001. THE EFFECTS OF VAYAHSTHAPANA MAHAKASHAYA AN AYURVEDIC IMMUNO-
REJUVENATOR IN MIDDLE-OLD AGE (I.E. 40-70)

Those who got birth must be die as per natures’ law. But the theory of natural destruction
would be played an important role to maintain the healthy peaceful long life by way of
understanding proper ethical and philosophical knowledge. The individual is regular in
maintaining of physic, regular in psychiatry status and strongest in sense organs should not be
effected by any internal and external organism (Cha.su.21/18). The factor are responsible to
play the role to make balance of body elements must be responsible to make imbalance of body
elements. It is the eternal law of the theory of natural destruction as said by Cha. at sutra 16/27.
The modern researchers are also believed in four major principles for aging theory.
Those are: 1. Wear and tear theory of Aging, 2.Genetic theory of Aging, 3.Stress theory of
Aging and 4. Autoimmune theory of Aging. This thinking is supportive to autoimmune theory by
comparative study to vayastapana theory. The topics that show the Immuno-Rejuvenator effect
in the human body by way of using Vayasthapan Mahakashaya to restrict the destruction of
body elements in middle-old age i.e. 40-70 years when the major natural destruction starts.
After the use of vayasthapana mahakashaya (cha.su.4/50) an individual gets – Energy, Power,
Strength and Steady life. If the preventive majors are started in time in healthy individual’s
life the natural destruction should be really restrict and will restores all above four factors. The
basic majors are: Prevention is better than cure, To maintain age by proper routine life, To
maintain age by proper balanced diet, To use proper medication as needed with understand-
ing, to prevent ourselves from internal and external prophylactic causative factors and To establish
satisfactory physical psychological routine life. (Cha.sha.2/46) Natural constructive and
destructive majors are deeply found out in the subject mentioned above will be established in
an Ayurvedic Immuno-Rejuvenator effect in human body during their middle-old age in our
study.

002. LIFE STYLE MANAGEMENT AND DRUG THERAPY TO ATTAIN MENTAL HEALTH
THROUGH AYURVEDA IN MODEM WORLD
Prof. Y.K.Sharma, Prof & Head P.G.Kayachikitsa, RGPG Ay. College Paprola, Himachal Pradesh

Ayurveda intends to act with human body at two levels i.e. to retain, maintain and cor-
rect physical and mental status of individuals. Like “Soma” (Physical constitution), “Psyche”
(Mental constitution) too is considered as a component of human life related activities. Mind or
“mana” is also a seat of disorders like the body. While Ahara (Food), Dincharya (Daily routine),
Ritucharya (Seasonal routines) practices are considered primarily essential for retaining a nor-
mal body physiology; the practices like “Sadvritta”(Moral conduct), Achara Rasayana (Social
conduct) and practices like “Devavyapashraya” (Faith in and practices of Spirituality) have
essential effect to maintain healthy psychology. Not only this, considerable treasure of drugs to
fight sleep related disorders, stress, depression, neurasthenia, memory related disorders, psy-
chosexual disorders, premature retardation of mental faculties etc is available in Ayurveda to
be of effective use of modem society.
The utility of Ayurvedic practices, drugs is further boosted when they are applied in
combination with Yogic practices. Modem life style has thrown to jeopardy common code of life
style, which was doctrined in past by social, cultural, ethnic, dietetic and traditional practices.
Today it is not surprising to note that no two persons have resemblance in their life style. Rural
urban divide, family and professional divide, class of have and have nots’, competitions at all

stages of existence, race of materialism, so called western food and culture etc have thrown up
new challenges in attainment of mental health. This if not met with a very rational approach will
open a floodgate of mental sicknesses also. Life style advises of Ayurveda and rational use of
select drugs of Ayurveda will have a definite role to contain present trends and challenges to
mental health.

003. ROLE OF PRANAYAMA IN PRATISHYAYA (ALLERGIC RHINITIS)

Shri.Hiremath, Principal Basava yoga Kendra Gadag

Allergic disorders are most prevalent causes among the ailments causing pain to society.
Among those Pratishyaya is one of the prevalent problem affecting in all ages, with repeated
episodes. It is a Nasagata vyadhi. It occurs due to Ritu viparyaya, Mithya Ahara vihara, etc and
Samsargaja in nature. It spreads by the contact of infected saliva or nasal secretions.
Pathologically, nasal mucosa is inflamed by either bacterial or viral infection. Recurrent
attacks and the incomplete treatment make the disease chronic and resistance to the therapy.
So, the patient looses immunity and become vulnerable for infectious diseases and also systemic
complications. Medical science though developed a lot the recurrence of the disease is still a
problem. Hence, there is a need of simple, economic procedure to treat this ailment.
Acharyas mentioned number of therapies and medicaments to combat the ailment like
Kavala, Gandusha, Dhoomapana, Ghritapana, Virechana, etc. The practice of Pranyama is
not directly specified in the classics, but it plays an immense role in its management. To assess
this, a clinical trial was conducted on 20 patients with practice of Pranayama in Pratishyaya at
D.G.M. Ayurvedic Medical College Gadag. The results were assessed in pre and post treatment
designed proforma. The detail description of the study, related data will be presented in full
paper.

004. STANDARDIZATION OF “VASAKASAVASA”: A PHARMACEUTICAL STUDY
Dr.Avinash.M.Pastore, 2nd year P.G.Scholar, Dr.Dinesh Kumar Mishra. M.D.(Ayu), H.O.D,
Dr.Harikrishna.M.D.(Ayu), Lecturer, Dept. of Bhaishajya Kalpana, A.L.N.Rao Memorial Ayurvedic
Medical College, Koppa, Chikmagalor Dist. 577126

Our ancient medicinal system, Ayurveda explains treating of diseases with natural re-
sources like herbs. The form in which the herbs are administered to a patient is called as
‘dosage form’. Every one cannot be given with a particular dosage form because it may pro-
duce complications like tastelessness, vomiting etc., (Cha. Su.4/7) Among these dosage forms,
the one which has longer shelf life has advantage over others. Asava Kalpana is one such
dosage form whose quality increases with time (Sharangadhara Sam.Prathama Khanda 1/56).
Due to globalization of Ayurveda, the demand for Ayurvedic preparations is much more in-
creased. So standardization has become an important aspect to maintain universal similarity
especially in relation with Ayurvedic dosage forms. Today commercialization of Ayurvedic phar-
macy has made it necessary to standardize pharmaceutical procedure of any dosage form.
The advent of modern technologies has made the process of standardization more sophisti-
cated. PH value, Ash value, Alcohol content, etc are the parameters, which are used as tools of
standardization of any dosage form. So a pharmaceutical study of Vasakasava (Yoga Ratnakara
Uttarardha, Shotha Chikitsa) is conducted with special reference to its standardization by means
of the above-mentioned criteria.

005. ROLE OF AGNIKARMA IN GARBHASHAYA GRIVAMUKHAGATA VRANA (CERVICAL
EROSION)
Dr. Rashmi R. Sharma, Final Year M.S. Scholar, Dr. M. A. Pandya, H.O.D. Department of
Strlroga and Prasutitantra, I.P.G.T. & R.A., Jamnagar

Gender differences play a role in manifestation of disease and health outcomes. Women
often delay self-care as they attend to the care of their family and children. Delineating between
the commonality of being a woman and the difference or uniqueness of health issue of the
individual women is key for physicians.
In present era, most of the women are working women and due to change in life style,
food habit, workload, she faces lots of stress and strain owing to complicated structure of the
female body women are subject to a large number of complains connected with genital organs.
In females common gynecological complains include cervical erosion, Menstrual disorders,
PID, PCOD, leucorrhoea. In day to day practice, about 60-70% women suffering from cervical
erosion. Main symptoms of cervical erosion are discharge PN, itching vulva, burning vulva,
backache etc.
Vrana, which is situated on Griva of Garbhashaya, is known as “Garbhashaya
Grivamukhagata Vrana”. Acharya Sushruta in Sutra Sthana mentioned Agnikarma in the
treatment of Vrana (Su.Su. 2/10). Agnikarma is considered as best among Aushdh, Shastra
and Kshara (Su. Su.12/3).

006. DESIGNING AND METHODOLOGY OF CLINICAL RESEARCH IN AYURVEDA
Dr. T.SIRISHA, M.D. I yr, Dr.B.R.K.R. GOVT.AYURVEDIC COLLEGE, HYDERABAD, A.P.

Research, an art of scientific investigation aim in searching new facts, understanding
them and ultimately establishing them as concept/ siddhanta. Methodology of clinical research
in Ayurveda is unique and requires the knowledge of contemporary sciences too. Defining the
research problem using aptavachana, Defining the aim & objective of the study, Review of
literature: aim in finding rationality in selection of particular drug in a disease, Selection of
drug: drug is selected based on its gunatmak & karmatmak vivechana, Stating the hypothesis:
using pramana, Parameters: 5 hetu lakshanas form the base for selecting the parameters,
Designing the investigation for studying the problem basing on pancha avayava vakyas, their
significance and defining the population under study using desa, bala, etc are important to
discuss at this juncture.

007. SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF HERBO MINERAL DRUGS IN PEDIATRICS
Dr. Janardhana. V. Hebbar, 2nd year P.G.Scholar, Dr. Dinesh Kumar Mishra.M.D.(Ayu), H.O.D.,
Dr.Harikrishna, Lecturer, Dept. of B.K. A.L.N. Rao. Memorial Ayurvedic College, Koppa,
Chikmagalor Dist, Karnataka

Safety and efficacy of herbo mineral drugs are of great cause of concern now a days.
From ancient time itself herbo mineral preparations had been the major weapon against many
ailments, as mentioned by Ayurvedic scholars. But a myth is spreading in the society regarding
their toxicity and adverse effects. Hence practitioners are restricting the utility of these herbo
mineral products at various stages. One such category is pediatrics. Various herbo mineral
products were used in pediatrics by ancient ayurvedic scholars such as Jahar mohara
Bhasma1,Balarka Rasa2, Dantodbheda Gadantaka Rasa3, Kumara Kalyana Rasa4, Rasa pipari
Rasa,etc5.



