Classical Texts of Ayurveda: A Chronological and Historiographical Review
type: item
description: Introduction: Ayurveda possesses one of the oldest continuous medical literary traditions in the world, extending from the Vedic period to the modern era. Over several centuries, numerous treatises, redactions, and commentaries were composed in Sanskrit, reflecting the progressive development of medical concepts, clinical practices, and philosophical foundations. A chronological and historiographical examination of these classical texts is essential to understand the evolution of Ayurvedic knowledge and to identify the original contributors of key doctrines. Methods: This review is based on a systematic analysis of Ayurveda ka Vaigyanika Itihāsa authored by Ācārya Priyavrata Sharma, a widely accepted reference in Ayurvedic historiography. Information regarding authors, texts, redactions, and commentaries was extracted and reorganized in a century-wise chronological framework. The literature was classified into three major historical phases: Prachīna-kāla (pre-Christian era to 7th century CE), Madhya-kāla (8th–15th century CE), and Ādhunika-kāla (16th–20th century CE). Only Sanskrit texts recognized by Priyavrata Sharma were included to maintain consistency. Results: The chronological tables generated in this study present a structured overview of nearly two millennia of Ayurvedic literary development. They illustrate the temporal placement of major Saṃhitās, commentaries, Nighaṇṭus, and subject-specific treatises, highlighting the gradual expansion and refinement of Ayurvedic concepts across different historical periods. Discussion: Although scholarly debates exist regarding the exact dating of several classical texts, the present compilation offers a practical and coherent historiographical framework. It serves as a useful reference for students and researchers and provides a foundation for future comparative historical studies in Ayurveda.

Clinical Significance of Depleted Doṣa in Doṣavaiśāmya: A Classical Ayurvedic Review
type: item
description: Introduction: Doṣavaiśāmya, the deviation of Vāta, Pitta, and Kapha from their physiological equilibrium, is a foundational concept in Ayurvedic pathology. While doṣavṛddhi is widely recognized for its direct pathogenic potential, the clinical implications of doṣakṣaya are less emphasized in classical and contemporary discourse. This review aims to elucidate the physiological, pathological, and therapeutic significance of depleted doṣa states within the framework of Ayurvedic diagnostics and treatment decision-making. Methods: A classical textual review was conducted using primary Ayurvedic sources including Caraka Saṃhitā, Suśruta Saṃhitā, and Aṣṭāṅga Hṛdaya, along with their authoritative commentaries. The review focuses on doṣavṛddhi, doṣakṣaya, digestive physiology, treatment principles, and disease-specific therapeutic guidelines. The clinical significance of depleted doṣa is analysed to interpret how depleted doṣas influence physiological outcomes and therapeutic response. Results: Analysis revealed that doṣakṣaya, though not independently pathogenic, significantly modulates doṣa dynamics and therapeutic suitability. Mṛdu koṣṭha is observed as a physiological response arising from relative depletion of Vāta and Kapha with Pitta predominance, influencing the action of mild laxatives. Doṣakṣaya was found to facilitate dominance of the remaining doṣas in the context of Kapha-kṣaya and pathological conditions like atyagni. Understanding depleted doṣa conditions plays a promising role in the administration of therapeutic substances like ghṛta in jvara vyādhi. The clinical understanding of doṣakṣaya is important in treatment selection, sequencing, and prediction of therapeutic outcomes. Discussion & Conclusion: Doṣakṣaya plays a decisive yet under-recognized role in current Ayurvedic diagnosis and therapeutics. Identifying depleted doṣas is essential for maintaining homeostasis, selecting appropriate interventions, preventing doṣa aggravation, and optimizing treatme…

Ayurvedic Principles and Therapeutic Protocols in Alcohol Addiction Management: A Review
type: item
description: Background: Alcohol addiction is a major global public health concern, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), harmful alcohol use is responsible for approximately 3.3 million deaths annually worldwide. Classical Ayurvedic texts describe conditions analogous to alcohol dependence, chronic toxicity, and withdrawal states under concepts such as madyapāna, madātyaya, and mada-atyaya cikitsā. Ayurveda describes a comprehensive framework for managing alcohol-related disorders through detoxification (śodhana), stabilization of mental functions (mano-saṃskāra), rejuvenation (rasāyana), and restoration of systemic balance. Management includes herbal formulations, diet and lifestyle regulation, Panchakarma therapies, and mind–body practices such as yoga and meditation. Materials and Methods: Data were compiled from classical Ayurvedic treatises, modern medical textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, clinical studies, and credible online scientific databases. Relevant information was analyzed to understand Ayurvedic principles and therapeutic interventions applicable to alcohol addiction and associated withdrawal states. Results: The Ayurvedic approach to alcohol addiction focuses on correcting the underlying disturbances in doṣa, agni, and mental faculties (manas). Evidence from classical principles and contemporary research suggests that Ayurvedic interventions may assist in detoxification, reduce withdrawal symptoms, improve neurocognitive function, and enhance emotional resilience. Integrative therapies—such as specific herbal formulations (e.g., Aśvagandhā, Brahmī, Harītakī), Panchakarma procedures, nutritional support, and mind–body practices—contribute to restoring physiological stability and promoting long-term behavioral change. Conclusion: Ayurveda offers a holistic and individualized framework for the management of alcohol addiction and its associated complications. When combined with structured reha…

