Nyayas are those which take up a daily situation and explain the concepts of any Shastra. This makes the concept easily understandable even by low intellectual student. Dhatuposhana Nyayas are group of four Nyayas used to explain Dhatuposhana. These Nyayas help the reader to understand the hidden aspects in it.

The public health systems continue to face difficulties as a result of outbreaks of communicable diseases. It is acknowledged that changes in human behaviour and lifestyle are risk factors for the current public health issues, which have a substantial impact on wellness and quality of life. In addition to helping to prevent and treat diseases, leading a healthy lifestyle is essential for promoting overall wellbeing. Evidence-based methods for managing one's lifestyle have been made available by modern medicine, yet doing so successfully presents difficulties. The traditional practices of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Meditation appear promising as complementing methods to promote social welfare. The author puts up a fresh viewpoint and model dubbed \"Integrative Lifestyle\" that is based on data from both contemporary and conventional methods of lifestyle management. Ayurveda has made significant contributions to both the prevention and treatment of ailments. A healthy lifestyle might include behaviour that are outlined in depth in Ayurveda, such as Dincharya (conducts during the day), Ratricharya (conducts during the night), Ritucharya (seasonal conducts), Ahara Vidhi (diet guidelines), and Sadvritta (excellent conducts), among others.","PeriodicalId":486780,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ayurveda and integrated medical sciences","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140437495","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}

Agni is intended to be a symbol of wholesome life within the body. Its depletion poses a serious threat to life. It determines how much food should be consumed and also affects food digestion, metabolism, cell transformation and nourishment of tissues. It is crucial for determining the severity of disease and health. Agni is classified into 13 types: one Jatharagni, five Bhutagni, and seven Dhatvagni, based on its functions and site of action. The most significant is Jatharagni, which breaks down four different kinds of food into Rasa and Mala. The five Bhutagnis feed the Bhutas in the body by acting on the corresponding Bhutika part of the meal. Every Dhatu is divided into three parts by the seven Dhatvagni acting on its corresponding Dhatus. Thus, the two categories of goods that come from the full transformation process are Prasad (essence) and Kitta (excrete). The former is consumed for sustenance, whereas the latter is discarded because, if it remains in the body longer, it defiles it. Dhatu is either depleted or overproduced depending on whether the Agni rise or decrease. This shows that Agni has an autoregulatory and negative feedback system. The restoration of a well-formed Dhatu and the adjustment of Agni are necessary for disease treatment. Hence, our body’s normal physiology and pathology depends on Agni, mainly Dhatvagni.","PeriodicalId":486780,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ayurveda and integrated medical sciences","volume":"169 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140438165","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}

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Haridra Arka in the management of Dushta Vrana and to study the anti-microbial property of Haridra Arka. Methodology: A single blind clinical study with pre-test and post-test design. The 30 patients with diagnostic criteria of Dushta Vrana were selected from Muniyal Institute of Ayurveda Medical Sciences, Manipal. In Group A, the wound is cleaned and dressed with Haridra Arka. In the control group, Betadine was used for dressing. Wound management done once in a day. Duration of the study for 30 days or till the formation of granulation tissue. Follow-up done once in 7 days for 1 month. The data were graded based on the assessment criteria and were analysed statistically. Results: The outcome of the treatment after 30 days showed high statistical significance in parameters like depth, edge and exudates amount, and other parameters like pain, itching, smell, undermining, necrotic tissue type, necrotic tissue amount, exudates type, skin colour surrounding the wound and granulation tissue showed statistical significance.

As the struggle and difficulties in a person's life increase along with progressing on the path of salvation, he is suffering from very painful diseases due to not following the health- protecting diet and practices recommended by the famous people. Among these diseases, respiratory disease also holds an important place. This is seen more in the human community. From the study of various texts, it was found that Tindukaghanvati and Kulathaguda Avaleha are effective drug combinations for respiratory diseases.

The structures that we see in the universe is made up of some elements, same elements could be seen in the human body structure. Everything that is in the universe is also present in the human body. Charak Samhita named this principle as Lok Purusha Samya. When there are changes in the external environment, then the environment automatically tries to return to its previous state, similarly in the human body too, when there are changes in its internal environment, then the body again returns to its previous state. An attempt is made to bring the internal environment into equilibrium, the same phenomenon is called homeostasis. The preservation of the internal environment in response to changes in the external environment is known as homeostasis. Three elements - the sun, moon, and air - maintain this cosmos in the exterior environment. The three energies of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha maintain our body in the same way as the universe. Furthermore, the fundamentals of our body are Doshas, Dhatus, and Malas. Thus, homeostasis in Ayurveda refers to the state of equilibrium between Doshas, Dhatus, and Malas, which stand for our internal environment. This article attempts to review and explain the significance of Lok-Purush Samya Siddhanta in preserving the internal environment (homeostasis). This idea also applies to the concepts of treatment, which is nothing more than the restoration of homeostasis, the body's natural state.","PeriodicalId":486780,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ayurveda and integrated medical sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140440870","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}

Method: We enrolled 30 patients with OA who received Arthothermia® treatment. The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) was used to evaluate the treatment outcome. The five subscales of KOOS: Pain, Other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in Sport and Recreation (Sport/Rec), and knee-related Quality of Life (QOL) were scored separately. The KOOS data was calculated for the 30 patients before and after Arthothermia® treatment. Results: The KOOS before Arthothermia® ranged from 3.37 to 31.3. The KOOS was significantly improved after Arthothermia® and it ranged from 83.67 to 98.53. The difference in KOOS between before and after Arthothermia® treatment was calculated for the 30 patients as a group (unpaired t-test) as well as for each patient individually (paired t-test). The difference in KOOS was highly significant (p<0.0001) for both; unpaired and paired t-test analysis. Conclusion: The present study documented that the “Arthothermia®” – a unique Ayurveda treatment approach (combination of alkaline cautery and indirect micro thermal cautery) brought significant changes in KOOS in the OA patients in very short time duration. The promising data hold a ray of hope for better management of OA and needs wide explorations to bring magnificent outcome for patients suffering with OA.","PeriodicalId":486780,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ayurveda and integrated medical sciences","volume":"102 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140438147","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}
