocrine
changes occur, which in tutn affect the normal homeostasis of the body. These factors affect the
blood sugar level by activating hormones like Catecholamine, Growth Hormone, ACTH and
Glucocorlicoids antago nizing the effect o f insulin.
In survey study of 100 patients of DM (Madhumeha) done at I. P. G. T. & R.A. Jamnagar; disfurbance
in Manasika Bhavas has been noted i.e. Chinta (70%), Udvega 6go6),Krodha (69%),Shoka (4g%)
and Bhaya (2\o/o).It is further supported by evaluation based on "Hamilton Anxiety and Depression
Rating Scale". This derangement in Manasika Bhavas caused by stress has a great impact on variations
in blood sugar level.
Tire present study has been designed with the objectives to evaluate the role of Manasika Bhavas in
the aetiopathogenesis of DM and to assess the efficacy of Chirayata Ghanavati (Swer"tla Chirata-
lngredient of Lodhrasava refened in Ch. Chi. 6). in management of DM and also to assess the
efficacy of Saraswata Chooma (Brahmi, Shankhapushpi, Vacha, Kushtha, Ashwagandha, pippali,
Jirak, Ajwaina etc. referred in Bhaishajya Ratnavali Umnadadhikara) in improving the mental health
irr diabetics and ultimately affecting the better control of blood sugar level. The patients treated with
Clrirayata Ghanavati had mearr chronicity of about 2 years with stress (22%) and had significant
reductioninFBs (25%)andPPBS(25.57%).ThepatientswhowereadministeredSaraswataChoorna
along with Chirayata Ghanavati had mean chronicity of disease of about 5 years with stress (57%)
and had significant reduction in their FBS (20%) and PPBS (13%). Moreover in this group 28%
patients had chronicity of more than 10 years. This group has provided better relief in the mental
health of the patients highlighting the role of disturbed Manasika Bhavas in the progression and
progrtosis of the disease and response to the treatment. Hence, due importance should be given for
preservation and promotion of mental health in DM along with principal drug therapy.

Introduction : As the civilization improved diseases also evolved as a negative effect of development.
Among them diabetes mellitus is one.and prime. Diabetes mellitus is caused by a spectrum of
diverse etiologies resulis in chronic hyperglycemia and complications related to it. The earlier
diagnosed the better complications prevented. Principally diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder
with variable clinical manifestations and progression.
The longstanding hyperglycemia adversely affects multiple organ systems especially heaft, kidney,l
eyes and sensory nerves. Diabetic polyneuropathy leads to burning sensation in soles of feet and
Paraesthesiae. The loss of sensation in feet's plays an important cause for thg development of pressure
sores which does no-t heal.and ultimately terminating into diabetic gangrene. The development of
gangrene forces theidoctor to take drastic life saving steps as amputation, which rnakes the patient
pennanently:immobile. Hence in diabetics, prevention and management of Polyneuropathy is of
utmost importance.
The present study is a Clinical trial to access the efficacy of Dashmoolakwatha in group A and
VasantkusumakarraSa in group B in rrranagement of Diabetic Polyneuropathy.

Introductionr Ayurveda the science of life, not only deals with the prevention of diseases thereby to
maintain health but also with the alleviation of diseases. Ayurveda has given unique importance to
Neurological diseases since the era of Vedas and later on in Samhita Kala the study of these diseases
was done more elaborately.
In this ultra modernized era due to change in life styles, sedentary works and food habits etc,
people are unable to follow the Dinach arya andRitucharya as explained in our science, which may
lead to different kinds of diseases.

With the evolution of the erect posture in man, most of the functions of weight bearing were taken
over by the lower limbs and the upper limbs gladually become organs which have a great manipulative
skills. The unique position of man as a master mechanic of the animal kingdom is because of skilled
movements of his hands and when this shoulder joints get obsfiucted, we call it as Avabahuka.
While looking into a comprehensive.management for Avabahuka (cervical radiculopathy), we do
not find satisfactory management in mqdern medical science. Various effective treatment modalities
have been mentioned in our classics regarding this disease. In order to reverse the,pathogenesis,
Shodhana is advised initially followed by Shamana therapies. Nasya is the most effective treatment
methodology in Avabahuka along with Prasariniyadi Kashaya.
Here an effort is made to.study and understand the Nidana, Samprapti, Poorya Roopa, Roopa, Chikitsa
and Sadhyasadhyata aspects elaborately. Nasyakarma, Abhyanga, Swedana and Shamanaushadhi
have a great role in the treatment aspect of this disease.

and races. Overweight and obesity are well documented risk factor for a variety of diseases attributable
including,coronary heart diseases, hlper-tension, type-Z diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis and certain
cancers. Thus there is, indeed, reason for concetn.Ayurveda referred obesity as Medoroga, a
Santarpanothha Vyadhi. Genetic factors, honnonal imbalance and improper life style predispose to
obesity. Core pathogenic mechanism of obesity and its clinico-pathological symptoms with entirety
has been rnentioned in Ayurvedic classics.
To learn natural history of a disease and to search for factors that cause disease is our prime objective.
This is the retrospective observational survey study among 100 obese individuals irrespective of
their sex, occupation, prakriti, caste and religion in Mumbai suburbs" We planed to offer age limit of
20 to 50 years.

To educate people about the lrazardous and morbid effects f obesity, to spread awarsness about
obesity as suspected risk factor for CHD, hyper{ension, diabetes mellitus etc. and guide them towards
correct dietary habit is the need of hour.
Abundant of herbal and animal products including several metals/ minerals incorporated with herbs
have been described for cure of diabetes in ancient literature. Special regirnent of di.t, with bitter
vegetables has been mentioned to be most helpfrrl to diabetic patients in Ayurveda. Thus, the
indigenously available medicines and technology can prove an asset in the tropical and developing

time it may cause other diseases. In Samhitas some other conditions are also lnoi.ut.Ju, ;;;il;;;
of Sthaulya which includes Prameha- pidika, vidradhi etc. Prameha itself is a Medodhatujanyaroga
so Prameha Pidika also having same. Similarly Pidika, Arbuda like diseares'url ulfo

:,
Obesity is a condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to such an extent that can affect
once health negatively. In modern days obesity is defined in terms of Body Mass Index. Several
health hazards. and social disabilities are associated with obesity. Increased mortality is associated
with increased body weight. A high rate of mortality and morbidity results from diabetes mellitus,
high blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol levels, heart disease, stroke, cancer, gallstones, infertility,
joint problems, back pain. While indicating the severity of this condition i.e. obesity/ Sthaulya,
Charakacharya mentioned it underAshtau-nindita Purusha. According to classical texts also obesity/
Sthaulya can lead to hazardous conditions like Prameha, Jwara, Pakshaghat, Hrudroga, high blood
prpssure, Vandhyatva, etc. Before it appears in a larger scale we should try to control it by the
preventive rneasures described in the old classical Samhitas so that the upcoming life style diseases

Vd. Raghavendra Nadargi (P.G Ssholar), Prof. Vd. Mrs. Y. V. Joshi. H.O.D.
Department of Basic principles, C.O.A., B.V.U. Pune 43
Acharya Charaka had explained many combinations of drugs in a single Chikitsa $utra of a particular
disease. e.g. Kaphaj Atisaara - I 1 combinations of drugs, Atisthaulya -- 8, Charaka had never expected
that one could blindly select and use any combination out of these combinations, in any type of
patient or any stage of that disease.
These combinations of drugs should be selected and applied according to the Prakruti, Satva, etc. of
the patient. It is necessary to contemplate this concept thoroughly before applying it for clinical
study. Obesity is a major lifestyle disorder in present era. It is explained in this paper with following
points.

Need for the Study: Snehapana is an important Poorvakarma in Kayavirechana. In Shodhananga
Snehapana a large quanfity ofAushadhi Siddha Sneha is consumed whiEh is quite unusual for every
individual in tetms ofquantity as well as taste. This creates sudden refusal ofcontinuance oftreatment
or premature development of Snehodvega makes physician to prepare the patient for Shodhana
procedure mere impossible. This made us to think about effective .alternative to counter the
drawbacks, The later authors like Chakrapani and Sharangadhara have advocated fuohanakrama
Matra. So we are taking this study.
Hypothesis: Basti has been mentioned as ene among Sneha Pravicharana which is said for those
whp refuse Snehapana. When we see indications and mode of action of both Snehapana aud
Anuvasanabasti both are quite similar.
Objective of Study: To compare effectiveness of Snehapana and Matrabasti as Poorva karma for
Shodhana.
Method of Study: Ten patients each in two groups those who are fit for shodhana are taken for

Ayurveda is the science of life, principally based on the "Tridosha theory". Now days we are suffering
from problems created by ourselves. Multiple uses of several chemicals in industries, incfeased use
of vehieles, changes in environment are the main factors which lead to air-pollution. Due to this air
pollution, contaminated water, irregular diet habits, Tridoshas will be vitiated. This vitiated Doshas
with predorninance of Vata lead to cause Peenasa. Now days, the percentage of people suffering fiom
Peenasa is increased. If not treated properly it lead to Dushta Pratishyaya and multiple complications
will arise .To prevent all these complications we should reat in time. For that I selected Nasya and
internal medicine.

Health is defined as a state of complete Physical, Mental and Social well being and not merely an
absence of disease. But now a day's people in metros, especially who are working in IT/BPO field
are found to be suffering from many problerns mainly of Psychological origin. This is mainly because
of their change in life style to adjust with their occupation.
These psychllogical p.oblems arise when the *ort"., failure to adapt to an alien Psychosocial
environment. Frustration, lack ofjob satisfaction, insecurity, poor human relationships, ernotional
tension are some of the psycho social factors which may eflect both physical and mental health of
the workers.
As Ayurveda is a science of life it has an important role in the management of occupational stress,
as itis mainly due to the change in life style.
"Moordhni-taila" is a unique concept ofAyurveda, by which one can enhance the mental functions.
As Shirodhara is one among the Moordhni Taila, it will definitely have some effect over the
psychological problems due to the occupation.

Dr. Abhijit S. Agre. Guide: Dr. R .G. Dole. Reader
Shalakya Tantra Dept., BVUCOA, Pune
Introduction -'Sirajal'is a Shuklagat Vyadhi of Netra, its main cause is Rakta Dushti.
:
Sign & Symptoms of Sirajal are described as Congestion (Torluous, hard episcleral blood vessels
networ*) i.e. NetraAraktata Rarely Mild pain in eye i.e. Netra Shool.
Yogratnakar suggested the 'Shatawaryadi Choorna' as a treatment on Rakta Doshaj Vyadhi of
Netra. "shatawaryadi Choorna" -
l) Shatavari Choorna -
12 parts. 2) Ela seeds Choorna -
10 parts.
3) Vidanga Choorna 8 par1s. )Amalaki Seed Choorna -
5 parts
5) Maricha Choorna -
4 parts.6) Pippali Choorna *
3 parts
So the Shatawaryadi Choorna (Orally) along with Goghrita is selected for the treatrnent in the Sirajal.
According to modern science it is an inflammation.of the episcleral veins. Episcleritis is commonly
presented as relatively asymptomatic. Most cases are idiopathic; some cases have an underlying
systemic condition. Some cases may be caused by exogenous inflammatory stimuli. The red
appearance caused by this condition looks similar to conjunctivitis, subconjunctival hemorrhage.
As sign and symptom of Sirajal and Episcleritis resembles with each other. Here I had applied the
modem science to rediscover and validate the Ayurveda's secrets.
l
Aims: Study the elficacy of Shatawaryadi Choorna in Sirajal w.s.r. to Episcleritis.

Key words ; Life Style Factors.
Present day health challenges to health are the changes in the life style caused by stressful schedule
of life. The rising trends in obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hair graying, initability and
sexual aversions are common problems encountered by today's clinicians. The approach tq these
problerns in western medicine is to target lesions and to suppress various biochemical interactions
in the body" The Unani system of medicine offers a viable alternative to address these problems.
According to the concept of health and disease in Unani System of Medicine, human body has two
states i.e. healthy state and disease state. As describe by great Unani sages that, "There are certain
causes of health and diseases." The causes for health are called as, Asbab-e-Sitta Zarooriya (The
Six Life Styte Factors) viz. Air, Food and Beverages, Physical Activity and Repose, Mental
Activity and Repose, Sleep and Wakefulness, Retention and Execution. These essential factors
are those which influence the body throughout the life.
As all living creatures have qualities associated with them, so too do each of the six life style
factors. The food and drinks we consume, the weather, our environment and our emotions, all exert
different qualities of heat, coldness, moistness and dryness that can either be of benefit or detriment
to us. The present paper will emphasize the importance of these. The six Life Style Factors (Asbab-
e-Sitta Zarcanya), that how it can be a solution to present health challenges Inshallah.

Role of Nasya Karma in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome -
A Clinical Study
Dr Paresh Chougule, MD (Sch), Panchakarma, SDM College of Ayurveda, Kuthpady, Udupi.
Keywords : Nasyakarma, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Vataprakopak Lakshanas
Inffoduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome is a neuropaihy of upper extremity and results from entrapment
of median nerve within Carpal tunnel. Common entrapment neuropathies include ulnar nerve at the
cubital tunnel, posterior tibial nerve at the tarsal tunnel, common peroneal nerve at the fibular head
and median nerve at the wrist i.e. carpal tunnel. Most entrapped nerves contain both motor and
sensory fibers, so both types of symptoms occur, usually in the distribution of the affected nerve.
Signs and symptoms of Carpal tunnel syrrdrome can be correlated with Vataprakopa Lakshanas.
Here an attempt is made to assess the elficacy of Nasya karma in these Lakshanas.

Dr.Shivprasad chiplunkar, Dr.Mrs.K.V.Indapurkar, Shareer Kriya Dept.tsvUCoA, pune
Background and Objectives of Research: This study was designed to estimate the prevalence of
stress taking tendency in people of different Prakrutis and to find out any references in ancient
classics that may indicate the modem day phenomenon of stress.
Methods of Study: 1) Literary study: In this all the classical treatises of Ayurueda were studied in
order to find any references that may indicate the modem day phenomenon of stress and a detailed
study of Frakruti was also done.
2) Practical study: with the help of a psychogalvanometer galvanic skin resistance of 100 subjects
was taken and later compared with his/ her prakruti.
Results: Out of the 100 subjects taken for the study 47 belonged to Vatapradhan prakruti
32 belonged
to Pittapradhan Prakruti andzl belonged to vatapradhan prakruti.
The galvanic skin resistance lnean was found to be 306 in Kaphapradhan Prakru ti,Z91in Vatapradhan
Prakruti and272 in Pittapradhan prakruti
subject.
lnterpretation and Conclusions: From the study we can conclude that the Galvanic skin resistance
was less in Pittapradhan Prakruti group i.e. stress taking tendency was more and Galvanic skin
resistance was more in Kaphapradhan Prakruti group i.e. stress taking tendency was less. The
theoretical studies conducted in all classical texts also matched with the practical findings. So
conclusion was drawn that Pittapradhan Prakruti people have higher susceptibility to stress and
Kaphapradhan Prakruti people have lesser susceptibility to stress.