A detailed study of mode of action of each ingredient will enable to theoretically prove
the efficacy of these preparations in pediatric care. The only care needed to be taken in their
usage is in purification, adoption of proper methodology in drug preparation and usage of
drugs with specific anupana & pathya apathya, considering the conditions of the patient and
the disease.

Rising demand of mercurial preparations in the therapeutic field, which is quality sensitive
and competitive, the need to further improve the standards, usage of Ayurvedic drugs is made
mandatory by every scholar of Ayurveda. In endeavor to improve the quality of Kupipakata
rasa, the stumbling block is lack of standardized Agni mapana and duration to attain an qualitative
product. By standardization on expects to inculcate uniformity in quality and there by therapeutic
effect of the same. It properly prepared kupipakwa rasa attains the sukshmatva, yogavahita,
Vyavayer and vikasi qualities with proper concentration on the sublimation procedures. A
standardized study of pharmaceutical procedure will be useful in exploring the hidden potentiated
qualities of yoga.The importance of rasasastra which deals with rasausadhies can be marked
by the quotation described in rasendra sara samgnaha (1/4) which indicates that rasausadhies
are effective in smaller doses, having agreeable taste, quick action and need shorter duration
of administration.Rasa puspa, a Nirgandha kupipakwa rasayana, one among the most
extensively used drug in Phiranga roga, which contains Hingulotha parade, Suddha kasisa
and Saindhava lavana in equal proportion. A pharmaceutical study was conducted to evaluate
the gradation of temperature, fuel duration of paka.

009. CONCEPT OF HEENA SATTVA AND ITS ROLE IN MENTAL ILLNESS
Dr. K. Ravindra Bhat, Final Year MD, Manovigyan avum Manasaroga, Dept. of Kayachikitsa,
V.P.S.V. Ayurveda College,Kottakkal. (Kerala state)

At a given point of time the mental health of an individual is considered as a state of
successful performance of mental functions, resulting in productive activities, fulfilling
relationships, attaining the ability of adapting to the change and coping with adversity.
Each individual is having his own range of such personality characters, vision and ability
of reacting to the external world. In modern Psychology it is termed as ‘Temperament’. Ayurveda
gives much emphasis to the temperamental factors in maintenance of health and production
of disease. Mental capabilities are - Pravara sattva, Madhyama sattva and Heena satva (Avara
sattva / Alpa sattva) Persons having strong mental capabilities with features of sattva Sara
come under ‘Pravara Satva’ and with moderate capabilities under Madhyama sattva. Heena
Sattva (Alpa Satva) indicates a low level of higher mental qualities (Sattva) and relatively a
higher level of Raja and Tama (Doshas of Manas).
So the individuals of this category will be having low mental capabilities, coping skills in
frustration, threat; stressful situations, less control on impulses like - Shoka, Bhaya Krodha,
Lobha etc.


It is considered as a basic defect behind the causation of mental illnesses like Unmada.
There are many important areas related to the concept of Heena Satva & its role in mental
illness like - Psychological considerations, factors influencing its causation, its role in
psychopathology of mental illnesses and methods of interventions.

010. PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF DREAMS - AN AYURVEDIC AND MODERN APPROACH
Dr.M.Srikanth, M.D. Final Manasaroga, V.P.S. V Ayurveda College, Kottakkal, Prof Dr.M.P. Eswara
Sharma M.D. (Ay), V P.S. V.A. V. C, Kottakkal

Awareness of sensations, thoughts and feelings experienced at a given moment is
called consciousness. Dreams come under altered state of consciousness. Ayurveda considers
Dream as a state, where sense organs get exhausted and keep themselves away from their
respective objects, but the mind continues to experience its perceptions. Generally dreams
occur in natiprasupta stage [A meeting point between sleep and waking stage], which has
similarities with stage I sleep. According to Charaka, all the three doshas in their exceedingly
aggravated state fill the manovahasrotamsi and cause terrible dreams in omnious situations.
Eg. Nightmares [frightened dreams]. In natural sleep, both indriyas and mind are active. In
dreaming sleep, indriyas are inactive but mind is active. In natural sleep the srotas are fully
covered with tamas; where as in dreaming sleep rajo dosha is active. The types of dreams,
which were described by Charaka, will be very well explained by analyzing these most modern
recent research theories. The most recent research findings regarding the psychological
concepts of dreams have more similarities with the concept of dreams, which were described in
Ayurveda.

011. INCORPORATION OF DRUG STANDARDIZATION TECHNIQUES: NEED &
SIGNIFICANCE IN THE FIELD OF AVURVEDA
Dr. Sandeep Vishnu Binorkar, M.D. Scholar, Dept. of Agadatantra avum Vidhi Vaidyaka,
V.P.S.V. Ayurveda College, Kottakkal – 676501, Kerala State,

Strong craving of man for health and to overcome several diseases is persisting from
time immemorial. To tackle these entity diseases, Ayurveda has explained exhaustive list of
medicines, which contains both, herbal as well as mineral substances. Classical texts of
Rasashastra, which deals with the properties and the usages of such herbo-mineral preparations,
have given equal emphasis on the safety and efficacy of these preparations. It also explains
specific purificatory methods for raw drugs as well as certain confirmatory tests for finished
products, to rule out any sort of untoward effect.Even though after following all the possible
measures, incidences of toxicity due to Ayurvedic medicines are being heard frequently. Causes
may vary from identification of raw drugs to the adulteration.To avoid this catastrophe,
incorporation of modern techniques such as Thin layer chromatography (TLC), High pressure
liquid chromatography (HPLC), High performance liquid chromatography, for identification and
standardization of the raw drugs and application of infrared spectrophotometry (IR), Nuclear
magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR), Atomic or Flame spectrophotometry, Electron spin
resonance spectrometry (ESR), X-ray diffraction etc in finished products is the prime need of
this era. Evaluation of ED50 and LD50 in case of preparations, which contains poisonous
substances, is another important field for the standardization of Ayurvedic drugs. Other
parameters include Ph value, ash value and quantitative estimation of metals in the compound
drugs. Ayurveda is growing rapidly in stature, professionalism and acceptance. Proper use of
modern techniques in Ayurveda is certainly going to help in achieving its prime aim, i.e. Health
for all, and to emerge out hazards free medicines for the benefit of mankind!

012. CURRENT PROSPECTIVE OF DOOSHI VISHA AND GARA VISHA
Dr. Mahesh P. Savalagimath, M.D. Scholar, Dept. of Agadatantra avum Vidhi Vaidyaka,
V.P.S.V. Ayurveda College, Kottakkal – 676501, Kerala State, mybhoomi12@rediffmail.com

Agadatantra - being explained as a clinical branch of Ayurveda, considered as non-
clinical. It also deals with late effects of Visha, not only acute. By understanding the concepts
of Dooshi Visha and Gara vislia, more justice can be given to the suffers of today’s world.
Dooshi Visha - induced or naturally low potent poison stays for several years in the body with
out our knowledge and can cause simple Thrishna to sever Dooshyodara. Gara visha - any
artificial poison - potent and in sufficient quantity kills. Low potent and little in quantity can
cause long-standing diseases. Today we are exposed to may poisons of various nature, potency
and in various ways. The environment is highly polluted; the crops are grown with the use of
various fertilizers and pesticides. We also exposed to many types of insects. In houses too,
poison surrounds us in many forms. Whether they enter our body? Yes, but without our
knowledge. Then why we don’t consider and treat accordingly? Why today’s world is worried
about pollution, adulteration, use of pesticides etc? - Because they are poisonous. The Visha
is nothing but anything, which brings Vishada. Aaturabhoomi pariksha is explained very nicely
by Charaka achaarva, to understand the effect of Desha on patient. This can be used to rule
out possible poisons in our daily life. Agadatantra promises a better future for treating today’s
diseases, if understood and implanted properly.

013. CLINICAL RESEARCHAND PROTOCOL DESIGN
Dr. Narayan Bavalatti, I -M.S, Dr.Manjusha R, H.O.D., Deptt. Of Shalya- Shalakya, I.P.G.T. &
R.A., Jamnagar

During the last fifty years, medical knowledge has advanced more rapidly than at any
other period in its history. New understandings, new methods of treatment, new diagnostic
procedures and new methods of prevention etc. are being introduced at an ever-increasing
rate. Clinical research is very fruitful because it tells us how precisely the drug acts and brings
about the effects. It also tells us what could be the possible antidote or the measures to counter
the effect due to the excess dosage.The success of clinical study depends on the detailed
planning. Protocol is a document that describes the background and rationale, the objectives,
design, methodology, statistical considerations and organization of a trial. The protocol is a
bridge between idea and execution. It is the essential document for obtaining regulatory and
ethical approval and for obtaining funding. It also provides the framework for preparing a
publication. The protocol is the most vital document for the success of a clinical trial.

014. ATHYAYIKA CHIKITSA IN AYURVEDA
Dr. Sankanagoud Patil, Dr. Srinidhi Acharya, Dr. Narayan Prakash, SDM College of Ayurveda, Hassan.

