Abstract: Yakrit is considered as one of the koshtanga in human body. Yakrit is the moolasthana of raktavaha srotas which maintains the quality as well as quantity of rakta, formed in yakrit by the action of ranjakapitta on rasa dhatu. Liver being a multiple functioning organ in our body does the function of digestion, metabolism, regulation, detoxification, storage, synthesis and excretion. Descriptions are available in brihatrayis which explains the involvement of Yakrit in several disease conditions such as Pittaja Pandu, Kamala and types like Yakritdora, Yakrit vidradhi, Raktapitta, Madatyaya and Jwara. Yakrit gets affected. The global prevalence of viral hepatitis remains high, while drug-induced liver injury continues to increase as a major cause of acute hepatitis. Hence to tackle the hepatobiliary diseases, one has to enhance the concepts which are explained in classics in the context of above mentioned diseases.

Key Words: Yakrit vikara, hepatobiliary system, kamala chikitsa, annavaha srotas.

Autoimmune Hepatitis and Ayurvedic Perspective - Dr. Jaya Daptardar

$15.00 $10.00

Abstract: The liver is endlessly filtering and detoxifying the blood and it plays a significant role in digestion and metabolism. But the liver also synthesizes protein, produces critically important enzymes and hormones, breaks down and recycles tired blood cells, and regulates glycogen storage. As our primary organ of detoxification, the liver has the important job of protecting the deeper tissues from impurities in the blood that might otherwise cause harm. However, over-exposure to toxins such as alcohol, prescription or recreational drugs, environmental pollutants, and the like, has the potential to adversely impact the liver itself. The liver possesses a remarkable ability to heal and rejuvenate itself. This is something that sets the liver apart from other organs and tissues. But if we want the liver to repair itself efficiently, we must offer it periodic rest. This resource is intended to provide some practical guidance on how to encourage the overall health and rejuvenation of the liver—both in our daily lives and in more focused periods of cleansing and detoxification.

Biliary colic and calculi and Ayurvedic interventions - Dr. Sathyanarayana Dornala

$20.00 $10.00

Abstract: Gallstones are collections of solid material (predominantly crystals of cholesterol) in the gallbladder. The liver can secrete too much cholesterol, which is carried with bile to the gallbladder, where the excess cholesterol forms solid particles and accumulates. About 80% of people with gallstones do not have any symptoms for many years, if ever, particularly if the gallstones remain in the gallbladder. Gallstones may cause pain. Pain develops when the stones pass from the gallbladder into the cystic duct, common bile duct, or ampulla of Vater and block the duct. Then the gallbladder swells, causing pain called biliary colic. If gallstones cause disruptive, recurring episodes of pain, surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is only the option. Clinical experiences establish that Ayurvedic drugs along with dietary modification are an alternative to the surgical management of biliary calculi.

Topic: Clinical Diagnosis and management of Karnini Yoni vyapad with special reference to Cervical Erosion

Abstract: Ayurveda has two fold objectives. One is to maintain the positive Health and second is to eradicate the disease. Gynaecology is the study of woman but usage restricts it mainly to the study of female organs of reproduction and their diseases. Pregnancy is one of the most unique, exciting and joyous time in a woman’s life. After completing entire nine months of gestation period baby is delivered. Due to straining during labor in the absence of labor pains, the vayu obstructed by fetus, withholding kapha and getting mixed with rakta produces Karnini in yoni, which obstructs the passage of raja. Due to presence of Karnika ( a small muscular ball), this condition is termed as Karnini yoni vyapad by Acharya Charaka in Charaka Samhita, Chikitsa sthana, 30/27,28. Common symptoms are vaginal discharge with other symptoms like weakness, pain in back and calves, loss of vital fluids, the pruritis on and around the vulva, thighs and pelvic joints. It can be treated by combined effect of oral medication and local therapy. Use of shodhan varti, tampons, and uttarbasti, yoni prakshalana (douche) is the main treatment. Depending on the signs and symptoms Karnini Yoni vyapad can be correlated with Cervical Erosion in modern.

Key Words- Karnini , Karnini yonivyapad, Cervical Erosion

Topic: Exploring the concept of ancient clinical examination methods

Abstract: Acharya Charaka says that a physician can accomplish the desired results if he duly initiates action after having full knowledge of the subject. Charaka in around 2nd B.C. has elaborated scientific methods of patient examination. This approach to patient examination is very practical and scientific. Most important of all these Methods is a patient, who constitutes the site for the administration of therapies with a view to bringing about equilibrium in the Body. The patient should be examined so as to obtain knowledge regarding the span of life, strength and the intensity of morbidity. Because, it is on the basis of the intensity of morbidity that the dosage of the therapy is determined and the latter is dependent upon the strength or the power of resistance of the individual. Therefore, the patient should be examined with tenfold examination methods described in ancient Ayurveda Texts.

Topic: Ayurvedic Approaches to a Healthy Mind, Role of Sleep & Yoga

Abstract: Ayurvedic Approaches to a Healthy Mind, Role of Sleep & Yoga. Dr. Nagabhushan Moolky, Ph.D., C.N.S. Usha Kolpe, MD** & Arnav Shandilya*. Senior Scientist, Health Coach, Expert Witness, Independent Consultant – Nutrition & Toxicology, Oakbrook, Illinois, USA., **VA Hines Hospital, Maywood, Illinois, USA, *Neuqua Valley High School, Naperville, Illinois, USA.

