Management of Ekakushta (childhood psoriasis) through Ayurveda multimodal approach: A case report

Abstract Kushta Roga is a broad term used in Ayurveda to refer to various skin ailments. Ekakushta is a type of Kshudra Kushta caused by the Vata and Kapha Dosha. Its symptoms are quite similar to those of psoriasis, including Aswedanam (no sweating/dryness), Mahavastum (affecting a large region), and Matsyashakalopamam (scaling like fish skin). Corticosteroids are usually prescribed topically to treat psoriasis, although this only offers temporary relief. Ayurveda has effective treatment of Ekakushta using a variety of interventions; nevertheless, because of the disease’s complicated etiology, a multimodal approach is necessary. A 15-year-old girl with a moderate build has been complaining for the last 4–5 years about reddish-patchy skin rashes that cause pain, scaling, and itching all over her body. She also reported recurrent relapses. The symptoms pointed to the involvement of the Vata and Kapha Dosha, suggesting Ekakushta (psoriasis). Due to the disease’s tendency toward remission and recurrence, we undertook purgative therapy (Virechana Karma) for the purification of vitiated Dosha. The patient was administered Shamana medicines for Dosha pacification and a topical application following purifying therapy. A complete remission of symptoms was noted after Ayurvedic therapy, as documented by pre- and post-therapy photos of lesions. Furthermore, there were notable declines in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score (32.6 to 0), Adolescent Psoriasis Quality of life Psychosocial Impact (42 to 8 at the end of treatment), and Adolescent Psoriasis Quality of life Physical Symptoms and Treatment (17 to 3) after 6 months of treatment with no documented adverse drug reactions during treatment. Ekakushta (psoriasis) is extremely difficult to treat; nonetheless, a comprehensive pathogenesis assessment, appropriate purification, and pacifying therapy work well.

EFFICACY OF AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT IN ASTHIMAJJAGATA VATA W.S.R. TO ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS – A CASE STUDY

In recent decades, lifestyle has had a significant impact on an individual's physical and mental health. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a disease that poses serious challenges to the healthcare system. The human approach to life has created inconsistencies in our biological systems. Busy work, social life, bad posture at the office, physical activity and cramps while traveling - all these factors play a role in putting too much pressure on the spinal cord, causing back pain. how. It belongs to a group of rheumatic diseases known as spondyloarthropathy (SpA) and is a chronic inflammatory disease of the axial spine. This shows a strong correlation with the genetic marker HLA B27. Inflammatory back pain and progressive spinal stiffness are noticeable in the early stages of the disease, while chronic aggressive disease can cause severe axial immobility and deformity. In Ayurveda, the term Astimajagata Vata is used to refer to A.S. The concept of Ama with an imbalance of the Vata, Pitta and Kapha doshas is associated with the signs of inflammation and stiffness seen in ankylosing spondylitis. In modern medicine, there is no satisfactory treatment for this disease. Various Panchkarma procedures and Ayurvedic medicines have been found beneficial for these symptoms. We present a case of ankylosing spondylitis where the patient was considered to be suffering from asthma (asstimajagata vata) and was treated for 4 months using a combination of Panchkarma practices and Ayurvedic treatments. Assessment criteria were based on calculation of the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI). A total of two assessments were performed before and after 4 months of treatment. The patient showed good improvement with BASDAI. Improvements were also found in signs and symptoms of A.S.

Efficacy of Vasantik Vaman Karma (Therapeutic Emesis) on Oxidative Stress Markers in Healthy VolunteersA Pilot Randomised Controlled Study