As the civilization grows advanced, man has become more vulnerable for many neurological
conditions due to life style, high expectation, unwanted stress, competition and pseudo society status.
He adopted many new habits like alcohol consumption, smoking, tobacco and drug abuse. All these
leads to many "Life style disorder". Among which, Pakshaghata is a common presentation, leading
to high incidence of morbidity and rnortality. Pakshaghata can be correlated with Hemiplegia of
modem medicine. The disease Hemiplegia is characterizedby more or less sudden paralysis affecting
one side of the body as well as ,.rrrory motor, visual and ipeech functions. Hemiplegia has threi
types of mode of onset i.e. sudden, recurrent and gradual. There are lots of causes of Herniplegia
such as C. V. A., carotid insufficiency, thrombosis, hypertensive encephalopathy, haemStopa,
contusion, growth, etc. According to Ayurvedic Classics, Pakshaghata is characterized by loss of
function and mobility of half of the body either right or left, pain and disturbed speech. The cause of
Pakshaghata is Kupita Vay'u. In Vata Vyadhi generally depending upon the involved Anubandha
Dosha or Dushya, treatment is advised. For Vata Dosha, Snehana, Swedana, Mridu Samshodhana
are selective therapies. Bastikarma is the ultimate treatment modality advised for Vatavyadhi.
Nasyakarma do have a role in Vatavyadhi, since there is Vikruti in the Mastishka, Marmasthana,
Nasyakarma is generally advisable. The pretreatment and post treatment analysis of the subject

Trigenrinal neuralgia is the functional disorder of the sensory division of the trigeminal nerve
cha-racterized by unilateral, intermittent & brief lancinating pain in the face'
It occurs usually after middle age & more common in female. May entails a fault in the tnechanism
that insulates neurons fi-om each other. This disorder usually begins in the distribution of lower
division; the ophthalmic division is less commonly affected.
pain
sometimes confined to one branch of a division. Tendency for pain to commence locally and
,uCr.qu.*ly spread in each attack. Pain duration is only a few seconds rarely half, a minute or
longei during utturk, the face is often thrown into a strong involuntary tonic spasm on the affected
side.
The current aetiological hypotheses suggest that the neuralgia is most commonly caused by
compression of the tiigeminal nerve rootlets at their entry to the brain stem by aberrant loop of the
cereLellar arteries. wien trigeminal neuralgia occurs in multiple sclerosis, there is a plaque of
demyelination in the trigeminal root entry zone. Al aspects we will explain in details with the help

physiology of human body permits. Viz: irregular and unnatural food habits, suppression of natural
urges, lack of proper sleep and less time for relaxation are the inseparable parts of our routine which
enervate body and finally lead to the diseass. These physical factors, along with ever-riding stressful
psychological conditions contribute to most of neurological diseases. People cannot pay attention to
their physical and mental health. As a result commonest symptom attribute Tension headache as one
amongst such psychosomatic diseases.
In Ayurved such diseases are covered under umbrella of Majjavaha Srotas & thus pointing towards
its causative factors. Interpreted as l.ViruddhaAnnapan - the abnormal molecules are present which
are either treated as toxins directly or the foreign bodies and treated likewise. These processes
disturb the microenvironment of the body and depress the marrow functioning. 2. Atyabhishyandi-

Keywords: Ashtaunindita, Shleshmavriddhi, Dhatwagni, Yoga & Naturopathy Sthaulya- Obesity
is being paid more and more attention now days. It's because of mainly two reasons. One is of
cosmetic purpose as it is described underAshtaunindita. And another important is of health purpose
as it could be the ploduction house of valious diseases as mentioned in Charaka Samhita Sutrasthan
chapter twenty one. Sthaulya can be categorized according to its two different Samprapti. One of
them occurs due to Shleshmavriddhikar Nidanasevana. Shleshrnavriddhi leads to Vriddhi or vitiation
of its similar natured of Dushyas like Meda, Mamsa etc. (Apa and Prithvi Mahabhuta Dominant)
according to Samanya Vishesha Siddhant. It can also be understood as physiological Sthaulya. Another
type of Samprapti of Sthaulya can be explained by Agnidushti, which is mainly due to
Dhatwagnimandya as described by Ashtang Hridaya Sutrasthana chapter 11. Therefore the approach
to management of Sthaulya ditTers according to its Sampraptivishesha. By keeping this concept in
mind clinical data of drug administration in Sthaulya and Sthaulya treated by Yogic and Naturopathic
procedures will be discuss in the full paper.

Keyrvords: Obesity, Dietary Regimen, Asbabe Sitta Zarooriya
Obesity is a clinical term used for generalized accumulaCon of excess fat in the body. It is one of thg
most morbid conditions in present health scenario. The prevalence of obesity in both deveioped and
developing countries is high. Approxirnately 10% of Indian population is obese. Where in US 25%'
34% of the adult population is obese, This is a primary public health problem, because it leads to
many severe ailments like atherosclerosis, DM, Hypertension, arthritis, CVA, CVD and IHD as well
as CA. etc.
With current medical treatment of obesity failure rate of over 95Yo at 5 years has been observed.
Hence drugs have no significant role to reduce weight. They are not effective after 6 months, beqause
patients regain appetite due to tolerance. There are so many factors responsible for obesity but most
common cause is overeating, therefore in case of obesity management dietary regimen should be
preferred. Hippocrates has well said in this regard that "Leave your drugs in chemist's pots if you
san heal the patient with food" Food is one of the most important component inAsbabe Sitta Zarooiya
(Six Essential factor) responsible for health and disease.
In classical literature of Unani system of medicine, there are various methods for management of
obesity; the dietary regimen is one of them.
The detail of this concept will be discussed in full length paper'

Dr.Viraj Manerikar - Dr.Shylajakumari MD
Inability to copulate i.e. infertility is a seldom, if ever a physical debilitating disease .It may
however affect the couples psychological harmony, sexual life and social function. Teratospermia, a
condition in which the Abnormal Sperm percentage exceeds more than 40 % in an Ejaculate,
contributing towards 23o/o amongst all infertile men. Basically Teratospermia occurs due to
malfunctioned Spermatogenesis. Acharya Charaka has explained that Vata and Shukragni plays
vital role in formation of Shukra Dhatu.
Jeevantyadi Yamaka acts as a Shodhana as well as Brimhana. Acharya Charaka opines that
Jeevantyadi Yamaka increases Shukragni and rectifies the morbid Doshas. Sushruta Acharya has
mentioned that Aphrodisiac medicines are more potent when administered through Uttara Basti.
Thus Jeevantyadi Yamaka triggers the Spermatogenesis for proper sperm formation. With this
hypothesis a clinical study was conducted on 8 paiients who were diagnosed to be suffering from
Teratospermia, in the SJIIMAyurveda Hospital Bangalore, where in it was concluded that Jeevantyadi
Yamaka administered through Uttara Basti is highly signihcant in treating Teratospermia. The detailed

Keywords: Arsha, Shaddharan Churna, Kshar-sutra
Ayurveda is an intricate system of healing that originated in India thousands of years ago.
We can find historical evidenees ofAyurveda in the ancient books ofwisdom known as the Vedas.ln
the Rig Veda, over 60 preparations were mentioned that could be used to assist an individual in
overcoming various ailments. The Rig Veda was written over 6000 years ago, but really Ayurveda
has been around even longer than that. What we see is that in essenceAyurveda has been in existence
since the beginning of time because we have always been governed by nature's laws. Hemorrhoids
are one ofthe commonest ailments affecting the mankind. Its notoriousness can be understood by an
example- Hitler would have won the battle, if he would have been trea.ted for hemorrhoids. As
origin ofArsha is due to accumulation of Mala & Dosha, specificallyApana Vayu which is normally
responsible for physiological functions of the lower gut & plays a major role in the development of
Arsha. Taking all these points into consideration a clinical study is done to explore the efficacy of
Shaddharan Chuma along with Kshar.sutra.

Now a global paradigm shift form a mechanized view of reduetionism towards a holistio concept in
healthcare is seen with events as possibilities interconnecting each plane in the human system. This
emphasized the interdependence ofbody, mind, emotions and the environment in dealingwith health
and disease. This reflects the fundamental uniformity throughout naturs, mind, and matter which
helps to comprehend the conventional Western bipolar approach within the ancient system. This
encompasses the semiotic change of reasoning rather than sensible entities which facilitates the

Tissue Culture
Shivaleela A.M. Kudari, Gadag
Tissue culture is an important area of biotechnology. Gennan scientist Haberlandt put fofth
the idea of cell and tissue culture in i902. It is used in agriculture, horticulture, forestry, plant
bleeding and improvement. Now-a-days widely applying in the physiology, Medicine, Anatomy,
biochemistry microbiology, pharmacology, genetics and genetic engineering.
Issue culture is a technique in which cells or tissues of organisms ale isolated and grown in
an artificially prepared nutrient mediurn under septic conditions. Government of India since last 2
decades has promoted plant tissue culture. Tissue culture is very much beneficial for protecting and
propagating valuable and rare medicinal plants. It gives the new ideologies of alarming bio technical
era.
Technique of Powder Microscopy and ,r, ;;;etect Adulteration (or Standardization)
of Raw Drugs
Vd. Avalaskar Amit Dattatray, Depaftment: Dravyaguna Vidnyan,
Sumatibhai Shah Ayurved Mahavidyalaya, Hadapsar, Pune.,
Keywords: Standardization, Powder microscopy, Adulteratiorr
Microscopy is an important tool in standardization of organized raw material. Microscopy is
very sensitive and detects even slight adulteration which rnay have remained undetected in physichl
evaluation and phytochemical analysis. Microscopy is simple, cost effective. Organized raw materials
are available rn 2 forms-dried pieces and powder. Powders are widely used by Ayurvedic
plactitioners, Ayurv'edic pharmacies and common man as home remedy. Powders are often adulterated
in the markets. Therefore standardization of powdered drug is very important for best efficacy. The
study is undertaken to find out genuineness of commonly used Ayurvedic raw materials. Each
Ayurvedician must know the technique of powder microscopy and standard microscopic pictures of
powdered drugs. Powder microscopy is best performed in 4 steps. In each step the powder is treated
with different reagent to observe different cellular structures viz parenchyma, xylem, stone cells,
and starch calcium oxalate crystalslhe f;o'wdered drug is identified by its size, shape, presence and
contents of these cellular structures. These characters make the raw drug 'distinct'from others. The
adulteration is confirmed when any cellular structure which is different than described in monograph
is observed, under microscope. Powdel microscopy techniques are shown in video clips. Cellular
structures are depicted. Microscopic photographs of some important and commonly usedAyurvedic
plants are shown.

Keywords: Irnmunomodulation, Lagenaria siceraria fruit, delayed type hypersensitivity, Humoral
ntibody titre.
Introductiont Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standley (family: cucurbitaceae), commonly known
as I-auki (Hindi) and bottle gourd (English), is a medicinal plant and utilizable species. The plant
enjoys the reputation of being one of the earliest plants to be domesticated on the earth. The plant
is used in Indian folk medicine to feat asthma, pain inflammation fever, leprosy, rhinitis, and
bronchitis.
Aims and Objectives: To investigate effect of different exffacts of Lagenaria Siceraria fruit for
their imrnunomodulatory aetivity.
Materials and Methods: Isolation of the constituents and its effect on screening models for
immunomodulation like delayed type hypersensitivity and antibody titre.
Results and Discussion:Bioactivity guided fractionation led to separation of oleanolic acid, a mixture
of beta sitosterol and cornpesterol (from n butanol soluble fractiort), isoquerctrin and kaempefreol
(from ethyl acetate soluble ftaction). Oleanolif acid and isoquercitrin were tested further for their
effect of phagocytosis, numeral immune response and cellular immune response in experimental
animals. They were found to increase antibody titer (a measure of humoral immune.response) and
inhibit delayed type hypersensitivity (a measure of cellular immune rpsponse) significantly (p <
0.05) in rats. Both these compourrds increased rate of carbon clearance significantly (p < 0.05) in
mice indicating increased phagocytosis. The results were in accordance with the previously published
phannacological data on oleaniolic acid and isoquercitrin.
Conclusion:This is the first repoft on the presence of isoquercitrin, oleaniolic acid and kaempefreol
in the fruit of Lagenaria siceraria. These compounds may account at first in parl, for the use of
Lagenaria siceraria fruit in folk medicine to treat various diseases involving imnrunological
backgrounds.

Kelnvords: Multi herbal formulation, Free radical scavenging activity, Adaptogenic
Introduction: Medicinal plants possess great value in the field of treatment and cure of the diseases,
so that many of the modern orthodox medicines are based on medicinal herbs. Horneopathy is one
of the alternative systems of medicine having a well documented pharmacopoeia. It has become
common practice, now in Homeopathic system similar to modern system of medicine of providing
multi-herbal formulation. These formulations contain tincture of herbal products and minerals either
in combination or in singular form. The honreopathic system of the medicine relies mainly on plants
and minerals as drug components. There were several herbo-mineral formulations available, which
were claimed for their potential as tonic. One of such homeopathic formulation containing adaptogenic
plants, as ingredients was prepared in the laboratory. The laboratory formulation was subjected to
evaluation ofpreliminary phytochemical, physicochemical and in-vitro free radical scavenging activity
and compared with that of the marketed formulation. The formulation as well as the individual
components exhibited free radical scavenging activity. The total pherrolic content of the fomulation
and of the individual components were determined and correlated with the free radical scavenging
activity. The present study showed that the horneopathic medicine administered even in much diluted
form exhibited significant in-vitro free radical scavenging activity i.e which basically contains tincture
herbal drugs and minerals.

The authors have identified major illness occurring in tribes of Gujarat. They are skin
affections, hair loss, indigestion, flatulence, stomatitis, fissures, constipation, osteoporosis, earache,
diarrhea, dysentery liver disorders, jaundice piles, hyper-acidity, migraine, joints pain, conjunctivitis,
cataracts, goiter, tnalaria, bronchitis, spongy gums, asthma and dental caries, hypeftension, iron and
calcium deficiency, renal calculi, kidney dysfunction and anorexia.
The authors have developed a programme that includes easy symptornatology for diagnosis
and the simple therapies involving herbal drugs to treat many of the afore listed illnesses.

History of anirnal experiments were found in different classical literature Unani, Ayurveda
and different system of medicine. But in Indian system of medicine mainly Ayurveda and Unani
have the vast ocean of knowledge in there classical literature, they are quite rich to discus how to
evaluate new drug therapeutic properties, nature of action with its own methods. In Unani medicine
it has its own method to assess the action of drug, toxicity, dose and indication and indeed it is very
essay, chief and quite accu{ate. The earliest references of animal testing are found in Unani system
of medicine in the second and fourth centuries BCE. Aristotle (384-322BCE) and Erasistratus
(304-258 BCE) were among the first to perform experirnents on living animals. Galen, a physician
in second-centuly Rome, dissected pigs and goats, and is known as the
o'father
of vivisection"
But the question arises here that how we can conduct animal experiments without
understanding the basic principal of the Unani system ofmedicine, despite Unani systems ofmedicine
have vety vast and'massive history of clinical trails conducted by our ancient physicians? The
details will be discussed in full length paper.

