{"title":"VRISHYA AND VAJIKARANA - EXPLORING ANCIENT SCIENCE OF APHRODISIACS","authors":"Piyush Chaudhary, N. Lamba, B. Mehra","doi":"10.5455/JREIM.82-1432617971","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5455/JREIM.82-1432617971","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract: Introduction: Vajikarana is one of the eight specialities of Ashtang Ayurveda dealing with the management of pathophysiology of spermatogenesis and healthy sexual potentiation. This aphrodisiac therapy is advocated for various sexual and reproductive disease i.e., Klaibya or Erectile dysfunctions, Bandhyatva or Infertility, Shukraghata Vata or azospermia and premature ejaculation. Vrishya, a synonym of Vajikara, is the technical term indicating spermatogenic and aphrodisiac effect of a dravya (foods, herbs, spices and Medicinal plants) including audio-visual, socio-religious effects/ sexual behaviour factors/ constants). Currently, the importance of this branch has increased manifold, as more and more people are reporting to clinics with various disorders related to seminal parameters and sexual dysfunction. Material and Methods: Various drugs mentioned under these therapies were searched including scientific data pertaining to their efficacy and probable mode of action. The search was limited to Ayurveda classics, books and published works from pubmed as well as non-pubmed indexed journals including google scholar database. The present review is mainly focussed on brihatryi (Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita and Ashtang) for elaborate understanding of the concept of Vrishya and Vajikarana. The texts Sarangdhar Samhita and Bhavprakash Nighantu were searched for the drugs indicated as vrishya and vajikarana properties. Results: Analyses of the textual data revealed that Vrishya dravyas act as Vajikara also, but all Vajikara dravyas do not possess Vrishya property. This appears due to predominance of stimulant action on Sukravaha Samsthana in Vajikara dravyas while Vrishya has mainly quantitative and qualitative effect on Sukra. These drugs also act on higher centres of the brain which helps to alleviate anxiety associated with sexual performance as revealed by the published scientific data. Aphrodiasics also modulate the level of the pituitary hormones FSH and LH. The drugs possessing these properties have been tabulated in the text. Conclusion: Vajikarana is the therapy while Vrishya is the property (Karma) of the drug. Vrishya drugs are successful in treating conditions of reproductive disorders and sexual performance and they have an effect on pituitary-gonadal axis. Investigations in validation of these drugs will go a long way in management of infertility.","PeriodicalId":85736,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of research and education in Indian medicine","volume":"11 12 1","pages":"43-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87650032","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}

Srotas have been given a place of fundamental importance in ayurveda both in health and disease. This can be seen when the integrity of srotas is impaired, both sthangata and marga gata dhatu are involved, the vitiation spreads from one dhatu (body tissues) to another and all srotas are involved simultaneously. Charak has elucidated 11 pairs of srotas and their respective srotomoola in Vimana Sthana and Sutra Sthana. Hypothesis: It was postulated that if we treat the moola of a srotasa of a particular dhatu, without giving medicines acting directly on the disease, even then the dhatu pradoshaja vikara of that particular srotasa will get treated. Aims and Objectives: To establish the role and functional utility of srotomoola with its respective Dhatu Pradoshaja Vikara. Materials and Methods: An exhaustive study was done to review the inference of four clinical trials that were administered in NIA with the same principle behind to recapitulate the role and functional utility of srotomoola. All the trials prosecuted were randomized single blinded studies and three groups were allocated for the thorough conduction of these research works done. Out of three groups two were given drugs that acted directly on Srotomoola and not on the disease and the third group was given Vyadhihara medicines that were prescribed directly in context of that particular disease in classical texts. Result: Out of all the three groups in the trials all the groups showed significant results in the treatment of the respective Dhatu Pradoshaja Vikara. Conclusion: The amalgamation of Srotomoola Chikitsa and Vyadhi Pratyanika Chikitsa can surely augment the management propositions in Ayurveda in coming years.","PeriodicalId":85736,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of research and education in Indian medicine","volume":"18 1","pages":"39-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83802982","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}

