It encompasses modalities aligned with health conservation, disease prevention and treatment with its’ unique aspect of root cause elimination of the disease and concept of personalized treatment. Ayurvedic Self-Empowerment model provides userfriendly daily regimen of self-care procedures for the ‘daily precise detoxification & due rejuvenation.’ ‘Dhumpan’- Ayurvedic Herbal Smoking (quite popularly known as ‘Herbal Smoking’) is described within this ‘to do’ list as well as within plans of treatment. Ayurvedic Dhumpan is focused to detoxify, rejuvenate and empower foundational elements, perception centers in addition to organs of perception, mind, entire physique, and vital parts. It works as a preventative for emotional and seasonal outbreaks and indicated in various diseases, conditions including acute pain. It is observed that ‘Ayurvedic Dhumpan’ is commonly and currently seen as ‘Herbal Smoking’ in a limited context either as a substitute or as a de-addiction treatment of ‘toxic cigarette smoking.’ Ascertaining Classical Approaches of Ayurvedic ‘DHUMPAN’ is a need. Increasing rate of unhealthy practices like toxic smoking and decreasing rate of attentive communication towards awareness of its toxic effects and undue interpretation have a potential to hamper overall success rate in the management of community health. This research article presents detail research of scientific work on Herbal Smoking with an exhaustive literature survey, comparative study of Dhumpana description from greater trilogy of Ayurved and covers details of Ayurvedic Dhumpana. The objective of this article is to actuate Ayurvedic approach of total health, create awareness about distinctive approach of Ayurvedic smoking as well as its’ utility as a community health need. This article is aimed to fortify insights for the due perfection, systematization, upgradation and standardization in the futuristic aspects towards effective global administration of Ayurvedic Dhumpan. Revolution and validation in the versatile concept of Ayurvedic Dhumpan may have a potential to benefit as a community health need by keeping the various stakeholders in mind.","PeriodicalId":298121,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmacognosy & Chinese Medicine","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129945967","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}

It is generally believed that Lord Shiva is Adi Yogi. In the Indian Santana Dharma which also called Truth the yogic practices are inseparable and also indispensable. That is the marvelous beauty of yogic techniques. That’s why in the great Indian epic Mahabharata Lord Krishna tells Arjuna that He created this Universe with His Yoga Maya. All the Indian traditional spiritual knowledge were transmitted and taught to the Seers by Lord Shiva. The yogic asanas help the performers to sit properly for meditation. Prayer is outward appeal to Gods and Goddesses whereas the meditation is PURELY inner travelling. Prayer requires a deity but meditation does not need any Gods. The proper meditation leads the practitioner to Nirvikalpa Samadhi. In the Indian spiritual systems there are hearing, studying, watching and learning. Reading and learning are not at all similar or identical. The main thing is that even learning is not sufficient to attain spiritual peace, bliss and enlightenment.

{"title":"Ascertaining Role of ‘Agni’ in the Intervention of Health and Disease","authors":"S. Rajurkar","doi":"10.23880/ipcm-16000220","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23880/ipcm-16000220","url":null,"abstract":"All eight branches of Ayurveda encompass a common fundamental line of treatment known as Kayachikitsa, which literally means “treatment of Agni” (Kaya means Agni, Chikitsa means treatment). The classical Ayurvedic texts have postulated the role of a balanced state of Agni for sustaining life, imbalanced state of Agni for causing disease, and diminished state of Agni for leading to the diminishment of life. The Classics have designated critical terminology pertaining to relevant outcome criteria to explicitly express the significance of Agni in nourishing life and intervening health, disease as well as death. For example, Sama (balanced state of Agni) signifies traits of health; Dushti (imbalanced state of Agni affected by one, two or all the three dosha) signifies the diseases; and Shant (diminished/vanished Agni) reveals the cause and symptom of death. For diagnostic accuracy in the management of health and disease, practitioners should rely on assessments of Agni. Ascertaining the role of Agni is needed within any system of medicine, beginning with patient assessment and continuing through differential diagnosis of the disease, and therapeutic absorption of medicine to treatment outcome. Incorporating evidence of Agni strength into the diagnosis of disease provides vital information about treatment outcome criteria and recovery markers. Identifying Agni has implications for herbal combinations, pharmaceuticals used in Panchakarma (Pancha means five, karma means procedures, Panchakarma means five detoxification procedures), supplementary pharmaceuticals, and specific applications for clinicians, pharmacists and researchers. Further research into Agni may provide insights into autoimmune disease and sustainable health that could have been previously unrecognized by much of the medical community. This research article aims to break the language barrier by clearly defining classical Sanskrit words, providing authentic, approachable Ayurvedic information, and making such concepts accessible globally for both Ayurvedic and non-Ayurvedic scholars. Dosha are the Ayurvedic functional anatomical considerations; they have the ability to contaminate in an imbalance state. Vata, Pitta and Kapha are the three dosha; collectively called as Tridosha and independently can be addressed as dosha.","PeriodicalId":298121,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmacognosy & Chinese Medicine","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123767478","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}