Introduction: Infertility is an emerging enigma in current day to day life and is been estimated as
16.7% contribution of male factor alone to this total infertility is reported 26.2% to 46.60/o (Insler
and Lunenfeld, 1993) Vajikarana Tantra being one of the prime branches of Ashtanga Ayurveda,
deals with the measures to increase libido, raise in sperm count in an Avaji (loss of libido) person
and the management of various disorders of male reproductive system. Shahnali being mentioned
in Vajikarana yoga'sr'2 is been currently taken up for the experimental study. The dosage forms
Ksheerapaka and aqueous extracts were selected. The present experimental study includes

was done. - Prostate gland, Seminal vesicle, levator ani muscle and adrenal glald. Results obtained
during study are tabulated and statistically analyzed.
Results: There was a significant increase in weight of Levator ani muscle, prostate gland and adrenal
glarrd in group 1 rats compared to Group 2, Group 4 &.6.
Discussion: Castration of rats caused sudden declination in androgen level resulting in shrinkage of
accessory reproductive glands, again the increase in weight of these glands in drug treated gro,rp,
might be due to the slight increase in production testosterone in adrenal gland.
Conclusion: Increased weight of the accessory reproductive glands suggested basically anabolic
activity there by enhancing Vajikarana Karma.

Rasayana,
which is aimed at promotion of overall strength and vitality of the individual.
Majority of Ayurvedic plant products have been experimentally proven for their
Immunomodulating activity, where in the focus is on In Vivo Hepatoprotective activity. In the recent
years, with increased resistance for animal experimentation. In vivo Studies, there has been a
significant change in the way toxicity testing of test component is conducted and emphasis has
changed from in vivo animal methods to in vitro toxicity methods. Thus various methods of In vitro
have been evolved. One of these is studies on cell line. Immunological studies on lymphocytes and
macrophages, proves the specific activity of the drug on the cell. Jeevanti is documented to have
Jeevaneeya, Rasayana, Vayasthapana activities but till now no scientific studies were carried out to
confirm the rationale behind it.
In the present study two dosage forms of Jeevanti (i.e., aqueous extract and Kashaya) are
taken and the study was designed after pilot study -

pune
Keywords : Virya, Bhaishajya Kalpana
Introduction: Drug Formulations of intact herbal Dravya (Bheshaja) has action mostly depending
upon its "VIRYA". Though some Dravya (Bheshaja) have Rasa, Vipaka and Prabhav as a Causative
factor for action, Virya is most often responsible factor for action of any drug, Single or compound
form. Thus Concept of Virya is predominantly important for comprehending the action of new
herbal formulations (Bhaishajya kalpana)
Aims and Objectives: Concept of Virya is applied in eacfr and every step of drug formulation.
Study ofBasic Priniciples and its application ofdrug formulations (Bhaishajya kalpana) in Samhitas.
Materials and Methods: Some of the principle features can be summarized in following way:
1. a) Combination of analogous-Virya Dravyas illustrates Synergistic effect.

Ayurved is unfathomable in its treasures. Supported by Mother Nature, it remains a mystery as to
how the seers were able to pinpoint a particular drug for a particular ailment. Here the science hhs
taken aid frorn a number of philosophies. To naute some; the Satkarya Vada or the Karya Karana
Siddhant, the Kshanabhangura Vada, Panchamahabhuta Siddhanta etc. Being a thorough science it
cannot be in the least of possibilities that the greatAcharyas chose a particular drug by shser instinct.
This paper is a hypothetical venture to illustrate some of the deep ttrinking presumably made by our
Aptas. This is also an attempt to discover new drugs and formulations with a similar thinking. The
paper can be stepping stone in terms of delivering the Ayurvedic society with an insight to new drug
development.
With various diagnostic tools, which in the Ayurvedic system ofmedicine dopend a lot on thorough
history taking, the disease picture has first to be decided. Then follows a stream of questions which
help the physician to decide the line of treatment; like:
1. Deciding the exact place of Samprapti (pathogenesis):
2. Deciding the drug / the formulation to revert the pathology:
3. Designing a formulation: A+B+C: END PRODUCT
A : - a drug who has a site specific action or can be said "vehicle"
B' - group of drugs directly reverting the pathology"
C: - catalyze the overall activity of the formulation.
4. Numerology (Avyakta Sankalpana) (The theory of the abstract) 'Atharvaveda'describes
some
numericals to be blessed with the upshot of creation
Conclusion: A combination of drug who has a site specific action (A) and group of drugs having
ability to reverting the pathology (B) with the help of catalyst (C) helps cure disease very fast

Introducfion: Vanga (Tin; Sn) is a well known Dhatu for its therapeutic uses, since the ancient
period. In various Rasa texts, number of drugs is mentioned for Vanga Jarana Sanskara (The solid
metal is liquefied and then transfonned into powder form in order to be useful for the process of
Marana). This paper highlights method of preparation, physico-chemical changes in Vanga Jarana
where in different Jarana drugs are used.
Aims and Objectives: Comparative Physico-Chemical analysis of all the samples of Jarita Vanga.
Materials and Methods: Raw material were collected from the market by keeping in mind Grahya
Lakshana and authenticated for use. After Samanya and Vishesha Shodhana of Vanga is subjected
for Jarana with three different kinds of larana drugs i.e. (a) Apamarga Kshara Churna, (b) Vata-
twak-chuma, and(c) Kukkutanda-twak-churna separately. At the end of each step necessary
physico-
Chemical analysis were carried out by both classical and modern techniques. The values of Loss on
drying, Total ash, Acid insoluble ash, pII, Tin percentage etc. are carried out.
Results:
1) Ashuddha vanga- Sn- 99.5o/owlw
2) After Sarnanya Shodhana -
Sn 99.3% w/w.
3) After Veshesha Shodhana -

Conclusion: Except the change in the colour, pH value and Sn
o/o
the Physico-Chemical analysis
does not show any significant difference in all the samples of Jaritavanga.Kukkutanda- twak -
churna requires less time and less quantity in Vanga Jaranathan other two Jarana drugs. The
quantitative estimation shows Tin 89.5% in sample C as after Jarana. This 08 to lTyo of loss of
Tin is might be because of consumption of Tin due to oxidation reaction with Kukkutanda- twak-
churna in Jarana.

Keywords : Kanjika, Shodhan, intennsdiate testing, microbioiogical assay
Introduction; Kanjika is an acidic fermented drug, which is mainly used in Shodhan and for the
ocal application in the treatment of Daha. To formulate Kanjika different formulae are seeri in
Ayurvedic texts. In our repeated experiments by conducting different preparation methods and product
testing during intermediate period reveaied contamination with fungi or microbes. Such contamination
is never expected as it may change the quality of end product. Hence it is essential to manufacture
quality based fermented product Kanjika and reduce the batch variability of the product. Thus process
standardization of Kanjika has been taken up. In the present study a slight modification in the
elassical method ofpreparation of Kanjika has been done, to avoid the microbial or fungal growth in
the finished product. Three samples of Kanjika prepared from different methods were tested and
compared.

Tikia of Black Gram.
Method: Three samples of Kanjika were prepared. Kanjika [A] and Kanjika [B]
samples were
prepared'by textual method, Kanjika [C] was with modified method. All three samples were put for
the fermentation in a fumigated container for seven day.
Observations: Observations are recorded during the process. Intermediate testing and end product
testing was done with Physical Tests and Physiochemical Tests. Microbiological assay was carried
out to identiff fungus or microbes in the finished drug.
Results: The results obtained are compared and analyzedto evaluate standard method ofpreparation
of Karryika.
Conclusion: Obtained results assist to establish a new method of preparation of Kanjika, is more
applicable and cost effective than other two methods.

Keywords: Septicemia, Shoek, MDA, Antioxidants Vitarain E and Vitamin C, Lipid peroxidation.
Introduction: Septicemia is a serious, rapidly progressive life threatening infection which may lead
to increased ftee radical formation and hence lipid peroxidation which reduces antioxidant status of
patients leading to oxidative stress. This study involves 30 voluntary controls, 30 patients of septicemia
and 30 patients of septicemia with shock of age group 15-75 years. A11 three $oups underwent
investigative measurerlent of serum vitamin E and Vitamin c. Lipid peroxidation formation measured
by MDA & antioxidant status was measured by estimating serum Vitamin E and Vitamin C. Results
reveal significant rise in MDA levels in Septicemia (p . 0.001) and Septicemia with Shock (p <
0.001) as compared to control serum vitamin E and Vitamin C levels in both the groups are
significantly decreased (p < 0.001) as compared to Control. Since Vitamin E and Vitamin C have

is defined as the presence of bacteria in blood and is often associated with severe diseases,
accompanied by systemic effects like toxemia, multiple small hemorrhage, heterophilic leucocytosis,
and DIC. (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulopathy (1).
Septicemia is a serious, rapidly progressive, life-threatening infection that can arise from
infections throughout the body including infections in the lungs, abdomen, and urinary tract. It may
precede or coincide with infections ofthebone (Osteomyelitis), central nervous system (Meningitis),
or other tissues. Septicemia can rapidly lead to septic shock and death. Septicemia associated with
some organisms such as meningococci can lead to shock, adrenal collapse and DIC, a condition
called Waterhous e-Friderichsen syndrom e. (2).
MDA is used as an index of lipid peroxidation. ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) generation
causes peroxidation of PUFA (Poliy Unsaturated Fatty Acids) of the membrane. This hampers the
membrane integrity, which could be one of the possible reasons of Septicemia and septicemia with
shock. Vitamin E other antioxidant nutrients including selenium, vitamin C and b-carotene to quench
free radicals, peroxides and other potentially harmful substances. Vitamin E is fat-soluble and is
fbund mainly in the cell membranes and fatty structures ofmost cells. Vitamin E detoxifies peroxides
thus preventing generation of even more toxic hydroxyl and superoxide radicals and singlet. Vitamin
E appears to be the first line.

Dept. of Rasa Shastra & Bhaisjya Kalpna, NIA, JAIPLT.
' Medicinal use ofplants is as old as human civilization itself. The earliest record of prevention
and cure of the ailments by Medicinal plants can be traced back to Rigveda, perhaps the oldest
repository of human knowledge having been written 5000-2000 B.C. In Indian system of medicine
it is been estimated that about 1500 Vegetable drugs have been used in curing human ailments.
India is a country with various tropical zones and large bio-diversity. In the market, we don't get
genuine or standard crude drug due to one or the other reason. In large number of cases, botanically
different plants are being sold and used for the same as Ayurvedic drug in different places. Some
times different species of the same genus that are more easily and cheaply are used in plaee of one
that has been prescribed in the literature.
In recent years the world is turning towards natural products and Herbal medicine. Therefore
the standardization that can satisfy both Ayurvedic as well as modern parameters is essential in the
present scenario for entering in to the global market.
The present paper will be discussed on these aspects and the details on the standardization
aspect will present during seminar.

urbanization people are people are forgetting sirnpie principles of life giving rise to many health
problans. One such health problem is obesity. It is a most burning problem now-a-days as it is
reckoned as a rnost important factor in the induction of tnany life threatening diseases. All developing
and developed countries are under the complete dominance of it. Our Ayurvedic texts have also
Cescribed Atisthauiya (Obese people) as one of the Ashtanindita Purushas (despicable persons).
Though the diet therapy is one of the important ways ofmanagement of obesity but with the
diet therapy alone the trgatrnent of obesity is incomplete as diet can avoid fuither possibilities of
obesity, but the fact has.to be treated and defective rnetabolism must be corrected which is done by
herbal medicines. When such herbal drug is Guduchi, whose effectiveness as Medohara is mentioned
in Dhanwantari \ighantu.
Regarding this, a ciinical study is conducted to show the Medohara effect of Guduehi. The
subjective parameters as described in the classics and objective parameters such as B.M.I., lipid

the formation of plaques, a major cause of atherosclerosis. As prevention is better than cure, even
modern medicines used Aspirin to prevent formation of plaques. n'spirin does not completely prevent
formation of plaques and also is associatedwith the side effects. Kshars are known to have magicai
effects in preventing formation of plaques, it even prevent the relapse without any side effects.
Ksharkalpana has evolved gradually by some aiterations in steps in the basic process of dosage

Abdul NasirAnsari: Lecturer' Dept. of Moalejat(Medicine), National Institute of Unani Medicine, Bangalore.
Keywords: Garlic, anticancer, allicin . Garlic (Atlium Sativum)has been universally touted for the
thousands of years as a medicinal herb. Anumber of studies have demonstrated the chemo preventive
activity of garlic and number of organo sulphur compounds derived frorn garlic. Hippocrate, the
famous unani physician, prescribed eating garlic as treatment for cancer. uJnaa used garlic in the
treatment of cervical cancers. The major chemicals found in garlic which prevents cancer areAllicin
(diallyl disulphide oxide), S-allyl cysteine (SAC), S-allyl mercapto cysteine (SAMC) *a ..t.rri*.
Allyl sulfides aan influence a number of molecular events involved with cancer. These include
inhibiting mutagenesis, blocking carcinogen DNA adduct formation, scavenging free radicals,
suppression of tumor cell growth through stimulation of imunoresponder cells. tn 1990 the U.S
National cancer Institute initiated the designer food program for cancer and concluded that garlic
may be the most potent food having cancer preventive properties, Preclinical studies have shown
the allicin a major component of garlic, may affect cyochrome P4503A4 (c\/p 3A4) activity. This
review discusses cancer chemo preventive effect of garlic and its products.

The Aromatherapy has its roots in Unani system of medicine; and it has a long fascinating
history. The Greek scholar Herodotus had first distilled the essential oil of turpentine in about 25
B'C. Arab scholars adopted the art of distillation from Greeks and made it more uduun".d ard
systematic to utilize aromatic drugs into their routine practice. The Unani scholars were well
acquainted with the physical and psychological properties of the flowers, fragrant hsrbs and their
essential oils. The Roman physician Galen, the founder of Galenic Pharmacy ur-"d u.o-utic drugs in
his preparations; and famous scholar Ibn-e-Sina invented improved procedures of distillation.
There are different methods of Unani aromatherapy, e.g. Lakhtakha (aroma inhalation),
istinshaque (insufflation), tadhkeen (fumigati an), tabkheer (evaporation), dalak-e-mo'attar (aromatic
massage), inkebab (vaponzation), hammam (bath) etc. Many scientists studied pharmacological
properties of aromatic drugs and their essential oils with interesting results, particuiarly their efects
on the neurotransmitters; e.g. the rose oil has shown significant reduction of serum adrenaline after
seven minute inhalation in human individuals, and the pepper oil increased adrenaline levels. In a
receit study, the rose oil has shown significant anxiolytic and antidepressant properties. There are
many other scientifie evidenqes those shall be highlighted in the presentation.'