Introduction: Vamana karma is a therapeutic emesis procedure recommended for maintaining health in healthy individuals. It is said to be conducted during the Vasant rutu (spring season) and is referred to as Vasantik Vaman. During this season, there is an aggravation of Kapha dosha, which can lead to various diseases. The bio-purification of the body in Vasant rutu through the Vaman procedure helps to detoxify and rejuvenate the body. To make this practice evidence-based, the present study was planned to evaluate the efficacy of Vamana karma, which is also considered a shodhana karma, in reducing oxidative stress. Aim: To compare the efficacy of Vasantik Vamana karma on Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) levels as markers of oxidative stress in healthy volunteers, compared to a non interventional group. Materials and Methods: The present randomised controlled study was conducted in the Department of Kriyasharir, Mahatma Gandhi Ayurved College, Hospital and Research Centre, under the auspices of Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education University, Wardha, Maharashtra, India, from March 2023 to April 2023 during the Vasant rutu. A total of 58 healthy individuals aged between 20 years and 40 years were sensitised regarding the procedure and benefits of Vasantik Vamana karma. After sensitisation, 30 volunteers who provided written consent for participation in the study were enrolled, examined and randomly divided into two groups: Group A (non interventional) and Group B (interventional). Both groups were assessed on the 0th day and the 15th day for oxidative stress markers, specifically free radicals (MDA) and antioxidant (SOD) levels. Statistical analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics, including Student’s paired and unpaired t-tests. Results: The mean±Standard Deviation (SD) age of participants was 21.23±0.37 years, with participation almost equal from both genders. Before the intervention, SOD and MDA levels were similar in both the control and interventional groups. After the intervention of Vasantik Vamana karma, Group B showed an increase in SOD levels and a decrease in MDA levels, which were statistically highly significant according to the paired t-test (p-value≤0.001) in comparison to the non interventional group. In the non interventional group, p-value=0.951 for SOD levels and 0.551 for MDA levels by paired t-test, which were not significant. When both groups were compared using an unpaired test, at pre-intervention, both groups were at the same level, but after the intervention, statistically significant results were observed in Group B (p-value≤0.001). Conclusion: The present study concluded that Vasantik Vamana karma, as a bio-purification process, Vasantik Vamana karma has proven to be highly effective in detoxifying the body by reducing oxidative stress in healthy volunteers.

A STUDY OF PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN BLOOD PRESSURE DURING VAMAN KARMA

This study investigates the physiological changes in blood pressure during Vaman Karma, a key procedure in Panchakarma therapy aimed at expelling vitiated Kapha dosha. Conducted as a clinical observational study with 30 healthy individuals (ages 20-40), the research monitored blood pressure at various stages of the Vamana process, including before and after Vaman Dravya Pana, after Hrullasa, during Vaman Vega, during Vegantaravastha, after Samyak Vaman, and after Dhoomapana. Findings revealed no significant changes in blood pressure before and after Vaman Dravya Pana, but significant variations were noted during Vaman Vega and Vegantaravastha. After Samyak Vaman and Dhoomapana, significant changes in systolic blood pressure were observed, while diastolic pressure remained stable. These results highlight the need for careful monitoring of blood pressure during Vamana to ensure patient safety and optimize therapeutic outcomes. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of these physiological changes.

Study of Hypothyroidism from the Perceptive of Agni, Kapha Dosha and Rasadi Dhatu

Thyroid gland is major endocrine gland which controls the cellular metabolism. Its secrets hormone mainly Tri-iodothyronine, Thyroxine and Calcitonin. Insufficient synthesis and release of thyroid hormones are term as hypothyroidism. References of hormone are not available in Ayurvedic compendia but that doesn’t make Ayurveda incomplete because Ayurveda has its own fundamental principles such as Dosha, Dhatu, Mala which control cellular metabolism. Balance state of Dosh, Dhatu, Mala and Agni along with balanced state of mind, soul and Indriya makes human being healthy. Root cause of all diseases according Ayurveda is decreased state of Agni which is called as Agnimandya (weak digestive fire). Agni regulates transformation and metabolism through Pitta dosha. Agni is categorized into three types - Jatharagni, Dhatvagni and Panchamahabhutagni. Though direct reference of thyroid gland and its hormone are not found in Ayurveda but Acharya Charaka has advised Vikaronama kushalo Na jivhiyat kadachana! nahi sarvavikaranam namatoasti druvha stheetihi..! Ch su.18/44. that’s name of disease is not important rather diagnosis of disease can be done on the basis of manifestation of symptoms. So, the symptoms of the hypothyroidism can be analysed on the basis of status of Agni, Kapha dosha and Rasadi Dhatu. Hypothyroidism involves impairment of various systems i.e., Strotasa. In this review article attempt has been made to unwind the unsaid condition like hypothyroidism by comparing with symptoms of vitiation of Rasadhatvagni and Kapha dosha with the help of Ayurvedic and modern literatures.