Proton pump inhibitors [PPIs] are the drugs which have been tested by researchers in animal models and in clinical set up to treat DM. They appeared to be promising drugs to reduce hyperglycemia. They can be used as supportive drugs along with the primary anti diabetic drugs. PPIs enhance rebound gastrin release, increase beta cell mass and insulin release. They are not hypoglycemic drugs. They reduce blood sugar by increase in gastrin and GLP-1 levels, decrease in ghrelin levels, reduced appetite, delayed gastric emptying and enhanced satiety through action on CNS.PPIs are the inhibitors of organic cation transporters (OCTs) for which metformin is the substrate and hence the plasma levels of metformin are increased.

Despite the availability of triple drug therapy, its failure is quite common due to the high cost factor, adverse drug reactions and emerging resistance to antibiotics. This necessitates the need for discovering new drugs for treating H. pylori infection. Curcumin [diferuloylmethane], an active ingredient of turmeric [curcumin longa], has been extensively studied and proved to be effective in eradicating H. pylori infection, correcting gastric mucosal damage and to prevent or regress gastric carcinogenesis. Curcumin has strong free radical scavenging and anti oxidant property. It bears anti inflammatory and antimicrobial potential against H. pylori. Mechanisms of its antimicrobial actions are l) The inhibition of shikimate pathway by inhibiting enzyme shikimate dehydrogenase [SDH] resulting in to the failure of synthesizing aromatic amino acids [AAA]. folates and ubiquinone. 2) By inhibiting the assembly dynamics of bacterial profilament FtsZ. Curcumin has anti tumerogenesis potential through it’s anti inflammatory, antioxidant and free radical scavenging actions. Thus curcumin provides potential alternative or an adjunct therapy to treat H. pylori infection and prevent it’s complications.","PeriodicalId":298121,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmacognosy & Chinese Medicine","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127053686","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}

Microorganisms have existed on the earth for more than 3.8 billion years and exhibited the greatest genetic and metabolic diversities. They are an essential component of the biosphere and serve an important role in the maintenance and sustainability of ecosystems. Heterocyclic compounds are cyclic compounds with the ring containing one or more atom other than carbon. The fusion of pyrone ring with benzene nucleus give rise to a class of heterocyclic compound known as benzopyrone, of which two distinct types are recognized: Benzo-α-pyrone commonly called as coumarin. Benzo-γ-pyrone commonly called as chromon. In the present study involves synthesis of substituted 2-((4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl)oxy) acetamide derivatives. The synthesized derivatives were evaluated for antibacterial activity using two strains viz. Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 3160) and Shigella flexneri (MTCC 1457). The synthesized derivatives were also evaluated for antifungal activity using strain Candida albicans (MTCC 227). The antibacterial activity data indicate that certain synthesized derivatives, e.g. derivatives 7a, 7c, 7d and 7e exhibited marked inhibitory activity against the test organisms. The compounds having secondary amines exhibit a very good activity against Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria. The compounds substituted with primary amines had low activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria as compared to secondary amines. The secondary amines possessing bulkier alkyl substitution i.e. diisopropyl had better activity. The antifungal screening results were not encouraging or moderate. Compounds showed very less activity against Candida albicans. The structures of the synthesized compounds were established by IR, NMR and Mass Spectroscopy.","PeriodicalId":298121,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmacognosy & Chinese Medicine","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127969793","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 extension of the term of validity of the food products, as well as the preservation of their appearance for a longer period, is an increasingly common condition among food processors. Unfortunately, most synthetic preservatives are used, omitting the use of natural preservatives. The antiseptic potential of essential oils from different medicinal plants may be a natural alternative to the synthetic preservatives used. The daily stress that surrounds us produces in the human body a significant amount of free radicals that over time affect our health. To eliminate these free radicals we need antioxidants from the outside. A very good variant of consumption of these antioxidants is directly through the food we consume. Medicinal plants have a high content of antioxidants, and their use in our diet as volatile oils can be a solution. This review includes published articles on the antioxidant and antiseptic properties of essential oils from different medicinal plants.
