Hair shedding is part of a natural balance, where some hairs fall out while others grow in. When the balance between hair production and shedding is interrupted that is what we called, hair loss. It can be the result of heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions or a normal part of ageing. Anyone can lose hair on their head, but it's more common in men. when we talk about Baldness, it typically refers to excessive hair loss from your scalp. Hereditary hair loss with age is the most common cause of baldness. As far as Ayurveda is considered, it is described there by the name of Khalitya Roga under the heading of Kshudra Roga or Shiro Roga. whensoever we talk about it, it is a completely progressing disorder which is found mostly in all those persons who are indulged in sedentary ways of life, stress- induced hectic schedules along with indiscriminate dietary habits which in turn can result in any disturbance in the body which in turn can directly reflect in the form of hair loss. In this article, we will see how We can reduce & manage this rising problem of hair fall through Bhringraj capsule and oil along with Nasya. For this study, 31 patients with diffuse hair loss were instructed to gently massage the Bhringraj Taila daily onto the entire area of the scalp. Response to the therapy was evaluated at the end of four weeks. Evaluation of efficacy was done on the basis of improvement in clinical symptoms like hair fall, dandruff, itching, dryness etc. The present study thus showed a significant reduction in hair fall, dandruff, itching etc. (p < 0.001). There were no adverse reactions, either reported or observed during the entire study period and overall compliance to the treatment was excellent. Finally at last, it was concluded that Bhringraj Taila was found to be effective in alleviating Khalitya along with a significant effect on associated Keywords: Khalitya, indralopa, hair oil, Nasya, Bhringraj

‘Charaka Samhita’ an ancient text of Ayurveda emphasizes the cleansing of the body through Panchakarma. Today’s generation is out of touch with nature. Poor dietary habits, fast foods, no proper exercise regimen, stress and strain of daily life to compete and survive- these patterns have led to a lot of hormonal changes, and the agents that regulate the body’s mechanism have become poor leading to the spread of toxins throughout the body causing various diseases. As per Ayurveda, these toxins are called “ama”. This foul-smelling, sticky, harmful fluid needs to be completely removed from the body. This is done through Panchkarma, which is advised quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly to get rid of the toxins from the body and also to provide protection from different diseases. This process has twofold benefits – cleansing of the body and also rejuvenation, thus giving a youthful appearance to the body. Panchakarma includes five methods through which the body is detoxified –Procedure of Vamana (induced vomiting), Procedure of Virechana (induced purgation), Basti (enema), Nasya (nasal application), Rakthamokshanana (bloodletting). The three Doshas (vital physiological factors according to Ayurveda) in the human body that is - Vata, Pita, and Kapha are balanced, leading to good physical health and mental balance. Vamanaprocedure means induction of emesis. Through this procedure, the toxins are removed from the body especially through the upper body parts. Vamanaisthe best remedy for Kapha-related diseases. Most of the diseases today are due to improper digestion and metabolism (Agni). The cause is the changing lifestyle full of stress and anxiety. Irregular dietary habits add further to these issues. Diseases need to be uprooted from the base. Therapies like Panchkarma or particular therapy as VamanaKarma for particular Doshas like Kapha can be thought of on a regular basis as a remedy.

Cisplatin (CDDP) a potent antitumor agent suffers from severe toxic side effects with nephrotoxicity being the major dose-limiting factor, The primary mechanism of its action has been proposed to be through its cross-linking DNA strands. It has also been shown to inactivate various transport enzymes and induce hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia that may be the underlying cause for some of its toxicities. The present is an effort to study its influence on the parathyroid gland for any hormonal changes that control calcium levels in the body.Male Swiss Wistar rats (Crl: (WI) BR) weighing 200-300 g and of 60 days in age were injected (ip) with cisplatin (7mg/kg in normal saline). The controls received saline injections only. The animals were injected (iv) with calcium (0.5 ml of 10% calcium gluconate/day) and were killed by decapitation on day 1 through 5. Trunk blood was collected in heparinized tubes.

The current world situation is both frightening and alarming due to the massive disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The next few days are censorious as we need to be very precautious in our daily regimen as well as dietary habits. Ayurveda offers knowledge about food based on certain reasoning. Indecent food custom is the chief cause for the rising development of health disorders in the current era. In classical texts of Ayurveda, the concept of diet explained well, ranging from their natural sources, properties and specific utility in pathological as well as physiological manner. In this work, the review of the relevant literature of Ahara (Diet) was carried out from Charak Samhita and other texts, newspapers, articles, web page related to the same.  Every human being is unique with respect to his Prakriti (Physical and mental temperament), Agni (Digestive capacity), Koshtha  (Nature of bowel) etc. For that reason, the specificity of the individual should be kept in mind. Ahara, when consumed in the appropriate amount at the right moment following all Niyamas (Guidelines) given in Ayurveda texts, gives immunity and keeps the body in a healthy state during pandemics such as Covid-19. Ultimately, this will help the human body to maintain its strength for life. This article reviews the concept of diet viz. combination of foods, their quantity and quality, methods of preparation and processing, which are to be followed during pandemics and are essential in maintenance and endorsement of health and preclusion of diseases.

