Ayurvedic Perspectives on Oral Health: Insights into Prevention and Management of Oral Diseases

Role of Ayurveda in Postponing Arthroplasty in Severe Degenerative Joint Diseases

Degenerative joint disease, also known as osteoarthritis (OA) is a common “wear and tear” disease. Typically, relentless repetitive motion deteriorates structural joints and causes inflammation is the underlying cause of this illness. Although it may affect any joint, it is usually seen in the hands, hips, knees, and spine. Bilateral hip osteoarthritis is described as a non-inflammatory degenerative condition of the hip joint that typically manifests in middle or late life. It is marked by acetabular dysplasia and growth or maturational abnormalities in the femoral neck and head. Pain experienced while moving or carrying weight is a prevalent symptom. As per Ayurvedic classics, the clinical presentation can be understood as Sandhigatavata in the initial stages and later as Asthigathavatha. Initial presentation includes difficulty in moving joints. Bony pain and joint discomfort are explained as Sakthi and Sandhi Shoolam and associated with Theevram balakshayam [severe weakness]. Internal and external applications of Sneha are the main therapeutic modalities explained in Asthi-majja gatha vatha chikitsa by Bruhathrayees. In Charaka samhitha, Ksheera, Basthi and Sarpi with Thiktha rasa Dravya are mentioned as the primary treatment along with Panchakarmas. Because it is the best of the four Snehas, cow's ghee was chosen for the study. According to Sanskaranuvartana, Ghrita has the ability to change in order to absorb the properties of things that are introduced while retaining its original attributes. Ghee's inherent property, oleate, settles Vata and Pitta while without raising Kapha. Phospholipid bilayers are the core elements of cell membranes. Molecules and ions are unable to directly get into or out of the cell via the lipid layer. We constantly need a lipid medium to go deeper. Asthi, Majja, and Sukra have been considered as deeper Dhatus in Ayurveda. The greatest administration for that is Samana accha snehapana. Degenerative joint condition can be effectively treated with traditional Asthigathavata Chikitsa.

A Systemic Review of Vegadharana on Cardiac Disorder

The term “Vega” means natural urge, and “Dharana” means suppression, so collectively, the word Vega Dharana means forceful suppression of natural urge. Vegas are naturally created in the body in order to maintain bodily equilibrium. Initiation of urges is a normal body activity through which unwanted and waste body products are expelled from the body. In order to facilitate the elimination of these substances, the body is equipped with Adharniya Vegas, which appears naturally. So it is very important to respond to these urges and not suppress them as and when they appear. In Ayurveda, it is broadly explained how suppression of urges leads to serious illnesses. The suppression of urges cause disturbance in homeostasis and lead to many metabolic disorders. Vega dharana as a Nidana is a unique concept of Ayurveda. Acharya Vagbhatta, in the Astang Hridaya Sutrasthana, stated that the root cause of almost all diseases is Vega udirandharane. In Ayurveda, Vegadharan of Adharniya vega is one of the causative factors of Hridaya roga. Today, cardiovascular disorders are the world’s leading cause of mortality and responsible for one out of every four deaths.

The patient was advised an Ayurveda-based low-carbohydrate high antioxidant diet of 1,000 calories daily for the first 12 weeks. This case report supports the relationship between an Ayurveda-based low-carbohydrate high antioxidant diet and atheroma regression in a high-risk coronary artery disease patient.

A REVIEW ON EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE THROUGH AYURVEDIC LIFESTYLE

Ayurveda is a comprehensive, unique science that encompasses all aspects of health. Ayurveda affirms health can be attained only if all the physiological parameters are in equilibrium with a healthy mind, intellect and senses. Mental health is an integral part of Ayurveda. Emotional intelligence curtains a big part of human intelligence that exteriorise the ability to sense, value and understand efficaciously, to effectively apply the power of emotions as a source of human energy.

Treatment of heart failure with low ejection fraction with polyherbs and panchakarma: A case report

Considering heart as a unique organ that regulates blood flow, Ayurveda places a specific emphasis on protecting the heart from numerous conditions that might lead to the development of various heart illnesses. It emphasizes the need of avoiding stress and promoting a diet that helps in boosting heart health.The role of Ayurveda in heart failure with low ejection fraction is discussed in this paper. Low ejection fraction, often known as low EF, occurs when your ejection fraction goes below 55%. It indicates that your heart isn't working as efficiently as it should. Heart failure is one of the major causes of early mortality associated with cardiac dysfunction. According to Ayurveda, all causes of Heart Dysfunction arise from the dysfunction of the rasadhatvagni, one of the causes of poor quality rasadhatu that aggravates heart disease when it is absorbed into the heart.In this case report, the 26-year-old female patient default rasadhatu caused heart failure with a low ejection fraction, which was treated using polyherbs and panchkarma in Ayurveda to improve heart function (low ejection fraction). Polyherbs are utilized to regulate systolic and diastolic dysfunction of heart.In the present case, default rasadhatu was reported cause of heart failure with low ejection fraction. In Ayurveda above discussed polyherbs and panchkarma treatment can correct heart function i.e. low ejection fraction.The Ayurvedic system of medicine thus proves itself to be an established one with significant scientific foundations and therapies that can be practiced alone or alongside conventional medicine.