Āyurvedic Management of Post-Menopausal Osteoporosis (Rajo-nivṛtti Janya Asthi-kṣaya): Clinical and Pharmacological Perspectives
type: item
description: Introduction: Rajo-nivṛtti signifies the natural cessation of the menstrual cycle, most often occurring around the age of 50. It marks a phase of vāta predominance. During this phase, degeneration occurs, with asthi dhātu kṣaya (bone depletion) becoming particularly prominent. This condition correlates with post-menopausal osteoporosis in modern medicine, characterized by reduced bone density due to cessation of hormones like estrogen, which can lead to complications such as fractures. Understanding of Rajo-nivṛtti janya Asthi-kṣaya involves focusing on the āśrayī–āśraya bhāva between vāta and asthi — asthi is the āśraya and vāta is the āśrayī. When the āśraya is damaged, the āśrayī is also impaired, and vice versa. The role of pṛthvī, agni, and vāyu mahābhūta in asthi dhātu formation, along with the application of sāmānya–viśeṣa siddhānta (sāmānya causes vṛddhi and viśeṣa causes kṣaya) in its pathogenesis and management, is the prime focus. This article explores the understanding and management of Rajo-nivṛtti janya Asthi-kṣaya. Objectives – This article aims to: Understand Rajo-nivṛtti janya Asthi-kṣaya from Āyurveda principles. Explore post-menopausal osteoporosis from a modern medical perspective. Correlate the two conditions. Evaluate effective Āyurveda management, including śamana, basti, and rasāyaṇa therapies. Methodology – A literary review of Āyurveda perspectives from different saṃhitā texts, along with modern reviews from gynecology textbooks and peer-reviewed journals, was conducted. Conclusion – An integrative approach incorporating internal medications, external therapies, rasāyaṇa (rejuvenation), and lifestyle modifications is presented as a safe and constitutionally aligned strategy for long-term management.

Rectal Drug Administration and Ayurvedic Basti Therapy: An Integrative Narrative Review
type: item
description: Background: Rectal drug administration remains a clinically valuable but relatively underutilized route in modern medicine. In Ayurveda, Basti therapy occupies a central therapeutic position, traditionally linked to the regulation of Vāta Doṣa and considered to exert systemic physiological effects. Objective: This narrative review examines classical Ayurvedic descriptions of Basti alongside contemporary scientific understanding of rectal absorption, enteric neurophysiology, immune–neural interactions, and microbiota-driven signaling. The aim is to explore potential conceptual intersections and outline plausible mechanistic hypotheses relevant to integrative and translational research. Methods: This narrative review integrates information from Ayurvedic classical texts (Saṃhitā), pharmacological literature, and recent biomedical research related to rectal drug delivery, mucosal physiology, neuroimmune communication, and gut microbiota–brain interactions. Results and Discussion: Ayurvedic notions such as Srotas (physiological channels) and the regulation of Vāta show conceptual parallels that can be broadly compared with modern frameworks involving mucosal permeability, lymphatic and venous transport, and enteric nervous system (ENS) activity. Traditional Basti formulations, which combine honey, salt, lipids, and herbal decoctions, echo several principles of modern excipient design. Potential mechanisms by which Basti may exert systemic effects—though not yet experimentally confirmed for classical formulations—include ENS modulation, neuroimmune interactions, microbiota-mediated metabolite signaling, and lymphatic-assisted absorption. These interpretive bridges suggest that Basti-inspired strategies may offer translational value for designing hybrid rectal drug-delivery systems.

Ayurvedic Bhasma in the Management of Pakṣāghāta (Hemiplegia): Clinical and Pharmacological Perspectives
type: item
description: Introduction: Pakṣāghāta, described in Ayurveda as a Vāta-pradhāna Nanātmaja Vyādhi characterised by Ekadeśa-Stambha, Karmahāni, Gati-Saṅga, and Vakrikaraṇa, clinically correlates with hemiplegia, defined in contemporary medicine as paralysis of one side of the body due to an upper motor neuron lesion. Bhasma-based Rasaūṣadhis are traditionally advocated in Vātavyādhi for their Sūkṣma, Tīkṣṇa, Yogavāhī, Rasāyana, and Vāta-śāmaka properties; however, scientific evidence supporting their neurotherapeutic role remains limited. Methods: A narrative review was undertaken using classical Ayurvedic texts, published analytical studies, experimental pharmacological research, and available clinical observations. Particular emphasis was placed on Swarna, Rajata, Abhraka, Loha, Hartala, and Mānaśilā Bhasmas. Additionally, one case of Abhighātajanya Pakṣāghāta managed with Pañcakarma and selected Rasaūṣadhis was analysed to demonstrate clinical application. Results: Classical texts describe these Bhasmas as Medhya, Balya, Rasāyana, and Vāta-hara. Analytical studies indicate nano/submicron particle size, formation of organometallic complexes, and incorporation of phytoconstituents from the Śodhana–Māraṇa processes. Preclinical data suggest antioxidant, adaptogenic, and neuroprotective potential in specific preparations, although findings are heterogeneous and preparation-dependent. The clinical case demonstrated improvement in motor power, mobility, and sensory function under integrative management. Discussion: While Ayurvedic literature provides a theoretical basis for using Bhasmas in Vātavyādhi including Pakṣāghāta, current scientific validation is insufficient to confirm clinical efficacy in hemiplegia. Improvement observed in the case likely reflects the combined influence of Pañcakarma procedures, physiotherapy, and natural neurological recovery. Rigorous pharmacological studies, standardised analytical characterisation, and controlled clinical trials are essential to subst…