PAPERS OF SPEAKERS IN PLENARY SESSIOI{
STRENGTHENING SELF.RELIANCE OF RURAL COMMUNITIES IN PRIMARY
TIEALTHCARE
Darshan Shankar, Advisor, FRLHT, Bangalore *

1. Socw CoNrBxr: Given the alarming morbidity and mortality scenario in rural India and the fact
brought out in National Sample Survey (NSS) reports that the second highest cause of indebtedness
of rural households is on account of 'health expenditure', it is evident that an agenda like
"skengthening self-reliance of rural households in primary healthcare" deseryes a very high national
priority.
The moot question is can the traditional Indian systems of medicine like Ayurveda really
contribute to enhancing the health security of our rural communities. To anyone who knows the
social nature of India's medical heritage, the answer must be an affirmative yes.
2. Pnorn r oF rHE INonN Mrntcar Hnnrracn: The Indian Medical Heritage is very precious. It is
"seen" in hundreds of thousands of households in the form of health traditions. These traditions
pertain to diets, customs, rituals and home remedies. It is also seen in the profound scholarship of
Vaidys, Siddhas, Hakims and monks. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan the former Fresident of India once
remarked "It takes centuries of living to make a little history and centuries of history to make a
tradition".
2.1 The two streams: The Indian Medical Heritage flows in two streams, an
,oral
folk stream'and
a 'codified classical stream'. Both these streams are seen in all parts of the country and they together
constitute the "Indian health traditions".
There are two key Sanskrit words that describe the nature of the India's medical heritage.
These are Prakrit & Sams-krit. The word Prakrit refers to ecosystem & ethnic community ,p".ifi,
knowledge traditions. It is derived from the term Prakrti or nature, which means that dynamic
phenomenon (I{riti) that has always existed (Pra). The Prakrit knowledge therefore refers to such
emperical traditions of knowledge that are directly derived from nature they include prakrit
language,
arts, music, weaving, agriculture, architecture, and of course healthcare. The word Sams-krit refers
to such dynamic phenomenon (Krit) that has been refined or modified (Samskar
- from the prakrit
state). This word thus refers in Indian tradition to the various Shastras or sciences like linguistics
and grammar (Vyakaran), the fine and performing arts (Shilpa, Sangeet, Nritya etc.,), agriculture
(Krishishastra), architecture (Vastushastra) and healthcare (Ayurveda). In Indiansociety the Samskrit
traciilions have always enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with the Prakrit because Samskriti (culture:
in the bi oad sense of theterm including all arts and sciences) is derived from prakriti
(nature). Thus
Aydrveda and folk healthcare (Lok-swasthya -Parampara) are related and one should not visualize
the future ofAyurevda, without envisaging the future of its Prakrit counterpart which lives amongst
common folk in the society in both rural and urban areas.
2.2 Prqfile of community-based health knowledge :
The folk health traditions or Lok-swasthya-paramparas are ernbedded in the lifestyle, diet and health
practices of thousands of local communities all over India. There are estimated to be around a

million folk healers in the eountry. The break up of these healers is shown in the chart below:
Caruiers of village-based health traditions
F i gures bas ed on extrapo lations .from
mi cro's tudies.
Apart from the distinct class of folk healers, there are also several millions of mostly rural
(and to a much lesser extent urban) knowledgeable households who are also carricrs of the cornmunity
based oral health traditions of India. The households have knowledge of home remedies about local
food and their nutritional value. The health traditions of households are based on the local eco-
system resources.
2.2.1 The fascinating nature of oral health traditions:
What is most fascinating about local health traditions is their self-sustaining nature. They
sustain in millions of homes and thousands of villages, towns and cities without the aid of any
institution, to propel them and without any external source of funding. They evolve, adapt_and
modifu with time. They embody knowledge of the human physiology and anatomy and of the
mind, of food and nutrition, of pharmacological properlies of plants, animals, metals and minerais.
ene significant sociological feature of the carriers of the folk traditions, is that the healers do not
undertake medical service as a full-time vocation. It is very important to note that local healers are
not
,livelihood'dependent
on theirhealth serwices. The typical healermaybe a farmer, or a labourer,
a barber, or a shop-keeper, a blacksrnith, or a shepherd or even a wandering monk.
'fhe

service they undertake although not free of charge is performed in an ethical and non-commercial
spirit, and ihe healer does not depend on this service for a living. The community (patient) pays the

healer for hislher services as per the locai cultural nonns, but the income eamed by the heaier is
incidental and suppiementary. This low sustenance cost is the reason why the tradition is so iarge,
widespread and decentralized and has over a miilion cariers. If the folk traditions were livelihood.
dependent on their services, their size would have much smallerbecause no village couid sustain 2-
3 full time heaiers per village. The household traditions are thus purely of a self-help nature.
:
3. Exal.rpr-Bs or Local IIsil-rH'l'n.qnrrrons, '
3.I Use of local ptants: There are outstanding instances of the purely 'oral'traditions. They are
seen both at the household and community level. Millions of homes have'knowledge' of region
specific home rernedies and of 'health'diets, by way of tradition. To give a common example, in
south India every household knows and had known for more than a century the use of the plant
Phyllanthus amarus for keatment of Hepatitis (Kamala). People are now beginning to revalue this
tradition because a few years ago an Amprican Nobei Prize winner sought and obtained a patent on
the application of this plant for treatment of viral hepatitis B & C. There are an estirnated 6200 such
species ofplants that are traditionally used by the 4600 odd ethnic cornmunities of India, in the form
of around 40,000 herbal fonnulations, across different eco-systems.
3.2 l,ocal diets as health foods:
'Io
cite an example of a health diet tradition of northern india: There is a traditionally consumed
dish which constitutes potatoes (Flindi name: Aloo) and Methi (Botanical nalne: Trigonellafoenum-
graecum). This dish traditionally prepared by thousands of households is referred to as Methi Aloo
and not as Aloo Methi, to stress that there should be a higher proportion of Methi in the Aloo. fhe
logic of this proportion is that Methi by its hot nature balances the wind producing effects of the
potatoes. ll'his example incidentally also points out to the dynarnic and adapting nature of LI{Ts.
Potato as is known is exotic to India and was introduced into the country by the Portuguese only
around the sixteenth century. The material was studied and assessed by Ayurvedic physicians and
found to be 'wind' producing, therefore it was advised to be eaten in combination with balancing
materials like Methi, Ieera (Cuminum cyminum) and,hing (Serula asafoetida) etc. Let's look at
another example of a health food tradition viz the preparation of the well known and highly nutritious
south Indian dish called 'Idli'. This is a steamed cake of rice and lentils. The lentil used in Idli is
Masah (Vigna mungo). This material though very rich in protein (Mams-vardhak) is also hot and
acidic (Ushna and Pittakarak). In north India, it is only eaten in winter because if it were eaten
regularly in summer, it would cause side effects of hyperacidity and flatulence. The south Indians
however have overcome this problem of Masah by a brilliant combination of Masah and rice in a
certain proportion (1:3) and the dish is prepared as a steamed cake from fermented dough. In this
form it eliminatss the side efFects of Masah and can be eaten throughout the year. It has a healthy
balance ofprotein, carbohydrates and vitamins. Idli is easy to digest and can be eaten by old, young
and even infants. This is an ideal health food. The preparation of this health food is part of health
tradition known and practiced by rnillions. There is a tremendous lange of such regional diets and
also knowledge of eco-system specific food resources that are used by various ethnic communities
in LHTs. These diets and food resources are far more in nunber than what is documented in any
Indian university text book of food and nutrition or home science.

3.3Traditional Birth Attendants :
Apart from these oral traditions at the househoid level, there are "widespread" health traditions
on a community scale. Every village in India for instance has a few traditional birth attendants
(TBAs). These TBAcan handle breach deliveries, lateral position of faetus, umbilical chord around
the neck and can even deliver a stili-born child. India has around 600,000 birth attendants. These
TBAs get created in the village from generation to generation.
3.4 Barefoot bonesetters :
Amaztngly Indiahas abare-foot orthopaedic tradition. Every ciuster of 20-25 villages has a
bonesetter. These bonesetters treat sprains and simple fractures and in some parts of the country
they also manage compound fractures with open wounds. No one has done a systematic study but it
is a guess estimate that at least 50% of broken bones in rural India are managed by traditional
bonesetters. The straightening of a paediatric club-foot has been pioneered by folk bonesetters in
Tamilnadu state. They are also experts in sophisticated flexible bandaging techniques.
3.5 The Visha Healers :
There are community traditions related to emergencies. There are estimated to be around 60,000
healers who treat life threatening poisonous snakebites. The traditional Visha (poison) healers can
distinguish a poisonous snakebite from a non-poisonous one and further between the bite of a krait,
pit-scaled viper, russels viper or a cobra and they have treatment for the same. In some regions they
also treat the bite of mad dogs to prevent rabies. in the written tradition, there is a very elaborate
description of symptoms for diagnosing the extent of penetration of th"O poison into body tissues.
3.6 Herbat Healing for Primary Healthcare :
There are also around 100,000 herbal healers who treat arange of common ailments and
also chronic conditions and even specialized conditions related to the eyes or the ears or the skin and
related to muscular and nervous disorders.
All these are "health traditions" because they have swvived, evolved and adapted for centuries
to this day. There is no single medical school or any agency, which is responsible for the transmission
of this knowledge, either at the househoid level or at the level of the specialized folk healers.
4. Tnn SrrurrCy To
pROMOTE sELF-RELIANcE OF RURAL COMMUNITInS n PIIC:
4.1Need to respect autonomY :
In the past there have not been any schools, colleges or organizations that were engaged in
teaching or disseminating oral health knowledge, that is embodied in the community-based traditions.
The knowledge has spread through a "people to people" process.
A very significant feature of these traditions is their autonomous nature and the fact that they are not
liveiihood dependent and their community support system. The 600,000 TBAs of India, for example,
are not supported by Central or State Governments or NGOs. They are 100% supported by viilage
communities.
Today for mostly cultural reasons, there has been a massive erosion in many segments of the
community-based health tradition. It is necessary to think of an operational strategy to revitalize
..........,o 124 a...........

151. Globul Ayurved Conference & I{ealth Expo 2009 Mass-Health & Addiction
this informal and people to people educational process and community supported systeur that has
upheid the traditions for centuries. It is very irnportant to understand that any intervention which
intends to strengthen community health tradition must not undermine their autonomy and self-
reliance, else it will be unsustainable. It is only local communities of India that can support their
own health traditions and its local carriers. Govemments and NGOs can provide local communities
support to revive their informal educational processes, but they should take care to do so without
' crippling' the tradition.
Autonomy and community support are therefore central issues to be addressed in any strategy
for the revitalization of the community-based oral health traditions of India.
4.2 Support for a rapid Assessment Strategy:
The 'content' of India's oral our oral health traditions are very vast. It covers thousands of
natural resources, plants, animals, minerals, wild vegetables and fruits, etc. It encompasses several
preventive, promotive and curative health conditions mostly related to primary health care. It will
easily take more than a centaury to fully docurnent and assess the numerous and diverse health
practices in every nook and corner of the country. It essential to design a sensitive assessment
methodology that gives sufficient weightage to the epistemology of local knowledge systems and
does not 'impose' evaluation schemes based on paradigms that are not compatible with local
epistemologies. Yet it is important for the revitalization of these traditions to initiate rapid assessment
schemes for priotitised health practices in order to generate confidence in the community about the
potential value of their own health traditions. Different approaches may be needed for traditions
related to: (a) food and nutrition, (b) traditions in the form of health customs, (c) preventive and
promotive ptactices, and (d) curative health practices. Support from the codified indigenous systems,
from bio-statisticians, pharmacologists engaged in systems biology and community health
organizations will be needed for developing a viable assessment strategy.
4.3 Relationship with formal medical systems:
As mentioned at the outset of this article historically and culturally the oral folk traditions
have had a symbiotic relationship with codified Indian Medical Systems like Ayurveda, Siddha,
Unani and Swa-Rigpa. It may be useful to restore and promote functional relationships with ISM
for the revitalisation of these traditions and a strategy for this needs to be worked out. On the one
hand, it would be disastrous to suffocate the oral traditions with the theoretical burden of formal
medical systems, but on the other hand, Indian medical systems as well as modern medical science
could if creatively applied contribute to the revitalization of the oral traditions. For example it
would very valuable ifthe formal sysfems can help to standardi zereglonal,plant-based pharmacopeias
for primary healthcare that could be used by rural communities. The future ofAyurveda which is the
Samskrit (scientific) dimension of India's medical heritage must be envisioned without neglecting
its Prakrit (folk) roots.
4.4 Recognition to innovations:
In countries outside India, most of the problems related to traditional ktowledge and bio-
piracy pertain to oral health traditions. Oral health traditions do contain valuable experiences that
t
...........a 125 a..........

152. Global Ayurved Conference & I{ealth Expo 2009 Mass-Health & Addiction
could be exploited by medical research and commerce.
'fhere
is a need to spread an awareness
about the rights of the traditional custodians of health knowledge.
'fhis,
however, needs to be done
in abalanced way without creating aparanoia. Model Materiai liansferAgreement and Intonaation
Transfer Agreement need to be evolved for protecting the IPR of commuuity knowledge. More
irnportantly an environment needs to be created which promotes iocai innovations based on the
local plant resources.
5. Suvvrtxc Up :
.r . ! 1 1.
There are evidently rich and diverse local knowledge traditions in rural India that can form
the solid foundations of a creative program for strengthening the self-reliance of rural communities
in primary health care.
'fhe
challenge is for policy makers, academics, scientists and NGOs to join
hands to design effective and urgent measures to act.

Role of Ayurvcd in WI.IO's Adaptation-Strategies to Overcome Effects of Climatic-Changcs
Dr. Sachin S. Kulkarnj, M.D.. Lecrurer. Dept of Basic Principles, BVUCOA, Punc-43 :
Keywords: 1 . Ritusandhikala 2. Adaptation-Strategies
According to W.l{.O.; several developed and developing countries have undertaken national
assessments of the potentiai health impacts of climate-change. Ayurveda calculates Kala (time-
factor): as Root-cause of cliinatic-changcs.
Season (Ritu) is measurement for Kaia. Climatic-changes are responsible for development
of various signs & symptotns. Mostly these are likely to occur during the joining period of two
consecutive Ritus ( Ritusandhi)
W.H.O. recommends adaptation- skategies to complement mitigation-policies. Ef{icient
impiernentation of adaptation-strategies can significantly reduce adverse heaith irnpacts of climate-
change. Same concept is discussed in Ayurved aiong with effrcient irnplementation of adaptation-
strategies under Ritucharya (seasonal-regimen)
Ayurveda prcscribes seasonal-r'egimen (Ritucarya) to avoid such seasonal-ilhtess & rnaintain
health throughout the year. If one disobeys these rules; he mostly suffers from Asatrnyaja Roga in
Ritusandhi i. c. potentiai-adverse-irnpact of cnvironmcntal change on health.
Survcy study of i00 individuals having symptoms duc to season changc was carried in 3
particular Ritusandhi. Findings are discussed in paper. Ayurvedic recommendations with prornotion
by WIIO will be beneficial for mankind at Global level.