A roly-poly child obviously attracts many attentions but if the trend remains unchanged it could be a reason of worry as this is the primitive sign of childhood obesity which is the leading problem in today’s era. With continuous change in life style and dietary habits, child has become the victim of many diseases and obesity (Sthaulya) is one of them. There are and were some human activists talking about reducing the weight of study bags; but none is thinking about the weight our babies are carrying. In present era both parents are working, to earn the luxuries and amusements, so the kids are left with the food packets at home with idiot boxes to see some “de-shaped” cartoons resulting in the reduction of healthy nutritious diet and also reducing their body activity. The body weight of our babies is putting pressure on their “cuteness”, their “happiness”, their “emotions” and on their “being”. In Ayurveda it needs step by step examination and treatment to break the ‘Dushtasamprapti Chakra’ of Sthaulya by both non pharmacological such as Yoga and pharmacological remedies such as Panchakarma therapy, Shamana therapy etc. to achieve the goal.

AbstractTo describle how respiratory tract infections (RTIs) that occurred in children with allergic asthma (AA) on allergen immunotherapy (AIT) during an influenza season. Data including clinical symptoms and treatment history of children (those with AA on AIT and their siblings under 14 years old), who suffered from RTIs during an influenza season (Dec 1st, 2019–Dec 31st, 2019), were collected (by face to face interview and medical records) and analyzed. Children on AIT were divided into 2 groups: stage 1 (dose increasing stage) and stage 2 (dose maintenance stage). Their siblings were enrolled as control. During the study period, 49 children with AA on AIT (33 patients in stage 1 and 16 patients in stage 2) as well as 49 children without AA ( their siblings ) were included. There were no significant differences in occurrences of RTIs among the three groups (p > 0.05). Compared with children in the other two groups, patients with RTIs in stage 2 had less duration of coughing and needed less medicine. Children on AIT with maintenance doses had fewer symptoms and recovered quickly when they were attacked by RTIs, which suggested that AIT with dose maintenance may enhance disease resistance of the body.

Thermography is widely used in the medical field, including in the detection of breast disorders. The aim of the research was to characterize the range of breast surface temperature values, taking into account the entire area of the mammary gland and, independently, the nipple, in healthy women. An additional aim was to assess the symmetry of the breast temperature distribution (using an IR camera) and the correlation of temperatures with the content of adipose tissue. Thermograms were made for the right and left breasts, each time delineating the area of the entire breast and a separate area of the nipple, chest, and abdomen. Analyzing the intergroup differences in temperature of selected body areas (Tmean), it was shown that, in all cases, they were significantly higher in younger women. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences between breast and nipple temperatures in relation to the body sides. The highest temperatures within the mammary gland were recorded for the nipple area. The use of the high-resolution digital infrared thermal imaging method in early and screening preventive diagnoses of changes in the mammary gland requires individual interpretation of the results, taking into account the assessment of the physiological pattern of temperature distribution in both breasts.

Abstract Introduction Nephrolithiasis is pathological calcification in the excretory passages of the body and is prevalent among 7.6% of Indians. We aimed to study the various risk factors associated with renal stones from India. Method It was a hospital-based case-control study conducted over 18 months in a tertiary hospital in Delhi. Cases were defined as patients with renal stones diagnosed on the basis of history and radiological examination. Controls were similar to cases in all respects except for the diagnosis and selected from the hospital. A total of 18 risk factors, including age, gender, heavy metals, stress, metabolic factors, alcohol intake, dietary habits, co-morbidities, etc. were assessed. Logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate the strength of the risk associations. Results In the analysis of 60 cases and controls, we found 6 times, 5.5 times, and 2.4 times increased odds of renal stones in patients with increased arsenic, cadmium, and lead concentrations in blood, respectively. Similarly, there are 3 times increased odds of renal stones in patients suffering from stress. Conclusions Exposure to smoke, occupation dust, and contaminated water may lead to an increased ingestion/inhalation of heavy metals like cadmium, arsenic, and predisposing people to an increased risk of renal stones.

During the past two decades, there has been a significant growth of sociological studies into the ‘body pedagogics’ of cultural transmission, reproduction and change. Rejecting the tendency to over-valorise cognitive information, these investigations have explored the importance of corporeal capacities, habits and techniques in the processes associated with belonging to specific ‘ways of life’. Focused on practical issues associated with ‘knowing how’ to operate within specific cultures, however, body pedagogic analyses have been less effective at accounting for the incarnation of cultural values. Addressing this limitation, with reference to the radically diverse norms involved historically and contemporarily in ‘vélo worlds’, I develop Dewey’s pragmatist transactionalism by arguing that the social, material and intellectual processes involved in learning physical techniques inevitably entail a concurrent entanglement with, and development of, values.
