The changes brought by ama can be considered abnormal epigenetic modification. The internal pathology produced in the tissues, which is not visible but can be analysed through changes happening in the body, can be co-related to epigenetic changes. Epigenetics can be modified by different factors such as diet, lifestyle, behavioural changes, infection, pollution, etc., and the pathological changes in epigenetics brought by these factors can be considered as brought about by Ama, as the formation of Ama is also influenced by these physical, psychological and environmental factors. Hence, a conceptual study is done to analyse the relation between ama and epigenetics.","PeriodicalId":169675,"journal":{"name":"International Ayurvedic Medical Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139275748","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}

Bartholin’s cyst form when duct becomes obstructed with fluid. Further when the cyst becomes in-fected and if untreated, it develops in abscess. This causes irritation and pain during walking, sitting and during intercourse. According to Ayurveda it can be correlated to Yonikanda (Bartholin’s cyst), which was mentioned in Madhavanidana, where Yonikanda is described as disease of vagina presenting with protuberant mass like struc-ture which resembles Nikucha or Lakucha (Monkey jack fruit) shape. In present case study, A female aged 22 years, unmarried, occupation by student, came to OPD of Dr. BRKR GOVT AYURVEDIC HOSPITAL, complaining of swelling and mild pain in right labia majora since 10days. For this condition she took allopathy medicine for 5days but no relief. She has a previous history of the same complaints on left side of labia 1year ago, which was treated surgically. Considering all the factors this condition can be correlated with Yonikanda and managed by Aushada (Drug) which are Vata-kapha hara, Shotha ha-ra(Anti-inflammatory), Raktha shodaka(Blood purifier), Shula hara(Analgesic),Janthugna (Anti-microbial) properties.

In contemporary sciences, antibiotics, surgical draining, marsupialization, removal of Bartholin glands is only the line of treatment, whereas in Ayurveda it can be man-aged through Aushada, Sthanika chikitsa, Ahara, Vihara, Dinacharya (Daily regimen).

The present review highlights the traditional medicinal uses of Shigru (Moringa oleifera Lam) seeds. It is traditionally used as an anti-inflammatory agent, antipruritic, abortifacient, carminative, anthelmintic, antimicrobial, antitoxic and eye tonic. This provides the scope for researchers to conduct experimental studies proving the efficacy of it.