Svarṇaprāśana: Mechanistic Perspectives from Traditional Ayurveda to Modern Nanomedicine
type: item
description: Introduction: Svarṇaprāśana, the administration of processed gold (Svarṇa Bhasma) with Ghṛta (clarified butter) and Madhu (honey) as a Lehaṇa (lickable electuary), is a classical pediatric intervention described in Kāśyapa Saṁhitā. Traditionally indicated to enhance intellect, digestion, strength, and longevity, it has recently gained scientific attention for potential immunomodulatory, nootropic, and anti-infective effects. Methods: This review synthesizes classical Āyurvedic literature, pharmaceutics, and contemporary experimental and clinical studies to explore the mode of action of Svarṇaprāśana. Emphasis was placed on physicochemical transformation of gold, bioavailability enhancement through lipid-sugar vehicles, and immunological mechanisms. Results: Evidence suggests that Amṛtīkaraṇa and allied Saṁskāras transform Svarṇa into biologically active nano- or microparticulate forms. The Ghṛta–Madhu vehicle enhances uptake and creates an amphipathic, liposomal-like delivery system. Preclinical and clinical data indicate immune benefits including macrophage activation, enhanced antigen presentation, and cytokine modulation, alongside potential cognitive and anti-infective effects. Discussion: Svarṇaprāśana represents a classical Āyurvedic intervention with translational relevance to modern nanomedicine. Standardization, safety, and rigorous clinical studies remain priorities to validate and optimize its therapeutic potential.

Neuroprotective Potential of C. pluricaulis in Stress Caused by Chronic Lower Back Pain
type: item
description: Introduction: Chronic Lower Back Pain (CLBP) is a common condition associated with psychological stress, which can exacerbate neuroinflammation and contribute to neurodegenerative changes. The herb Convolvulus pluricaulis (C. pluricaulis), or Śaṅkhapuṣpī, is known in Ayurvedic medicine for its cognitive-enhancing and neuroprotective properties. This review investigates the potential of C. pluricaulis to alleviate neurobiological disturbances linked to stress from CLBP. Materials and Methods: A review of literature from databases such as PubMed and Scopus was conducted to examine the phytochemical composition, biological effects, and experimental evidence regarding the neuroprotective role of C. pluricaulis. Studies focusing on oxidative stress, cytokine modulation, HPA axis regulation, and neurotrophic factor promotion were included. Results: C. pluricaulis contains compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids, which exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. Preclinical studies show it reduces oxidative stress and cytokine levels while modulating the HPA axis. Additionally, it enhances brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, supporting neuronal survival and plasticity. Discussion: The herb’s effects on oxidative stress, inflammation, and neuroendocrine balance suggest its potential in treating neurodegeneration caused by chronic pain. While clinical studies are limited, preclinical data indicate that C. pluricaulis may serve as an adjunct therapy for managing stress-induced neurobiological changes in CLBP. Conclusion: C. pluricaulis shows promise in mitigating the neurological effects of stress related to CLBP; however, further clinical studies are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.

Management of Mūtrāśmari Corresponding to Urolithiasis with Elādi Kwātha and Eranda Taila: A Case Report
type: item
description: Introduction: Aṣmari is described in Suśruta Saṃhitā as a disorder of the Mūtravāha srotas and is classified under Aṣṭamahāgāda. Urinary stone disease affects 3–5% of the global population, with rising prevalence due to metabolic disturbances and environmental factors. According to Chakradatta, oral Ayurvedic drugs with properties such as Chedana, Lekhana, Bhedana, and Mūtrala, like Elādi Kwātha, may aid in urinary stone management and should be considered before surgical interventions. Case Presentation: A 25-year-old female presented to the Outpatient Department of Shri Khudadad Dungaji Government Āyurved Hospital, Raipur (C.G.), on 10 January 2025, with burning micturition, right flank pain radiating to the groin, and orange-colored urine for two days. Urolithiasis was diagnosed, and surgery was advised. Intervention: The patient was treated with Elādi Kwātha and Eranda Taila for 90 days in three regimens. Clinical assessments were performed every 15 days, evaluating symptom relief and stone size. Outcome: After 90 days, significant reduction in pain, burning micturition, and stone size was observed, resulting in improved quality of life. Follow-up assessments indicated sustained symptom relief and no recurrence. Conclusion: The combination of Elādi Kwātha and Eranda Taila demonstrated potential as an effective conservative management for Mūtrāśmari corresponding to urolithiasis.

Ayurvedic Constitution-Based Oral Hygiene: Criteria for Choosing Plant-Based Dentifrices (Dānta-dhāvana)
type: item
description: Introduction: Āyurveda emphasizes maintaining health in a healthy individual before focusing on treating diseases. Central to this concept is Dinācārya, which encompasses daily practices that promote wellness. One of the significant practices in Dinācārya is Dānta dhāvana (tooth cleaning), aimed at preserving and promoting oral hygiene. This study explores the role of Prakṛti Siddhānta (Āyurvedic body constitution) in selecting medicinal plants for personalized oral hygiene, specifically for Dāntadhāvana, and assesses their effectiveness based on different Prakṛti types. Methods: A comprehensive review of literature, including classical texts like Bṛhattrayī and Laghutrayī, as well as online resources, was conducted to understand how Prakṛti Siddhānta influences the selection of medicinal plants for Dāntadhāvana. The study focuses on identifying herbs suitable for different Prakṛti types (Vāta, Pitta, Kapha) and evaluating their properties and benefits for oral health. Results: The review found that selecting herbal trees based on Prakṛti types offers tailored benefits for oral hygiene. For Kapha-dominant individuals, herbs such as Arka (Calotropis procera) and Karañja (Pongamia pinnata), known for their Kaṭu-Tikta properties, effectively reduce excess mucus and improve gum health. Pitta-dominant individuals benefit from herbs like Khadira (Acacia catechu) and Nimba (Azadirachta indica), with Tikta qualities, that soothe inflammation and enhance freshness. For Vāta-dominant individuals, herbs such as Madhūka (Glycyrrhiza glabra) and Dāḍima (Punica granatum), known for their hydrating properties, can help prevent tooth sensitivity and dry mouth. These findings emphasize the importance of customizing oral care based on Prakṛti for optimal results. Discussion: Integrating Prakṛti Siddhānta into Dāntadhāvana offers a personalized approach to oral hygiene, ensuring that individuals receive the full benefits of herbs suited to their unique constitution. The selection of p…