Introduction:" Prevention is better than cure." Acccrding to WI{O Health is defined as a state of
complete physical, mental and social well being and not mereiy an absence of disease or infinnity.
According to Ayurveda it is defined as "Sama Dosln Santa Agnischa Sama Dathu Malakriyaah,

and national programs.
In today's era where the qaze for Ayurveda is increasing it will be the best to do mass
publicity in order to create more awareness.
TeachingAyurvedic way of life and principles like Dinacharya from school level in order to
bring out a healthy nation is one of the best ways. Educating and adopting small villages and towns
by doing frequent health camps so that they come to know the Ayurvedic principles and start following
them thus leading to a disease free life.
We can also approach multinational companies mainly pertaining to IT and BPO sector and
educate them a proper mode of life and also ways to minimize many problems. We should also
concentrate on occupational disorders and educate to minimize the sufferings.
As a Nation wide program simple techniques like Dhupanam with Guggulu, Nimbha, Haridra
etc. which can eradicate infectious gerrns can be impiemented.
Conclusion : A healthy mind leads to a healthy body which in turn leads to a healthy Nation.
Ayurvedic Principles stand flrst in creating a healthy mind, body and National which should now be
implemented by educating and creating awareness in the public.

As Ay'urveda is a science of life and life begins from the period of corrceptiofl, Ayurveda can
contribute much more information which will be helpful in this millennium to reduce percefltage of
rntertrlrty.
The subject of PCOD is not directly mentioned inAyurveda. But, considering modem science
and Ayurveda together, I tried my best efforts in explaining the conceptual and therapeutic part of
PCOD in Ayurvedic aspeets which have strong basis of statistical clinical data. This paper includes
30 cases of PCOD having Ayurvedic protocol of treatment.
Disorder of ovulation may account for more than 25Yo of all infertility problems. Successful
treatment depends upon on the correct identification of the root, causing an owlation. In modern

Postmenopausal Osteoporosis an Ayurvedic Approach

Post menopausal osteoporosis is grouped under primar'y Osteoporosis. Wotnen experience
an accelerated bone loss of | .5o/o per year for first 5-7 years after menopause.
Acharya Sushruta states that a woman menstruatcs bctween 12 to 50 years, beyond which
she seizes to menstruate as the Dhatus are deprived of nourishment and the body becomes weak.
Medas is one of the Moola for Asthivaha Srotas. Leptin is arr enzyme produced by Adipocytes.
Evidence show that Leptin reduees osteoclastic activities and inueases osteoblastic activities. The
hyperactivity of the Asthidhatvagni leads to Asthikshaya. This can be compaled to osteoclastic
activity and PTH has a major role in this mechanism.
, Dalhana states that the word Ar-tava refers to Shukra and not Raj as. Artava can be compared
to Oestrogen and Androgen, deficiency of which results in Shukrakshaya which ieads to Vatavriddhi.
This results in Asthikshaya.
In this way Postmenopausal Osteoporosis can be studied under Asthikshaya. Saghrita-kshesra
Ilasti and Matrabasti with Tikta Ghritas is the choice of treatment in Asthipradoshaja Vikaras.

Ayurveda is a comprehensive natural health care system that originated in India more than
5000 years ago. It is still used in India as a system of health care, and interest is growing worldwide
as well. Government of India recently launched a National campaign on geriatric health. In a pilot
study of Parkinsonism &Alzheirrer's disease withAyurvedic rnedicarnents has shown a ray of hope
to elderly people suffering with these diseases. Significant symptornatic improvement has been
noted irt Parkinson's disease with Mucuna Pruriens in terms of impaired memory gait disorders,
depression, pill rolling etc. Similarly symptomatic improvement has been observed in Demeltia by
apolyhedral Medhya Rasayana formulation on memory impairment, anxiety, and depression abstract

Introduction: Dysrnenorrhoea is painful menstruation of sufficient magnitude. So as to anticipate
the day-to-day activities i.e. intercept the patient's educational life probably 5 to l0o/o girls in their
late teens and women in early 20's suffer from dysmenorrhoea. After administration of modern like
analgesics, antispasmodics, contraceptives, morphine and pethidine etc. reocculrence and untoward
effects are the demerit. Traditional parishioners till today use a Mashi of Latakarania (caesalpinia
bonducella) in dysmenorrhoea considered to be safe. So an attempt was made to assess the
antispasmodic effect and clinical eflicacy in comparison with standard antispasmodic drug to provide
safe and economic medicine.
$ Method: 45 patients of dysmenorrhoea, Latakaranja Mashi, rice washed water; colinol formed
the material. Test drug 15 mg with rice washed water was administered 3 times in a day for 3 days
before 3 days of menstrual cycle in group I, only rice washed water to 15 patients in group II and
colinol tablet 1 tds to 15 patients in group III. Visual analogue scale was followed to assess of relief
of symptoms and recorded before an after 1st, 2nd and 3rd month of the treatment. Patients were
advised to report once in every cycle.
$ Resutt: Syrnptoms like lower abdominal pain, backache, nausea and vomiting, anxiety headache,
temperature, fainting, radiating pain were relieved after 3 days in a month for 3 month of treatment
in group ii and group III, Significant relief was noted in group I.
$ Conclusion: Test drug Latak aranja Mashi + rice washed water has shown significant
antispasmodic property without any side effect. Patient with primary infertility due to dysmenorrhoea
were conceived after treatment. Study with larger patient popuiation and longer follow up is indicated
to know the longer term benefits of this medicine.

Ayurvedic herbs like Curcuma longa and. Tinospora cordifoliahave shown hepatoprotective and
immunostimulatory properlies in rodent rnodel ofATT induced hepatotoxicity, so a piospective two
armed RCT was carried out to evaluate their potential in humans.
Methods: Patients with active tuberculosis diagnosis were randomized to a drug control goup
(n:192) and a trial group (n=316) on drugs plus an herbal formulation. Isonizid, rifampicin,
Pyrazinamide and Ethambutol for first two months followed by continuation phase therapy excluding
Pytazinffinide for 4 months comprised the anti-tuberculous treatment. Curcumin enrished (25%) Cl
and a hydro-ethanolic extract enriched (50%) TC I g each divided in two doses comprised the
herbal adjuvant Hemogram, biiirubin and liver enzymes were tested initially and monthly till the
end of study to evaluate the result. the result was analyzed by Chi square test g f 0.05).
Results: Incidence and severity of hepatotoxicity was significantly lower in trial group (incidence:
27lI92vs2/316, P < 0.0001). MeanAspartate kansminase (AST) (195.93 +

indicated by nil drop-out in trial vs r0l,l92 in control group (p f 0.0001)
Conclusion: The adjuvant herbs showed strong hepatoprotective activity. Improved outcome with
higher and quicker sputum negativity may be due to improved patient to*plirn"e in addition to
immunostimulatory action. The result carries ahnost significance for mal-nourirh"d, alcoholic and

in the context of Sharir-Sthana, Charakacharya has mentioned the causes of 'Garbha-Vikruti'. These

In this modern era, couples plan their pregnancies as per their busy schedule and also seek advice
under the terms 'preconceptionai counseling'. This study of 700 patients conceived in one year June
2007 to May 2008 was carried out to assess and prove the effect of period of conception on pregnancy
outcome.
All the body Dhatus and environtnent are under influence of specific Kala-Shishiradi Rutu.
Environment can cause or aggravate physical and rnental ill health, illness begets anxiety and this in
turn begets illness.
Environment in Visarga Kala is very pleasant and pregnancy outcome was seen weli in those conceived
in this Kala.
Results: As sample size is very small, it is difficult to predict the final results of study. If more
patients'record is studied, conclusion may vary. Here I am giving results based on
Observations:
1) Maximum number of conceptions were in l{emant Rutu.
2) Maximum number of average sized and healthy babies were seen in patients conceived
in i{emant Rutu.
3) Overall conceptions in Hemant Rutu have good pregnancy outcorne.
4) Maximurn number of LBW babies were in Varsha Rutu.
5) Maximum number of early pregnancy losses were seen in patients conceived in
Grishma Rutu.
6) Overall conceptions in Vasant and Grishma Rutu have poor pregnancy outcome.
Conclusion: From above results, it can be concluded and advised to couples to plan their
conceptions in Hemant Rutu for good pregnancy outcome i.e. average *
sized and healthy babies.
They must avoid conception in Vasant and Grishma rutu because of poor preglancy outsorne
like early pregnancy losses, intra-uterine deaths, congenital anomalies and preterm labours.

A Cause-Specific Approach to thc Treatment of Infertility :
Dr. Alina. A. Gomes, M.D. (Ayu) Sch., Kayachikitsa, K.G. M. P. Ayu. College, Charni Road, Mumbai
Keywords : - Infertility, Praj asthap ana, Cause- specifi c
In today's competitive world, a number of factors like stress and the steadily rising age for
marriage have conkibuted to a perilously growing incidence of infertility. Infertility, unlike other
physical aihnents causes immense rnental and emotional agony along with social stigma it brings.
However the causes of infertility vary widely ftom Erectile Dysfurrction to Sperm count abnormalities
in males and from tubal blocks to PCOD's in females. While Ayurveda mentions a host of
Prajasthapana dravyas it becornes imperative to reassess these with a view to cause*specific treatment
of infertility. My primary airn thereby is to review Ayurvedic and Modern literature along with
results of various hitherto condueted clinical trials on infertility and establish the role of Ayurvedic
herbal and mineral drugs in the treatment of cause-specific male and fernale infertility. The major
Vanaspatic and Rasa Dravyas and their various Kalpas and their effects on Ayurved.ic and Modern
clinieal and pathological pararneters shall be discussed for e.g. Gokshura shows remarkable
improvement in LH and testosterone levels. Swarnabhasma significantly improves spenn mortality
and viability and Vasanta Kusumakar particulady helps E.D. Details will be discussed in full paper.

Rajonivnrtti is cessation ofmenses at late 4Os-early 50s of female reproductive life. It is a physiological
inevitable condition of women's life. Jaraavastha artd Rajonivrutti are naturally occurring conditions
due to Kala, Svabhava, Dhatukshaya and Vatika dominancy. When this phenofitenon causes
discomfort to the body and mind it attains the Vyadhisvarupa.
Menopause is the stage of hormonal irnbalance in the body which causes various physical,
physiological and psychological manifestations. Menopausal Syndrome is causcd by disturbance in
multi-system of body specially vasomotor and neuroendocrine.
Physical problerns of Rajonivritti are very well tackled by Ayurved and Modem modalities. For the
Psychological problerrrs there is a great need to find the best treatment for it. For this airn orrly.

Dept.of Dravyaguna A.l.N. Rao Memorial Ayurvedic ^Vedical College. Koppa
Keywords : Infertility, PCOD, ir agakeshara, Phytoestrogen.
Changed lifestyles, increased Stress, strain and environmental pollution are identified factors
contributing to the rising rate of infertility. The incidence of primary infertility is about 60% in
females and28o/q in males,
In Patriarchal society, the fernale partner is generally blarred and socially looked down, for
herbareness; this in tum leads to unhappiness, psychosomatic ill health and sometimes-even suicide.
The greater incidence in female infertility due to nukitional deficiencies, honnonal imbalance and
development anornalies of reproductive organs, due to an ovulation in this PCOD may take major
role.
The diagnostic and therapeutic procedures followed in the mqdern system of medicine are
time consuming and costlier tool. fhe success rate is also found to be quite low. Ayurveda of'fers
greater scope for evolving the better medicine for reducing infertility besides being cost effective
and maintenance of health harmony.
An experirnental sfudy has been conducted to know the "Phytoestrogenic effect of plant
Nagakeshara flower buds and its efficacy in Vandhyatwa (PCOD) on albino rats". After the above
work the NIN Hyderabad has carried out the work on Lakshamana and its source plants.

Various Presentafions of Carcinoma
Dr. Umesh Vaidya, HOD Dept. of Shalyatantra. BVUCOA, Pune
Introduction: All these years, we have been trained in the ciassical schqol of thoughts about the
presentations of Cancer. After having cornplcted our schooling days and turning professionals,
observatiols seemed not to match all the thoughts of yestcr years. It was thcn that we started
understanding the imporlance of the pluase "You Keep Learning For Lifetime" because ail that we
saw taught mirch rnoie than books. Now we feel it is time we shars all that with the generations of
yesterdaly, today and tomorrow more so because it is these that need to start not from where we
starled but frorn where we may end...
Aims and Objectives : Remember this includes a number of cases that have been urissed by a
number of people or rather doctors and have been rnisdiagnosed as something else' Of course, the
intention behind offering my precious collection for may be a poster presentation is not to show
soule one dorvn but a more pious one. It is to'create a general awarengss that the condition one
treating could just be on of these types. l'he new or budding does could see them and may be learn
much more than the tpxts could offer.
The classical thought that canqer is a disease of the later part of life probably stood true for me till
we faced a case of a child of age 1r/2 years, operated for a mass on the cheek and hope reports
showed it to be a case of rhabdomyosarcoma of a dangerous variety.
The work of photograph collection should prove to be an enlightening gone for rnedicos of all
origins and lymen alike.
Materials and Methods : This is more of a collection of the cases of cancers of various types and
origins that have been handled and treated by various methods personally by me and my team in
Bharati Vidyapeeth Ljniversity College of Ayurved, Pune-43
:
Result :A lots of classical thoughts about the disease CANCER is expected to change after observing
the pictures we would want to project to one and all -
uredicos and laymen alike like ou{s has over
the years.
Conclusion : cancer hath no face ugly or beautiful. it does not shike and slay the old ones only. it
knows no lirnits of looking innocent or cruel'

Ayurvedic Contraceptives llseful In Birth Control
programme
Dr. Anita Sharma, Dr. Sushila Sharma, Dr. Vinod Kumar Goteeha, Depr.ofAgad Tantra, N.LA., Jaipur,
The wealth of nation lies in its healthy population and not in its prosperities. For survival of humanify;
population control is more essential. The population was not a problem in ancient ago. In Rigveda
in its beginning stages it is advocated 10 children (Dashashyam Futram Adehi) but i1 later period
they have advocated only one issue or one son (varmekoguni putratha).
According to Acharcya Charaka, Physiological conception is possible if Ritu-kala (period of
conception), Kshetra (uterus), Ambu (Ahararasa) and Beeja (spermatozoa and ova) are properly
aligned. If any one of these factors is disturbed then conception is not possible. This is the role
played by a contraceptive drug or method,
Ayurvedic doctrines postulate that if more population is allowed to continue then like big fish eating
a small fish (Matsya Nyaya) the individual also feels difficult to live. So, Ayurvedic scholar,s
advocated several methods to limit the family like as * Brahmacharya,Anritua kala, prolo'ging
marriage of couples, period of lactation, use of Mantras. In this paper we will discuss old text
formulations as well as the new researches done by the various research scholars on herbal medicines.