A single case study on Ekakustha (Scalp Psoriasis) with Ayurvedic Management

Ekakustha (Psoriasis) is non-infectious chronic inflammatory disease of skin characterized by well-defined erythematous plaques with silvery scale which have a preference for extensor surface and scalp and by chronic fluctuating course. The disease not only disturbs the patient physically but also interrupts the mental and social health of the patient. Psoriasis occurs when the immune system mistakes the skin cells as pathogens and sends out faulty signals that speed up the growth cycle of skin tissues of the body. Psoriasis is a multi-factorial disease that arises due to many factors such as genetic predisposition, local trauma, general illness, smoking, excessive alcohol, indigestion, and stress. According to Ayurveda vitiation of Vata and Kapha Dosha by dietary and lifestyle changes play a primitive role in the generation of chronic psoriasis. In addition to this, Ama, a variety of exogenous environmental stressors and genetic / epigenetic factors play a significant role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. These vitiated Doshas with and without Ama, in turn, adversely affect the skin and blood tissues as well. So, in psoriasis Vata, Kapha, and Pitta / Rakta vitiation are major contributing pathological factors in its manifestation. Here a 32 years old male patient came with complain of Shiro Kandu (itching on scalp), Kesha Patana (Hair falling), Darunaka (Dandruff), Vibandh (Constipation). He was diagnosed with Ekakustha (psoriasis). All the symptoms were resolved in 2 months. Psoriasis patient can get benefits from Ayurveda treatment like Takra Dhara and Shaman Chikitsa.

Shatyadi Dravyas is effective in break down the Samprapti of Tamakaswasa and Nebulization procedure can dispense the drug directly into the target organ through inhalation. Hence the study proves its effectiveness in restoring the vital capacity of lungs.

Analytical Review of Medadhatudushti in Prameha

Prameha is a lifestyle disorder, described in ancient medical science. It is a sannipataja disorder having predominance of kaphadosha and medodhatudushti. It is produced by the vitiation of ten dusya which include six dhatu, ojus and body fluids. Among ten dusya meda is prime dusya because of similar nature of kapha and meda. Various factors i.e. aharaja and viharaja nidana, increase kapha dosha which in turn vitiates medodhatu. Vitiated kapha affects the medovahasrotasa and medodharakala. Medadhatwaagni gets degraded resulting into improper formation of medadhatu. The abnormal medadhatu is responsible for obesity and prameha. It leads to the manifestation of many purvarupa of prameha & ultimately prabhutaavila mutrata. Assessment of medadusthi is very important for the early diagnosis and proper treatment of prameha.
 Keywords: Prameha, Medadhatu, Medadhatwaagni, Medadhatudushti

As per Ayurveda, the condition was dealt with as pitta kaphaja Unmada, where the anger and impulsivity were considered as pitta dosha vitiation and decreased self-hygiene, preferred to be sitting alone, as kapha dosha vitiation. The protocol was fixed on the basis of dosha assessment which included shirodhara, snehapana, virechana, vasti, nasya, shiropichu, and samana medicines. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) for schizophrenia was used for evaluation. The Interventions contributed to improvement in the patient’s symptoms prior to hospital discharge and there was also a significant reduction in the PANSS score.