A Comprehensive Review of Ayurvedic Approaches to Treating Paripluta Yonivyapad: Insights and Clinical Evidence for Managing Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
type: item
description: Introduction: Paripluta Yonivyāpada, an Ayurvedic condition marked by painful menstruation, dyspareunia, and pelvic inflammation, parallels Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). Its pathogenesis involves Pitta and Vāta doṣa vitiation. This review evaluates Ayurvedic management approaches for Paripluta Yonivyāpada and their effectiveness in PID-like symptoms. Methods: A systematic review of four clinical studies from the National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur, was conducted. The studies assessed interventions such as Yoni Pīcu, Kṛṣṇādi Cūrṇa, Śatāpuṣpa Cūrṇa, and Punarnāvadi Guggulu. Data from postgraduate theses were analyzed for outcomes including pain relief, reduction in discharge, and improvement in fever and dyspareunia. Results: Ayurvedic treatments, especially Pañcavalkalādi Ghana Vati with Yoni Pīcu, demonstrated the best outcomes, showing 56–84% overall symptom improvement. Marked relief was noted in abdominal pain, dyspareunia, and fever, indicating clinical efficacy in PID-like conditions. Discussion: Ayurvedic therapies appear to be effective and may serve as adjuncts to modern care. Larger randomized trials are needed to strengthen evidence and assess long-term results.

Health Benefits Of Traditional Vessels in Cooking and Water Storage: An Ayurvedic Perspective
type: item
description: Introduction: Food plays a central role in human survival and health, with its nutritional quality shaped not only by ingredients but also by the utensils used for cooking and storage. Traditional systems, particularly Ayurveda, emphasized the use of metals and natural materials such as gold, silver, copper, iron, brass, and clay for their therapeutic properties. Classical texts like Suśrutasaṃhitā describe how these utensils influence digestion, immunity, and water purification. Methods: This review draws upon Ayurvedic literature and modern scientific studies to assess the impact of different cooking and storage vessels. Traditional materials were evaluated against commonly used modern alternatives, including aluminum, stainless steel, plastics, and synthetic alloys. Results: Findings indicate that traditional utensils provide measurable health benefits. Gold vessels were associated with improved immunity, silver with antimicrobial effects, copper with collagen production and water purification, and iron with enhanced iron intake. Clay utensils preserved natural flavors and nutrients during cooking. Modern utensils, while convenient, often leach harmful substances; plastics in particular release endocrine-disrupting and potentially carcinogenic compounds. Evidence suggests that nutrient enrichment and detoxifying effects observed with traditional vessels are validated by recent scientific research. Discussion/Conclusion: The evidence highlights the need to revive traditional practices of using natural and metallic utensils for cooking, storing, and serving food and water. This approach aligns with Ayurvedic principles and offers a sustainable, health-promoting alternative to synthetic materials, contributing to disease prevention and long-term wellness.

Aushadha Sevanakāla: Mapping Therapeutic Effects to Dosage Protocols mainly emphasizing to Śārṅgadhara Saṃhitā
type: item
description: Introduction: In Āyurveda, the therapeutic success of a medicine depends not only on its formulation and ingredients but also on the precise time of administration, known as Auṣadha-sevana-kāla. This concept reflects a holistic view where the timing of intake is aligned with doṣa predominance, digestive capacity (agni), disease state (vikṛti), and natural biological rhythms (dinacaryā and ṛtucaryā). Beyond these factors, Āyurveda gives distinctive importance to dosage form and the intended therapeutic action in deciding the ideal kāla. Methods: Classical Āyurvedic texts, authoritative commentaries, and contemporary interpretations were reviewed to compile references related to Auṣadha-sevana-kāla. Emphasis was placed on how different dosage forms—such as decoctions, powders, ghee preparations, and pills—are recommended at specific timings for curative, preventive, or rejuvenative purposes. Results: The review revealed that decoctions are best administered on an empty stomach for rapid absorption, whereas medicated ghee (ghṛta) is advised post-meal to ensure tissue nourishment and doṣa pacification. Purificatory formulations (śodhana preparations) are timed according to phases of doṣic activity to enhance elimination, while rasāyana (rejuvenative) preparations are optimally consumed at dawn to maximize restorative impact. Thus, kāla is directly linked with the pharmacodynamics of the formulation and its therapeutic intent. Discussion: Understanding the interplay of kāla, dosage form, and therapeutic goal highlights Āyurveda’s integrative and personalized approach. Incorporating these principles into practice can significantly enhance drug efficacy and patient outcomes, offering valuable insights even for contemporary health care.

