In Ayurveda, all skin diseases have been described under the umbrella of Kushtha. Ekakusta is considered as the most commonest skin disease that can affect an individual. Acharya Charak has described the involvement of Vata-Kapha in Eka Kushtha. In the present study Eka kushtha is compared with psoriasis due to resemblance of signs symptoms and causative factors with it. Psoriasis is a papulosquamous disorder of the skin, characterized by sharply defined erythematosquamous lesions this illness exhibits a prompt response if treated carefully, left it may run a very chronic course extending into larger area of the body. Ayurveda focuses more on curative management than palliative management. The drug used in the treatment of Ayurveda does not have complications like modern treatment. Repeated Sodhana prevent the recurrence of the disease. Similarly various preparations have been advocated for the management of Psoriasis. The drugs used in this study are Guduchyadi Kashaya & Rajrukshadi Pachana Kashaya. Both the Kashayas are said to be effective in skin diseases. As per Yogaratnakara, Guduchyadhi Kwath has been mentioned as one of the drug having curative effect on all types of Kustha. Hence for present study the orally Guduchyadi Kwath is taken for EkaKustha treatment. The drugs in Guduchyadi Kwatha are Kusthaghana, Twachya, Swedal, Tridosh shamaka, as well as with Rasayan properties, which is beneficial to break down the pathogenesis of disease. As per Gadanigraha, as mentioned in Kayachikitsakhanda, Rajvrukshadipachana Kashaya is mentioned for the treatment of Ekakushtha. Ingredients in Rajvrukshadi Pachana Kashaya reduce Kapha dosha and most of them act on the skin. Kwatha dravyas are Rasadushtihara, Kaphapittahara, Deepana, Twachya, and also having antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiparasitic and anti-inflammatory properties, Hence, it is helpful for clearing the skin infections.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common health problem caused by a disproportion of reproduc- tive hormones with the ovarian expression of various metabolic disorders and a wide range of clinical features such as obesity, menstrual abnormalities and hyperandrogenism. In this modern era, the erratic lifestyle, high- calorie diet and deskbound jobs have resultantly expanded the spread of hormonal disparities and menstrual disor- ders have led to an increased prevalence of PCOS up to 20-30 %. There are similar conditions explained in the classics under the context of Pushpaghni jataharini. The treatment should be Kapha-Vata hara, vatanulomana, dipana, pittavardhaka along with avoidance of causative factors. Considering the above facts, Rajapravartaka churna and Hinguvachadi churna were selected for the study. The present study was aimed to bring out the effect of Ayurveda in PCOS, which is safe and non-hormonal. Objectives of the study: 1) A comprehensive study of PCOS and its congruence in Ayurveda. 2) To study the efficacy of Rajapravartaka churna and Hinguvachadi churna in PCOS and to compare its efficacy. Materials and Methods: A randomized comparative clinical study of two groups, consisting of 20 patients in each group. Group A - Rajapravartaka churna orally in the dose of 3gm twice daily along with tila kwata as an anupana 50ml; before food for a period of two consecutive cycles. Group B was given Hinguvachadi churna orally in the dose of 250mg twice daily along with water; before food for a period of two consecutive cycles. Results and Interpretation: The study has shown a statistically signifi- cant difference between each group in its efficacy. Conclusion: Rajapravartaka churna showed better results thanHinguvachadi churna while taking the account of the percentage of each criterion.

Dermatitis  is a disease that attacks the skin on the surface of the body which is commonly found among residents in hot, humid climates, poor personal hygiene, poor environment, and workers who deal with dirt (e.g. garbage and sewers). This study aimed to determine the relationship between personal hygiene and the use of PPE for scavengers with skin diseases at the TPA Telaga Punggur, Batam City. The method used was descriptive quantitative using a cross-sectional study design. The population in this study were all scavengers in TPA Telaga Punggur as many as 791 scavengers and as many as 89 scavengers who were sampled by purposive sampling technique. The results showed that 75.3% had poor personal hygiene and 73.0% did not wear PPE when working, and 70.8% had skin diseases. There is a relationship between personal hygiene (p = 0.006) and the use of PPE (p = 0.000) with the incidence of skin disease at Telaga Punggur landfill. Scavengers are expected to pay attention to clean and healthy living behavior by maintaining personal hygiene and always using personal protective equipment when working.

Background: Asrigdara is one of the most common Streeroga mentioned in which presents with the complaint of excessive bleeding per vaginum. It is caused due to the vitiation of Rasa dhatu, from which the Artava is formed. Considering the Nidanas of Asrigdara, it is clear that the Kapha Prakopaka Nidanas and Pitta Prakopaka Nidanas pave the way for Asrigdara. Considering the symptoms, Asrigdara can be correlated to dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) which occurs commonly during the extremes of reproductive age. Objectives: To compare the efficacy of Shatavarigopakanyadi Kashaya and Vasadi Kashaya in management of Asrigdara. Materials and Methods: Randomized comparative clinical study of two groups consisting 20 patients in each group suffering from Asrigdara. Group A - Shatavarigopakanyadi Kashaya 50 ml BD with Anupana of Sita and Madhu, Group B - Vasadi Kashaya 50 ml BD with Anupana of Sita and Ghrita Duration of Treatment: 2 consecutive cycles starting from 5th day of menstruation in each cycle. Results and Interpretation: Both the groups showed statistically significant results for all assessment criterias. Statistically there was no significant difference in curative effect between the groups. Conclusion: Both Shatavarigopakanyadi Kashaya and Vasadi Kashaya has statistically significant effect in Asrigdara.

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. The data during the study was recorded and analyzed statically.