Chincha kshara is one such kshara preparation, prepared from the plant Tamarindus indica Linn., and is indicated in Agnimandya (poor digestive power), Shula (abdominal pain), Gulma (abdominal lump), Mutrakrucchra (dysuria), and Ashmari (renal calculi) etc. The study was aimed for the preparation of three batches of Chincha Kshara and their preliminary physico-chemical analyses. Materials and methods: The preparation of Chincha Kshara was done by burning the wood of Tamarindus indica Linn. and dissolving the ash in potable water followed by filtration of dissolved ash to obtain clear fitrate, which later was concentrated by heating to get the Kshara. The drug was analysed for physico-chemical parameters including elemental analysis by Energy Dispersive Xray Analsis (EDAX). Results: There was 0.63% of yield of Kshara with respect to wood and 17.36% with respect to ash used. In physicochemical analysis, there was an average of 3.23% of loss on drying, 75.13% of total ash, and 0.39% of acid insoluble ash and an average pH was 10.2 showing it as strong alkaline. The elemental analysis revealed that it mainly contains oxygen, sodium, and magnesium. Conclusion: Chincha Kshara is an inorganic compund containing more of oxygen, sodium, magnesium and chorine with the lesser amount of silicon, sulphur, potassium and calcium.The yield Kshara with respect to the wood used is very minimal, even lesser than one percent and with respect to ash is less than twenty percent.","PeriodicalId":85736,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of research and education in Indian medicine","volume":"111 1","pages":"1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77861248","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}

National Rural Health Mission has finally implemented it on a countrywide scale in 2005. The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM)’s strategy of ‘Mainstreaming AYUSH and revitalization of local health traditions’ is mainly confined to co-location of AYUSH doctors in primary and secondary health facilities in many states while few other states have planned other activities that strengthen AYUSH services beyond mere contractual appointment of AYUSH doctors. Objective: To review the implementation of Mainstreaming of AYUSH and revitalization of local health traditions implemented under NRHM. Methodology: The research adopted a review based study. Secondary data were obtained from the web portals of pertinent Government departments such as Department of AYUSH, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and National Rural Health Mission, Government of India for the purpose of review. Discussion: ‘Mainstreaming of AYUSH and revitalization of local health traditions’ shows a great degree of colocation but issues related to AYUSH doctors and paramedics, strengthening AYUSH and revitalization of local health traditions, Training & orientation of AYUSH doctors and paramedics need to be addressed properly in order to justify mainstreaming of AYUSH and revitalization of local health traditions. Conclusion: Mainstreaming of AYUSH and revitalization of local health traditions should not only be limited to co-location of AYUSH facilities under the roof of allopathic facilities rather it should transcend beyond to address pertinent issues such as proper training and orientation of AYUSH workforce, universal recruitment policy, provision of drugs and necessary equipments, infrastructural correction.","PeriodicalId":85736,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of research and education in Indian medicine","volume":"52 1","pages":"1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77095850","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}

Dentists routinely encounter patients with dental anxiety and find difficult to manage such patients. Current allopathic medications used to manage dental anxiety have side effects. Aromatherapy is the use of plant essential oils for therapeutic purposes. These essential oils are applied on skin or inhaled and never to be taken by mouth. It has been found that aroma of lavender reduces current state anxiety. This is attributed to the ability of lavender to promote relaxation through autonomous nervous system. It has been suggested that essential oils like lavender act like agonists of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA has inhibitory effects of nervous system. Also, it is thought to reduce the activity of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Cypress, basil, jasmine, chamomile, juniper, rose, ylang ylang, neroli, marjoram, geranium, and clary sage aromas are also of benefit to reduce patients anxiety. Aromatherapy has been observed to reduce anxiety in dental office. The current article discusses the application of aromatherapy in managing dental anxiety to inculcate and develop research in this rewarding field.","PeriodicalId":85736,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of research and education in Indian medicine","volume":"39 1","pages":"17-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90582201","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}

