MIC of different extracts of PK and FB and its combination was determined. Results: The MIC of the PK water extract against Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) was 0.8 μg/ml. For Aa and Pg, the MIC of water extract of FB was 1.6 μg/ml and 6.25 μg/ml, respectively. The combination of PK and FB alcoholic extract was shown to have a MIC of 1.6 μg/ml. Conclusion: The presence of antibacterial activity could be confirmed in periodontopathogens species which were assayed in this study. However, the MIC for the species employed showed a very large range, and were mostly very high. Nevertheless, traditional knowledge might provide some leads to elucidate potential candidates for future development of new antibiotic agents.","PeriodicalId":13751,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141661682","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}

Materials and methods: Data is collected from search engines like Scopus, PubMed, Research Gate, and Google Scholar. Result: Among several herbs used, asafoetida and coriander are only herbs used in spices, medical and environmental well-being. In tradition medicine asafoetida and coriander is used in epilepsy, hysteria, dental carries, alcoholism, stomach-ache, flatulence and coriander in rheumatoid arthritis, emesis, indigestion, fever, conjunctivitis and indolent swelling etc. Aside of this, they are widely used as botanical pesticides since pharmacological researches has shown that they have insecticidal, larvicidal, insect repellent, ovicidal, and acaricidal properties. As compared to manufactured chemicals, botanicals are thought to be less hazardous to the environment and human health. Recently, neuroprotective, antidepressant/ anxiolytic, learning and memory improvement, insecticidal, larvicidal, insect repellent, antifungal, antimicrobial, anti-helminthic, gastroprotective etc properties are proven pharmacologically and biologically in animal models and humans.

Dental plaque is composed of the oral microbiota and accumulates on the tooth surface. Despite the development of numerous antiseptic agents to control bacterial growth, the issue of bacterial resistance has prompted scientists to explore new avenues. As the problem of bacterial resistance continues to grow, studies in this field become increasingly crucial. Medicinal plants offer the best resources for this purpose, and Melissa officinalis L. is one such plant. This study aims to determine the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of Melissa officinalis against bacteria isolated from the oral microbiota. In the study, 8 bacteria were used as the organism source, and Melissa officinalis was utilized as the plant source. The extraction of the plant was carried out using ethanol, methanol, and water. All extracts were evaluated for their antibacterial activities using the disk diffusion method. Antioxidant activity studies were conducted using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method. At the end of the study, the highest antibacterial activity was obtained from the ethanol extract of Melissa officinalis, with a 26 mm inhibition zone diameter against Staphylococcus epidermidis MBKK7. The highest antioxidant activity was determined to be 87.34% DPPH radical scavenging activity from the methanol extract of Melissa officinalis. As a result, it has been determined that Melissa officinalis exhibits both high antibacterial and antioxidant activities. It can be suggested that M. officinalis may serve as an effective natural protector against oral pathogens.","PeriodicalId":13751,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141660047","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}

Obesity is characterized by abnormal growth of adipose tissue due to enlargement of fat cell size or number which is expressed in BMI, 24.9 kg/m2 to 29.9 kg/m2 indicates overweight and >30 kg/m2 indicates obesity. Studies have been conducted on medications like medohar guggulu, navaka guggulu but Medohar Arka was relatively unexplored.

Group M was treated with Medohar Arka 15ml twice daily before food with equal amount of water whereas Group P was treated with Placebo 250 mg twice daily before food with equal amount water for 90 days.

As Ayurveda literature is Shaswat (eternal) which gives us a reason for the need to provide evidence or scientific explanation to support our literature. To make the world aware of Stanya Dushti, scientific evidences must be provided for other scientific systems to embrace the notion. Aim: To assess the quality of Stanya by examining its features as told in Ayurveda literature and its physicochemical properties. Objectives: To establish assessment criteria to assess Stanya Dushti through basic sciences. To assess the Stanya by observing the organoleptic property. Experiment with its physicochemical properties of protein estimation, viscosity, pH, value, and density. To assess the Dosha of breast milk by Jala pariksha(Dispersion method). Materials and methods: Observational study on breast milk of 60 lactating mothers collected from mothers coming for vaccination & OPD of MGACH&RC, PHC Salod, Wardha.

Mean values of pH, viscosity, density, and protein were found as 6.91, 1.64 cP, 1.02 gm/cc, and 1.72% respectively. Result: The breast milk of Shuddha stanya part was 38.3% and that of Dushti was 61%. The dominance of Dosha shows highly significance with Prakriti.
