Due to present day lifestyle, a greater number of people are inclined to desk work and computer usage leading to many disorders. Manyasthamba is one among such disorders where the stiffness of neck with severe pain is the classical symptom which hampers our day to day life. While explaining treatment of Manyasthamba our Acharyas explained Rukshasweda and Nasya Karma as main line of treatment. Here a study was done by taking Gudashunti Yoga explained in Sharangadara Samhita indicated for Nasya and Kolakulattadi Churna indicated in Vatavyadhi explained in Ashtanga Sangraha for Ruksha Churna Sweda. A comparative clinical study of 40 patients suffering from Manyastambha were selected after thorough investigation. Patients were subjected to Nasya Karma in Group A and Ruksha Sweda and Nasya Karma in Group B for 7 days. Patients were assessed based on standard parameters before and after treatment and 7 days follow up. The statistical analysis revealed that there was a significant improvement in parameters like pain and stiffness. Hence proving the efficacy in the condition.

Nowadays, people are more vulnerable to metabolic disorders due to their faulty dietary and behavioural habits. One such disorder is Vatarakta which causes functional impairment due to involvement of Sandhi (joints). It is manifested by Ruk, Toda, Sparsha asahatva, Shopha, Raga, Daha and Stabdhata in Sandhi. Vatarakta can be correlated with Hyperuricaemia or Gout due to similarity in their clinical features. Hyperuricaemia is defined as abnormally high level of uric acid in blood (i.e. >6mg/dl in female and >7mg/dl in male). On the other hand, Gout is an inflammatory response to monosodium urate crystals formed secondary to hyperuricaemia. Aims and objectives: 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of Trikarshika kwatha and lifestyle modification in the management of Vatarakta. 2. To compare the effects of Trikarshika kwatha with and without lifestyle modification in the management of Vatarakta. Materials and methods: Raw herbs of the research formulation were collected after proper identification and Kwatha was prepared for oral administration. For the clinical study, total 60 patients were selected on the basis of selection criteria. Selected patients were randomly divided into two groups. (i) Group A: 30 patients were treated with Trikarshika kwatha. (ii) Group B: 30 patients were treated with Trikarshika kwatha along with Lifestyle modification. Individual patient was treated for 45 days along with follow up at the interval of every 15 days. To assess the effectiveness of treatment, scoring pattern was followed for subjective and objective parameters. They were assessed before and after treatment. The collected data were analysed statistically by using Paired t-test. Results: On the basis of all statistical data, it can be said that patients of Group B showed better results in all parameters in comparison to patients of Group A. Conclusion: Both Trikarshika kwatha and Lifestyle modification are affective but Trikarshika kwatha with Lifestyle modification is more effective than Trikarshika kwatha without Lifestyle modification in the management of Vatarakta.

Kasa is one of the Pranavaha Srothodusti vikara which hinders normal life. Kaphaja Kasa is a type of Kasa with Vata and Kapha as predominant doshas and present with Prabhuta, Ghana and Bahala kapha. Kaphaja Kasa can be best compared with Chronic Bronchitis. If left untreated it leads to various conditions like Swasa, Kshaya, Chardi, Svarasaadha etc. This signifies the importance of its early management. The present study was conducted on 40 diagnosed subjects of Kaphaja Kasa who were randomly allocated into 2 groups with 20 patients each. La- vangadi gutika was taken in Group A and Pippalyadi gutika in Group B. Medicines was given for 30 days and the data was collected from the subject at baseline, 16th day, 31st day and on 46th day (follow up). The result of the study showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the assessment parameters in both the groups from baseline. However no statistically significant difference was observed between the effect of Lavangadi guti- ka and Pippalyadi gutika in the management of Kaphaja Kasa suggesting that both interventions were having a significant effect on the condition.

Background: Asrigdara is one of the most common Streeroga mentioned in which presents with the complaint of excessive bleeding per vaginum. It is caused due to the vitiation of Rasa dhatu, from which the Artava is formed. Considering the Nidanas of Asrigdara, it is clear that the Kapha Prakopaka Nidanas and Pitta Prakopaka Nidanas pave the way for Asrigdara. Considering the symptoms, Asrigdara can be correlated to dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) which occurs commonly during the extremes of reproductive age. Objectives: To compare the efficacy of Shatavarigopakanyadi Kashaya and Vasadi Kashaya in management of Asrigdara. Materials and Methods: Randomized comparative clinical study of two groups consisting 20 patients in each group suffering from Asrigdara. Group A - Shatavarigopakanyadi Kashaya 50 ml BD with Anupana of Sita and Madhu, Group B - Vasadi Kashaya 50 ml BD with Anupana of Sita and Ghrita Duration of Treatment: 2 consecutive cycles starting from 5th day of menstruation in each cycle. Results and Interpretation: Both the groups showed statistically significant results for all assessment criterias. Statistically there was no significant difference in curative effect between the groups. Conclusion: Both Shatavarigopakanyadi Kashaya and Vasadi Kashaya has statistically significant effect in Asrigdara.

Menstruation is a physiological, natural event in the reproductive stage of the female. Due to a sedentary lifestyle and lack of self-care, stress, untimely food and other factors, many gynaecological problems occur and one of the most common among them is Dysmenorrhea. Painful menstruation is the most common cause which disturbs the mental state of the woman also affecting her day to day activities during the cycle. Pain is the Pratyatma Lak- shana of Vata vikruti mentioned in Ayurveda. Artava Nishkramana is the normal function of Apana vayu which moves in Pratiloma gati and obstructs the pathway of Artava. In our Classics, most of the gynaecological prob- lems are discussed under Yonivyapat. Udavartini Yonivyapat can be co-related and defined as painful menstrua- tion i.e. Dysmenorrhea. Considering the prevalence of dysmenorrhea in the present era, the trial drug Vrikshamlatwak kashaya which possess the properties such as Shoolprashamana and Vatahara was selected to evaluate its effect in the management of Udavartini yonivyapat.

Methodolo- gy: This research work was a randomized comparative clinical study of 40 patients suffering from symptoms of Udavartini Yonivyapat, who were randomly selected and categorized into 2 groups of 20 patients each. Group A was treated with Vrikshamla Twak kashaya and group B with Dashamoola Kashaya. Both Kashayas were given in Apanakaala (before food) with Sukhoshna Jala as Anupana.
