Background and Objectives: Tamaka Swasa is a form of Swasa Roga primarily affecting the Pranavaha Srotas characterized by Swasakrichratha, Ghurghuraka, Teevra vega Swasa etc. Tamaka Swasa in Ayurvedic classics appears to be similar to Bronchial Asthma. Several medications are available in today’s medical system to treat this disease, but they are known to cause a variety of side effects. Hence, the suffering population is turning to conventional remedies for better relief. In this regard, Ayurveda can provide promising results in Tamaka Swasa with varieties of treatment modalities. In light of these considerations, the aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of two Ayurvedic formulations Satyadi Churna listed in Swasakarmavipaka adhyaya in Brihat Nighantu Ratnakara and Vyaghri Churna mentioned in Curnakalpana Adhyaya in Sharangdhara Samhita in the treatment of mild to moderate Bronchial Asthma. Materials and Methods: 40 Tamaka Swasa Subjects were selected those fulfilling the diagnostic and inclusion criteria. They were randomly assigned into two equal groups. Comparative analysis of the overall effect of the treatments in both the Groups was done statistically with Mann- Whitney Rank Sum Test and within the Group comparison with Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: Within the group comparison showed statistically significant results for all the criteria in Group A while in Group B except Peenasa all other criteria showed statistically significant results. Conclusion: When comparing both groups Satyadi Churna showed better improvement in the symptoms of Tamaka Swasa than Vyaghri Churna. Hence H1 holds good and proved. Keywords: Tamaka Swasa, Bronchial Asthma, Satyadi Churna, Vyaghri Churna, Peak flow meter.

Vicharchika is one of Kushtha included under Rakta Pradoshaja Vikaras, recurrent and chronic in nature. Modern dermatologists use topical therapy such as topical corticosteroid; topical emollients etc. to give symptomatic relief but it cost in severe long-term toxicity, skin irritation and may cause skin cancer. In Ayurvedic texts, there are hundreds of medicaments as a successful and safer remedy for the chronic der-ma problems including Vicharchika. Acharya Sharangdhar had depicted one such formulation “Ark Taila” for treating Vicharchika. Sneha Siddha drugs have better pharmacokinetics action in comparison to other dosage form because of the lipid nature of bio- membrane, as lipid soluble substances readily perme-ate into cells. Aim and Objective: To compare the efficacy of Ark Taila and Ark cream application in the management of Vicharchika. Materials and Methods: In this study, 30 patients of Vicharchika were se-lected and randomly allocated into two groups. In group A, Ark Taila (n = 15), and in group B Ark cream (n = 15) was given to patients for local application. Patients were assessed for relief in signs and symptoms at interval for fifteen days for sixty days. Results: Patients of group A has maximum relief in sign and symp-toms of Vicharchika in comparison of group B. Conclusion: The study concluded that Ark Taila is an ef-fective formulation of choice for the management of Vicharchika as compared to Ark cream.

Background: Gridhrasi can be correlated with sciatica which is a severe painful condition where back pain and radiating pain of the legs are found together on the basis of symptoms. In the treatment of sciatica only symptomatic management and a very few surgical procedures are available in conventional medical science with their own limits. Various methods used for Gridhrasi treatment in Ayurveda but para-surgical methods i.e. Agnikarma & Raktamokshana are more beneficial. Aim & objective: To compare the efficacy of Agnikarma and Raktamokshana (Cupping) in the management of Gridhrasi (Sciatica). Materials & Methods: Total 32 diagnosed cases of sciatica were registered, from which 29 patients completed the study. In group A, 4 sittings of Agnikarma were done in 16 patients with Panchadhatu Shalaka at lumbosacral region and achilles tendon region. In group B, 2 sittings of Raktamokshana was performed in 16 patients by using modified Shringa Yantra at lumbo-sacral region and four angula above Janu sandhi (Knee joint).. Result: The result was assessed by using wilcoxon signed rank test within the group and Mann whitney test between the group. Stastically significant relief was observed in both groups on cardinal symptoms of Gridhrasi. In Agnikarma group, 26.67% patients had got complete remission, 20% patients had marked improvement whereas 40% had moderate improvement in the symptoms of Gridhrasi. In group, Raktamokshana 50% had moderate improvement, 42.85% had marked improvement. Conclusion: Both para-surgical modalities have definite role in treating sciatica but Agnikarma has shown better result in comparison of Raktamokshana in the management of Gridhrasi (Sciatica).

Ayurveda is a science of life and is believed to exist as long as the origin of life on this nature as it mentioned in Charak Samhita. Ever since, the life originated, human being has been susceptible to injury which is made him to think about healing. Hypertrophic scar  is a type of scar characterized by hypertrophy or proliferation of mature fibroblast or fibrous tissue without proliferation of blood vessels. It is caused due to tissue formation during healing process.   Acharya Sushruta has mentioned Palandu (Allium Cepa) as Sthirdhatukarta  and Krumighna. Palandu is one of the oldest cultivated vegetables in indian history. Palandu contains vitamin A, C and proteins which are essential factors for wound healing ,with keeping  these factors in mind,present study was planned as a local application of Palandu Ghrita to prevent hypertrophic scar because prevention is better than cure. For this research study we designed 2 groups viz. experimental group (Group A) i.e. application of Palandu Ghrita and control group (Group B) i.e. application of plain gauze piece. In this, we observed 30 patients from each group according to age, occupation, family history, sharir prakruti etc. and made result on the basis of assessment criteria like pain, scar colour, pliability, tenderness etc. By taking all observations into consideration we made result by using Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann Whitney’s U test and came on the conclusion that Palandu Ghrita application prevents hypertrophic scar with economical and easy acceptability.
