Conceptual Study

Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means "The Sci- ence of Life". We are experiencing a renaissance of an ancient system of health promotion; disease prevention and treatment and this indigenous knowledge has transformative potential to heal mental and physical ailments but in maximum cases, there is a lack of data regarding their detailed mechanism of actions. The present study aims to compile all the information and literature regarding one of the classical formulations "Arogyavardhini Vati". It is official in the ayurvedic formulary of India and is safe and effective in hyperlipidaemia, ear discharge with its hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity. It is also used in jaundice, skin disorders, fevers, oedema, indigestion, and obesity. We will see the review of "Arogyavardhini Vati' in this article. Keywords: Arogyavardhini, Kustha.

Nutraceuticals have been around for quite some time. As the nomenclature suggests, they are placed somewhere between food (nutra-) and medicine (-ceuticals) in terms of their impact on human health. Researches have focused on the impact of various types of nutraceuticals on health, their efficacy in health promotion and disease prevention, and often on suitable uses of certain categories of nutraceuticals for specific health issues. However, we are still far from utilizing the immense potential of nutraceuticals for benefiting human health in a substantial manner. We review the available scholarly literature regarding the role of nutraceuticals in health promotion, their efficacy in disease prevention and the perception of nutraceuticals' health benefits by consumers. Thereafter we analyze the need for regulation of nutraceuticals and various provisions regarding the same.

This systematic review aims to elucidate the role of melatonin (N-acetyl-5-metoxy-tryptamine) (MLT) in the prevention and treatment of cancer. MLT is a pineal gland secretory product, an evolutionarily highly conserved molecule; it is also an antioxidant and an impressive protector of mitochondrial bioenergetic activity. MLT is characterized by an ample range of activities, modulating the physiology and molecular biology of the cell. Its physiological functions relate principally to the interaction of G Protein-Coupled MT1 and MT2 trans-membrane receptors (GPCRs), a family of guanidine triphosphate binding proteins. MLT has been demonstrated to suppress the growth of various tumours both, in vivo and in vitro. In this review, we analyze in depth, the antioxidant activity of melatonin, aiming to illustrate the cancer treatment potential of the molecule, by limiting or reversing the changes occurring during cancer development and growth.