Modern Medicine has gained the status of mainstream medicine and replaced Traditional Medicine (TM) to a large extent in almost every part of the world. This system of medicine is based on hard scientific evidence and primarily advocates reductionist approach to health and disease. Modern Medicine “makes it possible for us to draw precise picture of the internal workings of the human body, measure tiny metabolic reactions, exchange organs from one person to another, and even grow babies in test tubes” (XU Hao et al. Chin J Integr Med 2011 Feb;17(2):83-84). Modern Medicine has, in its armamentarium, the unparalleled range of diagnostic tests, highly advanced surgical procedures, and an ever increasing array of molecules effective on pathological sites and organisms. It has successfully reduced the prevalence of infectious diseases and significantly improved the quality of life of patients with chronic ailments. No traditional system of medicine at present can provide an alternative to Modern Medicine for its life saving methods and devices. One cannot think of an all-inclusive health facility running without the help of Modern Medicine. Despite all its glorious achievements and the place it has acquired among all other health systems of the world, the Modern Medicine has its own limitations. It fails to put due emphasis on preventive, promotive and rehabilitative strategies, and is unable to provide lasting solution for most of the chronic ailments. It seems that Modern Medicine is unable to provide comprehensive health care to the patients and is making them dependent on medicines in order to ensure their survival. People today, are increasingly realizing the limitations of Modern Medicine and are turning towards Traditional Medicine for their health needs. The volume of studies published on Alternative Medicine (AM), Traditional Medicine (TM) and Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)is growing day by day and so is the market related to these systems.","PeriodicalId":85736,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of research and education in Indian medicine","volume":"96 1","pages":"3-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73951593","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}

These educational programmes preferably require a prior understanding of hospital and public health issues but the same is not mandatory always. This is one of the major advantages with AYUSH graduates in India owing to their orientation in hospital and public health issues. Until recently majority of AYUSH graduates were limited to their own field of study with few exceptions in to the field of Hospital and Health Care Management. These days have witnessed a paradigm shift with the increase in information access, awareness about the job opportunities and a great degree of professional and personal satisfaction in this domain of work. This on the other hand led to a huge rush of these graduates into the field of Hospital and Healthcare Management. The placement and job opportunities are much more because of the rapid expansion of health care industry in India with endeavors from public and private stakeholders.

Following concept of bhootdaya, we can achieve our goal of positive health which is not just a disease free body but healthy mind, soul and society as well. In ancient India this was achieved with the help of vaidya/physician who practiced Ayurveda medicine with in highest medical ethics as find recorded in Charaka samhita and other samhitas of Ayurveda. Medical ethics have been an integral part of Ayurveda. Objective: The main objective of this article is to advocate and convince that medical ethics is not a new concept given by cosmopolitan/ conventional medicine but its vivid description is already available in all ancient texts of Ayurveda. We need to imbibe those values, set of traditions and work culture to further develop, publisize and practice the ancient Indian medical ethics in interest of mankind and thus revive the glory of Ayurveda. Material and Methods: We collected references from major Ayurvedic texts where the vaidya is considered most important of the Chatushpaad. 1. Vaidya (physician); 2. Upasthata (nursing attendant); 3. Dravya (medicine) and 4. Rogi (patient). The social behavior, mentality and morals of a vaidya (physician) are explained in Ayurveda and the prevention of quackery is also advocated. Physician was presented as a spiritual leader with impeccable integrity who worked for health of society without bothering about personal gains. Monetary benefit did not drive him to provide service to society but attainment of dharma and a goal of universal welfare was his motive . Multi factorial aspects of medical ethics related to religion and society are also mentioned in Ayurveda. Conclusion: Medical ethics have been an integral part of Ayurveda and its incorporation in present day medical teaching and clinical practice will yield great results. The noble profession of physician will be more respected if our time old principles of Ayurveda including medical ethics are followed in today’s era too.","PeriodicalId":85736,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of research and education in Indian medicine","volume":"2 1","pages":"197-200"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79222220","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}