Translational Value of Basic Principles of Ayurveda: A Review Article
type: item
description: Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, is founded on core principles such as Tridosha (the three bio-energies), Agni (digestive/metabolic fire), Dhatu (body tissues), Mala (waste products), Prakriti (individual constitution), and Panchamahabhuta (five elements). These concepts offer a holistic understanding of health and disease. Modern research increasingly finds correlations between Ayurvedic concepts and biomedical physiology – for example, the Tridosha of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha align with aspects of neurological function, metabolism, and structural integrity, respectively. Digestive fire (Agni) corresponds to enzymatic and microbial metabolism crucial for energy balance. The seven Dhatu(plasma, blood, muscle, fat, bone, marrow/nerve, and reproductive tissue) reflect sequential tissue nourishment and homeostasis. Integrating Ayurveda with modern medicine has shown promise in personalized and preventive care. For instance, Prakriti based stratification is supported by genetic and epigenetic studies: distinct Prakriti types exhibit differential gene expression, metabolic profiles, and DNA methylation patterns1. Figure 1 illustrates how Ayurvedic constitutional types cluster by genomic markers (genome-wide SNPs). Likewise, ayurgenomics combines traditional Prakriti assessment with omics data to guide individualized therapy. Ayurvedic practices – including tailored diets, herbal formulations, and detoxification (Panchakarma) – can enrich modern clinical protocols for chronic diseases, stress management, and public health. This review synthesizes classical principles and contemporary evidence, highlighting tables and figures that map Ayurvedic concepts to biomedical correlates (Table 1). Bridging these paradigms may foster integrative approaches and novel research, ultimately enhancing healthcare by marrying time-tested wisdom with scientific rigor 2.

Ayurveda and Nutrition: Integrating Ancient Āhara Concepts With Modern Dietetics
type: item
description: Introduction: Āyurveda, an ancient Indian medical system, emphasises individual constitution (prakṛti), digestive fire (agni), seasonal fluctuations (ṛtucaryā), and dietary incompatibility (viruddhāhāra) in its holistic approach to nutrition and health. As metabolic syndromes and lifestyle-related disorders become increasingly common, Āyurvedic dietetics provides a valuable foundation for personalized and preventive nutrition. This explores the six tastes (ṣaḍrasa), food energetics (vīrya), and post-digestive effects (vipāka), which are the core concepts of Āyurvedic nutrition. Their relevance to contemporary nutritional research is examined. Methods: By comparing modern nutritional theories with ancient Āyurvedic concepts, the study finds areas of convergence, such as gut health, chrononutrition, and mindful eating. Results: It then makes recommendations for integrative strategies that combine traditional wisdom with empirically validated techniques. By improving individual health, this combination also contributes to social and economic development. Conclusion: As a result, this study attempts to relate Āyurvedic āhāra to the modern diet.

Management of Prameha (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus) with Ayurveda Formulations as Adjuvant Therapy: A Case Report
type: item
description: Introduction: Prameha, described in Āyurveda as a tridoṣaja and medo-pradoṣaja disorder, shares close clinical correlation with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). It is characterized by polyuria or turbid urine (prabhūta/avila mūtra) and is associated with unhealthy dietary habits (apathya-sevana), sedentary lifestyle, and hereditary predisposition (sahaja hetu). Case Information: A 37-year-old woman with a 10-year history of T2DM was receiving conventional therapy comprising high-dose insulin (54 units/day) and oral hypoglycemic agents. Despite ongoing treatment, she had persistent polyuria (bahu-mūtratā), weakness (daurbalya), and burning sensation in the feet (pāda-dāha). Intervention: An integrative regimen comprising Paṭolakaturohiṇyādi kaṣāya tablets, Triphala guggulu, and Madhumeharī cūrṇa was prescribed alongside dietary and lifestyle modifications, while conventional therapy was continued initially and tapered gradually. Results: Over five months, HbA1c reduced from 8.5% to 6.1%, fasting blood glucose normalized, symptoms resolved, and insulin was discontinued. Oral hypoglycemic doses were also reduced. Conclusion: This case demonstrates the potential of Āyurvedic formulations as adjuvant therapy in the integrative management of T2DM, enabling reduction of pharmacological dependence and improvement in quality of life.

Nidra as Bhūtadhātrī: An Integrative Analytical Study of Ayurvedic, Yogic, and Neuroscientific Perspectives
type: item
description: Background: Nidra (sleep) is described in Ayurveda as one of the Trayopastambha (three pillars of life), alongside Ahara (diet) and Brahmacharya (regulated conduct) [1]. It is revered as Bhūtadhātrī (the sustainer of beings), essential for nourishment, strength, immunity, mental clarity, fertility, and longevity [2]. Classical texts emphasize that disturbances in Nidra lead to disease, premature aging, cognitive impairment, infertility, and even early death [3]. While modern science views sleep as a neurophysiological process vital for homeostasis, Ayurveda and Yoga provide a more holistic explanation, correlating Nidra with sensory withdrawal (pratyāhāra) and balance of Prāṇavāyu. Aim: This study aims to critically analyze the concept of Nidra in Ayurveda, its yogic correlates, and neuroscientific explanations, to develop an integrative framework of understanding. Methodology: A conceptual and analytical study was undertaken through textual review of Caraka Saṃhitā, Suśruta Saṃhitā, and Aṣṭāṅga Hṛdaya regarding Nidra. Yogic literature, including Patañjali Yoga Sūtra, was reviewed for correlations with pratyāhāra and prāṇāyāma. Contemporary literature on sleep physiology and neuroscience was analyzed to identify parallels with Ayurvedic and Yogic descriptions. Results: Ayurveda describes Nidra as arising when the fatigued mind and senses withdraw from their objects [4]. Its benefits, types, causes of derangement, and regulation of day and night sleep are elaborated in classical texts [5]. Yoga conceptualizes Nidra as involuntary pratyāhāra, while practices like prāṇāyāma consciously facilitate this process. Neuroscience validates these mechanisms through studies on sensory gating, cortical deactivation, and vagal tone modulation. Conclusion: Nidra is not merely passive rest but an active restorative process, sustaining both body and mind. Bridging Ayurveda, Yoga, and neuroscience offers a holistic framework for understanding sleep and provides therapeutic insights f…

