Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease which causes the lining of the airways to become swollen and inflamed, which further leads to production of thick, sticky mucous. These changes further cause the airways to become narrow, making it difficult for the patient to breathe properly. In this study, efficacy of formulations like Vasavaleha and Kantakari Avaleha are studied in the patients of Tamaka Shwasa w.s.r to bronchial asthma. Tamaka Shwasa is a Yapya Vyadhi. The etiopathogenesis, signs, and symptoms of Tamaka Shwasa may be correlated with Bronchial Asthma. Each patient reacts differently to the factors that trigger asthma and are treated symptomatically. Asthma is the most common chronic allergic disorder in childhood and third leading cause of hospitalization under the age of 15 years. As it is a Kapha-Vata predominant disorder, Ayurvedic medicine may help to decrease the recurrence, improve immunity, and check symptoms naturally. With this aim, a clinical study was undertaken on two groups for a duration of 6 weeks. The Kantakari Avaleha and Vasa Avaleha were given orally, separately in both the groups. All the patients were kept under strict dietary control during the treatment. The observation on the effect of therapy was encouraging and showed less recurrence.

Tamaka Shvasa is described as a most difficult to cure (Yapya) among all diseases in Ayurveda. In present study Tamaka Shvasa is correlated with Bronchial Asthma because of its symptomatology is much similar with Tamaka Shvasa. In modern medical science, steroids and bronchodilators are mainly used for its management, but they cause certain side effects. Present study was undertaken to provide safe and effective remedy for Tamaka Shvasa through Ayurvedic medicaments. Shirishadi tablet was given as internal medicine for 30 days. Upto 60% relief was found in signs and symptoms of Tamaka Shvasa.

Difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath may be simply termed as Shwasa (Asthma), As per Ayurveda, Shwasa is mainly caused by the Vata and Kapha Doshas. Shwasa is broadly classified into five types in Maha Shwasa (Dyspnoea major), Urdhawa Shwasa (Expiratory Dyspnoea), Chinna Shwasa (Chyne-stroke respiration), Kshudra Shwasa (Dyspnoea minor), Tamaka Shwasa (Bronchial Asthma). In modern science Tamaka Shwasa can be correlated with Asthma, Asthma which is a chronic inflammatory disease of airway. In modern medicine there is no cure for Asthma, symptoms can typically be improved. In Ayurveda, Asthma can be effectively and safely manage the condition without inducing any drug dependency where Pachakarma procedures and use of internal medication detoxifies the body, provides nutrition and increases the elasticity of lung tissue it also develops natural immunity of the body thus decreasing episodic recurrence of the disease.

Regular periods are necessary to maintain good health of women. Any abnormality in Rituchakra leads to excessive and irregular uterine bleeding which is known as Asrigdara which can be correlated to Abnormal Uterine bleeding. In Ayurvedic text, many preparations are described to treat Asrigdara. Samshodhan therapy is mainstay in the management of Artava related disorders of which Basti is supreme to manage Asrigdara. In conventional science, Hormonal therapy is given but chances of recurrence of the disease are high. This study was planned to provide simple, safe, non- hormonal drug for the patients of Asrigdara. Total 40 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected randomly from Dept. of Stree roga and Prasuti tantra O.P.D.and I.P.D. The total effect of drug was evaluated on the basis of signs and symptoms after completion of therapy. Overall effect of therapy shows in group-I 6 (60%) patients were markedly improved, 11 (61.11%) were partially improved and 1 (5.6%) was not improved and group II- 6 (33.33%) patients were cured, 9 (50%) were markedly improved, 2 (11.1%) were partially improved, and 1 (5.6%) was unimproved. Thus, Basti Chikitsa manifested promising results for the management of Asrigdara, although hormonal pill manifested better cycle but for shorter duration.

A survey of 158 children aged 4-7 years living in a chronic aerogenic low-level exposition to acrolein and formaldehyde was carried out. 82.3 % of children with high blood levels of acrolein and formaldehyde are diagnosed with respiratory diseases. Every second child has a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa, including 29.1 % of allergic rhinitis, which are manifested by complaints of nasal breathing, not related to seasonality, nasal eosinophilia and the presence of nasal obstruction. In 6.3 % of children living in a chronic low-level exposition to acrolein and formaldehyde, the presence of bronchial asthma, manifested by signs of peripheral obstruction, was revealed.

Ayurveda classics mentioned various types of Swasa and Tamaka Swasa is one among them. Tamakaswasa is manifested by aggravated Pranavayu by the obstruction of Kapha. In this case treatment should be to clear out Pranavaha srotas, pacify Vata and remove the blockage due to Kapha. In modern science Tamaka Swasa is correlated with Bronchial Asthma. It’s a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which the chronic inflammation causes an associated increase in airway hyper responsiveness that leads to recurrent episodes of asthmatic exacerbation. Modern science has no permanent cure of Tamaka Swasa, that’s why it is necessity to search herbal and herbo-mineral preparations for the treatment of disease. Present Study was conducted to reduce the symptoms of Tamakaswasa. Bharangyadi Choorna and Vyaghri Choorna have the properties of Kapha Vata hara, Agni Deepana, Pachana, Anulomana, Srotoshodhana, anti-asthamatic and anti-inflammatory property. Materials and Method: Patients who have symptoms of Tamakaswasa fulfill the inclusion criteria were given with Bharangyadi Choorna 4gm thrice a day along with Ardraka Swarasa as Anupana in the trail group i.e., group A and Vyaghri Choorna 4gm thrice a day along with honey as Anupana in the control group i.e. group B. It is a comparative clinical study with 30 patients in each group for 30 days. Analyzing the signs and symptoms, PEFR after each 10 days, Wilcoxon test was done for comparing the effectiveness of treatment between two groups. Comparative analysis of the overall effect of the treatments in both the groups was done by statistically done by Mann-Whitney test. Results: There was statistically significant change in all the signs and symptoms and PEFR after treatment and follow up. All the signs and symptoms have P ≤ 0.05. Conclusion: Bharangyadi Choorna has shown highly significant reduction in the symptoms like Swasakrichratha, Peenasa, Kasa, Ghurghuraka, Krichrabhashana, Shushkasya and PEFR. On comparison between the two groups, Bharangyadi choorna showed a better result in improvement of symptoms- Swasakrichratha, Peenasa, Kasa, Ghurghuraka, Krichrabhashana, Shushkasya and objective parameter- PEFR. Hence H2 hold good.

Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a potentially disabling chronic inflammatory disease. The intermammary location, not clearly specified in the usual phenotypic classifications, entails significant functional and cosmetic compromise. Case Presentation: Eleven cases of predominantly intermammary disease with multiple fistulization and disfiguring scarring were observed at our Department between January 2016 and March 2020. They were young (mean age = 22 years) obese or overweight women, in which the medical-surgical approach has led to variable results. Discussion/Conclusion: Intermammary HS possibly represents a unique phenotypic presentation, likely to be fistulizing and severe. We believe that anatomo-functional considerations, which can be paralleled to pilonidal sinus disease, contribute to its pathophysiology and striking appearance, and further emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary endeavor to reduce the morbidity associated with this seemingly overlooked location.
