It is a very chal-lenging disease affecting a patient during the most active period of his life, i.e., 20 to 40 years of age. The main features are anorectal bleeding with increased frequency of bowel evacuation, general debility and abnormal structural pathology in the descending colon, particularly the sigmoid colon. Modern medical science has no permanent curative and safe treatment for this disease. Thus, the following article discusses the method of treat-ment of the disease using Ayurvedic treatment by shamana aushadhis (Guloochyadi kashayam, Hinguvachadi gulika, Dadimashtaka choorna, Dhanvantharam gulika etc). Based on the signs and symptoms observed in the patient, a treatment protocol was advised. It can become a new way to achieve effective and safe care treatment and significantly improve a patient’s condition.\u0000A patient aged 64 years. The Male complained of pain in the abdomen, very bad-smelling mucous discharge in the morning while defecating, loss of appetite, feeling of swelling in the anal region, and pain in HIP bilaterally. Based on the patient’s condition, prakruti and samprapti ghatak (pathological factors) a treatment protocol was designed with the shamana chikitsa. The combination of various powdered herbs like Guloochyadi kashayam, Hinguvachadi gulika, Dadimashtaka choorna, Dhanvantharam gulika etc were advised to the patients with prop-er dietary instructions and restrictions. The treatment protocol effectively reverses the main symptoms, and it could be extended in future cases by using different combinations of drugs based on other Ayurvedic parameters to obtain even better results. It showed marked improvement in the patient’s condition. According to one’s Pra-kriti and combinations of various potential ingredients, diets and lifestyle recommendations, it worked on overall disease management. The management strategy was efficacious in improving the patients’ main issues. The case was treated with compound ayurvedic medicines over 3 months with remarkable improvement, which is evident. The outcome of this clinical study will reveal further the effect of ayurvedic medicine on IBD.","PeriodicalId":516622,"journal":{"name":"January 2024","volume":"1 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140508474","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}

Acharya Charaka says regular and proper exercise makes strongness and steadiness of body entities. Acharya Sushruta says people should practice physical exercise daily up to their Ardhashakti, i.e., half of their physical capacity. In Ayurveda, it is mentioned that excess Vyayama leads to severe complications, so during Vyayama, a person should follow Ardha Shakti Vyayama Lakshana. The Ardha Shakti Vyayama scale is needed to access the Ardha Shakti Vyayama Lakshana, so a study has been conducted to prepare the Ardhashakti Vyayama scale.\u0000Aim & Objectives: This study aims to design and validate the Ardhashakti Vyayama scale (ASV scale) in a sample of 50 healthy individuals. \u0000Design: A cross-sectional survey study. \u0000Methods: The Ardhashakti Vyayama scale has been designed and validated by reliability and validity tests like Face Validity, Content Validity, and Construct validity. The reliability analyzed by Cronbach's α coefficient I.e0.824 and KMO Bartlett's test value is 0.799. The Exploratory Factor Analysis was carried out using Kaiser's criteria for extracting factors with Varimax rotation. \u0000Results: Ardhashakti Vyayama Lakshana in this study sample reproduced the similar structure of the original Face validity, Content validity, and Construct validity met the standards, internal consistency was excellent with KMO Bartlett's Test value 0 .799 and Cronbach's α coefficient 0.824 which is highly significant.\u0000 Conclusion: The Ardhashakti Vyayama scale is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing Ardhashakti Vyayama Lakshana in healthy individuals.","PeriodicalId":516622,"journal":{"name":"January 2024","volume":"2 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140506919","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}

Dissection is the first milestone in the journey of being a doctor. Sushruta, the great sage surgeon, philosopher and teacher of ancient India, is renowned worldwide for his contribution to surgery. His conception of surgical instruments, description of quality, methods of manufacture and usage are unique, as there were no earlier com-prehensive descriptions of similar surgical instruments by any surgeon in India and the world.
