Human beings are required to maintain good mental health. However, we develop certain habits and behaviors, leading to a poor state of mental health. Such behaviors range from anxiety to depression. Low nutrient-containing diet, stress, lack of exercise, unhealthy habits (like the use of drugs, alcohol, and various other addictions), and lack of sufficient rest are risk factors for developing mental health issues. Mental illness is a crucial contributor to the burden on health-care service and affects many people in the world. The prime aim of Ayurveda is the promotion of health through the prevention and cure of diseases through positive physical and mental health through the concepts of Ayurvedic and Yoga practices. Achara Rasayana, Sadvrutta, Aasana, and Pranayama are helpful to maintain proper mental health and tackle mental health promotion and prevention of mental disorders. Daivavyapashraya (chanting of mantras), the performance of various Homas (sacrifice), Yuktivyapashraya (use of medicines and diet), and Satwavajaya (efforts to control the abnormal mental activity by the practice of Yama, Niyama, Asana, and Pranayama) are mentioned in ancient sciences such as Ayurveda and Yoga to treat mental illness and promote stress-free mental life.","PeriodicalId":13687,"journal":{"name":"Innovare Journal of Ayurvedic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89685144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Features include characteristic salmon pink-colored rash associated with lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and serositis. To the best of our knowledge, this is a rare form of JIA in India and very few cases without multiorgan involvement have been published in literature. The following case reports a 12-year-old male child who presented to the hospital with a history of spiking fevers and arthritis in the knees, ankle, and hip joints. Diagnosis of SoJIA was confirmed after subsequent laboratory investigations; treatment included long-term nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and methotrexate. However, due to increased cost of medicines and no guaranteed “cure” for the disease, the present patient switched from allopathic to homeopathic medicines. He still experiences frequent flare-ups associated with the disease, during which aceclofenac is taken for symptom relief. This case also highlights the importance of a “cure” for diseases rather than “symptom-oriented” treatment measures. When a cure is not guaranteed, patients may transition to inexpensive alternate therapies portraying limited efficacy. Further research in the field of rheumatology, specifically for rare diseases, is warranted.","PeriodicalId":13687,"journal":{"name":"Innovare Journal of Ayurvedic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78801657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