A Case Study of Ayurvedic Therapies for Polycystic Ovarian Disorder

Background: Endocrinopathies are involved in the complex heterogeneous illness known as polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD). Although the symptoms resemble Vata and Kapha Dosha involvement, Ayurveda does not link the condition to a specific disease or syndrome. By addressing fundamental metabolic abnormalities and restoring ovulation naturally by accelerating follicle growth, Ayurveda cures polycystic ovarian disorder. The course of treatment for a PCOS patient varies on the patient's body type, underlying causes, and manifested symptoms. Case study: A 25-year-old woman who was visiting the Prasuti Tantra evam Streeroga OPD with her 28-year-old husband complained of dysmenorrhea, insufficient menses, delayed menses, acidity, hairfall, and general weakness. Her ovaries seemed polycystic in her ultrasound reports. She had sparse, painful periods every two days for 45 days with minimal clots. No obstetric history existed. For four months, the patient received Kuberaksha vati, Kalaonji powder, Rasapachak kwatha, Granthiraja powder, and Navayas Churna, with monthly follow-ups.The patient's menstrual cycle was progressively reset to normal, or 28 days, after treatment. Her menstrual cycle was getting closer together. Dysmenorrhea and clot concerns saw a significant improvement. Even her USG results showed that her ovaries looked normal following treatment. In conclusion, this instance demonstrates the value of customized treatment options for polycystic ovarian syndrome. Additionally, it highlights the value of Kuberaksha vati, Kalaonji powder, Rasapachak kwatha, Granthiraja powder, and Navayas Churna in lowering subjective as well as objective Polycystic Ovarian Disorder signs and symptoms. For further inferences, more extensive clinic trials should be conducted.

TO EVALUATE THE RELEVANCE OF MEDOSARATA IN CURRENT SCENARIO W.S.R. TO PCOS

Ayurveda is a living science with a big concern to follow the Siddhant of “Swasthsya Swasthya Rakshan.” The Ayurvedic concept of preventive aspect of health is very useful now a days as the people in the modern era are unable to pay attention to their health due to their hectic lifestyles & may suffer from a number of lifestyle disor-ders. Ayurveda proposed many measures to protect health. For the diagnosis & prevention of diseases there should be knowledge of Tridhoshas, Saptadhatus, Malas as well as an understanding of Sarata is also crucial. Dhatu Sarata is an assessment of body by examine the excellent and fine quality status of Dhatu. It is a component of Dashavidha Pariksha. Both physical and emotional health are impacted by Dhatu's Sara-Asara state, we can observe a dhatu's impacts on many bodily parts while it is in the Asar state. So, differ-ent kinds of lifestyle & metabolic diseases are caused by impaired Dhatus. PCOS is common lifestyle and meta-bolic disorders in female & is characterized by a combination of hyperandrogenism, irregular menses, chronic anovulation, hyperinsulinemia, obesity, polycystic ovaries, infertility. As per our classical texts, a few diseases may be correlated with PCOS like Pushpaghnijataharini1 (kashyap samhita), Aartavakshay2, Granthi, Bandhya3 yonivyapad, Sthaulya etc. The proposed pathogenesis of PCOS is as follows, due to Visham Aahar vihar Agni getting vitiated causing Agnimandya which leads to the formation of Aamras resulting Dhatvagni mandya. This Samaras dhatu vitiated the Aartava(Updhatu of Ras) & Kapha Dosha. METHODOLOGY: This papers content is based on Ayurveda classics with the accessible commentaries, textbook of contemporary medical sciences, and a number of articles to better comprehend the idea Medosarata, Mandagni, Mans-Medodusthi & the patho-genesis, symptoms etc of PCOS. RESULT: Thus, sedentary lifestyle is a precipitating factor for Dhatvagni Man-dya and Medodhatu Dushti in the pathogenesis of PCOS. Therefore, the purpose of present article is exploring awareness about lifestyle as well as the medical perspective of PCOS.

An inclination of Prakriti towards Obesity - An Observational Study

Sthaulya described as notorious disorder is mentioned by Acharya Charaka in Ashtauninditia Purusha. Acharya Charaka and Vagbhatta mentioned that Karshya (thin) is better than Sthaulya Vyadhi, however involvement of Vata and Pitta, cannot be neglected. Kapha Dosha is associated mainly due to its Ashrayashrayi Sambandha to Meda. In this study, we have tried to evaluate the interrelationship between Prakriti and Sthaulyta. More prevalence of Sthaulya in patients having Kapha predominant Prakriti pointed towards involvement of Kapha Dosha in pathophysiology of Sthaulya. Study also shows that people of urban areas are more obese than that of rural areas, because of unsystematic diet, junk food, lake of exercise, disturbed life style etc. Individual with Kaphaj Constitution have smoothness of organs and joints, clarity of complexion, firmness, compactness, and stability of the body.
