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. The data during the study was recorded and analyzed statically.

In Ayurveda, Gridhrasi is considered as one of the Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi having vitiation of Vata and sometimes Vata Kapha Dosha. The cardinal signs and symptoms of Gridhrasi are Ruk (pain), Toda (pricking sensation), Stambha (stiffness) and Muhurspandan in the Sphika, Kati, Uruh, Janu, Jangha and Pada in order and Sakthiuthkshepanigraha (hinderence in lifting of the legs). In Kaphanubandha -Tandra, Gaurav, Arochaka are present. The signs and symptoms of ‘Gridhrasi’ can be correlated with that of ‘Sciatica’ in modern terminology. Sciatica is a very painful condition in which pain begins in lumbar region and radiates along the posterior lateral aspects of thigh and leg along with difficulty in walking. SLR test, sitting test, Lasegues sign are helpful not only to diagnose the sciatica but also to assess the progress of the therapy. With reference to the management of Sciatica, in modern medicine, various modalities are available. These modern therapies have their own limitations and these management tools are not affordable for the poor, especially in the developing countries. Therefore, the choice of treatment commonly opens to reveal some effective, simple, safe and economic modalities. Total 30 patients were registered in this study. 15 patients were assigned to group A (Ajmodadi Churna) and 15 to group B (Ajmodadi Churna and Sahacharadi Taila Kati Basti). Each patient was examined thoroughly before treatment and observed keenly during the procedure and follow up.