About 20% of patient attending IPD and OPD’s requires emergency medicine and
worldwide incidence is also significant. As in all systemic disorders, once the failure of
conservative treatment in all systematic disorders leads to fatal complications requiring
emergency medicine. Rightly due to sophisticated emergency set up mortality and morbidity
rates are decreasing world wise.
With the intension of maintaining of healthy status Ayurveda preferring to avoid
emergencies. But it describes certain diseases and medicines wherever required. Certain
medicines and procedures which cause sedation, reduces raise of temperature, prevent sudden


blood loss, maintaining of fluid balance etc, are mentioned in the classics. This shows the
knowledge of ancient Ayurvedic scholars like Charaka, Sushrutha, Vagbhata etc, in this regard.
Chaines medicine has acquired greater importance by using extracts of Ayurvedic drugs in
emergency practice like Kola, Duralabha etc. Certain metallic preparations, Jayapala, Lashuna
etc, drugs in different diseases are explained. The treatment of apasmara, mada, murcha,
Sanyasa etc, are described and principles adopted also holds good in present day also.
Charaka, sushruta, Vagbhata and Bhaishajya ratnavali explains may emergency medicines for
jwara, raktapitta, atisara and moorcha like conditions. Explanations of Matangavidhya should
be also considered. Emergency medicine, which is practiced in this modern era, is almost
similar to the things described in our classic thousand of years ago. This paper explains about
certain indigenous drugs mentioned in our classics, which are usefull in emergency conditions
with their mode of action, utility in treating the patient.

015. MANAGEMENT OF TUNDIKERI WITH LOKANATH RASA
Dr. Arunkumar B. Biradar, 1st Yr. P.G., Dr. Dingari Lakshmana Chary. M.D. (Ayu), Ph. D. Professor P.G.,
Dr. Shamsa Fiaz. M.D. (Ayu), (Ph. D.) Asst. Prof. & H.O.D. P.G. Dept., Dr. Ashwini Dhanpal. M.D. (Ayu).
Lecturer. P.G. Department of Shalakyatantra, S.D.M.C.A. & H., Hassan.

Tundikeri is a prevalent problem affecting in all ages, with repeated episodes. It is a
Talugata vyadhi of Mukharoga. It occurs due to Ritu viparyaya, Mithya Ahara vihara, etc and
Samsargaja in nature. It spread by the contact of infected saliva or nasal secretions.
Pathologically, lymph glands located at posterior part of throat get inflamed by either bacterial
or viral infection.
Medical science though developed a lot the recurrence of the disease is still a problem,
surgical extraction is not suitable for all. Hence, there is a need of simple parasurgical procedure
to treat this disease.Acharyas mentioned number of therapies and medicaments to combat the
ailment like Kavala, Gandusha, Pratisarana, Shastrakarma, etc. The practice of Kshara karma
is also specified in the classics. Acharya Sharangadhara explains an excellent remedy for
Rajayakshma in his Madhyama Khanda 12th chapter 83-85. But, in folk medicine this is being
used in the management of Tundikeri.

016. POSTMENOPASUAL OSTEOPOROSIS IS AN AGE RELATED PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGE
NOT A DISEASE AND AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVES
Dr. Basavaraj S Hadapad, Department of Ayurveda, K.M.C. Manipal, Karnataka, India - 576 104

Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease and it is characterized by
asymptomatic to severe pain from fractures because of decreased bone mass due to normal
age related changes (swabhavika) in bone remodeling (BR) as well as extrinsic and intrinsic
factors. BR is regulated by several factors including nutrition, physical activity and race, not
only the estrogens and calcium. The end result of bone remodeling process (BRP) is that
resorbed bone is replaced by an equal amount of new bone tissue. After the age of 30 to 45
the resorption and formation process become imbalanced and resorption exceeds formation,
which can be taken as increased catabolic Asthidhatwagni. The imbalanced BRP becomes
exaggerated in postmenopausal women causes osteoporosis but not in all estrogen deficient
postmenopausal women.Over the past few decades it is taught at medical schools that hormonal
and calcium deficiencies are the main causes. Because of this preaching, hormone replacement
therapy (HRT) has been used increasingly to prevent and cure PMO and chronic diseases by
the medical graduates at global level. But based on patho-physiology of PMO there are no

7


scientific convincing enough clinical evidences to use HRT and calcium. This view is supported
by recent conclusion of many clinical trials of HRT that is “do not use estrogen / progesterone
to prevent chronic diseases” including PMO, risks are higher than benefits; those are ovarian
& breast cancer, stroke, etc. As PMO is asymptomatic until fractures occur, for Ayurvedic
diagnosis of Asthisoushirya bone densitometry test is must. As PMO is because of age related
changes etc, curative approach by any system of health delivery may not be successful, but
can be prevented by Dinacharya, Rutucharya and Asthi pradoshaja Chikitsa including
samanaguna dravyas.

017. COUNSELING IN DEPRESSION
Dr.Diggavi Guru Prasanna, Dr. Madhav Diggavi, Dr. J.V.Murgesh, Dr. Srimukund Alur, Taranath
Govt. Ayurvedic Medical College, Bellary.

In Ayurveda Dhee Dhairya Aatmaadi Vignanam,Satvavajaya and Ashwashana are major
non-pharmacological counseling therapies similar to the contemporary systems. Clinically
“Depression is a feeling of Hopelessness which is a very common presentation in day to day
life of every individual. The sadness due to substantial cause is a normal expected phenomena
but if it is developed without substantial stimuli then that uncontrollable condition comes under
the purview of clinical psychologist, psychiatrist and counseling, depression is as common as
anxiety, anger etc hence its also categorized under mood disorders. According to Acharya
Chakrapani -The basic psychopathology of depression in general is due to dejection and
despair or due to not fulfilling of desires or unwanted fulfilling coming true (Anistasya Labha).
Clinically the depression has various explanations in Ayurveda under complex terminologies
contextually. Vishaada, Avasaada are major terminologies of Ayurveda denoting depression.
Inspite of advanced drug research in the management of Depression the equal importance of
counseling cannot be forgotten.
The general line of treatment adopted here in depression was counseling (Ashwashana)
where in the basic modification of the living style disorders correcting small problematic issues
was considerated with Satwawajaya (i.e., psycho behavioural therapy) included. Satwawajaya
means withdrawal of mind from unwholesome objects or it’s the treatment by self control. Acharya
charaka defines it as a mind controlling therapy in which stress has been applied on refraining
the mind from unwholesome things or objects which includes Manonigraha.
Prajnaparadha is the main cause for mental disorder including Anavasthita Cittatva
which is outcome of impairment of Dhee Dhrthi and Smrithi and the improvement of the Dhee
Dhrthi & Smrithi comes under Satawawajaya Chikitsa . Rajas & Tamas which are considered as
the Pathogenic factors of mind can be treated by divine (spiritual) and scriptural knowledge (
Jnana & Vignana), Patience memory and education (Ca, Su 1/58) and hence in the current
paper the role of counseling in Depression will be discussed.

Hepatitis B is one of the major problems worldwide. It results in approximately one
million deaths each year, making it the World’s Tenth leading cause of death. Chronic
asymptomatic carriers of HBV and its complications still do not have drugs, which can be
employed satisfactorily in the management of Hepatitis B in modern science. The cure of


disease is left to the mercy of nature and time. Ayurveda do possess effective antiviral and
Hepato protective herbs in pharmacopoeia.
In the present study, subjects suffering from HBV induced Jaundiced were selected
based upon inclusion and exclusion criteria and investigated. The entire subjects included in
the trial were advised for Nasya with Jimutaka phala swarasa. Later Shamanoushadhi the
formulation namely Vasaguduchyadi Kashaya Yoga was given with Guda as Anupana in divided
doses for course of 60 days. All the patients taken for the trial were relieved from symptom of
Jaundice at the end of therapy and HBsAg test by Hepacard method was found to be negative.
Patients were given Katuki Churna 5 grams daily for Amapachana. After appearance of Niram
Lakshana Jimutaka Nasya was given. After Samsarjan Karma, Vasaguduchyadi Kashaya 40 ml
bd on empty stomach was administered twice daily for 2 months. 3 months Follow-up with an
interval of 30 days.
Out of 15 HBsAg positive patients all patients were found HBsAg negative after treatment.
It shows 100% relief and it can be said that all the patients were cured. Patient received Jimutaka
Nasya responded very well. Minimal signs of irritation in nasal mucosa, throat congestion was
observed in few cases. The Nasya yoga in HBV induced Jaundice has a definite role on the bio-
chemical parameters, other objective parameters and symptomatology. Further it also improves
the liver function. It can be stated that Nasya Karma is effective in HBV Induced Jaundice. The
virus causing the HBV induced Jaundice may become inactive and driven away through the
nasal route.

019. RASRASARAKTAGATA SNEHA VRIDDHI VINISCHAYA (HYPERLIPIDEMIA) AND TO STUDY
THE EFFICACY OF CHARAKOKTA APATARPAN KWATH ON IT
Vd. MANOJ PARAMANANDA SAHOO, scholar, Vd. NARAYAN R. SABOO, Reader & HOD, Dept.of
Sanskrit Samhita, R.A.Podar Medical College, Worli , Mumbai -18.