Analytical Study of Ayurnutrigenomics and Its Therapeutic Effects with Co-Relation to Ancient Culinary Sciences (Soopaśāstra)
type: item
description: Introduction: Ayurnutrigenomics is an emerging interdisciplinary field that integrates the principles of Ayurveda with modern nutrigenomics to understand how food influences health at the molecular and genomic level. Ancient culinary sciences such as Soopaśāstra provide detailed insights into dietetics, recipes, and therapeutic food preparations tailored to individual prakṛti. This study aims to analyze the therapeutic effects of Ayurvedic dietetics through the lens of modern nutrigenomics, with special reference to Soopaśāstra. Methods: A comprehensive analytical review was undertaken using Ayurvedic classical texts (Caraka Saṃhitā, Aṣṭāṅga Hṛdaya, and other commentaries) and contemporary scientific literature on nutrigenomics. Selected food formulations and recipes from Soopaśāstra were evaluated for their nutritional profile, pharmacological actions, and potential influence on gene expression according to concept of Ayurgenomics and chronic disease prevention. Correlation was drawn between prakṛti-based dietary recommendations in Ayurveda and genetic individuality emphasized in modern nutrigenomics. Results: Preliminary analysis suggests that traditional recipes incorporating herbs and spices such as turmeric, cumin, ginger, and licorice demonstrate immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties that align with modern findings on gene regulation and disease prevention. Dietary guidelines in Ayurveda, when interpreted through nutrigenomic perspectives, provide a personalized framework for disease prevention and health promotion. Discussion/Conclusion: This analytical study highlights that Soopaśāstra and ayurvedic texts not only serves as a classical dietary guide but also resonates with current nutrigenomic principles. The integration of Ayurnutrigenomics with culinary sciences offers a scientifically grounded approach for personalized nutrition and therapeutic dietary planning, bridging ancient wisdom with modern molecular insights.

Integrated Ayurvedic Approach in the Management of Vicharchika (Eczema): A Case Study
type: item
description: Introduction Vicharchika (eczema), categorized under Kshudra Kustha (minor skin disorders) in Ayurveda, is a chronic skin condition often associated with genetic predisposition and improper lifestyle. Modern treatments may offer temporary relief and are often associated with side effects. Ayurveda offers a holistic treatment through Trividha Chikitsa—Yuktivyapashraya (rational therapy), Sattvavajaya (psychological therapy), and Daivavyapashraya (spiritual therapy)—for comprehensive care. This case study illustrates an integrative Ayurvedic approach in managing Vicharchika. Methods A 33-year-old female presented with blackish-white lesions, itching, and burning sensations on both feet for one year, with a family history of psoriasis and vitiligo. Based on classical symptoms, it was diagnosed as Vicharchika Kustha. Treatment began with Shamana (palliative) and Shodhana (purificatory) therapies, including Triphala Kwatha Avagaha, Brihat Dantaphala Taila, and Nimba Patra Parisheka. Detox procedures involved Virechana and Raktamokshana, followed by Yoga Basti using Guggulu Tiktaka Ghrita and Manjisthadi Ksheera. The treatment was complemented by Sattvavajaya and Daivavyapashraya therapies. Results There was marked reduction in itching, discoloration, and burning sensation. Skin texture improved, lesion size reduced, and the patient reported better psychological well-being. No adverse effects were noted. Conclusion The case demonstrates the efficacy of Trividha Chikitsa in managing chronic skin conditions like Vicharchika. Integrating purification, palliation, and mental-spiritual interventions ensured sustained relief and enhanced quality of life.

Mapping the Etiology of Pitta Gulma through Guna Siddhanta: A Conceptual Insight
type: item
description: Introduction: Guna Siddhanta is a core concept in Ayurveda that explains the pathogenesis of diseases by analyzing the properties (Gunas) of Doshas and Dushyas. Understanding the etiology of Pitta Gulma requires a detailed exploration of this concept, especially in terms of how it applies to the stages of disease development, from causative factors to full manifestation. Methods: This conceptual paper utilizes Guna Siddhanta to map the pathophysiology of Pitta Gulma. The process begins with the underlying condition of Vriddha Vata in Mahasrotas, often resulting from conditions like Jwara, Atisaara, Vamana, or Virechana. The intake of Pitta-aggravating foods (Pittakara Nidanas) triggers an imbalance, leading to a Prakupita (aggravated) Pitta. This Pitta, together with the already vitiated Vata, moves to the Amashaya, causing various clinical manifestations. Results: The manifestation of Pitta Gulma can be explained through Guna Siddhanta and Vikara Vighata Bhava, which clarifies the interaction between Nidana Vishesha, Dosha Vishesha, and Dushya Vishesha. Symptoms like specific pain (Dhupana, Dhuyana) in the Kantha and Ura regions, along with skin discoloration (Harita Haridra Varna), are observed. These clinical signs reflect the impact of aggravated Pitta and Vata in the body. Discussion: The paper highlights the application of Guna Siddhanta in understanding the causal factors and interactions responsible for Pitta Gulma. The framework of Vikara Vighata Bhava helps delineate the relationship between the causative factors and the resulting disease manifestation. Conclusion: This conceptual model provides an in-depth understanding of Pitta Gulma's etiology, offering new insights into Ayurvedic disease pathogenesis through Guna Siddhanta.

