Menstruation is the end point of series of events which begin in the cerebral cortex and hypothalamus and ends at the uterus in the hypothalamic pituitary –ovarian uterine axis. Any break in this axis creates Menstrual Problems. PCOS is one such condition associated with abnormal gonadotropic secretion which in turn lead to menstrual irregularity acne and hirsutism- Its prevalence ranging from 2.2% to 26% with age ranging from 18-45 years. In modern science PCOS is managed by down regulating HPO axis using Hormonal Pills which have their own side effects. Therefore complete, comprehensive and holistic approach towards its understanding & treatment is the need of the age. Ayurveda has no direct correlation to PCOS. There are similar condition acc to symptoms are explained under the concept of Pushpaghni, Jathaharini.

Background: Apabahuka is a Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi, in which locomotive functions of Amsa Sandhi are affected mainly due to Vata Dosha Prakopa causing pain, stiffness and restricted movement of the shoulder. Apabahuka can be correlated to Frozen shoulder or Adhesive Capsulitis in modern medicine because of similar symptomatology. Nasya is indicated in Urdhwajatrugata Vikaras. Pinyaka Taila and Swalpa Masha Taila are Vatahara Taila used for Nasya. Method: A single blind randomised clinical study in which 40 clinically diagnosed patients of Apabahuka, fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected and divided into two groups - Group A treated with Pinyaka / Panchamula Taila Nasya and Group B treated with Swalpa Masha Taila Nasya, comprising of 20 patients each. Result: Statistically Nasya with Pinyaka Taila showed better results in Pain (51.2%), Stiffness (48%), Tenderness (58.33%), with improvement in goniometric readings of shoulder ROM than Nasya with Swalpa Masha Taila in Pain (39.4%), stiffness (40.9%), Tenderness (58%). Discussion: Rukshadi Gunas of Vata are increased in Apabahuka hence Viparita Gunas like Snigdhadi in the form of Brumhana Nasya with Pinyaka Taila was found to be effective in Apabahuka. In the present study Group A Nasya with Pinyaka Taila showed better effect than Group B Nasya with Swalpa Masha Taila.

Ever since the evolution of the species Homo sapiens, anal problems have been a source of constant anxiety. Contrarily there seems to be an increasing incidence of the commonest of all anal disease, i.e. Arshas, a kind of disease which is very unkind towards mankind. Ayurvedic literatures have described Arshas as Mahagada and can be compared to Haemorrhoids in modern medicine. The various therapies show that there is no universally acceptable technique in the management of Haemorrhoids and also these have many side effects and demerits. Pratisaraneeya Kshara the alkaline group of medicinal substances has been emphasized throughout the classical literature for Arshas, as a substitute for surgical procedure and can be used safely in patients who are afraid of surgery, old and weak also. This work includes preparation of Apamarga and Palasha Pratisaraneeya Ksharas; evaluation of the efficacy of Apamarga and Palasha Pratisaraneeya Kshara and comparing the results in the management of Arshas. The effects of Apamarga Pratisaraneeya Kshara and Palasha Pratisaraneeya Kshara were evaluated clinically in 30 patients, 15 in each group randomly divided. The study concluded that in patients suffering from Arshas both Apamarga Pratisaraneeya Kshara and Palasha Pratisaraneeya Kshara showed statistically highly significant results (p < 0.001) in terms of the improvement in Mass per rectum, Pain and Size of pilemass and 80% of the patients treated with Apamarga Pratisaraneeya Kshara got complete remission from the disease, while with Palasha Pratisaraneeya Kshara 46.7% patients showed complete remission. Though there won’t many differences statistically, the comparison of individual criteria ‘s percentage and the relief obtained, Apamarga Pratisaraneeya Kshara showed an upper hand in managing the Arshas.

Background: Vitiligo is a common acquired disorder of skin depigmentation in varying patterns, varying from small maculae’s with scalloping borders to near total depigmentation of body. The prevalence of vitiligo in India has been invariably reported between 0.25% and 4% of dermatology outpatients across studies from India and up to 8.8% in Gujarat and Rajasthan. The study was conducted to compare the coded Unani formulation UNIM-001 (tablet) and UNIM-003 (ointment) with Melanocyl tablet (10mg each) (Methoxsalen) as standard control. Methodology: Sixty Five patients of trial group (UNIM-001+ UNIM-003) and sixty seven patients of control group (Comparator group) of 12-50 years of either sex were selected from patients attending the Out Patient Department (OPD), at RRIUM, Aligarh during 2015-18. The patients were treated for eight months with instructions and are followed every month for efficacy and safety of the drug(s). The CRF was maintained, and post treatmet followup was done at 3 months for the repigmentaion retained by the patient. Result: The UNIM-001 (tablets) and UNIM -003 (ointment) and standard control drug Melanocyl tablets (methoxsalen) showed same results and did not show any side effects. Conclusion: The trial drug and the standard control drugs both possess same anti- vitiligo efficacy and are also safe for the patients.