Due to advent of technological advances in every field of life, the physical efforts required
to perform any kind of work have also remarkably reduced. Due to the reduced physical efforts
and improper food habits, many life style related diseases are rampant in the 21 st century.
Hyperlipidemia (RasRasaraktagata Sneha Vriddhi) is one of the life style related disease which
is now a days very common even in young age group as young as 25 yrs. old. Hyperlipidemia
predisposes to other major diseases which can be life threatening e.g. CVA, IHD, Peripheral
vascular disease (PVD). The symptoms which are found in RasRasaraktagata sneha Vriddhi
are quite comparable to that of Hyperlipidemia.
According to Ayurveda the above disease is a Santarpanajanya Vyadhi as mentioned
by Acharya Charaka in Cha. Su. 23rd. Hence in this study the drug Apatarpana kwatha described
by Charak(Cha. Su. 23rd.) is selected to observed the effect on Rasaraktagata snehavriddhi
(Hyperlipidemia). Hance Santarpanjanya Rasaraktagata Vikrita Sneha Vriddhi can be correlated
with hyperlipidaemia
We have Studied 30 Patients of hyperlipidaemia which were described as in our plane
of study - compairing the Pathological report of lipid profil before and after treatment as well as
some particular signs and symptoms as mentioned in Ayurvedic literatures.Due to the above
correlation Rasaraktagata Sneha Vriddhi must be compared with hyperlipidaemia of modern
seience

Ayurveda is not just a medicine
Ayurveda is a way of life


020. EFFECT OF VASA SWARASA ON RAKTAPRADRA A CLINICAL STUDY
Dr. S Sathua(M S) H.O.D, Dept.Prasuti & Streeroga, Shree Vijay Mahantesh
Ayurvedic Medical Collage, Ilkal

Raktapradara i.e. Abnormal uterine bleeding is the most common ailment that women
suffer. Blood is our life, loss of blood means loss of life. Women are innocent sufferers of
hemorrhage as every month they have to sacrifice some blood .Any hormonal imbalance,
tumour , abortion,delivery injury etc. cause , excess bleeding .
Modern treatment such as hormones, hemostyptic , surgicals are very costly. Our poor
Indian family cannot afford such amount for the treatment of this disease. Vasa (Adhatoda
vasica ) is an well known herb in Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia .Vagbhtta has described it as best
Rakta pittaghna . All the auther such as Charak, Sushruta, Vagbhatta advised to treat
Raktapradara like that of Adhoga Raktapitta. I got the significant result after using Vasa Swarasa
in the treatment of Raktapradara in my clinical study.Vasa is a plant which is easily available
and can be grown in every climate & in every part of India. Our poor Indian people can use
this drug for the effective treatment of Raktapradara.

021. NIDRA NASH (INSOMNIA)& ITS MANGEMENT WITH AMALAKI KWATHA DHARA
Jayesh Y.Gajjar, B.A.M.S. III phase, Dr. N.Prasad, lecturer, Dept of K.C. S.V.M.A.M.C.ILKAL

Nidra (sleep) is an important factor to maintain good health ,for which ancient authors
of Ayurveda have considered it as one of the sub- pillars for human body besides ahara
&bhramhhacharya. (A.S.9/36). Describing the benefits of adequate sleep Maharshi Vagbhatt
has opined that:
“Nidrayaktam sukham dukham pusthi karshya balabalam |
Vrushta klibata gnanaagnanam jivita na cha ||”
On the other hand nidra nash or insomnia result in various physical , physiological &
psychological ailments , which is usually result from an interaction of biological, Physical ,
psychological & environmental factors.

022. EFFECT OF “SHIGRU TAILA NASYA” IN PUTINASA

D. Professor P.G. Department of Shalakyatantra, S.D.M.C.A.&H., Hassan.

PUTINASA is a Nasagata vyadhi, it is one of the common clinical conditions found in
day to day medical practice. It affects the both sex with irrespective of age. The cardinal features
of Putinasa include foul smell from the nose and mouth. Now a day, the prevalence of this
condition is increased due to excess exposure to avashyaya, raja, dhuma, asathmya gandha,
mityahara vihara sevana etc causes. Its recurrent attacks and the incomplete treatment make
the disease chronic with several complications. Medical science though developed a lot the
recurrence of the disease is still a problem. Hence, there is a need of simple, economic remedy
to treat this ailment. Objective of the treatment includes “Giving a person, the possible better
quality of life”. From this perspective, a study was undertaken in S.D.M.C.A. & H, Hassan to
study the effect of “SHIGRU TAILA NASYA” in PUTINASA. By taking this into consideration, 20
cases of Putinasa were selected randomly and shigru taila nasya for 7 days was given. In this
study a significant response was obtained. Study conducted by WHO envisages that
apporixmentlly 27 % of the people are suffering from insomnia world wide associated with
varity of complaints in day time functioning .As per its treatment is concerned there is no
satisfactory permanent cure available in modern pharmacopea. The medicine invented so far

are addictive in nature having so many adverse effects. On the other hand Ayurvedic lexicons
have mentioned amalaki kwath shirodhara as suitable therapy to promote adequate sleep
which is an external therapy having less cost, free from side effects, requires short term
treatment and providing long term affects that’s why I have selected this topic for discussion
which I shall present in-detail during presentation.

023. WHY DO WE AGE?
Dipti .G. Godbole, Rohini H.D , Final year BAMS, Dr Prashanth G.S, Dept of Kayachikitsa,
AMC & PG Centre, Davangere

The mode or art of living of an individual is called “LIFE”. Life is a mixture of joys and
sorrows. We come across many moments and irrespective of any kind of moment weather
good or bad, today’s moment becomes tomorrow’s memory. One should enjoy the life because
the gift of “LIFE” IS THE “LIFE” it self. Once an individual life begins, his life-span begins at the
very same moment, and thus we can say, life of an organism and life-span goes hand-in-hand.
Nature expects two things from an organism, one is the existence and other is the reproduction.
When once the two things are successfully completed, that individual organism in a well
organized manner, it will be made to get extinguished from the scene. This well organized
removalitself is termed as “ageing / senility”, which is the last segment of once life span. A
question arises “WHY DO AN INDIVIDUAL AGE?” Many theories have been propounded as an
answer to this question.

024. MEDOVRIDDHI (OBESITY) & ITS RESEARCH METHOD
Dr. N. Prasad, MD (Ayu.), Lecturer, S.V.M.A.MC, ILKAL

Weight gain is a physiological process but sometimes it invites a number of disorders
with fatal outcomes. It became a worldwide concern among medicos and stands unabated.
Successful drug treatments are not fully beneficial up to satisfaction and requirement. Its origin
is very primitive among the mankind, which has been increased, in the present era.
Ayurveda, the most ancient remedial resource under human possession has slaked a
number of remedies for over weight cases .The clinical condition of over weight is designated
as Medovriddhi/ Sthaulya/ Medoroga /medodosha/ obesity along with its clinical features and
treatment.
Clinical research occupies an important place in Ayurvedic Research programme. This
is the only area where one can do some real work and deliver something really beneficial to
mankind in the interest of academic and therapeutic purpose. That’s why I have selected this
topic, which comprises of detail regarding parameters to study (both in Ayurveda & Modern
point of view), Ethical consideration, duration of trial etc. with respect to obesity that I shall
present in detail during presentation.

025. EVALUATION OF THE EFFICACY OF TAKRADHARA IN KITIBHA KUSHTA(PSORIASIS)
By.dr.chandramouleeswaran. P, MD(AY), Lecturer & R.M.O Parssnikkadavu ayurveda college.
Kannur.

Psorriasis affects about 1-3% of the world population because of anxiety and tension.
It is psychosomatic, is as old as the history of human civilization.The effects of soka on the skin
from Bhagavadgeeta1/13Arjuna vishada yoga as ”Gandeevam srasate hastat twakchaiva
paridahyate”. Takra dhara is one of the keraliya treatment. It is said to be best for dhatu
saidhilya and all kinds of doshakopa and manahprasadaka.Takradhara is known for its efficacy


for both sareeraka and manasikadoshas and diseases l ike Psoriasis which are agevated by
stress and tension. Patients were thoroughly examined both subjectively and objectively.
Detailed history taken and findings of the examination were noted. Confirmation tests to confirm
the diagnosis were made. Routine investigati1ons were done to exclude the other pathologies.
In the present study aragwadadhi gana kashaya was used instead of amalaki kashya.
PASI(Psoriasis Area Severity Index) score was considered as both subjective and objective
parameters. Because it covers subjective (Itching, Scaling, Erythema, and Thickness) and
objective parameter (Area) Along with this triggering factors like Krodha, Bhaya, Chittodwega,
Shoka are also studied and results were obtained. However, they were not considered for the
overall result. After treatment, 8 patients (i.e. 26.66%) showed complete remission, 7 patients
(i.e.25.90%) showed marked improvement, 4 patients (i.e. 13.33%) showed moderate
improvement and 9 patients (i.e.30%) showed mild improvement and no response was found
in 5 patients (i.e.16.66). Takradhara is a modification of the Shirahseka procedure, which
comes under the type of Moordhni taila . PASI score showed highly significant. It was observed
that the procedure was highly effective in scalp and palmo-plantar variety of psoriasis. Reduction
in symptoms like scaling and itching was found in all most all the patients. In head affected
patients, the therapy provided complete remission in almost all the cases, but in some cases it
does not even had a minimal impact. Significant reduction was found in triggering factors like
Bhaya, Krodha, Chitthodvega.

026. PHARMACEUTICAL STANDARDIZATION OF CHAKRIKA W.S.R. TO SHANKA BHASMA

Rasoushadis are gaining an important position because of its high potency, quick action
in smaller dose and long shelf life. Along with this it is also discarded because of its toxic
effects due to improper preparation. But when we look at the methods of Marana they differ
according to different authors. A keen study of these processes may disclose the hidden
lacunae. For example different medias are used in different processes and some intermediate
process is not much clear and hence the products may naturally be different in quality. Research
works since decades are giving stress to the significance and scientificity of Ayurvedic
formulations especially the metallic preparations in various centers of India. For preparation
of Bhasma ,Chakrika nirmana is an essential process, firstly the metals etc. are intended to
Bhavana and then Chakrika are prepared and dried. But there is no any specific reference
available regarding size, shape, weight and thickness of Chakrika in our classic. So lots of
questions arise in the field of Rasashastra. So here an attempt will be made to standardize
Chakrika in term of size, shape, weight and thickness. Here Shankha Bhasma was selected
because of its easv availability, cost effective and less time consuming.

