EXPLORING AYURVEDIC APPROACHES TO LOW BACK PAIN: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

Introduction:Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder affecting individuals worldwide, causing significant disability and healthcare burden. While conventional treatments focus on symptomatic relief, Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, offers a holistic approach that addresses the root cause of LBP. This comprehensive review aims to explore Ayurvedic perspectives, diagnostic methods, therapeutic interventions, and herbal formulations for managing LBP. Ayurvedic Perspective:Ayurveda views LBP as a manifestation of imbalances in the Tridosha (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and the Saptadhatus (seven body tissues). Vata dosha vitiation is predominantly implicated in LBP, leading to symptoms such as stiffness, spasms, and radiating pain. Pitta and Kapha imbalances may exacerbate inflammation and structural degeneration, respectively. Ayurvedic diagnosis of LBP involves assessing the individuals Prakriti (constitutional type), Vikriti (current imbalance), Agni (digestive fire), and Srotas (channels of circulation). Diagnostic Methods:Ayurvedic physicians employ a combination of clinical examination, palpation, and pulse diagnosis (Nadi Pariksha) to assess the underlying doshic imbalances and identify the specific etiology of LBP. Various factors such as lifestyle habits, occupation, dietary patterns, and psychological stressors are taken into account during the assessment. Therapeutic Interventions:Ayurvedic management of LBP is multifaceted, aiming to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, restore musculoskeletal integrity, and prevent recurrence. Therapeutic interventions include: Panchakarma: Detoxification therapies such as Basti (medicated enema), Abhyanga (oil massage), and Swedana (herbal steam therapy) are utilized to eliminate ama (toxins) and pacify aggravated doshas. Ayurvedic Medications: Herbal formulations containing anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and muscle-relaxant herbs like Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Guggulu (Commiphora wightii), and Shallaki (Boswellia serrata) are prescribed to manage pain and inflammation. Yoga and Pranayama: Specific yoga asanas (postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises) are recommended to improve flexibility, strengthen the back muscles, and enhance prana (vital energy) flow to the affected area. Dietary Modifications: Dietary recommendations include consuming warm, light, and easily digestible foods, emphasizing anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon, and avoiding cold, heavy, and processed foods that may aggravate Vata dosha. Lifestyle Management: Adopting a balanced daily routine (Dinacharya), practicing stress-reduction techniques such as meditation and mindfulness, and maintaining proper posture and ergonomics are crucial for long-term management of LBP. Clinical Evidence:Several clinical studies have investigated the efficacy of Ayurvedic interventions in LBP management. A randomized controlled trial comparing Ayurvedic treatment with conventional therapy demonstrated significant improvements in pain relief, functional disability, and quality of life among participants receiving Ayurvedic intervention. Furthermore, observational studies have reported favorable outcomes with Panchakarma therapies and herbal formulations in reducing pain intensity and enhancing mobility in patients with chronic LBP. Safety and Considerations:While Ayurvedic interventions are generally considered safe when administered under the guidance of a qualified practitioner, certain precautions should be observed. Individualized treatment plans based on the patients constitution, doshic imbalance, and overall health status are essential to optimize therapeutic outcomes and minimize potential adverse effects. Additionally, close monitoring and periodic reassessment are necessary to track progress and adjust treatment as needed. Conclusion:Ayurveda offers a holistic and individualized approach to managing low back pain, addressing not only the symptoms but also the underlying imbalances contributing to the condition. By incorporating Panchakarma therapies, herbal formulations, dietary modifications, and lifestyle interventions, Ayurvedic treatment aims to restore harmony within the body, promote self-healing, and prevent recurrence of LBP. Further research and collaboration between Ayurvedic and conventional healthcare systems are warranted to validate the efficacy and safety of Ayurvedic interventions and enhance their integration into mainstream healthcare for comprehensive LBP management.

BRAHMI GHRITHA PRATIMARSHA NASYA FOR MEMORY: A REVIEW ARTICLE

Memory is the recalling of past information and retaining that information in learners. Memory impairment is a common concern among individuals of all ages, with implications for daily functioning and quality of life. The physiological actions of memory are regulated mainly by neurotransmitters and synaptic neurotransmission, among other factors involved. The involvement of neurotransmitters is evident in various diseases involving im-pairment of memory. Among the various components that impair the neurotransmitters, the involvement of the nasal microbiome is also one of them. Studies have found several commonly "health-associated" sinonasal bacterial taxa to be posi-tively associated with higher neurotransmitter concentrations and negatively associated with depression severity. In dementia-related diseases, the influence of the nasal microbiome is also noted. Hence, an ideal treatment targeting memory would be nasya. Pratimarsha nasya is mentioned as a procedure in dinacharya. Pratimarsha nasya has a preventive component for many diseases. This fact enables us to hypothe-size that it may influence the nasal microbiome and hence maintain the neurotransmitters, thus acting on memory. Brahmi Gritha Pratimarsha Nasya, an Ayurvedic nasal medication containing Bacopa monnieri (Brahmi), has been traditionally used to enhance cognitive function and memory. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of Brahmi Gritha Pratimarsha Nasya in memory enhancement. The data in our study also shows the influence of pratimarsha nasya on memory.
