The disease Pravahika is a Swatantra Vyadhi as well as an Upadrava of Atisara. Acharya Charaka mentions it as a symptom in Kaphaja Atisara and as a Vastivyapat. Susruta and Madhavakara have first identified Pravahika as a distinctive disease. Vagbhata has also explained about Bimbishi, which is a synonym of Pravahika. In developing countries, the unhealthy environment or environmental hazards, unhealthy food habits and occupation plays an important role in creating serious problems. Among this, Amoebiasis is a common communicable infection of gastro-intestinal tract, which has a worldwide distribution. Amoebiasis results due to the infection by Entamoeba histolytica. It is estimated that >480 million people carry the infection in their intestinal tract and approximately 1/10th of infected people suffer from invasive Amoebiasis. It was estimated that in 2010 Amoebiasis accounted for about 55,000 death worldwide.[1] The objectives of the present study is to assess the efficacy of Sangrahi Vasti and Kutaja Parpati in the management of Pravahika (Intestinal Amoebiasis).

Katigraha is a condition in which the vitiated Vata is localizing in the Katipradesha and producing stiff-ness and pain. These symptoms are similar to Lumbar Spondylosis. The degenerative changes due to aging or trauma, changing in lifestyle & work pattern, unhealthy food habits causing nutritional deficit etc., are causing Dhatukshaya and Margavarodha. Here Ashtavarga & Gandharvahasthadi Kashayas are taken to evaluate the effect on Katigraha. Totally 40 patients of Katigraha were selected, divided in to two groups equally. Group A treated with Ashtavargamkashaya and Group B treated with Gandharvahasthadi Kashaya for 30 days. In group A, 55% patients got moderate improvement and 40% patients with mild im-provement in group B, 5%got moderate improvement and 60% got mild improvement. It is concluded that in general statistically significant results were seen in both the groups. AshtavargamKashaya showed better efficacy than Gandharvahasthadikashaya.

Blastocystosis is symptomatic infection caused by the protozoal parasite Blastocystis , which resides in the intestinal tract of its hosts and it is one of the most common parasites reported in humans. It’s prevalence ranges between (30 - 50%) of the population in developing countries. This genus has a worldwide distribution and often the most commonly reported human intestinal protozoan in children and adults, even infect infants

Karshya (emaciation) is an Apatarpanjanya Vyadhi and Rasa-pradoshaja vyadhi.  It is the most large spreading health and nutritional disorder in developing countries. Karshya means person having lean and thin body character but doesn’t have any more complaints. Charaka has well explained clinical symptoms of Karshya as well he has explained causative factors in detail, viz., Aharaja (dietary), Viharaja (behavioural), and Manasika (Psychological). These all causes do aggravation of Vayu, alteration of Agni, insufficient production of Rasa dhatu along with other Dhatus which leads to Karshya. If the emaciated person is not treated properly then he/she gets suffered from spleen enlargement, cough, wasting, dyspnoea, Gulma, piles, abdominal disease, and the disease of gastro-intestinal tract. Karshya is better than sthaulya (obesity), a statement given by Charaka. Avoiding causative factors is Chikitsa. As well Charaka is well known clinician; hence to refer Charaka Samhita priory is essential. If causative factors are well known to affected people and reduced or avoided completely, it is useful to eradicate Karshya (emaciation) from society. Hence an attempt is made to review causative factors of Karshya from Charaka Samhita.

Active Formulation

Preservation of probiotics by lyophilization is considered a method of choice for developing stable products. However, both direct consumption and reconstitution of dehydrated probiotic preparations before application “compromise” the survival and functional characteristics of the microorganisms under the stress of the upper gastro-intestinal tract. We evaluated the impact of different food additives on the viability, mucin adhesion, and zeta potential of a freeze-dried putative probiotic, Lactiplantibacillus (Lp.) plantarum HAC03. HAC03-compatible ingredients for the formulation of ten rehydration mixtures could be selected. Elevated efficacy was achieved by the B-active formulation, a mixture of non-protein nitrogen compounds, sugars, and salts. The survival of Lp. plantarum HAC03 increased by 36.36% compared rehydration with distilled water (4.92%) after passing simulated gastro-intestinal stress conditions. Cell viability determined by plate counting was confirmed by flow cytometry. B-active formulation also influenced Lp. plantarum HAC03 functionality by increasing its adherence to a Caco-2 cell-line and by changing the bacterial surface charge, measured as zeta potential.Hydrophobicity, mucin adhesion and immunomodulatory properties of Lp. plantarum HAC03 were not affected by the B-active formulation. The rehydration medium also effectively protected Lp. plantarum ATCC14917, Lp. plantarum 299v, Latilactobacillus sakei (Lt.) HAC11, Lacticaseibacillus (Lc.) paracasei 532, Enterococcus faecium 200, and Lc. rhamnosus BFE5263.