027. ROLE OF BRIHAT SIMIHANADA GUGGULU ON OBESITY
Dr Sriram Chandra Mishra, Lecturer, Dr Nirakar Sethi, Lecturer, B.M.,J. Ayurvedic Medical
College, Gajendragad, Gadag (Karnataka)

Weight gain is a natural physiological process but sometimes it increases to that point
of development where it may impair health and invites a number of disorders with high morbidity
and mortality.Meda is the fourth tissue incorporates with weight gain and its derangement
leads to rnedodhatugata diseases like Medovridhi, Medoroga, Sthaulya, etc which is simulated


with Overweight / Obesity. It is a major health problem in both developed and developing
countries. It is manifested by accompanying with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis,
ischemic heart disease etc. As it always possesses problem owing to the state of helplessness
due to limitations of enjoying an active life, Ayurveda (Charaka) describes it as one among the
eight most unwanted personalities (Astanindaniya purusa).
Inspite of advanced technology and research, all therapies are failed to give the best
result for obesity. So much researchers focus on new drugs to combat obesity.The present
model is one of them. Katu, Kashaya rasa are attributed to have Karsana and Upachayahara
properties where as Tikta have Lekhana and Meda upasoshana karma. Hence the drug should
be of Katu, Tikta and Kashaya rasa dominant. Befitting to the principle, Brihat Simhanada
Guggulu (Bhaisajya Ratnavali ) is seems to be appropriated. The probable action of the
drugs depends upon there Rasapanchaka.It was found that the proportion of ingredients
shows predominance of Katu (76.19%), Tikta (61.9%) and Kashaya (47.62%) as compared to
Madhura (33.33% ) ,Amla (14.29%) and Lavana( 4.76%)

Mukha Swasthya plays an important role in preservation of positive health. Among the
Mukha rogas “Mukha Paka” is considered as Pittaja Nanatmaja and Rakta Pradoshaja Vikara
characterized by Vedanaayukta Vrana in the Mukha Kuhara.The Lakshanas of Mukha paka
such as Rakta varna yukta vrana, Tanu, Teevraruja, Teevradaha, Tiktaasyata etc (based on
the vitiation of doshas ) are seen. It can be co-related to a clinical entity of Stomatitis. It is
characterized by painful, single or multiple shallow hyperemic ulceration in the oral mucosa,
gums, tongue and lips with recurrent episodes.
Among the various procedures mentioned for Mukha Paka, Gandusha is one which is
explained more effective. Among the single remedies Yashtimadhu Kashaya (Gandusha) which
is having both Shamana and Ropana property is selected for the present study, which is
economic and commonly available.Previous Research Works are reviewed, shows that maximum
number of patients were suffering with recurrent episodes. Many research works have been
conducted on Mukha Paka in general. But till now no medicine is established. Hence the present
study is aimed to establish the effect of Yashtimadhu Kashaya Gandusha in Mukha Paka to
standardize the drug, duration and frequency of the procedure.
To asses this a clinical trail was conducted on 20 patients with Yashtimadhu Kashaya
Gandusha in S.D.M.C.A & H. Hassan. The results were assed in pre and post treatment designed
proforma.The detailed study, related data will be presented in full paper.

The oral hygiene is an essential part in the life healthy human, it is the responsibility of
an individual to maintain it, but sometimes due to illiteracy, negligence , pragyaparada, Abhigata,
malnutrition etc causes the derangement occurs in the gums due to the vitiation of kapha,
Rakta dosha and manifests the diseases like sheetada.



Sheetada is one among the dantamoolagata roga the clinical features of the disease
are soft gums, blackish discolouration of gums, pain, foul smelland destrution of gums.Different
researches were conducted on it but no remedy proved to be effective to treat this condition.
Different treatment principle are suggested in the classics like lepa, pratisarana kavala
gandusha, kshara karma etc. Kavala is a simple procedure which can be performed in OPD
level hence i have inspired to do this clinical research . To assess this, a clinical trial was
conducted on 20 patients with administration of mustadi kwatha kavala in S. D. M. C. A. & H.
Hassan. The results were assessed in pre and post treatment designed proforma. The detail
description of the study, related data will be presented in full paper.

(Ayu), Lecturer. P.G. Department of Shalakya tantra, S.D.M.C.A. & H., Hassan.

ARDHAVABHEDAKA is one among the 11 types of Shiroroga. The causes of
Ardhavabhedaka are excessive intake of ruksha padarthas, Adhyashana, Purva vata sevana,
Atimaithuna (excessive coitus), Vegadharna (suppressing of natural urges), Athishrama
(excessive work) etc, in which pain is appreciable in one half of the Shiras, shanka, Bhru,
Kapala, and in Karna pradesha. The attacks of Ardhavabhedaka will be once in three days,
fifteen days and once in a month as per the range of vitiation. It can be correlated with migraine
based on the similarity in etiology, pathology, symptoms and treatment principles.Headache is
a common problem in India and Abroad in these days. In that around 35% of patients are
suffering from migraine headache. As per acharya Charaka and modern science it is said that
Ardhavabhedaka if left untreated it leads to diseases like deafness and blindness. Hence an
early treatment intervention is needed for Ardhavabhedaka.Migraine does not shorten the life,
but in severe cases a state of chronic exhaustion may occurs. Very rarely persistent cerebral
symptoms remain with some irreversible vascular changes. A large group of people fail to get
the desired results due to visiting the hospital in advanced stage treatment. In spite of advanced
modern technology and medicine the treatment of migraine is not complete. Application of
Ajamodadi Arka lepa to the frontal head for 7 days proved to be effective in the management
of Ardhavabedhaka.

031. EFFECT OF ARAGWADA PRATHISARANEEYA KSHARA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF
ARDRA ARSHAS
Dr. Remya VR, 2ND Yr. P.G. Dr. P N Rao, Professor P.G. Dr. P Hemanth kumar, Asst. Prof. &
H.O.D. P.G. Dept, Dr. N Murulidhar Lecturer. P.G. Dept of Shalya , S.D.M.C.A. & H., Hassan.

Arshas or Hemorrhoids, one of the commonest diseases occur in Ano-rectal region. Its
incidence increases with advancing age, at least 50% of people over the age of 50years have
some degree of haemorrhoidal symptoms. Now a day every person suffers from any one of the
complaints of piles during their life time. Sushrutha, the pioneer in the field of Surgery, while
describing the Chikitsa of Arshas, emphasized on the procedure of Kshara karma and told that
Arshas which are Mrudu, Prasrutha, Avaghada, and Uchruta should be treated only by Kshara
karma. The effect of Kshara is praised so much that it can replace Sastra karma, as it does the
functions of Chedana, Bhedana, and Lekhana karmas without using Sastras.
The Apamarga Pratisaraneeya Kshara karma is widely used in our day-to-day practice
with good results. Research work had also been made with Apamarga Pratisaraneeya Kshara


in Ardra Arshas, which showed encouraging results. But the main problem that is faced during
post-operative period is, some patients complain of moderate to severe burning pain in early
post-operative period. Considering this problem I justified to find out a preparation which is less
irritant, less painful and which has better acceptability in management of Ardra arshas. Many
drugs are mentioned in the classics for the preparation of Kshara. Susrutha had mentioned
Aragwada as one among the drugs used for preparation of Kshara, which acts as Pitta shamaka,
Daha prashamana, Shoola prashamana, Kandugna, Samshodaka. Hence, here an attempt is
made to see the “Effect of Aragwada Pratisaraneeya kshara in the management of Ardra
Arshas”

032. A CLINICAL STUDY ON PRATISARANEEYA KSHARA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF RECTAL
PROLAPSE
Dr. Pradeep S. Shindhe, 2nd year P.G. Dr. P. N. Rao Principal, Professor, Dr. P.Hemanthkumar

S.D.M.C.A.& H., Hassan.

Rectal Prolapse is a surgical condition, occurs when a mucosal or full thickness layer of
rectal tissue slides through the anal orifice. This usually occurs during evacuation. Initially,
patients are usually unaware of this event. If not treated properly, this will lead to irreducibility
and gangrene. Objective of medicine includes “Giving a person, the possible better quality of
life”. However, with repeated episodes it worsens and eventually a portion of the rectum begins
to be pushed through the anal canal or to become prolapsed.
Sushruta’s Para surgical procedures in treating surgical diseases are considered to be
a great contribution to the field of surgery. ‘Gudabhramsha’ with its clinical presentation, signs
and symptoms can be compared with ‘Rectal Prolapse’. Pratisaraneeya Kshara Karma is
described in ‘Arsha Chikitsa’, in the context of ‘Brushta Guda’ (Rectal Prolapse), which is said
to be the effective one. However, the idea of present work is to find out the effectiveness of
Apamarga Pratisaraneeya Kshara Karma in the management of Gudabhramsha, and open the
new way of treatment which are simple procedure, economical, better acceptability, and
alternative to surgery.
To assess this, one is Degree of Prolapse and the other is anal sphincter tonicity, which
is measured by a self – designed instrument “Hemantha Kumar Modified Sphincterometer”
The study shows that Pratisaraneeya Kshara is having a significant effect on Rectal Prolapse

033. EFFECT OF GANDHAKA RASAYANA GUGGULU IN THE PREVENTION OF POST-
OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS

The wound ,its management and prevention of infection has been in existence as early
as Vedic period . Which has been put more light by acharya Sushrutha along with maintenance
of surgical instruments ,O.T. dressing materials and oral and local medications. Being a global
problem since ages numerous efforts have been made to prevent post-operative sepsis. Despite
of this rapid changes in the concept of management of infection ,the rate of occurrence of
infection has not been brought near to zero. The discovery of newer broad-spectrum antibiotics
had reduced rate of infection but the organisms are becoming resistant to these antibiotics
available.Besides this, the antibiotics are causing sever anaphylactic reactions and sometimes
proves fatal to sufferings. These are expensive too.