Healing PCOD With Ayurveda: Aahara And Vihara For Enduring Healthiness
type: item
description: Introduction: Women in modern society often juggle multiple roles, making it essential to maintain optimal health for achieving personal and professional goals. However, the pressures of modern lifestyles have led to an increase in health issues, particularly those affecting the female reproductive system. Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is one such prevalent condition, affecting women primarily in their 20s and 30s. Methods: This review explores the Ayurvedic perspective on PCOD, examining the similarities between PCOD symptoms and traditional Ayurvedic conditions like Yonivyapad (gynecological disorders) and Artavdushti (menstrual irregularities). It evaluates the holistic management of PCOD through lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, yoga, and meditation, in line with Ayurvedic principles. Results: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), PCOD affects 8-10% of women globally, with symptoms including irregular menstrual cycles, hirsutism, obesity, and enlarged ovaries with cysts. Studies show that weight loss of 5-10% can help restore regular menstrual cycles and improve ovulation. Incorporating a balanced diet with controlled calorie intake, reduced refined carbohydrates, and increased fiber is crucial for managing PCOD. Additionally, Pranayama and meditation have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, promoting better hormonal balance. Discussion: Ayurveda categorizes PCOD as a Doshaj Vyadhi, resulting from imbalances in the Doshas, Dhatus, and Upadhatus. By integrating Ayurvedic dietary practices, physical activities like yoga, and mental well-being techniques such as meditation, women with PCOD can improve metabolic and reproductive health, enhancing their overall quality of life.

Therapeutic Role of Bhramari Pranayama in Sleep Regulation: A Comprehensive Review
type: item
description: Introduction: Sleep disturbances are increasingly prevalent among young adults, particularly in the backdrop of rising screen exposure and social media addiction. Yogic interventions like Bhramari Pranayama have emerged as accessible, non-pharmacological tools for improving sleep quality. Methods: This review was conducted using published articles indexed in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science up to July 2025. Studies focusing on Bhramari Pranayama’s effects on the autonomic nervous system, psychological well-being, and sleep parameters were included. Results: Evidence suggests that Bhramari Pranayama promotes parasympathetic dominance, reduces sympathetic arousal, and improves markers of psychological health such as anxiety, stress, and depression. These effects collectively contribute to enhanced sleep initiation, continuity, and depth. EEG-based studies demonstrate a shift toward alpha brain waves and decreased cortical excitability post-practice. Discussion: Bhramari Pranayama’s mechanism lies in its auditory and vibratory stimulation of the vagus nerve, leading to a calm mental state. Its non-invasive, cost-effective nature makes it suitable for college populations experiencing digital fatigue. Conclusion: Bhramari Pranayama holds significant promise as an adjunct therapeutic tool in managing sleep disturbances, especially among youth with digital dependency. Further large-scale RCTs are warranted.

Randomized Control Clinical Trial to assess the combine effect of Bhringaraja Taila Shiroabhyanga and Yastimadhuka Taila Nasya in Khalitya of Females
type: item
description: Introduction: Khalitya (hair fall) is a prevalent concern among females, often impacting physical appearance and psychological well-being. Ayurveda attributes this condition to the vitiation of Pitta and Vata doshas, affecting hair follicles. This study was conducted to assess the synergistic effect of Bhringaraja Taila Shiroabhyanga and Yastimadhuka Taila Nasya in the management of Khalitya. Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 104 female patients diagnosed with Khalitya. Participants were randomly allocated into two groups: Group A (52 patients) received both Bhringaraja Taila Shiroabhyanga and Yastimadhuka Taila Nasya, while Group B (52 patients) received only Yastimadhuka Taila Nasya. The intervention lasted for 21 days, followed by a one-month observation period. Clinical parameters such as hair density, hair fall count, scalp visibility, and associated symptoms were assessed at baseline, post-treatment, and during follow-up. Statistical analysis was performed using paired and unpaired t-tests. Results: Group A showed statistically significant improvement in hair density, reduction in hair fall, and decreased scalp visibility compared to Group B (p < 0.05). Symptom relief was notably higher in the combined therapy group, with sustained benefits during follow-up. No adverse effects were reported in either group. Discussion: The combined therapy of Bhringaraja Taila Shiroabhyanga and Yastimadhuka Taila Nasya proved more effective than Nasya alone. This supports the Ayurvedic principle of combined external and internal application for better therapeutic outcomes in Khalitya.

type: item
description: Introduction: Yoga, a practice that originates from ancient India, is deeply rooted in the tradition of Akhand Bharat and has evolved into various schools of thought and practice. Ashtanga Yoga, as advocated by Maharishi Patanjali, is one such system, where the third limb is Asana. Among these asanas, Paschimottanasana is frequently discussed in classical texts such as the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Gheranda Samhita, and Shiva Samhita. Methods: This review paper aims to provide an in-depth analysis of Paschimottanasana, including its health benefits, procedure, anatomical actions, and its overall effects on the body. Additionally, the review also emphasizes the safety measures associated with the practice of this asana. Results: Paschimottanasana, also known as the ‘intense forward fold,’ is a fundamental yoga pose that offers a variety of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits. Regular practice of this asana enhances blood circulation, particularly in the head, spine, and abdominal regions. It promotes flexibility, relieves stress and anxiety, and improves digestive fire. Furthermore, the asana offers both preventive and curative effects on various health conditions. Discussion: By practicing Paschimottanasana, individuals can experience significant health improvements, including enhanced flexibility, improved digestive function, stress reduction, and a sense of mental clarity.

