Anaemia during pregnancy is a major public health problem throughout the world, particularly in the developing countries. According to WHO, prevalence of anaemia in pregnant women is estimated as 14 per cent in developed and 51 percent in developing countries. In India the prevalence is 65-75 percent. Acharya Kashyapa explained that like other disorders Samprapti of Pandu is also similar in Garbhini. So all narration mentioned in Ayurvedic classics regarding Pandu is applicable to Garbhini- Pandu. In the present study total 37 patients were recruited under the study and distributed into two groups Group-A (Draksha ghrita) and Group-B (Lakshmana lauha). After completion of trial 30 patients data was only available for assessment and 07 patients were dropped out from the study due to their irregular follow-up. On analysis of results, none of the patient has showed excellent relief. 10.00% and 30.00% patient has showed moderate relief in group A & B respectively. 06.00% and 10.00% patient in A and B group showed marked relief while 06.66% and 00.00% patient in has showed mild relief in A and B group and also the 26.66% and 16.66% patient has showed no relief. When the two groups A and B were compared with each other, the percentage of relief is found higher in group B, so it implies that group B is more clinically significant than group A. Overall conclusion of this study is that Draksha Gritha and Lakshmana lauha both drugs are effective, but Lakshmana lauha is comparatively better to cure the Subjective and Objective parameter of Garbhini Pandu.

Background of the study: Stroke is a major public health problem that ranks in the top four causes of death in most of the countries and is responsible for a large proportion of the burden of neurologic disorders. Patients with stroke have poor balance because they cannot control dynamically the size of the base of support or the location of the line of gravity. Perturbation training undergoes the maximal sway possible without losing his balance. Objective of the study: The objective of the study is to find the effects of rolling board perturbation training on balance among hemiparetic stroke patients. Methodology: Thirty clinically diagnosed hemiparetic stroke patients were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were randomly allocated into two groups (Group A and Group B) consists of 15 subjects each. Group A received conventional physiotherapy alone and group B received rolling board perturbation training along with conventional physiotherapy. Intervention lasted for 4 weeks, three days in a week and one hour per day. Balance was measured before and after 4 weeks of intervention by berg balance scale. Conclusion: Both conventional physiotherapy alone and rolling board perturbation training along with conventional physiotherapy significantly improved balance among hemiparetic stroke patients. When comparing both rolling board perturbation training along with conventional physiotherapy is more effective than conventional physiotherapy alone in improving balance among hemiparetic stroke patients.

Nowadays, people are more vulnerable to metabolic disorders due to their faulty dietary and behavioural habits. One such disorder is Vatarakta which causes functional impairment due to involvement of Sandhi (joints). It is manifested by Ruk, Toda, Sparsha asahatva, Shopha, Raga, Daha and Stabdhata in Sandhi. Vatarakta can be correlated with Hyperuricaemia or Gout due to similarity in their clinical features. Hyperuricaemia is defined as abnormally high level of uric acid in blood (i.e. >6mg/dl in female and >7mg/dl in male). On the other hand, Gout is an inflammatory response to monosodium urate crystals formed secondary to hyperuricaemia. Aims and objectives: 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of Trikarshika kwatha and lifestyle modification in the management of Vatarakta. 2. To compare the effects of Trikarshika kwatha with and without lifestyle modification in the management of Vatarakta. Materials and methods: Raw herbs of the research formulation were collected after proper identification and Kwatha was prepared for oral administration. For the clinical study, total 60 patients were selected on the basis of selection criteria. Selected patients were randomly divided into two groups. (i) Group A: 30 patients were treated with Trikarshika kwatha. (ii) Group B: 30 patients were treated with Trikarshika kwatha along with Lifestyle modification. Individual patient was treated for 45 days along with follow up at the interval of every 15 days. To assess the effectiveness of treatment, scoring pattern was followed for subjective and objective parameters. They were assessed before and after treatment. The collected data were analysed statistically by using Paired t-test. Results: On the basis of all statistical data, it can be said that patients of Group B showed better results in all parameters in comparison to patients of Group A. Conclusion: Both Trikarshika kwatha and Lifestyle modification are affective but Trikarshika kwatha with Lifestyle modification is more effective than Trikarshika kwatha without Lifestyle modification in the management of Vatarakta.

Kasa is one of the Pranavaha Srothodusti vikara which hinders normal life. Kaphaja Kasa is a type of Kasa with Vata and Kapha as predominant doshas and present with Prabhuta, Ghana and Bahala kapha. Kaphaja Kasa can be best compared with Chronic Bronchitis. If left untreated it leads to various conditions like Swasa, Kshaya, Chardi, Svarasaadha etc. This signifies the importance of its early management. The present study was conducted on 40 diagnosed subjects of Kaphaja Kasa who were randomly allocated into 2 groups with 20 patients each. La- vangadi gutika was taken in Group A and Pippalyadi gutika in Group B. Medicines was given for 30 days and the data was collected from the subject at baseline, 16th day, 31st day and on 46th day (follow up). The result of the study showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the assessment parameters in both the groups from baseline. However no statistically significant difference was observed between the effect of Lavangadi guti- ka and Pippalyadi gutika in the management of Kaphaja Kasa suggesting that both interventions were having a significant effect on the condition.

In Ayurveda, Gridhrasi is considered as one of the Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi having vitiation of Vata and sometimes Vata Kapha Dosha. The cardinal signs and symptoms of Gridhrasi are Ruk (pain), Toda (pricking sensation), Stambha (stiffness) and Muhurspandan in the Sphika, Kati, Uruh, Janu, Jangha and Pada in order and Sakthiuthkshepanigraha (hinderence in lifting of the legs). In Kaphanubandha -Tandra, Gaurav, Arochaka are present. The signs and symptoms of ‘Gridhrasi’ can be correlated with that of ‘Sciatica’ in modern terminology. Sciatica is a very painful condition in which pain begins in lumbar region and radiates along the posterior lateral aspects of thigh and leg along with difficulty in walking. SLR test, sitting test, Lasegues sign are helpful not only to diagnose the sciatica but also to assess the progress of the therapy. With reference to the management of Sciatica, in modern medicine, various modalities are available. These modern therapies have their own limitations and these management tools are not affordable for the poor, especially in the developing countries. Therefore, the choice of treatment commonly opens to reveal some effective, simple, safe and economic modalities. Total 30 patients were registered in this study. 15 patients were assigned to group A (Ajmodadi Churna) and 15 to group B (Ajmodadi Churna and Sahacharadi Taila Kati Basti). Each patient was examined thoroughly before treatment and observed keenly during the procedure and follow up.