Taking into consideration of above facts, a clinical study was conducted ,to explore the
possible contribution of Ayurveda in management of post-operative infections ,by the compound
– Gandhaka rasayana, Triphala Guggulu and Shigru which was named as” GANDHAKA
RASAYANA GUGGULU” . The results were acessed by clinical observations of surgical wound
by means of tenderness, oedema, redness, etc.with biochemical tests . In this study the efficacy
of the drug has been evaluated both as preventive and curative effects.

034. EFFECT OF MANJISTHADI LEPA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ANKLE SPRAIN

In day-to-day life, ankle is one of the most common sites for acute musculo-skeletal
injuries and sprains, which account for 75% of ankle injuries. Acute ankle trauma is responsible
for 10-30% of sports related injuries in young athletes. Each year an estimated one million
persons present to physician with acute ankle injuries. More than 40% of ankle sprain have
the potential to cause chronic problems. These injuries appear to be simple, but are more
painful and hamper the routine activities of the patient. Ankle sprain is characterized by pain,
swelling with or without deformity. In classics there is no direct reference regarding sprain and
its management. Sushruta in the context of Asthi-Bhagna has mentioned “Patanabhighatadwa”
which means Patana, Abhighata or both are the main causes for sprain, where he has advised
the application of Sheeta Pradeha to reduceVedana and Shopha. There is no reference
regarding the number of application and duration.

035. VYADHIKSHAMATVA-A CLASSICAL VIEW
Dr.Santosh N.Belavadi, Lecturer, DGM AMC GADAG-582103

Struggle between the individual and the environment if an individual wins he enjoys
good health other wise suffers from diseases. Aksetra beejamritsrushtamantareva vinishyati -
Manusmriti, means when a seed is sown in non-fertile soil it is destroyed. In the same manner
in good Vyadhi kshamatva Shareera the disease will not manifest. Vyadhi kshamatva mainly
depends upon the equilibrium of doshas the healthiness of the dhatus and the Bala The Ojus.
Again this is classified into - Species Immunity-hens (tetanus) dogs(anthrax), Racial
Immunity-negroes(yellow fever) jews(tuberculosis) and Individual Immunity-varies from one to
another. When dehadhatu bala is uttama due to nidana they wont manifest the disease but
when dhatu bala is durbala and the causative factors are balavan then Vyadhi will be manifest
(cha.su.26)

036. A GLOBAL VIEW ON FACTS AND FACETS OF AYURVEDIC FORMULATIONS
Dr. Anita .I. Mudnur, Dr. Harikrishna, Lecturer, Guide : Dr. D.K. Mishra,HOD, Dpt. Of R.S. & B.K.

Every Indian manufacturer of herbal products large scaled or small-scaled desires to
export their products and particularly to North America and Europe. Over 123 county members
of WHO have their own policy formed for regulation of herbal products particularly to traditional
complementary and alternative medicine.
In UK over 300 herbal substances are named in general sale list for internal use schedule
3(A) some 30 are listed for external use schedule 3 (B). To get most of our medicine prescribed
or sold in the European market huge amount of pounds will be charged as licensing fees


henceforth. Some of the so-called Ayurveda Associations have believed to have represented
the system in the consultation exercise and failed to do justice to the cause of Ayurveda. The
medicines control agency (MCA) in UK has been very active in bringing to court the Vaidyas
who make wild claims on their products without proving the safety, efficacy, standardization and
stability of medicines.
In the Europe the labeling of dietary supplement cannot many any claims of therapeutic
efficacy. But the very fact remains the same that 80% of the world population relies on herbal
medicines. At present WHO is taking an official in development of traditional treatments in
order to facilitate its aim of making wealth care available for all.
In India inherent lack of aggressiveness in marketing adds to our limited international
share. So the current needs are our focus should be on value addition most entrants desire to
export crude herbs or semi-processed materials. Building brands, not selling as commodities.
The Indian Government must also take up the challenges earnestly and work with problems.

India is a second country in the world in consideration of population. 75% out of the
population getting the health from the traditional medicines. Many of these traditional medicines
are kept under the secret and practicing since generations successfully. Few of our elders
made an attempt to bring out but unfortunately most of them not popularized. Suplphur is
broadly used as a single drug and compound in most of the skin disease. The Yoga of “Gandhaka
Pushpa” and its utility is mentioned in the book “PARISHODHITA AYURVEDA OUSHADHA
YOGAVALI” which is written in Telugu language (India) by T. P. Ramanujaswamy and published
by Shri Ayurveda Dharma Vaidya Shala Sangham, published in 1952 Page No. 53.“Gandhaka

Psoriasis is among the most wide spread chronic, frequently recurring diseases of the
skin. About 3 percent of the world population suffers from Psoriasis. And it is source of frustration
to patients. Inspite of advancement in all branches of Modern science, its etiology is still a
dermatological “MYSTERY”, the solution to which is being tackled by many scientists. There is no
satisfactory treatment for this disease. Psoriasis can be compared to Kitibha Kushta of Ayurveda.
The objective of the study was to assess the role of each Vamana, Virechana along with Shamana
.The drugs selected for the study were Trikatu Choorna for Aamapachana, Mahakhadiradi
Ghruta for Snehapana, Karanja Taila for Abhyanga, Madana Phaladi Yoga for Vamana, Trivrut
Leha for Virechana and Guduchyadi Kashaya for Shamana. 20 patients were studied in this
series and these patients received Vamana, Virechana and Shamana. The effect of therapy was
assessed based on improvement obtained in symptom scores and other parameter, P.A.S.I. scoring
etc. The data was statistically analysed. The therapy provided highly significant results on all
parameters including P.A.S.I. scoring. The results are encouraging with more than 85%
improvement. Hence modalities of our treatment can be recommended to all patients of Kitibha
Kushta (Psoriasis) with out any hesitation.

As a result of urbanization, industrialization and excessive air pollution, Bronchial
Asthma is more rampant in and around the society. Large community studies have revealed
that 15 % of the population has at least one kind of allergic-manifestations. Bronchial Asthma
which occurs at all ages irrespective of gender. As the ratio of Bronchial Asthma increases, it
needs the proper treatment, which is able to control the disease.
Bronchial Asthma can be compared with Tamakashwasa of Ayurveda. The objective
of the study was to assess the role of each Virechana along with Shamana. The drugs selected
for the study were Panchakola Choorna for Aamapachana, Dashamooladi Ghruta for
Snehapana, Lavana Taila for Abhyanga ,Trivrut Leha for Virechana and Shatyadi Churna for
Shamana. 10 patients were included in this study. These patients were received Virechana and
Shamana Oushadhi. The effect of therapy was assessed based on improvement obtained in
symptom scores and other parameter. At the end of the therapy patients showed statistically
significant results on all parameters. The results were encouraging with more than 75%
improvement. Hence we recommend this therapy for all the patients of Tamakashwasa.
040. ROLE OF PANCHAKAMA IN MEDICAL TOURISM THROUGH THE MANAGEMENT OF
DEPRESSION DISORDER
Dr:Sandeep D. Nair PG Scholar, Dept. of Kayachikitsa & Panchakanna, Govt. Ayurveda College
Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.

Medical tourism is the word heard more frequently now a day. Economic sector of the
country has very much been benefits by medical tourism. The requisites, a common man
looking for are Cost effectiveness and Treatment efficacy. Most of the developed countries
though having treatment efficacy lack cost effectiveness and many of the under developed
countries lack treatment efficacy. Here India has an upper hand by promising the requisites
and hence has captured the center stage.
World is posed with many disorders which are still unanswered n modern medical science.
Depression is one such problem. The work efficacy of a person and there by the productivity
of a country is being greatly hampered by their dreadful condition. In western countries like
Australia one in two women and one in sex men, suffer from depressive disorder. According to
WHO by the year 2020, depression is going to be the second leading course of disability
worldwide. Medical community is still in search for an effective management of the same.
It has been observed that Panchakarma treatment has provided valuable results in the
management of depression disorders. This paper aim at boosting, one tourism through
Panchakarma, in managing the depression disorder, by giving importance to the detailed
strategy.

041. THALAM, THE CONCEPT AND PRACTICE
Dr: Shripathi Adiga, 2 PG scholar.Dcpt. of Kavacliikitsa & Panchakanna, Govt. Avurveda College
Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.

Thalam is a traditional treatment modality developed b Vriddha Vaidyas of Kerala bv
constant observation and rational thinking. Thalam has got time tested evidence based results
pertaining to various clinical conditions. Being such a good treatment modality the concept

and practice of Thalam is still in a rudimentary stage outside Kerala. It is widely practiced
under two prospective, as an individual treatment for specific clinical conditions and as a
supportive measure during specific Kriyakramas. This particular treatment modality has its
uniqueness by qualities like cost effectiveness, patient friendly, easy administration and
multidimensional therapeutic action. This paper tries to explain the concept behind Thalam
and its various clinical applications available exclusively in Kerala classical texts and traditional
practice.

