Multiple Ayurvedic formulations are prescribed by Ayurveda physicians for Tamak Swasa . Vyaghri Haritaki is one such commonly prescribed poly herbal classical Ayurvedic formulation. A multicentre single-arm study was conducted at three Ayurveda Research Institutes in India to explore the effect and tolerability of Vyaghri Haritaki , a classical Ayurvedic medicine, on bronchial asthma ( Tamaka Swasa ). One forty seven patients between 18 and 60 years diagnosed with bronchial asthma showing a positive test of reversibility of airway obstruction were enrolled. Patients with peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) < 50% and/ or forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) < 50% of the predicted value and other major co-morbidities were excluded. 10 g Vyaghri Haritaki twice a day with lukewarm water was given for 12 weeks (84 days). Changes in the clinical symptoms (Asthma Control Questionnaire), quality of life (St. George Respiratory Questionnaire), respiratory function (peak expiratory flow rate and forced expiratory volume in one second), and haematological and biochemical parameters were compared before and after the treatment. Data of 142 participants were analysed which revealed significant improvement in PEFR [Baseline 301.7 litre/minute and 84 th Day 334.85 litre/minute (p<0.001)], FEV1 [Baseline 1.83 litres and 84 th Day 2.12 litres (p<0.001)], Asthma Control Questionnaire [Baseline 2.95 and 84 th Day 1.43 (p<0.001)], and the total score of the St. George Respiratory Questionnaire [Baseline 50.46 and 84 th Day 30.74 (p<0.001)]. No adverse events were reported during the study. Vyaghri Haritaki may prove beneficial in improving the pulmonary function, overall symptoms, and quality of life of patients with bronchial asthma which is well tolerated.","PeriodicalId":56294,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140442331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to explore and document the traditional ways of healing UTIs. The information was collected from selected tea gardens and data was quantitatively analyzed with the help of ethnobotanical indices viz. , use value, plant part value, family use value, fidelity level (%), and informant consensus factor. Antibiogram of four UTI-causing bacteria ( Escherichia coli , Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris and Staphylococcus aureus ) was also established by Kirbye Bauer’s disc diffusion method. Antibacterial activity of twelve mostly used plants like Cheliocostus speciosus , Equisetum diffusum , Saccharum officinarum , Elettaria cardamomum , Coriandrum sativum , Plantago asiatica ssp . erosa , Centella asiatica , Achyranthes bidentata , Carex cruciata, Drymaria cordata ssp . diandra , Nephrolepis cordifolia , Malvaviscus arboreus were assessed against the aforementioned bacterial strains. Drymaria cordata and Centella asiatica on comparative MIC and MBC study showed the lowest MIC and MBC value of 0.29 mg/mL each against Staphylococcus , representing their effectivity. Nephrolepis cordifolia with 100% FL showed the lowest MIC and MBC value 0.67 mg/mL each against E . coli K12. The uses of these plants known from the ethnomedicinal knowledge of the healers could be promoted as complementary medicine to treat UTI.","PeriodicalId":56294,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140445225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Sikkim and Darjeeling Himalaya is considered as one of the hotspots of diverse underutilized nutritious crops and vegetables. Though the earlier generation used those diverse traditional nutri-crops to fulfill food and nutritional requirements, their usage and cultivation have declined over the period. The new generation is not aware of the nutritional values of these local crops. In this context, the present study was conducted to document the traditional nutri-crops of Sikkim and Darjeeling Himalaya, and to suggest future policies for mainstreaming these traditional crops into the farmers’ existing cropping system. Participatory rationality analysis technique was conceptualized and used to understand the usage of different traditional nutri-crops in the region from a sample of 560 farmers. The findings revealed that the rationality index score of Ishkush ( Sechium edule ) was highest (4.66) followed by Chuche Karela ( Momordica charantia L .- 4.38) and Pumpkin ( Cucurbita pepo -4.37). The crops with highest perceived medicinal (4.86) and nutritive value (4.93) was Ishkush ( Sechium edule ). The major recommendation for popularizing the traditional nutri-crops was ‘Ensuring better price for traditional nutri-crops (81%)’ followed by ‘Start research initiative specifically on local unexplored nutri-crops to enhance their productivity (80%)’, and ‘Demonstrating the potential of indigenous nutri-crops in fighting malnutrition through extension agents (78%)’.","PeriodicalId":56294,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140444001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
