The ignorance about food and present life styles has made people at large to indulge in unwholesome food habits and regimens. Due to this lifestyle and improper diet pattern, there will be metabolic impairment leading to Amlata and Vidhagdhata of the consumed food. This is recognized as Amlapitta in Ayurveda. The Lakshanas of Amlapitta can be correlated with signs and symptoms of Non-ulcer Dyspepsia. The line of treatment as per allied science is life style changes, use of H2 receptor blocking agents and Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI). Long term use of these antacids has shown various side effects. The patients with non ulcer Dyspepsia will have regurgitation despite of adequate acid suppression by treatment. It causes significant economic impact due to the long-term management of the disease and costs of possible complications. There is a need for a better medicine which can counter such changes and can reduce Amlata and Vidagdhata of consumed food. Medicines explained in Ayurveda have the ability to do the same. For this purpose, Vasadidashanga kwatha which is explained in Bhaishajya Ratnavali in comparison with Patoladikwatha as per mentioned in Chakradatta in the management of Amlapitta is been undertaken. Methods: In Clinical study, 60 patients fulfilling the diagnostic inclusion criteria were selected from OPD and IPD of Hospitals of South Canara and special camps conducted for the same. Patients were divided into 2 groups Group A and Group B and compared with Vasadidashangakwatha and Patoladikwatha with the standard dosage of Kwatha for a period of 30 days. Results: Assessment of the total effect of therapy was made by analyzing the data with suitable statistical tests of significance. Overall the test has shown significant result in Group A compared to Group B. Conclusion: Both Vasadidashanga kwatha and Patoladi kwatha showed good results in reduction of signs and symptoms of Amlapitta. Vasadidashanga kwatha gave better results in comparison with Patoladikwatha clinically. The statistical analysis also supported this by concluding that the improvement after treatment is highly significant in Group A (Vasadidashanga kwatha) when compared to Group B (Patoladikwatha).

Gridhrasi is a Vyadhi characterized by Stambha (stiffness), Ruk (pain), Toda (pricking pain), Spandana (twitching) etc. Though it is of two types – Vataja and Vatakaphaja, Vata being the prime cause for this condition has to be tackled to gain relief. Gridhrasi, according to its signs and symptoms can be compared to sciatica in modern medical science which is a painful condition in which pain commences from the buttock and radiates into the lower extremity along its posterior or lateral aspect, more or less comprising of the area of distribution of the sciatic nerve. Thus, this study was taken up to evaluate the efficacy of Rasona taila and Gandharvahastadi eranda taila in the management of Gridhrasi (Sciatica). Methods: In the present study, 60 subjects diagnosed with Gridhrasi were randomly selected and assigned into two equal groups Group A and Group B comprising 30 subjects each. Subjects of Group A received Rasona taila 10ml orally in morning before food and subjects of Group B received Gandharvahastadi eranda taila 10 ml orally in morning before food, both for duration of 21 days. The data obtained in both the groups were recorded, tabulated and statistically analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Results: After obtaining all the necessary data, the results were formulated by applying suitable statistical tests. Group A showed better results statistically when compared to Group B. Conclusion: Rasona taila has better effects than Gandharvahastadi eranda taila both clinically and statistically in reducing the signs and symptoms of Gridhrasi.

Introduction: Resting tongue position is of crucial importance in the stability and retention of complete denture, particularly of the mandible. The retracted position of the tongue has been found to be higher in edentulous subjects when compared to dentate subjects and highest in completely edentulous individuals. Objectives: To evaluate the resting tongue position in completely edentulous as well as partially edentulous patients. Methods: 50 edentulous and 50 partially edentulous (mandible) subjects were taken. The edentulous group was divided into two groups according to the duration of edentulousness. Group A: Recently extracted edentulous subjects (< 1 year), Group B: Long term edentulous subjects (> 1 years). The partially edentulous group was divided into 4 groups according to Kennedy classification. The resting tongue positions of all the individuals were determined. The data was analyzed using SPSS statistical tests like mean, standard deviation, proportion, Chi-square test and Independent T-test. Results: In complete edentulous group, the abnormal upper was the most frequent (38%). In partial edentulous group, the normal lower was the most frequently observed tongue position with 34%. The abnormal tongue position was found in 68% and 40% in completely edentulous and partially edentulous subjects respectively. Conclusion: Retracted resting tongue position is found to be higher in completely edentulous subjects than partially edentulous ones.