042. PREVENTION OF COMMUNITY DISEASES THROUGH RITU SHODHANA
Dr- Vijay j. Dandavatimath, PG scholar, Dept. of Kayachikitsa & Panchakarma, Govt. Ayurveda
College Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.

Life style disorders are highly prevalent throughout the world presently. Lack of exercise,
sedentary habits, unhealthy food habits are spreading in he society and are affecting the
community with many dreadful diseases the mankind has ever experienced, in such a large.
He leading causes of death and disability viz. coronary heart diseases, stroke etc. & many
other metabolic & immunological disorders are all the result of this.
In this regard it is the need of the hour to contemplate the Ayurvedic strategies to deal
the situation, Avurveda has stressed the importance of VYAYAMA & HITAHARA for lading a
healthy life and the people who have failed to do this what is happening today, should regularly
undergo SHODHANA in SADHARANA RITUS.
And if they fail to do this they’ll be finding themselves in the claws of much dreadful
diseases. And also there are diseases occurring in community in particular seasons. In this
context, this paper aims at describing the role of RITUSHODHANA in preventing the life style
disorders and in preventing the seasonal community disorders. This paper also highlights the
geological distribution of India & the seasonal variation with respect to SAI)HARANA RITUS,
which is apt for SHODHANA.

043. SHIROVASTI – A CRITICAL APPROACH
Dr. Madhushree.H.S. Dr. Purushottamacharyulu, H.O.D. Santosh N. Belavadi Lecturer, PK Dept

Ayurveda gives priority and prescribes measures for preventing the occurrence of such
ailments and for maintaining as well as promoting the positive health of an individual in order to
keep him healthy and happy, both physically and mentally. Shiro Vasti is one such excellent
procedure authenticated for the treatment of several diseases connected with shiras and nervous
system. Its therapeutic utility for giving cure to patients suffering from chronic insomnia and
schizophrenia is well known. Imagination of any living creature without head is not possible. So
considering the importance of head Acharyas had explained the head as ‘Uttamanga’ and
‘Urdwaha mulam’ In chikitsa also manasika dosha chikitsa is given more importance than
shareerika dosha chikitsa. Shirovasti is explained under Masthishkya i.e. the one which is
hitakara to masthishka. Vagbhata considers abhyanga, pichu, seka and shirovasti under Murdhni
taila. Among all the four, shirovasti is considered as pradhanatama because it has the additional
effect of shodhana. It is most effective in vata vyadhis, shirogatavyadhis and manasika vyadhis.
As it is well known fact that ‘indriyastu mano natha mano nathastu marutaha’ vata is believed to
have control over the manasika doshas. Shirovasti, as it is one of the snehana procedures is
having a major role in the treatment of manasika doshas by controlling vata. We cannot find
any direct reference regarding the mode of action of Shiro vasti. So, this paper tries to explain
the probable mode of action of Shirovasti with its practical utility.



044. STROKE AND ITS MANAGEMENT THROUGH AYURVEDA
Dr.M.A.Hullur, Professor Department of Post-Graduate studies in Kayachikitsa, Ayurveda
Mahavidyalaya, Hubli – 24 (Karnataka)

Stroke is one of the commonest neurological condition in society. Stroke is third most
important cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly population after cancer. It can also occur
at any age, but is more frequent in middle-aged men and women. Neurologically disabled
person is not only burden to the family but also society.
Being important to the health and longevity of man, the study of Stroke continues to
be one of the most intellectually stimulating challenges. It is a clinical condition associated with
loss of functions of either side of the body, loss of speech, associated with more or less
prolonged coma. It is believed beyond doubt that Stroke is caused due to abnormalities in the
brain tissue, such as haemorrhage, embolism, thrombosis, head injuries etc. In Ayurvedic
Charaka, Sushruta and Vagbhata described causative factors for Pakshaghata indirectly, which
are similar to the causative factors for Stroke.

045. CLINICAL MANAGEMENT OF ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION THROUGH TAKRA DHARA
Dr.Ravindra Kumar Arahunasi, P.G. Scholar, Dr. M.A.Hullur, Professor, Post Graduate
Department of Kayachikitsa. Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya, Hubli – 580 024, KARNATAKA

Hypertension is the commonest condition, study of hypertension continues to be one
of the most intellectually stimulating challenges. Needless to say hypertension is curse of
modern, ultra urbanization. Physical and mental stress and strain are the main two culprits
playing the major role.
WHO has rightly stressed that any study of hypertension is incomplete unless further
studies are done. To determine the presence of specific etiological factors and presence or
absence of complications. The symptoms usually seen in hypertension are headache, giddiness,
vertigo, palpitation, chest pain, some time blurred vision etc.There is no direct resemblance of
hypertension in Ayurveda but the clinical condition of hypertension resemblance to many
conditions mentioned in our classics like Raktagata Vata, Ma.Ni.22/6, Raktavruta Vata As.Hr.16/
39, Pranavruta Udana Vata Cha.Su.20, Siragata Vata Cha.Chi.28/36, Rudhira Mada
Cha.Su.24.Stress factor play a major role in the causation of hypertension, which may sometimes
cost once life. The conventional therapies do not have major say in satisfactory management
of hypertension. Hence an attempt is being made to effectively control the blood pressure
through Takra Dhara. Patients were instructed regarding diets and lifestyle management during
the follow-up period of 1 month these subjects were found to have good control of blood
pressure and relief of symptoms.

046. CLINICAL MANAGEMENT OF CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS THROUGH VALUKA SWEDA
AND SHAMANOUSHADHI
Dr.Avadhut Suresh Aiya.P.G. Scholar, Dr.M.A. Hullur Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya, Hubli – 24

Cervical Spondylosis is one of the commonest neurological problems, characterised
by degeneration of intervertebral disc, extrusion of disc materials, surrounding Fibrosis, vertebral
body edge hypertrophy etc. Frequently associated degenerative changes all can contribute to
radiculopathy and myelopathy. Various autonomic symptoms may be present. Either there are
purely vataja symptoms or vata kaphaja symptoms considering the involvement of kapha and
vata or vata, drugs or procedures, which are kapha vata or vata shamaka, were selected.


The objectives of this study were to assess the role of Valuka Sweda and Vatagajankush
rasa in Cervical Spondylosis. In this clinical study 10 patients suffering from Cervical Spondylosis
were studied. Patients received Amapachana with Panchakola choorna for 5 days followed by
Valuka Sweda for 7 days along with Vatagajankush rasa with anupana of Manjistadi Kwath.
Vatagajankush rasa with anupana of Manjistadi Kwath was continued further for 4 weeks. Follow
up was done for a period of 4weeks.All the patients became a symptomatic at the end of the
follow-up and showed moderate improvement and statistically significant results.

047. A COMPREHENSIVE MANAGEMENT OF KILASA KUSHTA (VITILIGO)
Dr.Mahantesh.P.M. P.G. Scholar, Dr.M.A.Hullur, Department of Post-Graduate studies in
Kayachikitsa, Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya, Hubli – 24 (Karnataka)

This disease of no pain or ulcer but it inflates an inferiority complex to the person
affected with unknown cause. Depigmentation is due to the disappearance of melanocytes
from the affected skin. In skin diseases Shodhana treatment plays important role. Virechana
was taken for study, which is specially recommended in Kilasa kusta. As there is change in the
complexion of skin altering the beauty, Varnya maha kashaya was selected along with
Avalgujabeejadi Lepa, which is best in the management of Kilasa kusta.
Here, an attempt was made on 30 patients, all the patients received Amapachana with
Panchakola churna, Sadhya snehapana with Pancha tikta ghrita, Abhyanga with Karanja taila,
Virechana with Trivrutha lehya, Shaman oushadhi with Varnya maha kashaya and application
of Avalguja beejadi churna. The duration of Treatment was 3 months and follow-up period was
3 months. 8 patients were showed mild improvement (26.66%) 11 patients had showed moderate
improvement (36.66%) 9 patients had showed marked improvement (30%) 2 patients had
showed excellent improvement (6.66%)

048. IMMUNOMODULATION - AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE
Dr.Vaishali Patil, P.G. Scholar, Dr.M.A.Hullur, Department of Post-Graduate studies in

Infection with HIV leading AIDS has been the greatest Biomedical challenge of this 21st
Century. As in India during 2004 it was estimated that 5 lakh people were affected by HIV and
out of which 38% were women and 37% were below 30 years of age.The infection leads to
progressive impairement of cellular immuno function characterized by a gradual decline in
peripheral blood CD4+ T lymphatic levels with result in an increased susceptiability to a wide
variety of opportunistic infections.
Ojokshaya resembles to that of an HIV infected conditions. In nutshell vitiation of doshas
is a syndrome causing Dhatukshaya, loss of Bala and Ojas – the pivot of immunity. Sushruta
used the term Bala to signify Ojas and stated Bala is the power of the body sufficient to resist
the disease. According to Chakrapani Bala Vyadhi kshamatva in its two aspects – Vyadhi
Balavirodhitwa and Vyadhiutpadakanirbhandakatwa.
Rasayana therapy covers the nutrient fraction and its subsequent metabolic
transformation under the influence of different Agni of the body in the formation of Ojas. Ojas
represent vitality, vigour and capacity to resist decay and disease. It is well known fact that all
HIV positive cases are not AIDS. Even though there is no permanent curative therapy in any of
the sciences, but the Rasayana therapy told in Ayurveda can help in maintaining and uplifting
body immunity. The life expectancy can be enhanced by systematic adoption of Ayurvedic
therapies.



