Conceptual Study

Ayurveda considers Jaundice (Kamala) as a disorder of Raktavahasrotas. Vitiated Pitta is the main causa-tive factor in the pathogenesis of Kamala. In Ayurveda, Kamala is a next step of Pandu (anaemia). Ac-cording to Acharya Charaka, Kamala is mainly caused due to frequently consumption of Ushna (hot), Tik-shna (spicy) food i.e. Pittaprakopak Ahara (increasing level of Pitta). Due to these factors vitiation of Pitta (bile), Rakta (blood) and Mamsa (muscles) Dhatu will occur. Kamala is clinically correlated with jaundice due to its similarity of symptoms like yellowish of skin (Twak pitata), sclera (Netra), urine (Mutra), stool (Purisha) etc. In Kamala Vyadhi all Acharyas in Ayurveda texts has explained about Virechana Karma. Modern science has its own limitations in treating Kamala Vyadhi (jaundice) but Ayurvedic literature clearly explained pathology and treatment of Kamala Vyadhi which shows the specificity of Ayurveda. Ayurvedic line of management i.e., Virechana therapy and Shamana Chikitsa are successful in Kamala by removing toxic waste from the body and by correction of Agni (digestive fire).

ABSTRACT  : The word kala has been used in many senses in vedic & other ancient literature , Kala Sharira is an important part of Ayurvedic anatomy. Kala was first time described by Sushruta. He has explained kala as a barrier between dhatu and its ashaya Vagbhata has then added embryological development that it is the  important physical and functional components of the body. They form a protective coating for the ashayas as well as boundary between the ashayas and dhatus. There are seven kala in the body, in which second kala is Raktadhara kala. Kala sharira (anatomy and physiology of kala) gives us information about the important membranes and layers of the body which take part in many important functions of the body. Acharyas of Ayurveda have described the Anatomy & Physiology of Raktadhara kala in very brief manner.It is explained that Raktadhara kala holds the Raktadhatu (Blood) & present especially in sira (vessels), yakrita (liver) & pleeha (speen) but which structure inside of them is responsible for Raktadhara kala is not clearly mentioned. Hridaya (Heart) is an important organ of blood circulatory system but it is not included as a specific site of Raktadhara kala. So for proper understanding, it is essential to correlate it with the modern science & elaborate in a proper way.

Pathogenic Agents

Ayurveda is the science of life and its main aim is to maintain healthy status of healthy individuals and to cure the disease of the diseased persons, i.e. Swasthasya Swastha Rakshanam Aturasya Vikara Prashama-na”. To fulfil these purposes, Ayurveda has mentioned various fundamental principle in the treatises of Ayurveda. Concept of Ojus and Vyadhikshamatva (IMMUNITY)have been explained in Ayurvedic Treatis-es. Even though Ojus is located in Hrdaya (HEART), Ojus pervades all over the body and controls the all the functions of the body. By its loss or destruction, the destruction of life /body is sure to happen and by its presence, the body is sure to survive and different state (condition, activity, etc) concerned with the body are brought properly. The main function of Ojus is seen in treatises in the form of Vyadhikshamatva. Capacity or power of body to fight against disease and to resist against production of disease is known as Vyadhikshamatva. Immunity is defined as the capacity of the body to resist the pathogenic agents. So, the concept of Ojus and Vyadhikshamatva are similar as that of immunity of modern science. Understanding the concept of Ojus and Vyadhikshamatva will be helpful in fulfilling both the aims of Ayurvedic science, i.e. in contribution of implementation of positive health and in seeking solution of disorder through Ayur-veda. So, here an effort is made to study on Ojus.

Conceptual Study

In Ayurveda, Grahani Dosha is one among the Mahagadas. In modern science, Grahani Dosha included into digestive disorders. It’s prevalence about 69% in current time because of faulty dietary habits, sedentary lifestyle, stress and side effects of modern drugs. This cause leads too many digestive diseases. The organ Grahani is the seat of Jatharagni (digestive fire) both are interrelated. It’s supported and nourished by the strength of Agni. Normally, it receives the in- gested food, which is retained by restraining the downward movement (Grahanati). After diges- tion it releases the food through sides of lumen to next Ashaya i.e. Pakvashaya. In abnormal conditions due to weakness of Agni, it gets vitiated and releases food in indigested form. When Agni is not proper the food will not be digested properly and this undigested food gets fermenta- tion and acts like poison in the body. It’s called Ama. Ama Utpatti leads to Grahani Dosha. Ag- nimandhya is important factor in the Samprapti of the disease Grahani Dosha. So it should be mainly treated for Agnivardhana by Drugs with Deepana (which enhances digestive power) and Pachana (digestive) qualities.

In the modern world, where a person is exposed to daily stress, increased physical exertion, the toxic effect of various substances, including drugs. The task of modern science is to find antioxidants for the body. These can be additives obtained both synthetically and the active substances that we get daily from food. Such a striking example is turmeric, obtained from the plant Curcuma longa. Recently, it has been known that curcumin has an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer effect and, thanks to these effects, plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of various diseases, in particular, from cancer to autoimmune, neurological, cardiovascular and diabetic diseases. In addition, much attention is paid to increasing the biological activity and physiological effects of curcumin on the body through the synthesis of curcumin analogues. This review discusses the chemical and physical characteristics, analogues, metabolites, the mechanisms of its physiological activity and the effect of curcumin on the body.

