HARNESSING ANCIENT WISDOM: PAIN MANAGEMENT IN KATIGRAHA THROUGH MARMA CHIKITSA

Background: The Ayurvedic treatment known as Marma Chikitsa stimulates Marma points to treat pain and enhance general health. The effectiveness of Marma Chikitsa in treating Katigraha, a disorder marked by stiff-ness, limited mobility, and low back discomfort, is investigated in this study. Methods: Traditional Ayurvedic texts, PubMed, and Google Scholar were searched for relevant material. Results: To reduce pain and promote healing, Marma Chikitsa concentrates on stimulating particular spots, especially Katikataruna and Kukundara Marma. These locations line up with important anatomical features related to low back discomfort. Natural anal-gesia is thought to be produced by the therapy's release of endogenous opioids and anti-inflammatory chemicals. Comparative research suggests that Marma Chikitsa provides a non-invasive, side-effect-free substitute for tradi-tional anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications, which frequently have limits on their effectiveness and pos-sible negative effects. Discussion: Marma Chikitsa's holistic method, which emphasizes the equilibrium of Pra-na (life force), works very well for treating Katigraha. This therapy treats the underlying imbalances that lead to chronic pain disorders in addition to providing instant pain relief. Marma Chikitsa may improve pain manage-ment techniques and provide patients with low back pain with a full remedy if it is included into contemporary medical methods. Conclusion: Marma Chikitsa offers a viable substitute for treating Katigraha, integrating both short-term analgesia and long-term recovery. To confirm its effectiveness and make it easier for conventional medical practices to incorporate it, further empirical research and clinical trials are required. This might lead to better patient outcomes in pain treatment.

Understanding of Kaphaja Shiroroga w.s.r. to Sinusitis

Ayurveda, encompasses eight branches known as Ashtangas. Among these, Shalakya Tantra specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the Urdhwajatru-head and neck. Acharya Sushruta, a revered figure in Ayurvedic medicine, meticulously detailed the management of eleven head diseases, termed Shirorogas, in the Uttara Tantra of Sushruta samhita. One of these diseases, Kaphaja Shiroroga, closely aligns with the modern medical condition of Sinusitis based on its signs and symptoms. Kaphaja Shiroroga presents with symptoms such as a sensation of heaviness, mucus accumulation, stiffness, coldness and swelling around the eyes. Sinusitis, a contemporary counterpart, involves inflammation of the sinus tissues- air-filled spaces in the forehead, cheeks and nose. This inflammation results in facial pain, nasal congestion or discharge and sometimes fever, often triggered by a common cold. However, sinusitis can also be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or allergies. Classified as a Kaphaja Vyadhi (disease caused by an imbalance of the Kapha dosha), Kaphaja Shiroroga is treated through various Ayurvedic procedures, including Shirovirechana (cleansing of head), Kavala (gargling), Snehana (oiling), Swedana (sudation), Vamana (therapeutic emesis), Upanaha (poultice) and Dhumapana (medicated smoking). The choice of treatment is determined by the physician's expertise and tailored to the patient's specific needs. By following these methodologies, Ayurveda aims not only to eradicate the disease but also to minimize the likelihood of recurrence, thus promoting long-term health and well-being.

Ayurvedic treatment protocol in the management of pancreatitis: A nonrandomized observational study

Recurrent Acute/Chronic Pancreatitis (RA/CP) is a progressively debilitating disease with rising incidences in recent years. The limitations of conventional treatment, along with the psychological fear and financial burden associated with it, compel the patients to explore alternative options. In India, where traditional medicines are recognized as treatment options, a North India-based ayurvedic clinic has been treating RA/CP patients using an ayurvedic Herbo-Mineral Formulation (HMF) with a balanced diet and regulated lifestyle. The HMF is prepared using processed mercury, copper, and sulfur following the principles of Rasashastra. The HMF has demonstrated pancreatitis preventive properties in rat models and passed acute, subacute, and chronic toxicity assessments. This retrospective study enrolled 1750 well-diagnosed cases of RA/CP from January 1997 to July 2023. About 67% of the enrolled patients were nonalcoholics, 81% were nontobacco users, and 93% had no family history of the disease. The age group of 19–45 years represented the highest proportion of patients, with a male predominance (5:1). Nine hundred and sixteen patients with RA/CP completed 1-year ayurvedic intervention using HMF, without pancreatic enzymes. The ayurvedic treatment resulted in a significant 93% reduction in the frequency of pancreatitis attacks and a 97% decrease in emergency hospitalizations. The HMF has shown no adverse effects or toxicity in the treated patients. About 1.7% of patients experienced mortality during the treatment or follow-up period due to various reasons. The ayurvedic treatment protocol demonstrated sustainable effects, with the longest remission exceeding 26 years, and has brought a significant reduction in frequency and intensity of RA/CP attacks with an overall improvement in quality of life, warranting further randomized clinical trials to establish strong proof of efficacy.

Management of Guillain–Barre Syndrome through Basti (Medicated Enema) and Composite Ayurveda Treatment: A Case Report

Abstract BACKGROUND: Guillain–Barre syndrome (GBS) is a condition characterized by polyradiculoneuropathy associated with an immune-mediated response. Conventional therapies such as intravenous immunoglobulins and plasma exchange have been used to manage this condition, but they often result in unpleasant clinical and electrophysiological outcomes. The present case report describes traditional Ayurveda treatments, specifically Basti (medicated enema) and composite Ayurveda treatment, used to manage GBS. This report aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of traditional Ayurvedic treatments in managing GBS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this case, the patient presented with complaints of tingling and numbness in the bilateral upper and lower limbs for 2 months, weakness in bilateral upper and lower limbs for 1 month, inability to stand and walk, pain in the lumbar region, intermittent constipation, and dysphagia since 1 month. The patient was diagnosed with Guillain–Barre syndrome based on clinical findings, electromyography, and nerve conduction velocity test (EMG-NCV). He received treatment from a private hospital, but his symptoms were aggravated, so he was referred to Government Ayurveda Hospital Nagpur for further clinical management. Plasma transfusion was done at PVT Hospital 15 days before. He was treated based on the treatment principles of Vatavyadhi Chikitsa, Vata Dosha Upkram, and Santarpan Chikitsa. The primary goals of the therapy were to nourish the bodily tissues (Santarpan) and pacify the Pitta Dosha (Pittaghna). RESULTS: The patient’s electromyography and nerve conduction velocity test (EMG-NCV) results showed acute demyelinating sensorimotor polyneuropathy involving both the upper limbs and lower limbs. Compared to before treatment, EMG-NCV studies showed definite improvement in compound motor action potential (CMAP) amplitudes more prominently in upper limbs after 4 months of therapy. The muscle power grade increased from 0 to 5, indicating a significant improvement. The bedridden patient can walk alone after the completion of treatment. CONCLUSION: This case study reveals that Ayurvedic treatment has the potential for significant recovery in GBS instances.