Dr.Baldev Kumar, Asst. Prof.,
Ayurvediya Acharyas had written, "Ritucharya Dincharya Sadvritta" regarding the prevention and
promotion of health after keen observation. ilut the man of 21't century is said to be advanced and
has forgotten the ethics of social and spiritual life.
" Tach c ha Nily a m P r ay unj i ta Sw a s thy ay en anuv ar t ate " (Ciraraksutra 5 ).
'fhis
verse represents general advice about the wholesorne diet. Only sucir food is to be regularly
used which is conducive to maintenance of good health and prevents attacks of diseases in future.
Good health can be rnaintained in 2 ways.
(1.) Bv relapsing the used up Dhatus of body by proper diet and regimen.
(2) By removing the obstacles in the path of good health.
The idea underlying the prevention of diseases is that one should take food and obserrye
regimen with due regard to their own Prakriti (Body Constitution) so that it can alleviate the Dosas
which are liable to be aggravated due to seasonal effects. It is not that all Rasas are intended to be
taken in equal quantity. No healthy person will relish as much of pungent food as of sweet food. It
will not be helpful for the rnaintenance of health in the healthy person. So the proportion of Rasas is
to be determined according to the individual taste and food value and,individual Prakriti. The full
paper will be presented at the platform of serninar.

Aachar Rasayan and Mental tleatth
Dr. Munmee Das, Guwahati.
No one is immune to the ill effects of stress. A surplus of unused adrenaline coursing through our
bodies can lead to a host of psychological and physical problems. In as little as onc week a person
getting 25% less sleep than normal may have increased blood sugar level at night and over a
period this hormonal chaos could lead to weight gain, heart disease, etc.
I'he Achar Rasayan as described in Ayurvedic text when included into a person's life can act as
primary preventive against such stress related problems. Achar Rasayan aims at prornoting and
improving the emotional, social and physical well being of an individuai.
The essence ofAachar Rasayan is right living which includes healthy diet, adequate sleepi proper
conduct like; truthfulness, observing non violence, controlling angle, compassion, praying, etc. which
would help one to fight stress and remain young and healthy.

Nutritional value.
Introduction-
o'In
our days we were more hale and hearly. Food we had then was pure, nutritious
and tastier too". llow often we have heard this l}om our grandparents. Fast forward to the present
forget about Stamina. Indiscrirninate use ofbanned pesticides and ferlilizers ensures that good health
stays miles away. This is quiet evident from various recent studies that these harmful synthetic
chemical fertilizers and pesticides used to yield economic benefits fi'om crops grown in conventional
methods may cause severe hazardous health problems. As per WHO, two million people are affected
by pesticides residues annually. The Organic food products can be an answer to these problems.
Now a day a great thrust has been on healthy ways of growing healthy food. Organic food technology
uses natural methods and processes right from sowing to harvesting and are completely free frorn
the above said hazards.
Aims and Objectivcs- The aims and objectives are as under-
-Introducing
organic food. -Harmful ef{€cts of conventional farming. -Health through organic
food. - Methods of obtaining organic food. - Merits and de-merits of organic food. -Organic food
versus conventional food *Ayurvedic approach
Materials and Methods- Recent advances in the field of organic food will be traced. All the available
literature and internet will be used to put the evidences. Recent studies and data will be given in the
full paper presentatiort.
Conclusion- The organic food can be of great use in combating the harmful effects of pesticides and
chemicals. It can also increase the nutritive value of tbod. But a lot more is to be done at policy level
and to make it economically suitable for all so that masses can be benefited.

Role of Achara Rasayana- in Day To Day Life
Dr. G. Deepak, P.G. Sch.,, Guide: Dr. Suresh Babu Dept. of Panchakarma, D.G.M.A.M'C. Gadag
Ayurveda does not mcrely believe in adding the number of years of life, but it advocates adding the
life to each other. l'his rnay be one of the reasons that the prime aim of Ayurveda is of preserve and
promote the health of healthy persons. In present scenario due to lack of following Acharas which
are mentioned by our Acharyas, may be the reason for causing troubles in day to day life' In our
classics Acharyas have explained about Dinacharya, Sadvritta, etc. due to non acceptance of this
people will get disorder like iow back ache, cancer and other dangerous disorders. In classical texts
Acharyas have mentioned about dif{erent types of Rasayanas. Among those Rasayanas Acharya
Charaka has mentioned about the Achara Rasayana (Ch.Chi i/4'h Pada 30-35) by performing this we
wiil get the general berrehts of Rasayana. Acharyas have also considered Achara Rasayana as

Concept Of Infant Feeding In Ayurveda
Dr Laxmi PG Scholar, ' Dr lvloti Rai, Asso. Prof. Prof. Abhimanyu Kumar, Head,
PG Deptt of Bai Roga, NIA, Jaipur. M.P.3
Keywords: Infant feeding, Breast milk Dhatri
Food is one of the basic need of human life. The nutritional problems of childhood differ from '
those of adult. All nutrients must provide not only energy and replacement of tissue, but aiso for
growth involving an increase in size of all tissues in the body. Infancy is the period of growth
spurt of all tissues and is therefore the most delicate in terms of nutritional care. Nutritional
problems are most liable to occur during this period. Keeping in view the importance of above
facts, Acharyas have classified the childhood period on the basis of their food requirement i.e.-
Ksirap(milk is main diet), Ksirannada (milk and cereal both) andAnnada (cereals as main diet).
Milk is the lone food of a newborn; therefore much stress has been put forth.for describing
various aspects of milk. Formation and secretion of milk, Dhatri, methods of breast feeding,
measures and drugs for increasing milk secretion (i.e- Stanya Janan Dravyas)etc. are the topics
which will be detailed later in full paper.

Aura and Chakra Scanning.as Investigation in Complementary Medicine
Dr. Vaibhav Lunkad, Dr, Thomton, WPC-lvfIT College, 134 Paud R.oad, Kothrud, Pune'38
Ayurveda knows the importance of the seven chakras, the endocrine glands related to it and the
emotions affected. Secondly, also the effect of rnind and environment or stress can be detected in
Aura Scanning or Electro Interstitial Scanning. It is now very clear that human energy fields are
affected and detected before the actual organs are affected or disease manifests. Since Ayurveda also
deals with prevention of disease, there is no doubt patients can be given objective proofs by PIP or
EIS Scans and convince Ayurvedic therapies scientifically. Not only that, allopathic blood urine
parameters are known to be insufficient to explain Ayurvedic Science, hence it is definitely going to
be useful,to Ayurved. We have done extensive positive research on aronratherapy drugs, energy
psychology. Correlation analysis between energy field scanning devices and conscious perception
ofbody issues. Aura, Chakra studies also show that lifestyle problerns and the need to,change them,
clearly.
Rote of Rasayan in Geriatrics

Geriatric health problem has become a great concern all over the world. With ageing, normal cellular
function and other bio-chemical processes become hampered which lead to diminished vitality at
physical and psychic level. The leading causes ofrnortality among aged people compriserespiratory
problems, heart diseases, cancer and stroke. Significant causes of morbidity among this group are
chronicinflammatory and degenerative conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease,
depression, psychiatric disorders, Parkinson's disease and age-related urinary probiems. In such

188. Global Ayurved Conferenee & Health Expo 2009 Mass-Health & Addiction
cases the conventional.medical therapy fails to provide an effective management plan and hence is
severely compromised. Another challenge with conventional medical therapy is that it does not
have health promoting agents. Ayurveda, on the other hand, has Rasayan drug like Chyavanprasha;
Triphala, and Shilajeet that enhance physiology processes that influence metabolic and imrnunological
status. Such interventions are significant in the context of geriatric care.

KeSrwords: Hammam, Unani concept, Humours (AkhlaQ
Basic concept of Unani System of Medicine:Unani system of medicine is based on the theory of
AkhlateArba
o'fourhumours"
I)arn(Blood), Balgharn (Phlegm), Safia (Yellow Bile), Sauda (Black
Bile) each of them is further categorized as being Hot Moist i.e. Blood, Cold Moist i.e. Phlegm, Hot
Dry i.e. Yellow Bile, Cold Dry i.e. Black Bile. Every individual has his own unique profile of
hurnours, which must be maintained in harmony to preserve the health, because the disease is due to
the disproportionate distribution ofhumours. If thebody becomes weak, and this harmony is disrupted,
a physician can be called upon to help & restore balance. 'fhis
may be restored by using correct diet
and nutrition and/or the regimental therapy, pharmacotherapy, and surgery.
IJnani system also describes six essential factors for maintenance of health & prevention called
"Asbaabe Sitta Zarooriah'. Regimental Therapy is closely related with Asbaabe Sitta Zarcoiah
.Unani physicians have described various type of regimental therapy e.g.Hammam (Turkish bath),
Leeching, Cupping, Venessection, Exercise; and Massage. Typically the term Hammam stands for
atype of bath in which the bather sweats freely in a room heated by hot dry air (or a series of two or
three rooms maintained at progressively higher temperature.),usually followed by a cold plunge, a
fulI body wash, and massage and final period of relaxation in a cooling roorn. Irr modern life style

Cervicitis (Iltehabe Unqur Rehm) And lt's Management : A Review
Salma Mirza ,PG scholar, Ismath Shameem , Wajeeha Begum, lecturer, lJmrazMubeen,HOD,
Dept of OBG, NIUM, Bangalore
The term cervicitis (Iltehabe Unqur Rehm) is reserved to infection of the endocervix including the
glands and the stroma. The infection may be acute or chronic. It is one of the commonest lesions of
the female genital tract. The cervix is a frequent point of entry for infection. Cervicitis is very
cornmon, affecting more than half of all women at some point during their adult lives. Intercourse at
an early age, highrisk sexual behavior, multiple sexual partners, and ahistoryof sexuallytransmitted
diseases increase the risk of cervicitis in women. Acute cervicitis may resolve completely orprogress
to a state of chronic cervicitis.Chronic inflammation of the cervix is very common and is seen in
about 80% of women with any gynecological compiaints. According to Unani System of Medicine
Iltehabe Unqur Rehm may be Iltehabe haar or Iltehabe baarid. Iltehabe haar is due to the domination
of hot humours mainly Safra and Dam and Iltehabe baarid is due to the domination of Balgham. It is
also caused by trauma, after abortion, difficult labour, deiivery conducted in an unhygienic condition,
excessive intercourse. Now a days, the western medicine used for this problem have many side
effects and unable to treat the disease completely. A number of Unani medicine ascribed to be
Muhatlil (anti-inflammatory), Musakkin (analgesic), Munnavim (sedatives) Mulatti(demulcent),
Musaffi (blood purifier) are considered suitable in inflammatory condition such as Iltehabe Unqur
Rehm.The details will be discussed in full length paper.

produce the child which we label as infertility. Number of treatments has been practiced for the
purpose but among them Uttarbasti is one of the proved and best treatment. There are number of
factors responsible for inferlility but this specialized treatrnent is effective treatment for majority of
the defects.
This specialized procedure is successfully conducted in our hospital, Arogyashala Rugn alaya,Nashik
since previous no of years. f.here are no of cases we come across of infertility in our OPD. These
cases were treated with Uttarbasti having very good result and majority of the patients have conceived.
This special treatment is not only effective on treatment of infertility but other no of disorders
related to reproductive system can be very well treated with the treatment like menorrhagia, DUI},
prolapse etc, Good results have obtained in these diseased and even hysterectomy can be avoided.
Thus it is proved treatment for infertility and relatively less cost effective.

To Study the Efficacy of Shatavari Mandur in Garbhini Pandu
Dr. Milind Hirve
In India iron deficiency anemia is the commonest nutritional deficiency anemia in pregnancy. In
India nearly 25% -30% of maternal deaths is due to PIH, PREECLAMPSIA, ECLAMPSIA are
associated with anemia also 307o matemal death lday are occur in anemia due to intra & post
partum bleeding . So the anemia in pregnancy is the cause behind high maternal morbidity & mortality
rate. In modern medicine iron supplementation therapy is used to treat anemia which is very costly
& accompanied by adverse effect like constipation, gastritis, nausea, G.I. upset etc. According to
Ayurveda anemia (Pandu) is Rasapradoshajvyadhi treated with Mandur Kalpa. To overcome above
problem I have decide to study the efficacy of Shatavarimandur in Garbhinipandu. Reason to select
this Kalpa- Mandurbhasm- is the oxidised compound of Loha which is processed with Goghrita to
have precise action on Rasa-rakta -dhatvagni & readily absorption causes Sampraptibhanga
Shatavari-is Rasayandr avya & especially advised in pregnancy which is not only gives nutritional
supplement but also improves drug efficacy. Amalaki- is also another Rasayanadravya containing
vit.C which accelerates Iron absorption from drug & diet also. Trial conducted on 20 patients for i
month. Follows Revised Wong Scale Group A- 10 pts. with Shatavarimandur 500rng BD.
Group B- 10 pts. with tab. Ferrous sulfate i00mg BD. Outcomes are; 1. Drug contains high elemental
Iron 68.3o/o than F.S.(60.0%). 2. Average increase in Hb% is 1.58 gm in trial group were as 0.68%
in controi group i.e (p< 0.0001). 3. The significant result observed for symptoms of Pandu like
tacchycardia, palpitation, dyspnoea on exertion, dryness of mouth, weakness i.e (p<0.001) in trial
group. 4. No adverse effect seen.5,It was very cost effective.
Conclusion- Shatavari Mandur is very efficient drug in Garbhini Pandu

Cancer is a diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth, invasion, and sometimes
metastasis. The branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention
ofcancer is oncology.
Cancer is a burning disease of the present era. It affects people at all ages, even fetuses, but the
risk for most varieties increases with age. Cancer causes about 13o/o of alI deaths. According to the
American Cancer Society, 7.6 million people died from cancer in the world during 2007.
Ayurveda is a science of life having the aim of maintaining the nonnalcy of healthy person and
curing the diseases in the diseased.
Thousands of herbal and traditional compounds are being screened worldwide to validate their
use as anti-cancerous drugs, Ihe science of Ayurveda is supposed to add a step on to the curative
aspects of cancers that have resemblance with ciinical entities of arbuda and granthi mentioned in

Introduction/ Background; Aging is a natural process of being and ultimately the being is subjected
for death. The Ayurveda used the words such as Vruddha, Vardhakya, Jara, etc., to denote the
sencscence i.e. ageing defines as "'lhe organic process of growing older and showing the effects of
increasing age under the influence of fourth dimension - Time". The ageing is of physical (Body) or
psychoiogical (Mental) rnaturity. On the other hand the death is -The
cessation of life i.e. cessation
of integrated tissue and organ functions or loss of heartbeat, absence of breathing and cerebral
death.
"A fire-mist and a planet, A crystal and a cell, A jellyfish and a saurian, A cave where the cave men
dwell; Then a sense of law and order, A face upturned from the clod; Some call it Evolution, And
others call it God."
-

