Many studies have been conducted to evaluate treatment options for these conditions, particularly using herbal remedies. Complementary alternative medicines are extensively used in the treatment of type 1 hypersensitivity-related allergic rhinitis and asthma. There is a dearth of scientific evidence even though the Sri Lankan population uses traditional medical treatments to effectively manage these conditions. Aims and Objectives: To review the evidence-based recommendations for traditional natural plants with scientifically proven anti-allergic rhinitis and asthmatic activity in Sri Lanka. This review focuses on ten selected medicinal plants used by a traditional ayurvedic practitioner in Sri Lanka to treat allergic rhinitis and asthma. The selected 10 plants are: Piper longum, Clerodendrum indicum, Clerodendrum serratum, Zingiber officinale, Piper nigrum, Allium cepa, Aegle marmelos, Vitex negundo, Coriendrum sativum, and Curcuma longa. Materials and Methods: Therefore, to provide evidence-based recommendations for these traditional natural plants used, a comprehensive literature survey was carried out using PubMed® (U.S. National Library of Medicine, USA), Google Scholar, and Hinary© (WHO, Switzerland). Studies released between 2006 and 2022 were incorporated after two rounds of evaluation and shortlisting; approximately 450 comprehensive database searches were used to find study articles. Then after evaluating the papers' titles and abstracts and evaluating the relevant complete texts for eligibility, the systematic review comprised 54 empirical investigations. It was carried out independently by two reviewers. Results and Discussion: Herbal plant-based medications have several advantages: they are less expensive, have a long history of use, are better tolerated by patients, and have fewer or no side effects. These plants exert their anti-allergy effects by inhibiting various cytokines and interleukins and decreasing immunoglobulin levels. According to scientific evidence, Clerodendrum indicum, Clerodendrum serratum, Piper longum, Piper nigrum, Zingiber officinale, Allium cepa, and Curcuma longa are the most studied plants. The plants Vitex negundo, Coriendrum sativum, and Clerodendrum indicum have received the least amount of research of the selected ten plants. Conclusion: These plants exert their anti-allergy effects by inhibiting various cytokines and interleukins and decreasing immunoglobulin levels. In addition, these essential herbal plants can be tested experimentally to treat these common type-1 hypersensitivities linked to allergic rhinitis and asthma.","PeriodicalId":15252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine","volume":"122 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91340597","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}

The incidence increased due to the diversified daily routine, faulty food habits, and westernisation which affects the endocrine system, physiological factors and causes irregular menstruation, ovulation disorders, PCOS, fallopian tube blockage, endometriosis, hormonal disorders and uterine abnormalities which ultimately leads to infertility. Ayurvedic explanation of ‘Viruddhahara’ is a unique concept. Acharya Charaka has mentioned Shandhya and Santana dosha[1] while listing the diseases caused due to Viruddhahara. Viruddhahara impairs Rasadhatu which leads to dushti of its upadhatu Artava. Long term practice of Viruddhahara/Unhealthy food habits causes Artavadushti, which affects ovum, menstrual blood and ovarian hormones. Viruddhahara greatly affects the Garbhasambhavasamagri. Practice of satmya Ahara and Vihara can avoid multiple causative factors of Infertility like Beeja dosha, Artava or Shukradushti, different yonivyapats. Infertility is also caused due to Mithyaachara as a complication of obesity and other diseases.","PeriodicalId":15252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87060717","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}

Ear pain (Otalgia), redness (erythema) and edema are the most common symptoms found in localized otitis externa.

Karnashoola is described as a symptom and as a separate disease entity in Ayurveda. Acharya Sushruta has mentioned about Arkankura (tender leaves of Arka) in the form of eardrop to treat the Karnashoola. This paper aims to highlight the clinical efficacy of Arka patra (leaves of Calotropis gigantea Linn.B.Rr) in Arka (distilled product) form as Karnapichu (aural pack) in the management of localized otitis externa. Arka patra is selected because of its Katu rasa, Tikshna guna, Ushna veerya, Kaphavatahara and Shothahara property.

The recent report form data in the 2019, showed that around 7.9 million deaths and 187.7 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) are linked to dietary risk factors and NCDs [1] . this is an awakening alarm to the health community in food sciences, pharmaceuticals and preventive medicine towards adapting a natural food based lifestyle. These NCDs are mainly due eating junk food, and low intake of dietary fruits or fibers leading to nutritive deficient states and, later diseases [2] . The term nutraceutical (coined by 1989 Dr. Stephen de-Felice) is derived form a combination of two words namely ‘nutrition’ and ‘pharmaceutical’. It is defined as any substance that is a food or a part of food that provides medicinal or health benefits including the prevention and/or treatment of a disease. The food products that provide health benefits and aid in reducing the risk of chronic diseases apart from nutrition may be inclusive under this term [3-5] . There is a paradigm shift in choice of daily food, and related practices towards nutraceuticals, owing to factors such as low risk, potential value and, the therapeutic effects they seem to offer. The nutraceutical market is growing tremendously worldwide and is valued at 74.7 billion in 2020, from its previous value of 36.6 billion dollars in 2016 [6] . Given the importance of nutraceuticals, the changing trends in perception of people and, the growing industrial/ markets, it’s imperative to discuss the basic type of dietary supplements with medicinal values (general nutraceuticals) with implications of Ayurveda.