049. DIABETIC POLYNEUROPATHY AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE
Dr.Deepti Kokane. P.G.Scholar, Dr.P.G.Subbanagouda, Department of Post-Graduate studies
in Kayachikitsa, Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya, Hubli – 24 (Karnataka)

The increase in prevalence of Diabetes in developing nations like India is attributed to
urbanization and sedentary lifestyle. Highest of Diabetes mellitus patients live in India. 10% of
the population is suffering from Diabetes in the world. At present India have 35 million diabetes,
which is likely to reach 80 million by 2030.The long standing hyperglycemia adversely affects
multiple organ systems, especially heart, kidney, eyes and sensory nerves. Diabetic
polyneuropathy leads to burning sensation in soles, feet and parasthesiae. The loss of sensation
in feet plays an important cause for the development of pressure sores which does not heal
and ultimately terminating into diabetic gangrene. The development of gangrene forces the
doctor to take drastic life saving or limb saving amputation which makes the patient permanently
immobile. Hence in diabetics prevention and management of polyneuropathy is of utmost
importance. In Ayurveda we find the laxanas such as pada daha, pada harsha and pada
suptata in the Madhumeha roga which can be correlated with Diabetic polyneuropathy. Usually
in uncontrolled diabetic patients Diabetic polyneuropathy is very commonly seen. Efficient
control of Diabetes will reduce Diabetic polyneuropathy to an greater extent. Ayurvedic
formulations have got multifactorial effect and they help in not only control of Diabetes but also
effectively minimize or cure Diabetic polyneuropathy.

050. RHEUMATOLOGY IN AYURVEDA
Dr.Neetu Singh. P.G. Scholar, Dr.P.G.Subbanagouda, Department of Post-Graduate studies in

Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the commonest joint disorder. It is a chronic systemic
inflammatory disorder that affects many tissues and organs – skin, blood vessels, heart, lungs,
muscles but principally it affects the joints producing the non – suppurative proliferative synovitis
that often progress to destruction of the articular cartilage and ankylosis of the joints. All
though the cause for RA remains unknown it is believed that auto-immunity plays a pivotal role
in its chronicity and progression.
RA is a common clinical entity afflicting nearly 1% of worlds population. The reported
prevalence of RA in adults varies from 0.5% - 3.8%. With an annual incidence 5% of women
and 2% of men over the age of 55 years are affected. As the disease become chronic it
damages the joints and later causes deformities and may cripples ones life because of deformity
in extremities. As RA is a systemic disease so with progression it will cause anorexia, weight
loss, joint abnormality, pericarditis, mitral stenosis etc. and other related conditions. It is a
known fact that “It licks the joints and bites the heart”.
AYURVEDA has given in depth information of various joint disorders in which, AMAVATA
is one of such joint disorders which can be compared with RA. Amavata is rasavaha, srotojanya
vikara and Mandagni is considered as an important contributing factor for its Aetiopathogenesis.
When Amavata gets exacerbated it becomes most distressing of all other vyadhis. The principal
treatment of Amavata as described in Ayurveda is based on “Langhan”, “Deepana” and
“Pachana” of Apakwa ama rasa followed by suppuration of aggravated vata.
Aetiologically, Aetio-pathologically, clinically there is great resembles to that of Amavata
told in Ayurveda. Proper efforts are needed to formulate economic efficacious and affordable
therapy.


051. MIGRAINE - AN AYURVEDIC APPROACH
Dr.Twinkle Gupta, P.G. Scholar, Dr.P.G.Subbanagouda, Department of Post-Graduate studies

Migraine is one of the commonest Neurological disorders and is a chronic condition of
recurrent attacks, widely variable in intensity, frequency and duration. It is disorder that can
involve the brain, the eyes and the autonomic nervous system. The International Headache
Society (IHS) defines Migraine without aura (common migraine) as at least five attacks unrelated
to organic disease with a duration of 4-72 hrs and with aura (classical migraine) as at least two
attacks unrelated to organic disease with a duration of 5-20 min and lasts for less than 60 min.
Migraine is usually associated with nausea, vomiting and visual disturbances. Prior to
the onset of symptoms, some persons experience depression, sleepiness, hunger, thirst and
increased urinary frequency. Migraine is more commonly seen in females and the middle age
persons. About 10-20% of the population is estimated to suffer from it. 15% women and 6% of
men are usually afflicted. Women experience a much higher rate of migraine during premenstrual
period. Migraine may result from a variety of causes such as low blood sugar, nutritional
deficiency, stress, improper sleep and rest and dietary causes such as chocolates, cheese
may precipitate attacks.
Treatment of migraine available in modern science is the use of analgesics, which are
said to have many adverse effects on the systems. Owing to the adverse effects, it is essential
to find newer, efficacious drugs and procedures to tackle such disease entities, which is possible
with the help of Ayurvedic formulations. In Ayurvedic texts, Shiro roga are dealt in detail. The
clinical entities like Suryavarta and Ardhavabhedaka resembles to some extent with migraine.
The treatment modalities told in Ayurveda for the management are Nasya, Shirodhara and
Shamana oushadhi. Migraine type of headache can embarrass an individual to a greater
extent and sometimes may lead to suicidal tendencies.

052. ALCOHOLIC HEPATITIS AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE
Dr.Shrivatsa M.Navalur. P.G. Scholar, Dr.M.A. HULLUR Department of Post-Graduate studies

Alcoholic abuse is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the word. It is
estimated that in the US as many as 10% of men and 3% of women may suffer from persistent
problems related to the use of alcohol. The fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical
manual of mental disorders published by American psychiatric association divides in to “Alcohol
dependence and alcohol abuse”. Alcoholic abuse is characterized by recurrent performance
problems at school or on the jobs that result either from the after effect of drinking alcohol or
from intoxication. In addition patient with a alcohol abuse disorders may use alcohol in physically
adverse circumstances and may miss work or school or neglect child care or household
responsibilities because of alcohol use.
Alcohol affects many organ system of the body, but perhaps most notably affected are
the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM and the LIVER. Almost all ingested alcohol is metabolize in the liver
and excessive alcohol use can lead to acute and chronic liver diseases.
Alcohol abuse can lead to accumulation of fat within hepatocytes, the predominant cell
type in the liver. Alcoholic hepatitis can range from mild hepatitis with the abnormal laboratory
tests being the only indication of diseases, to severe liver dysfunction with complications such
as Jaundice, Hepatic encephalopathy, Ascites, bleeding esophageal varices, abnormal blood
clotting and coma.



The most important measure in the Alcoholic Liver Disease is to ensure the immediate
abstinence from alcohol. Treatment of other associated neurological condition may also require.
Intensive medical treatment of the complications of acute alcoholic hepatitis or cirrhosis is also
sometimes necessary, as is the treatment of concurrent infectious and metabolic disorders.

053. IBS - AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE
Dr.Rajaram.D.K. P.G. Scholar, Dr.A.I.Sanakal Department of Post-Graduate studies in

IBS is a functional disorder of large intestine in which normal activity of the bowel is
altered causing abdominal distress and constipation or diarrhoea. IBS is on one of the
commonest chronic gastro intestinal disorder. Because it is more common in the educated and
in city dwellers. It is considered a disease of civilization. The main cause of IBS is unknown
however certain factors considered as significant have been identified. Clinically it is seen in
middle aged, be more common in women than in men. Bowel disturbances divide the patients
into two groups viz. Spastic colon group and Pain less diarrhoeal group. There are no diagnostic
measures for IBS and the investigation are helpful only in ruling out other diagnosis. Investigations
are indicated in patients over the age of 40 years. Management of disease is with Diet,
Reassurance and Drugs. According to Ayurvedic classics the Annavaha srothogata or
pureeshavaha srothogata vikaras can be considered under IBS the laxana of vataja grahani
roga is observed in majority of patients. Ayurvedic procedures and formulations can give better
hope to these patients and make the life of these patients healthier.

054. AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE OF MENIERE’S DISEASE
VD NILESH A.PATIL, 1ST M.D (SCHOLAR), DR A.S.PRASHANTH, ASST PROF. DEPT.OF P.G.
STUDIES IN K.C. A.M.V, HUBALI.(KARNATAKA).

Deafness is impaired hearing and it is a great social and educational handicap. The
plight of a blind or a lame man can easily visualized by every one, and they evoke sympathy,
but no one sympathize with a deaf person as his handicap is not noticeable. MENIERE’S DISEASE
is one such disease with deafness. MENIERE’S DISEASE is characterized by episodic vertigo,
fluctuating sensori-neural hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness. Tinnitus and or deafness
may be absent during the initial attack of vertigo, but they invariably appear as the disease
progresses and are increased in severity during an acute attack. The annual incidence of.
MENIERE’S DISEASE is 0.5-7.5 /1000; onset is most frequently in the 5th decade of life but may
also occur in young adults or the elderly. The exact cause for. MENIERE’S DISEASE is unknown.
Therapy in modern medicine towards the control of rotatory vertigo. Surgical therapy is reserved
for unresponsive cases and includes endolymphatic sac decompression, lymbrinthetomy and
vestibular nerve section. Unfortunately, these are not effective therapy for hearing loss, tinnitus
and aural fullness associated with MENIERE’S DISEASE. Regarding the prognosis of this disease,
this disease is controlled but recurrence is likely. MENIERE’S DISEASE cannot be directly co-
related to any single disease describe in Ayurvedic classic.
However, some of the condition likes vertigo in. MENIERE’S DISEASE resembles to
some exact with “Bhrama” in Ayurveda, which is the main feature of. MENIERE’S DISEASE.
Also, main other features in MENIERE’S DISEASE deafness and tinnitus resembles “Karnanada
Nirupya Badhirya”, alone tinnitus resembles to “Karnkshweda” in Ayurveda to some extent.
Here an attempt is being made to relate to, MENIERE’S DISEASE some conditions in Ayurveda.