Centenarians, though rare at a prevalence of approximately one per 10,000 in industrialized countries,
are among the fastest growing segment of our population. Familial studies indicate that exceptional
longevity runs strongly in farnilies, but as of yet, few genetic variations have been found to account
for this survival advantage. It is likely that the prevalence of centenarians is increasing because
achieving exceptional old age is multi factorial. To be clear no where any importance is drawn to
clarify or attribute disease origin with reference to age or age related condition descriptions are
noted in Ayurvedic literature.

terms, concepts and issues of ageing in Ayurveda require
elaboration and standar dtzatton.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterrzed by progressive impairment of brain function as a
consequence of ongoing neuronal celi death. Apoptotic mechanisms have been irnplicated in this
process, but the immature brain differs from the adult brain in its sensitivity. Several observational

studies have shown that elderly men expcrrence a stecper decline in cognitive function and have
lower cognitive performance than women, In a study of 1 50 elderly men and women without dementia,
positive associations were found between endogenous estradioi (Shukra) levels and perfonnance on
verbal melnory tasks in wonlen but not in mcn.
Objectives regarding thought/concept
' To understand and postulate rvhether ageing is physical or psychological
' Attributing and isolating of the psychological ageing in tenns of Neuro (Brain) ageing
' Finding fpctors / medicaments for retarding / regulating the Neuro-ageing
Main body of thought expression: I?raiity,
'fhe
state of being weak in health or body - especially
from old age is a cotnmon phenomenon. The process ofbiological aging is a complex phenomenon,
depending on a manifold of different parameters, including nature of the organism, lifestyle, diet,
and so forth. In order to compare different aging phenotypes, a global qualitative and quantitative
proteomic analysis of different species is necessary.
Many more researches are undertaken to observe the aging and its related pathology to study from
contemporary medical field and boosted the Geriatrics as a specialized branch. But in Ayurveda this
branch neither has any significance nor importance, because the fundamental concept ofAyurveda
defines bio-availability and sustenance of toxic free tissue buiiding and maintenance by Bio-fire,
through out the life span and ultimately a voluntary tennination ofbiological needs. Thus any where
in the Ayurveda death is not defined, but casually designated it as inevitability transpires of Life.
Moreover the atheisticAyurveda believes the re-birth and Karma Vipaka, thus the care for death and
old age is not focused as we never care for Sunset as we are conformed of next day sunrise.
Common understanding to ageing is wrinkling of skin; loss of vision, teeth, etc. and in case of
females we observe even the dropping of llreast. Bhavamishra, describing Mahamarichadi Taila in
Kushtha compliments that, "if Mahamarichadi Taila Nasya is done at the "Prathame Vayasi" (puberty)
of iady -
even after attain the old age the breast never drops". This statement is complimentary but
not shown any specificity / significance towards the VardhakyajanyaVyadhi or Jara Vyadhi. On the
other hand Vagbhata while directing for regular body unction, relays the message of irnportance of
fatty substances for long healthy skin as Purusha is Snehasaara (A.I{.Su 2/8).
A number of factors important to longOvity are becoming more prevalent with modern public health
measures and interventions. Such a rnultiple trait rnodel would predict that the more extreme the
phenotype, the more likely discernible environmental and genetic characteristics are to be discovered
that are important to achieving very old age, much of it disability-free. Ayurveda prefers in it's
concepts of ageing to Jaati (Race/ genetical), Desha (Geographical / environmental), Prakruti
(constitution) and t\hara (Food). Shamgdhara (Sh.Pu. Khand 6120), explains the ageing in decade
intervals and important note is the development of the individual is completed by the 2"d decade.
The other signs of ageing in sequence are -- loss of Prabha (luster), Medha (Intellect), Twak (Wrinkling
skiit), Drushti (vision), Shukra (estrogens), Vikrama (strength) and Buddhi (wisdom). The seven
step ageing includes - intellect, Vision, Shukra and wisdom, are of Brain / psycho-neuro connected.
Thus studies of families highly clustered for longevity or studies of super-centenarians, people age
110 and older, hold promise of facilitating such discoveries.
l'he Vata out ofTridosha is prime factor for ageing that develops Kapha inverseiy proportional. This
I
..........-e r72 t...........

Vata controls the mind which has a referral / functional seat as Brain. Rather than becorning old
aged, Ayurveda describe the ageing as "Vruddha" i.e. growing fui1her, as a state of development.
This is reflected and observed as Vruddha I Jaraavastha is ofVata dominant and expressed as Kampa,
Vepathu, Chanchalya, etc,. Even the examination factors / functions of the Manas viz. Chintyarn,
vicharyarn, etc,. also have a bifacial effect is validating the neuro ageing.
:
The second Dosha in the process of ageing is Pitta, relates with Jara and Jarana. The word "Jara",
personified as daughter of Death, is often used for digestion than to old age in Ayurveda. "Geri" of
contemporary geriatrics developed from Jara denotes Dilapidation or Decrepitude i.e. state of
deterioration due to long use or usage ofbody tissues or old age. The Jara understood as "Paka" i.e.
conversional process. The Dhatupaka, probably identified as technical term with reference to tissue
ageing in Ayurveda is suitabie. Where the tissues are growing older and transformed from active
building state to the morbid state. Of course the morbid growth is disease and the morbid melancholic
state is death. Ayurvedic literature specifies the usage of medicaments for long living or retarding
Dhatupaka, understood as retardation of ageing or siowing the Dhatupaka, termed as Rasayana.
Evaluating the physical body components (nnatu; with their respective qualities and measures makes
one's to understand the effect of Rasayana.
The development and application of high-throughput methods to study aspects of aging-related
biology are among the key forces driving the field. New hypotheses are being developed, and new
questions are being asked on a genome-wide scale. High-throughput technologies offer many
advantages over traditional methods, but they also present new pitfalls for the unwary.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine's Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) catalogs
human genes and disorders. Although it doesn't focus on aging-related conditions, it contains
information about many diseases that disproportionately affect the elderly. For example, searching
for "Parkinson's Disease" produces a list of several dozen genes.
Telomeres are the physical ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes. In many organisms, including
humans and yeasts, telomeres are composed of short repeated DNA sequences and their associated
proteins' Many human somatic cells do not express sufficient telomerase activity to prevent telomere
repeat loss, resuiting in cell senescence or death when telomeres shorten to a critical length. This
telomere length checkpoint for aging and cell growth is also seen in yeast whose genes for telomerase
components have been deleted, allowing yeast to serve as a model for telomere linked senescence
and aging in human cells.
Traditionally, the onset and progression of menopause in humans has been attributed to ovarian
follicular decline. Because the foilicles are the primary source of circulating estrogens, these age-
related changes lead to a number of symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, irritability, and
depression, as well as increased risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and age-associatecl
diseases. Recent research indicates that along with the ovarian changcs at menopause, the
hypothalamic and pituitary levels of the reproductive axis also undergo significant changes during
reproductive aging. Nutritional interventions Based on Mitochondrial Aging, Free Radicals and
Caloric Restriction studies opens new dimensions in the field of long living.
Evolution by natural selection works through differential reproductive success. Individuals with
higher reproductive rates and better survival of themselves and their offspring pass more genes to
future generations. By managing the flow, distribution, and rate of consumption of finite supplies of
I
..-........a 173 a...........

201. Global Ayurved Conference & I"Iealth Expo 2009 Ageing Gracefully
glucose (Rasa) and fat (Sneha) among competing physiological needs, hormones implement trade-
offs between investment in growlh, reproduction, and survival. lncreased circulating glucose bene{its
the basic metabolic function of irnporlant tissues such as the brain, which is cntirely dependent on
glucose. Otherwise Rasayana understood as - Retardation of Necrobiosis (the normal degeneration
and death of living ceils Ias in various epithelial ceils]), Retardation of Cytokinesis (Organic process
consisting of the division of the cytoplasrn of a cell following karyokinesis bdnging about the
separation into two daughter cells and Bio availability (Retardation of llio-division by suppiy of
abundant requisite nutrients for long term cell maintenance)'
Thus the Ayurveda defined Rasayana and Vajikarana together are necessitate for long iiving under
the influence of Vata (genetically and neurologically) and Pitta (i{ormonal and enzyrnatic). Many
questions arise in the process of understanding these branches ofAyurveda. WhileAyurvedic fratemity
is dreaming about their past giory, the contemporary rnedical branches are leading towards success.
It is very much necessary for the Ayurveda to define, dernarcate, declare, discriminate, distinguish
and demonstrate the I{asayana as 'oJara Chikitsa". The study may be framed at Two tire/ states of
study, viz.l) Physical (Structural) based Rasayana study include tissues /Organs i.e. muscle, bone;
brain, hear1, ete.2) Psycho-Xeuro (Irunctional) based Rasayana study include Brain ageing, fitness,
tnemory sense activity, etc. l'he third method of study is Probiem oriented study where the weight
loss, obesity, dehydration, anorexia, insomni a, elc. conditions commonly obserrred with old age or a
direct study of Disease oriented study in old age such as Hypertension, Parkinsonism, Alzheimer's
disease, anemia, constipation, etc. are considered'
The other way three tire studies includes i) Biological Sphere factors -
Personality, Endocrinal,
Immune systern, \eurotransmitters, 2) Psychological Sphere factors
*-
Genetic, Emotions, Motivation
and 3) Social Sphere factors - Social support, Stressful life events sociai nonns. Of course a detailed
discussion is necessary. Ayurveda just now wakeup; long walk is ahead.
Applications of the proposed thought: It is wisely said that "Brain is l{ardware and'the Mind is
Software. The man who is young by rnind is said always young. The neuro ageing is rnodulated and
measured and modeled for the benefit of future generations. The Medhya Dravyas are mostly sedatives
and Madhura Snigdha. Thus various herbs that are said as Brumhana iSantarpana or Vatahara
Rasayanas are applied in the said psycho-neuro models oftissue restoratives that prevent Necrobiosis,
Cytokinesis and karyokinesis. Even the lformone regulative toxic herbs such as Gunja, Vishatinduka,
etc, also have to evaluated to look forward such benefits.
Summing up/ conclusion: Aging is a natural process of being called as Vruddha, Vardhaky&, Jara,
etc., denotes of physical or psychological maturity. Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by
progressive irnpairment ofbrain function. Attributing and isolating of the psychological ageing is in
terrns of Neuro (Brain) ageing. Finding factors / medicaments for retarding / regulating the Neuro-

2.2 Psychological
2.3 Social
9.3) Cause is unknown, when we truly know why we age, then the question.
"Can we slow or stop the aging process?"
9.4) Probable Causes
Aging is the result of a combination of processes both
(a) internal (b) external
9.5) Theories about whv we age
9.5.1 Wear & tear theory. Comparison with machine that over time wears down from use.
Bodily systems receive cumulative damage from extemal forces such as
i) Stress, ii) The environment, iii) Life style
Internal forces such as
i) Toxins released as a result of metabolism (Aama) cells become damaged & increasingly fail to
reproduce or repair themselves. They die off in larger nos. as we age.
9.5.2. Theory of planned obsolescence holds the aging is genetically programmed into each of
our cells.
It explains why there are characteristic Life spans (Jeevana Awastha) or maximum age limits for
different species.
9.5.3. Combination of above 2 theories - Combination Theory
a) individual can prolong useful Life by modifizing such outside influences as
(i) Stress (ii) Diet
b) Each person is born with a genetically predetermined.Life expectancy that cannot be exceeded.
This interaction of external & internal programming would account for individual variations in life
span.
9.5.4 The error theory proposes that as cells
i) Divide
ii) Multiply, random elrors guided protein synthesis occurring eventually to failure of the organism.
9.5.5 Free radical theory -
Holds that in presence of certain types of oxygen, metabolizing cells produce chemical toxins that
destroy proteins & fats vital to cell functioning.
9.5.6 The Autoimmune Theory
Body's immune System (OJAS) gradually breaks down.
Antibodies once directed at detecting & destroying foreign microorganisms turn against the body.
(Change of faith) This allows Cancer & other diseases to invade. There are plants in Ayurveda
having Antioxidant action.
10) The stages ofAging
Elderhood is continually changing, dynamic process that can be broken into stages that reflect the
variations among the old.
10.1) Young-old roughly aged 65 to 75 are (a) healthy (b) active & (3) independent

Dr. Santosh N. Belavadi M.D. (AYU)
Lecturer & Incharge, Dept P.G studies in Panchakarrna D.G.M Ayu. Medical College Gadag.
Introduction: Ayurveda propounds a highly evolved science of life, health & carc where concept of
ageing & rejuvenation finds a prominent place. After birth, growth and senility ultirnately leading to
death are inevitable processer. tt l, correctly stated that ageing begins before birth and continues
through out life at different rates, in different race for different individuals & for different tissues of
the body. It ilvolves two opposite processes that simultaneously come in to operation i.e' growth
and atrophy. Ageing represents structural and functional changes of an organism.
Jeema-vaya (old-age) is characterised by decline in Dhathu, senses, ojas, vitality, virility, retention,
recollection, up"""h, and understanding. Vatadosha is dominant and gradually body undergoes
degeneration. in Vriddavastha, l)hatu, Virya, Indriya, Bala & Utsaha decreases day by day, loss of
hairs, wrinkling of skin, senile cough & short breath etc appears.
Jara and Rasayana: Rasayana stands as an answor to solve problems ofhealthful longevity including
mental development and rlsistance against disease. It is a specialized type of treatment influencing
the fundamental aspects of the body that is Dhatus, Agni, Srotamsi and helps in prevention of ageing.
Difference of Opinion is there about Rasayana in Jara. There is no cure for timely ageing and death.
Degenerative process can be slowed down to some extent, but can never be reversed- There for the
relevance of Rasayana therapy comes in the context of premature ageing and death due to it.
Definition of Rasayana Related to Jara: It has f,or its specific object the prolongation of human
life and the ilvigoration of memory and vital organs. It deals with recipes which enable a man to
retain his manhood or youthful vigor up to a good old age and which generally to rnake the hurnan
system inl"glnerable to disease and decay. Dalhana cotntnenting on word "Vayasthapana", mentions

modern jet-age world which is said to be a world of amazing achievements, is also becoming a
horrible world of stress. Stress is said to be one of the largest killers of Man today' it is now being
'accepted as being crucially related to our total health-Physicai, Mental and Ernotional. It is not
,u.piiring that interest in the issue has been rising in the present century which can be appropriately
called the
..Era
of Anxiety and Stress". Various disciplines of medicai science are trying hard to
combat this Stress by all possible means. Ayurveda plays a very imporlant role in the management
of this stress. There is no direct reference of Stress inAyurveda. But scattered references in the form
...........a 182 a,..........