Asthma Symptoms

Difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath may be simply termed as Shwasa (Asthma), As per Ayurveda, Shwasa is mainly caused by the Vata and Kapha Doshas. Shwasa is broadly classified into five types in Maha Shwasa (Dyspnoea major), Urdhawa Shwasa (Expiratory Dyspnoea), Chinna Shwasa (Chyne-stroke respiration), Kshudra Shwasa (Dyspnoea minor), Tamaka Shwasa (Bronchial Asthma). In modern science Tamaka Shwasa can be correlated with Asthma, Asthma which is a chronic inflammatory disease of airway. In modern medicine there is no cure for Asthma, symptoms can typically be improved. In Ayurveda, Asthma can be effectively and safely manage the condition without inducing any drug dependency where Pachakarma procedures and use of internal medication detoxifies the body, provides nutrition and increases the elasticity of lung tissue it also develops natural immunity of the body thus decreasing episodic recurrence of the disease.

The concept of Srotas and Srotodushti Lakshana has been very scientifically explained in the various context of Ayurveda literature. Detailed Srotas and Srotodushti Lakshana are according to Charaka Samhita Vimansthana assessment of Srotodushti Lakshana can be done by Pratyksha Pramana and in detail explanation. The Srotas play an important role in physiology and the pathogenesis of diseases in normal state; they regulate the physiolo- gy of the body and maintain the anatomical structures of dhatus. The influences of aetiology factors on Srotas can affect pathological manifestations. Considering this fact present study explores various aspects related to the Sro- tas, Srotodushti and Srotodushti Lakshana. Objectives-To assessment of Srotodushti Lakshana in Artavavaha Srotas through Clinical, biochemical, and radiological examination in Artavavaha Srotas. Methodology -The study was conducted under two headings, conceptual and survey study. Conceptual study all the concerned litera- ture were referred and analysed and for survey study, the Artvavaha Sroto Vikara observed and survey through face-face interview. -Hence it is concluded that the knowledge of Srotas is not only used in learning about the anatomy of the transport system of the body but also to understand their physiology and pathology. It can be as- sessed through clinical, biochemical, and radiological findings. Keywords: Srotas, Srotodushti Lakshana, Artavavaha Srotas,

The Mind

“The knowledge concerning the sympathies and concordances between the mind and the body” saith the founder† of modern science, in discoursing of human philosophy, or the knowledge of ourselves, as he terms it, is “fit to be emancipate and made a knowledge by itself. The consideration is double: either how and how far the humours and effects of the body do alter or work upon the mind; or again, how and how far the passions and apprehensions of the mind do alter or work upon the body. The former of these,” (the influence of the body on the mental state,) continues Bacon, “hath been enquired and considered as a part and appendix of medicine, but much more as a part of religion or superstition. For the physician prescribeth cures of the mind in phrensies and melancholy passions; and pretendeth also to exhibit medicines to exhilarate the mind, to confirm the courage, to clarify the wits, to corroborate the memory and the like: but the scruples and superstitions of diet and other regimen of the body in the sect of Pythagoreans, in the heresy of the Manicheans, and in the law of Mahomet do exceed. … The root and life of all which prescripts is besides the ceremony, the consideration of that dependency, which the affections of the mind are submitted unto, upon the state and disposition of the body.”

In the modern science, the body is an object of interest not only to the natural science and medicine, but also the humanities. Of special interest, in particular, for the medical discourse, is the ethnic body experience. The paper reveals features of the body experience in the east-slavonic culture from the analysis of the mythological tradition. This experience is characterized by the pronounced interest and ambivalent attitude to the body’s life, natural body standards; and emotional intensity. The experience of the social body is of highest priority in the culture.

In Ayurveda, the term Tvak, Twacha and Charma are frequently used to denote the skin. Tvak is described as the organ which covers the external surface of the entire body. Tvak and its related diseases have great importance because these are easily noticeable. It is the first part of the body that is in direct contact with any harmful sub- stances or infective microorganisms. It protects the internal structures of the body from injury or infections and regulates the temperature of the body. Skin is also the beauty of a human being. Therefore, it should be protected from any abnormal conditions. Ayurveda Acharyas have described Tvak many years ago. They explained each layer of Tvak in meaningful sequences, its related diseases and measurement of each layer. They also explained that it maintains the normal colour of individuals and conveys the sensation of touch. Some topics of Ayurveda are easy to understand, and some topics become easy if we study along with modern science. So, for a proper un- derstanding of the concept of Tvak, it is very essential to correlate it with modern science and elaborate according to the modern era.

Agni is one of most powerful transformative principles of Ayurveda. Deranged Agni leads to the formation of Ama. Ama is responsible for causing most of the diseases in human beings. The disease produced, clinically mani- fests itself in form of various signs and symptoms. These signs and symptoms are the principal tools for a physi- cian to diagnose the disease and treat it promptly. On the basis of these symptoms, all diseases can be classified in Samavastha and Niramavastha. If an objective Parameter that could measure the severity of Ama is searched, it will prove to be an advantage for the physician, who could then catch the cause (Ama) and save patients from this harmful disease entity. A definite line of treatment of Ama can be planned after considering the symptoms and severity of the condition. Keeping this approach, the review is carried out to understand Ama from Ayurvedic and Modern perspectives. After reviewing it can be concluded that Ama has no direct correlation in modern science but can best be equated to 'toxins'. They may be endotoxins like enzymes, hormones, catalysts, etc. when these are unable to function properly or entirely, different metabolites are formed which are not acquired by the body. On further process these go on accumulating in different systems, affecting the normal mechanism of that respective system or exotoxins produced by some bacteria or micro-organism when they enter into the body.
