Bhaishajya Kala is an important principle in our classics, which is to be considered while treating a disease. During treatment, success can be achieved only when there is proper combination of Desha, Kala, Pramana, Satmya, Asatmya, Pathya and Apathya. [1] Among these seven, Kala is given second position which reflects importance of Kala in Chikitsa. The relation between Aushadha and Kala is well established in classics. Acharya Charaka states that “medicine administered at appropriate Kala is more efficacious than one given in inappropriate Kala. ”[2] To highlight its role in Chikitsa, there is a necessity to analyze this concept which is the need of the hour. With the intention of practically validating this concept “Janu Sandhigatavata” has been taken up for the study. Panchatikta Guggulu Ghrita which has been taken for the study is seen to have beneficial therapeutic effects on Sandhigatavata as evidently seen in the Phalashruti. [3] As Bhaishajya Kala is not specifically mentioned for any Vatavyadhi so also for Janu Sandhigatavata, this study intends to find the appropriate Bhaishajya Kala for the same. Among all the Bhaishajya Kalas, in the present study only two Kalas were taken up which were suitable for Janu Sandhigatavata. The clinical trial was carried out on 40 patients. They were divided into two groups Group A and Group B consisting of 20 patients each. The results were analyzed based on the signs and symptoms. Statistical analysis between Group A and Group B for the parameters Sandhi Shoola, Shotha, Prasaranaakunchanyo Vedana, ROM and VAS painscale found no significant changes in the group. Individually each Group had highly significant results. But in the observation parameter of Atopa there was a difference of value between the groups, Group A was higher than Group B.

Due to this lifestyle and improper diet pattern, there will be metabolic impairment leading to Amlata and Vidhagdhata of the consumed food. This is recognized as Amlapitta in Ayurveda. The Lakshanas of Amlapitta can be correlated with signs and symptoms of Non-ulcer Dyspepsia. The line of treatment as per allied science is life style changes, use of H2 receptor blocking agents and Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI). Long term use of these antacids has shown various side effects. The patients with non ulcer Dyspepsia will have regurgitation despite of adequate acid suppression by treatment. It causes significant economic impact due to the long-term management of the disease and costs of possible complications. There is a need for a better medicine which can counter such changes and can reduce Amlata and Vidagdhata of consumed food. Medicines explained in Ayurveda have the ability to do the same.

Sleep is a serious health ailment that affects millions of people. It is one of the most significant human behaviour occupying roughly one third of human life. Sleep occupies a greater portion of our life and is considered as one among the three Upastambhas of existence. Charaka has explained the management of Nidranasha (Insomnia) with both external and internal treatments. Presently people are not getting sufficient hours of sleep because of busy life schedules and overload, as a result of which, work hours have replaced time of sleep. Recent studies have shown that anxiety and stressful environment has created an imbalance in the physiological activity of the body leading to disturbed sleep and other anomalies. A Randomized comparative clinical study of 40 patients suffering with classical signs and symptoms of Anidra (Insomnia) of either sex divided into two groups viz. Group A - (Study group) - Treated with Pippali Moola (Root of Piper Longum) with Guda (Jaggery), Group B - (Placebo Group) - Acacia resin with a study duration of 14 days, including follow-ups.