210. Global,Ayawed Canference & Health Expo 2009 Ageing Gracefully
terms like Ayaas, Pralyabala, Bhaar , Prayalna, Tanaav etc. are found. So, a hypothesis can be
formulated where stress can be correlated with Buddhi, Dhruti, Smriti, Vibhramsha leading to
Pragyapradha finally causing physical and mental diseases. Stress is the outcome of such situations.
in Ayurveda Manas
'is
mainly vitiated in any of psychic diseases and Vata is mainiy responsible for
activities of Manas. Murdhataila is the recommended treatment for all rnental diseases. Shirodhafa
is includpd in 4 types of Murdhataila according to Vagbhatta. According to Dharakalpa drugs used
for Shirodhara should be selected on the basis of nature of the disease e.g. Tilataila, Ghee, Milk,
Takra, etc. but no where water is mentioned as Murdhataiia is basicaiiy a Sneha Kalpana. As medicated
oil is not affordable for all classes of the societ.v, an effort has been made to evaluate whether the
mode of action of Shirodhara is only due to mechanical effect or there is an effect of the drug used
for shirodhara. The clinical data will be presented at the time of seminar.

Stress is one of the largest killers of man today. Disturbances in various Manasika-bhavas disturb
the homeostasis of both body and mind by vitiating Manasa-dosha, Sharir-dosha & Agni. Thus,
stressful environment & disturbances in Manasika-bhava has adversely affected the healthy life
style and that givos rise to the symptorns ofAgeing before the time and called as PrematureAgeing,
These stressors produce excessive free radicals which have a major efftct on ageing.
Rasayana drugs are having proven phannacological properties like Immunomodulator, Adaptogenic,
Antistress, Antiarxiety, Antideprcssant and Hepatoprotective etc. and are thus helpful in counteracting
the aging process. A study was carried out in Jamnagar to assess the effect of a Rasayana consisting
of Guduchi, Shankhapushapi, Vacha, Vidang,Apamarg, Haritaki, Kushta and Shatavari (Bhaishajya

Dr. Kundan Chaudhuri, Ph.D Scholar, Kayachikitsa Dept., IPGT&R, GAU, Jamnagar
Geriatric health problem has become a greatconcern all over the world. With ageing, normal cellular
function and other bio-chemical processes become harnpered which lead to diminished vitality at
physical and psychic level. The leading causes of mortality among aged people comprise respiratory
problems, heart diseases, cancer and stroke. Significant causes of morbidity among this group are
chronic inflammatory and degenerative conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease,
depression, psychiatric disorders, Parkinson's disease and age-related urinary problems. In such
cases the conventionai medical therapy fails to provide an effective management plan and hence is
severely compromised. Another challenge with conventional medical therapy is that it does not
have health promoting agents. Ayurveda, on the other hand, has Rasayan drugs like Chyavanprasha,
Triphala, Shilajeet that enhance physioiogical processes that influence metabolic and immunological
status. Such interventions are significant in the context of geriatric care.

brain faculties and immune status), Ashwagandha (enhance vitaiity, improves immune status and
brain functions), Guduchi (stimulates psyconeuro immuno axis), Bramharasayana (restore old tissues),
Chyawanaprasha (improves vigour, vitality and rectifies joint disorders) etc can be used for these
purposes.
Conclusion: The above medicines are useful in promoting intellectual faculties , and can be used
against deterioration of speciai senses, and are equally compatible for managing wrinkles, arthritic
problems etc. Full paper will be presented in the seminar.

Rasavana like Deerghayu, Prasadana ofVarna and Bala and nourishment of all Dhatus can be achieved
by llasti also. (Su.Chi. 35/31) (Cha.Chi. I17-B)
Especially Rasayanas are indicated in old age people, according to Sushruta and other Acharayas,
Mustdiyapana Basti (Cha.Si. I2l16) is considered as king of Yapana-Basti. The ingredients of this
like Ksheera and Ghrita are considerpd as Nitya-rasayana. So this Basti will promote the Bala,

It is said that process of learning means understanding and remembering the things. A person's
ability to learn-things is directly proportional to his ability to recall the information. So one can say
that person with excellent memory can learn the thing s in better way. In present competitive world
man has to face the challenge ollearning new things. He will succeed only if he has memory in
excellent form. Although there is variety of mernory boosters available in the market, but there is
lack of evidence to support their memory enhancing property'
The Medhyarasayan mentioned in Ayurvedic classics can be a ray of hope in this direction' By the
virtue of inducilg mental up-liftrnent as a major influence several drugs in Ayurvedic classics are
claimed as Medhya. Medhya is an umbrella term used to describe the action of drug, to enhance the
person's ability to store, to retain and subsequent retrieve the information'
bharakacharya while explaining Medhyarasayana has given prime importance to Shankhapushpi,
M4ndukapami, Guduchi and Yashtimadhu. Acharya has advocated different forms like Swarasa,
Kalka and Choonra for administration. Among these Yashtimadhu has been told to be given in
Choorna form with Ksheera as Anupana.

Keywords- Ageing, Neurological diseases.
You do not heal old age. You protect it, you promote it, and you extend it. The life science of
Ayurveda explains that, process of senescence begins as naturally Vata attains provocation a1d this
process of ageing is genetically determined and environmentally modulated.
Theories responsible for this degeneration are Sahaj theory and vatic theory.
Equilibrium of Tridoshas, Agni and Mala is very important for health. Among there Agni controls
theharmony of Doshas and structural and functional integrity ofDhatus. To maintain this equilibrium
proper nourishment is necessary for which proper flow of Rasa Dhatu is necessary. The degeneration
or Kshaya is produced by any disturbance in or pathology of any of these factors. Though it is so the
physical, psychological signs & symptoms found in old age and degenerative diseases are of Vata
origin.
Pakshaghata, Ardita, Jivha Stambha, Akarmanyata,Visvachi, Padadaha, Katayakhanja, Kampavata
and Mutratita are some degenerative neurological diseases commonly found in old age.
Ttlese diseases being degenerative and because of Vata aggravation the treatment should be
Agnideep an, Vatanulomana, Snehana, S antarp ana and Rasayana.
This treatment definitely helps to reduce or to control the signs, symptoms of above Neurological
diseases.

Introduction: These are times when our thinking ability blocks and go through mental & physieal
stress. Today, we can not actually contradict or reject from one of the most common problems that
we are facing is "stress". Now a days every individual is facing stress problems by various ways,
from school children, pass outs, working professionals and no age group is left out of this probiem.
As per recent studies done by psychological association states that 60Yo of world's population is
facing stress. The majority of global population is suffering from hypertension, cardiovascular &
mental disorders, sometime feels that stress has become one of the prime killer factors in today's
time. Ayurveda is one holistic approach that can overcome stress related problems. In Charaka
Samhita, Description ofAchara Rasayana lies latent in the depth ofAyurvedic literature. It's often
ignored & over looked being considered as unrealistic and impracticable. But the truth is that the
longevity of life and essence of physical and mental stress lies in it. Transdental meditation is also
found effective in reliving the stress.
Conclusion: In such regards Achara Rasayana will be cheapest but still more effsctive type of
therapy for managing stress. So for that creating awareness, counseling & more practical approach
regardingAchara Rasayana in various levels is the need of the hour. By this the aim of global health
can be achieved easily.

Role of Rasayana in Mental llealth
Dr .M. Rameshkumar, Viiapur
Introduction: A sound rnind in a sound body has been recognized as a social ideal for many centuries.
Mental health is not mere absence of mental illness. Ilut has three main characteristics i.e. maintains
the balance between hirn and the surrounding world, a good state of harmony between hirnself and
the others, a good co-existence between the realities of the self and that of other people and
environment.
Rclation between physicaL and Psychic lifc: The hrrman being is made up of Shareera (body),
Ildriya (sense organs), Satva and Atma. In general l,ulll&Il beings are made up of gross physical
body and subtle mind. "sarvaangaanaaam hi asya hrudayam moolam Shareera". Hrudayam is site
mind. Also never control theVegaas such as urine, stools etc. but always conkol the emotional urges
such as Raagaadi (Kaarna, Krodha etc.), who arebroughtup on wholesome and nourishing diet, and
who are psychologically strong do not suffier from diseases frequently. For this Rasayana drugs are
particularly used for Vyadhi Kshamatwa.
Psycho-analysis in Ayurvcda: The mental states are divided into Satwa, Rajas, and Tamas and
exist together and simultaneously in body exerting their influence on each other. If a body is ill,
mind is also affbcted and ifmind is ill, body is affected. (Anyonya-aashraya) So most of diseases are
psychosomatic in nature.
'freatmcnt: Three chief methods Daiva-vyapaasharya (by Mantras), Yukti-vyapaashraya
(administration of ,/\ahara, Aushadha, Vihara) Satwaavajaya (measures controlling the mind)
Itasayana, which acts as an anti-oxidant and immuno-modulator heips in maintaining the good
health in swastha and contribute in the mental iliness too. Rasayanas include Aushadhayogas and
Aachara Rasayana (Sadvrutta) and Pathya-ahara (ghee). Aaachara-rasayana is a comprehensive
package for health prornotion and operates on the psych-sornatic platform of an individual paving
path to a stress free life. Rasayanas prepared out of Brahrni, Shankhapushpi, Mandukaparni,
Jataarramsi, Vacha etc. mentioned to preserve the rnental faculties and possess special affinity in
augmenting the ifitegrity of Tridosha balance in the body thus providing a favorable media to promote
a holistic concept of Ayurveda irr balancing body-mind-spirit.
Conclusion: To fulfill the airn ofAyurveda, Rasayana drugs are necessary to promote youth, longevity,
memory inteliigence, compiexion, best phy5jSgth as well as senses.

Aging or a natural progressive decline in body systems starts in early adulthood. But it only becomes
obvious several decades later and this is when we call ourselves old. Oid age can cause wrinkles and
liver spots on the skin, change of hair color to grey or white or loss of hair (or both), lessened
hearing and sight abilities, loss of reaction time and reduced ability to think or recall memories.
'Therefire it's hardly surprising that many of us wish for an early, peaceful dignified, respectful
death and want to escape from a prolonged dependent life on others.

Role of Rasayana in Immune System

Keywords : Immuno-modulators, Polymorphonetrophus, Chemotaxis
Introduction: In the yester years ofmodemmedical science obscure terminologies like 'anti-ageing',
'Immuno-modulators', 'brain tonics' did exist. Probably Ayurveda is only ancient scierrce of life,
which provided rational basis of such thoughts among the public. Chapter of Rasayana is the standing
proof for today.
Concept of Rasayana: In the view of two prime mottos of Ayurveda Rasayana is categorized - (i)
Kamya Rasayana to get Ayu, Medha, Kanti. (ii) Naimittika Rasayana to promote Bala of Rogi, (iii)
Achara Rasayana for mental and spiritual health. A11 these will help for nourishment of Dhatus
ultimately Ojas, which promotes long span of youthful life, full of vigor and free from diseases and
prevent ageing. It is possible when one has strong resistance and general immunity. So it can be
postulated that Rasayana drugs may possess immuno-modulatory effect.
Action of Rasayana: It can be explained in three levels. (i) Poshak-stara (ii) Agni-stara (iii) Srotas-
stara. Naimittika Rasayana acts bybreaking Dosha-Dushya-Ssammurchana along with Dharuposhana.
It is evident from recent studies that in the aspect of nonspecific immunity Rasayana drugs increase

also cytotoxic induction of T-helper and natural killer (NK) cells and activation of complement

reduce the stress and thus prevent the release of free radicals and improves psychoneuro immunity

Vyadikshamatva (immunity) according to Ayurveda has 2 different aspects - $adhibala
Virodhitva i.e. immunity against the strength of the disease and Vyadhi-utpadaka
Prathibandhakatva i.e. immunity against recurrence of the existing disease, Rasayana serves
towards rnodulating both the aspects. They also act towards delaying the aging process and works
towards giving a better quality of life. Allergic Rhinitis is a condition which is produced as a
result of hyperactivity or oversensitivity of the immune system to the allergens. Though a
corlmon disease affecting the young adults, its impact on daily life cannot be underestimated.
The disease in the long run can lead to sinusitis, otitis media and bronchial asthma.
This paper is an attempt to evaluate the utility of Agastya Haritaki Rasayana in Allergic Rhinitis.

Dr. Mrs. Indapurkar K V. ,(M.D Ph.d), HOD, Sharir Kriya dept. BVUCOA, Pune,
Background and Objectives: This study was designed to estimate the correlation of ageing process
with Manas Prakruti.
Methods 1) literary study - Ayurvedic literature was studied about Manas Prakruti & the process of
ageing was also studied.
2)Practical study- With the help of Prakruti Parikshan Proforma, Manas Prakruti of 500 individuals
was assessed Percentage of Satva, Rajas & Tamas was deoided & it was compared with their ageing
process.
Results: Comparative study of ageing with percentage of Satva, Raja & Tama shows that as per the
percentage of Satva decreases the percentage of signs & symptoms of ageing increases Raja increases
the ageing process. Maximum percentage of Tama shows Maximum ageing.
Conclusion: It seams very essential for every doctor to know Manas Prakruti of his patient to have
correct diagnosis severity & prognosis ofthe disease.
There is a perfect correlation between Satva, Raja, Tama dominance and ageing process. It seams
that to have healthy body one should have healthy mind. Rajas &Tama are Manas Doshas. One
must control them to avoid their bad effects.

Role of Shodana w.s.r. to Rasayana for Maintenance of Health
Dr. Sanath Kumar D.G. (PG Scholar), Dept of Panchakarma, D.G.M.Ayurvedic Medical College *
Gadag
Kepvords: Shodana, Rasayana, Panchakarma
Ayurveda does not merely believe in adding the number of years to life, but it advocates adding life
to each rnoment. This may be one of the reasons that the pnme aim ofAyurveda is to preserve and
promote health of healthy persons and preventing the disease.
It is explained in Charaka Samhita that, Rasayana should be administered after proper Shodana.
Acharya Vagbhata has also explained Rasayana & Vajikarana become useless administered without
Shodana just as colouring a dirty cloth.
We can get references about Rasayana effect of different Shodana modalities like Snehana, Vamana,
Virechana, Basti and Nasya in classics. And in general, the Shodana Phalashruti is explained as
"Jaram krichrena labhate, chiram jivatyanamayam" Sharira-Shodana means it is Shodhana of
Srotasas, because Sharira is made up of Srotasas only. Srotas not only means the channels of the
body. Even the microscopic pores which are present in the semipermiable membrane of the cells,
through which exchange of nutrients, water and oxygen occurs, those can be considered as the
Srotasas.
Decrease in the life span, pre-aging, decrease in immunity of the person occurs because of shrinkage,
injury or the death of body cells.
The shrinkage of the cells etc is due to the toxins inside the body, by free radicals and by the obstruction
of pores in the semipermiable membrane. So by Shodana toxins can be put out from the Sharira and
then only the cells become able to receive the Rasayana Drayas which are going to be administered
after Shodhana.
So Shodana is having its own importance in Rasayana Chikitsa for maintenance of health.