From the beginning of Bharat civilization around 12,000 years ago, the scientific and philosophical analysis of the human mind and behavior and their effect on human health, happiness and evolution were revealed. Ayurveda, the traditional medical system (5000 years old), originally written by Charaka and Sushruta around 400 BCE describes diseases and treatment methods and medicines. Ayurvedic practices also include mental health – diseases, prevention and treatment. Yoga (12,000 years old) is one of the systems that prevent mind from unnatural deviations. Such a mind creates/enhances the chance of diseases and unhappiness.

Some religious and cultural practices were incorporated in our daily life, and are not recognized as Yoga: Performing prayer, surya namaskar (sequence of 12 asanas with mantras of gratitude to sun, the life force) and uddanda namaskar during puja or when seeing Gurus (teachers), elders, and parents. In order to be happy, we should show gratitude. In previous generations of education, students were asked to do bhaski as punishment (now labeled as Superbrain yoga). It is now scientifically shown that performing bhaski maintains the balance between left and right hemispheres of the brain, and thus normalizes brain hyperactivity. Yoga nidra is also a well known yoga sequence that benefits both body and mind with much needed relaxation.

Another relaxation form is Shiva asana, commonly and incorrectly labeled shavasana. Shiva means dynamic, while shava means corpse/no life force. Yoga is a dynamic action to integrate body & mind. The Bhagavad gita mentions “Samatva yoga”. This asana integrates mind and body and makes unity of life force with minimal activity. The performer is still alive and conscious, but is not stimulated internally or externally. These preventive methods are straight forward, simple, not time consuming and can be performed by all ages. Finally, there are ayurvedic diets, plants, and shastriya formulations that are also recommended and beneficial for mental health.

Definition of health in Ayurveda includes not just harmony in physical and physiological body but also a blissful state of the mind. Accordingly and appropriately so, Ayurveda adopts a psychosmatic as well as spiritual approach to well-being as well as disease alleviation.

Topic: Maternal epigenetics & fetal life programming of adult onset of diseases

Abstract: According to the Barker hypothesis, the period of pregnancy and the intrauterine environment are crucial and can influence the growth and development of the fetus as well as the child suture postnatal health to develop diseases like hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, metabolic disorders, pulmonary, renal and mental illnesses. The maternal lifestyle, particularly diet, exercise, smoking & exposure to infections during pregnancy, have an important role in determining the risk to develop diseases that manifest themselves both during childhood and particularly in adulthood. Several epidemiological studies have revealed that exposure to an unfavorable environment in early life is associated with a significantly increased risk of later disease, a phenomenon termed ‘early life programming’. Factors that adversely affect the gestational and early postnatal environment such as maternal diseases and their treatments, life-style such as nutrition and activity as well as exposure to pollutants can alter fetal development with persistent effects on health. Several risk factors including overweight, dyslipidemia and high blood pressure track from childhood to adult life, and are linked to adult diseases. Health promotion through Ayurveda during ante natal will help to create optimal intrauterine environment or proper growth & development of the fetus to reduce the risk o adult onset of diseases. Prevention must begin early in the life i.e., maternal and childhood stage in the form of a public health campaign directed towards lifestyle changes of the family / society as a whole.

Topic: Your Blueprint for Life with Ayurveda

Abstract: Ayurveda means the science of life and is the most ancient health care system in the world that is a complete system for managing all aspects of health as well as spirituality, including methods for increasing longevity, healing disease, cleansing the body, maintaining a healthy weight and spiritual development. So, what are we to make of it today? Don’t be fooled into thinking there’s no scientific basis for Ayurveda. On the contrary, what the ancient sages knew has been slowly proven through the ages. For decades, scientists have known the basic structure of our DNA. Although nearly every cell in the body has the same set of genes, why is it that different types of cells look and behave so differently. The answer is epigenetics, a rapidly growing science that focuses on gene specialization. But did you know that what you eat, where you live, who you interact with, when you sleep, how you exercise, even aging can change which genes can be turned on and off. Ayurveda has always known this. So, if we can reverse a genes state by diet and lifestyle, then we could theoretically cure cancer, slow aging, stop obesity and so much more. Curious to know how different foods and lifestyles can epigenetically influence health? Then let’s look at Ayurveda as science continues to catch up to this complete and life-transforming system of health maintenance, disease prevention, and cure.

Topic: Epigenetics and Ayurvedic Diet & Ayurvedic Therapies for Optimal health and reducing stress

Abstract: Epigenetics looks at the effect of various biological and environmental signals that could affect gene expression. A person’s choice of foods, chronic stress and lifestyle could be a source of epigenetic signals that could modify gene expression in adults and increase the risk for chronic disease states such as Diabetes and Obesity. Stress can also affect a person’s immunity. Stress has been implicated for its role in increased cortisol levels. Some recent studies are showing that that stress can cause new DNA modifications in the brain and increase the rick for neurological problems. The prevalence is on the rise for Chronic Disease states such as Diabetes and Obesity. Understanding the relationship between Epigenetics, diet, lifestyle and chronic stress could help in the identification of key factors to prevent or lower the risk for diseases such as obesity, and diabetes. Also Lot of the recent studies have suggested that consuming certain foods, herbs and spices may be able to modify our genes expression and influencing our health.