A Comprehensive Review on Dermatophytosis With Special Reference to Dadru
type: item
description: Introduction: Dermatophytosis is a globally prevalent superficial fungal infection involving keratinized tissues, primarily caused by dermatophytes such as Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton. Tinea corporis and tinea cruris are among the most common clinical variants, closely resembling the Ayurvedic condition Dadru Kushtha, marked by circular, pruritic, erythematous lesions with recurrent tendencies. The increasing incidence, therapeutic resistance, and chronicity observed in clinical settings demand a comprehensive understanding through both biomedical and traditional perspectives. This study is aimed to review the clinicopathological features and therapeutic approaches of dermatophytosis with special reference to its correlation with Dadru in Ayurvedic literature. Methods: A narrative synthesis was conducted using contemporary dermatological literature and classical Ayurvedic texts, focusing on clinical-pathological parallels. Discussion: Dermatophytosis affects approximately 20-25% of the global population, with heightened prevalence in tropical regions like India. The condition typically presents with annular plaques, raised inflammatory margins, central clearing, and pruritus. Pathogenesis involves enzymatic degradation of keratin and host immune activation. Conclusion: Management of dermatophytosis, especially Dadru like phenotypes, necessitates an integrative approach involving targeted antifungal therapy and individualized preventive strategies. Recognizing its clinical diversity and aligning therapeutic goals with both modern and traditional paradigms may enhance treatment outcomes.

Ayurvedic Understanding and Management of Tamaka Shwas: A Comprehensive Review
type: item
description: Introduction: Bronchial asthma is a prevalent chronic inflammatory disorder in children, marked by episodic bronchoconstriction, airway hyperresponsiveness, and mucus hypersecretion. It significantly impacts quality of life, school performance, and immunity. In Ayurveda, it closely correlates with Tamaka Shwasa, a subtype of Shwasa Roga, primarily involving Vata and Kapha Doshas. Understanding its Ayurvedic perspective may offer a holistic and individualized treatment approach, especially in paediatric care. Methods: A comprehensive literary review was conducted using classical Ayurvedic texts such as Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya, along with modern scientific literature from PubMed, AYUSH Research Portal, and Google Scholar. Emphasis was placed on identifying Ayurvedic etiopathogenesis, doshic involvement, and practical formulations relevant to paediatric management. Results: Ayurveda explains Tamaka Shwasa as a disease of chronic Vata-Kapha imbalance, aggravated by factors like impaired Agni, accumulation of Aam, obstruction in Pranavaha Srotas, and Rasa Dhatu Dushti. Immune compromise (Vyadhikshamatva) plays a central role in recurrence. Specific Ayurvedic formulations such as Gudadyavaleha, Vasa Avaleha, Kantakari Ghrita, and Swarna Prashana are highlighted for their bronchodilatory, Rasayana, and immunomodulatory actions. Discussion: This review bridges Ayurvedic and biomedical perspectives of paediatric bronchial asthma. Ayurvedic management focuses not only on symptomatic relief but also on long-term immune enhancement and recurrence prevention. An integrative approach may offer promising outcomes in paediatric asthma care, with emphasis on diet, lifestyle, and seasonal regimens.

Integrating Ayurveda in the Management of Celiac Disease: A Comprehensive Review
type: item
description: Introduction: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune condition triggered by the ingestion of gluten, resulting in inflammation and damage to the small intestine in genetically predisposed individuals. Ayurveda, an ancient holistic system of medicine, offers an integrative approach to managing CD. In India, the prevalence of CD varies across regions, with an estimated rate of 1.04% in northern India. While there is no direct mention of CD in Ayurvedic texts, the concept of Asatmyata (intolerance or incompatibility) can be correlated with the condition. Methods: Information was compiled from classical Ayurvedic texts, online pediatric journals, research papers, and databases such as Medline and PubMed. Relevant studies and Ayurvedic recommendations were reviewed to assess the management of celiac disease through Ayurvedic principles. Results: Ayurveda approaches CD management by focusing on Nidan Parivarjan (elimination of causative factors such as gluten), immune modulation, rejuvenation, correction of anemia, and Aam Pachana (detoxification). Key Ayurvedic remedies like Rasayana therapies, Triphala, Guduchi, and Shatavari have shown promise in restoring digestive health and improving immunity. Discussion: Ayurveda provides a personalized and comprehensive strategy for managing celiac disease by addressing its root causes, balancing the doshas, and promoting digestion. It offers a complementary approach to the conventional gluten-free diet. Conclusion: This paper highlights the holistic Ayurvedic management of celiac disease and underscores its potential in supporting conventional treatment for enhanced patient outcomes.

Yoga Nidra: Understanding Its Role in Stress Relief and Well-Being
type: item
description: Introduction: Yoga Nidra, a practice rooted in ancient Indian philosophy, is increasingly recognized for its potential in stress relief and overall well-being. While the practice is often associated with relaxation, its deeper impact on the mind and consciousness is less frequently explored. This review aims to examine the concept, benefits, and applications of Yoga Nidra, distinguishing fact from myth. Methods: This review consolidates information from classical Ayurvedic texts like the Yoga Sutra, Yoga Nidra by Swami Satyananda, and key Ayurvedic literatures such as Sushruta Samhita, Charaka Samhita, Ashtanga Hrdaya, and Ashtanga Sangraha. A critical analysis of published research articles and classical texts has been conducted to understand the physiological, psychological, and spiritual implications of Yoga Nidra. Results: Yoga Nidra is defined as a state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep, promoting relaxation through a methodical practice that induces mental and physical relaxation. Studies indicate that Yoga Nidra helps in reducing stress, managing psychosomatic disorders, and enhancing self-awareness. The practice aligns with Ayurvedic principles of mental and physical balance, emphasizing the importance of Pratyahara in achieving a deeper state of consciousness. Discussion: While Yoga Nidra is often misunderstood, it offers significant therapeutic potential when practiced correctly. It is a versatile tool for managing stress, anxiety, and emotional well-being. However, its benefits depend on individual experiences and life circumstances, and it cannot be generalized as a one-size-fits-all treatment. Further research is necessary to validate its effectiveness in treating various ailments. Keywords: Yoga Nidra, Stress Relief, Consciousness, Ayurveda, Relaxation, Pratyahara
