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.

Background: Gridhrasi is such a Ruja Pradhaana Vatavyadhi. In Gridhrasi intense shooting pain characteristically radiates from Sphika (gluteal region) to Pada (foot). Based on symptoms of Gridhrasi, it can be equated with the disease sciatica in modern science. The lifetime incidence of low back pain is 50-70%, with Sciatica more than 40%. Charaka has considered Basti therapy as half of the disease's treatment, while some authors consider it as the complete remedy for all the ailments. Basti is one of the unique procedures explained for the management of Vatavyadhi (Neurological Disorder) where Gridhrasi (Sciatica) is being the predominant of Vata dosha, Basti is being used widely for the management of Gridhrasi (Sciatica). Therefore we have taken the Basti modality for the treatment of Gridhrasi (Sciatica). Hence the study is carried to evaluate the effect of Anuvasanbasti with Brihachagalyadi Ghritam & Guggulutiktaka Ghritam in the management of Gridhrasi (Sciatica). Aims and Objectives: Evaluate Anuvasan Basti's efficacy with Brihatchagalyadi Ghritam & Guggulutiktaka Ghritamin the control of Gridhrasi (Sciatica) and to compare the effectiveness of Brihachagalyad Ghritam & Guggulutiktak Ghritam Anuvasan Basti in the direction of Gridhrasi. Methodology: Procedure: This study, a total of 66 patients, will be separated haphazardly divided into 2 groups (33 in each). In Group A (Interventional Group)- will Treat with Brihachagalyadi Ghritam as an Anuvasan Basti in increasing dose pattern for nine days and Group B (Control Group ) –patients will Treat with Guggulutiktaka Ghritam as an Anuvasanbasti in increasing dose pattern for nine days. The evaluation will be recorded on 0 and 9thday. Conclusion: It may be more beneficial and more effective in pain as well as other subjective and objective parameters.

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.

Sleep is a serious health ailment that affects millions of people. It is one of the most significant human behaviour occupying roughly one third of human life. Sleep occupies a greater portion of our life and is considered as one among the three Upastambhas of existence. Charaka has explained the management of Nidranasha (Insomnia) with both external and internal treatments. Presently people are not getting sufficient hours of sleep because of busy life schedules and overload, as a result of which, work hours have replaced time of sleep. Recent studies have shown that anxiety and stressful environment has created an imbalance in the physiological activity of the body leading to disturbed sleep and other anomalies. A Randomized comparative clinical study of 40 patients suffering with classical signs and symptoms of Anidra (Insomnia) of either sex divided into two groups viz. Group A - (Study group) - Treated with Pippali Moola (Root of Piper Longum) with Guda (Jaggery), Group B - (Placebo Group) - Acacia resin with a study duration of 14 days, including follow-ups.

Ekakushtha is one of the Kshudra Kushtha described in Ayurvedic classics. It predominantly involves Vata and Kapha Dosha and characterized by Asvedanam (Anhidrosis), Mahavastu (large area of involvement), Matsyashakalopamam (scaling), Krishna Aruna Varna (black or reddish brown skin lesion), Kandu (itching) and Rukshata (dryness). In modern science it can be co-related with Psoriasis. According to W.H.O. the world wide prevalence of Psoriasis is 2-3% (April, 2013). In India prevalence of Psoriasis varies from 0.44 to 2.88%. Acharya Charaka mentioned that treatment of Ekakushtha is to be carried out according to involvement of excessive Dosha. It is Bahudosha (excessively aggravated Dosha) and Chirkari (chronic) Vyadhi (disease). In this condition Shodhana Chikitsa (purificatory measures) is best. So in this present study Vamana Karma and Virechana Karma is chosen for the treatment of Ekakushtha. Here 60 cases of Ekakushtha (Psoriasis) were divided into two groups. Group A (30 patients) were subjected to Vamana Karma. Group B (30 patients) were subjected to Virechana Karma. The statistical analysis reveals that Vamana Karma is statistically more significant in the management of Ekakushtha. Here both the therapies i.e. Vamana Karma and Virechana Karma were effective in the treatment of Ekakushtha. But Vamana Karma was more effective than Virechana Karma.
