A successful health care service is primarily dependent on the proficiency of a physician having all the necessary qualities as mentioned in the ancient compendiums. Charaka Samhita being the most important text among all the resources of Ayurveda has given much emphasis on the various aspects of a Bhishaka or Vaidya(physician) -right from his basic qualities, advanced qualities, ideal role in healthcare service, his character and so many other things. Along with these aspects, this compendium also has elaborate description about various categories of physician -both ideal ones and the counterfeits. Along with health care system, as an essential tool for medical education, Charaka Samhita has also discussed the various aspects of an ideal teacher -his qualities, character and duties -which are essential for making a person a competent physician. All this ancient knowledgewill help us to understand better about the ideal character of a physician as it should be in today’s society.","PeriodicalId":431628,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal of Ayurveda & Yoga","volume":"23 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":"114585632","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}

Switrais caused due to vitiation of Tridosaand Dhatussuch as Rasa, Rakta, Mamsaand Medas. Switracan be correlated with Vitiligo. Vitiligo is described in modern medicine as an autoimmune disease which manifests as a white spot on the skin. Vitiligo is the most common pigmentation disorder affecting 1%-2% of the population worldwide. About 80% of Vitiligo risk is attributable to genetic factors, and the rest 20% is attributable to the environment.It is occurring in both children and adults and is considered the most common pigmentation skin disorder in the world. Vitiligo is considered a cosmetic problem, although its effects can be psychologically devastating, often with a considerable burden on daily life.","PeriodicalId":431628,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal of Ayurveda & Yoga","volume":"1 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":"129546418","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- Clinical trial was carried out in patients of 16-65year of age group having cardinal sign and symptoms of Grahani Roga. Routine Hematological & Biochemical, Stool and Urine investigations were done to rule out any systemic disorder in all the registered patients. Results- It is evident that the trial drug has better results and is significant and highly significant in all subjective parameters In Comparison of all three Groups, Group A showed slight better results in subjective and objective parameters than rest of the two Groups. Conclusion- Mandagni is the root cause of almost all diseases produced in the body (Roga sarve api mandagni). After the detailed study of disease Grahani Roga and clinical work; it may conclude that Mithya Aahara Vihara is the main cause of the Agni dushti, and finally for the disease occurrence.

These intensified doshasbecome lodged in channels, resulting in abnormalities or channel obstruction, which leads to a variety of illnesses. Blockage of channels is another key cause of disease, in addition to improper digestive fire and suppression of desire. The tissue elements or constituents undergoing change are transported to their destination via circulatorypathways. The term \"channel\" refers to the system of circulation. Contaminated diet and regimen are the cause of body and mind channel obstruction. The function and quality of the dependent tissues are disrupted or reduced when the channel is blocked. Increased flow of contents, obstruction, and the formation of nodules in the channels, as well as flow diversion, are all signs of abnormal channels. Blockage of channels might involve obstruction and the appearance of nodules in the channels.Metabolism is acontinual process that occurs in our bodies. The natural activity of the body produces free radicals during such metabolic changes, which are damaging to our bodies in the long run.

Mutraghata is a condition in consequence of some kind of Obstructive Uropathy either mechanical or functional; related either to the upper or lower urinary tract resulting in either partial or complete retention of urine as well as Oliguria or Anuria. Basti is one of the Trimarma which means three vital organs in the body, the other two are Hridaya and Nabhi. It is the most important organ maintaining homeostasis by regulating the excretion of metabolites and waste products. Renal diseases are the leading cause of comorbidity in the country owing to the late onset of alarming symptoms. The delay in diagnosing causes difficulty in framing effective treatment protocols for the disease.
