Ayurveda, often known as Ayurvedic medicine, is a customized system of the traditional system of medicine with historical roots in the Indian subcontinent. This alternative medicine system has been used for more than 5,000 years in India, and it is grounded on a holistic view of treatment that stimulates and supports equilibrium in diverse facets of human life: the body, soul, and mind. A great variety of herbs and plants are used in Ayurveda for numerous advantages; however, the popular Ayurvedic medicinal plants and formulations that are used to delay the aging of the human brain and improve memory consist of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Turmeric (Curcuma longa), Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), Shankhpushpi (Convolvulus pluricaulis, Evolvulus alsinoides, and other species), gotu kola (Centella asiatica), and guggulu (Commiphora mukul and correlated species) and a preparation identified as Brāhmī Ghṛita, containing Brahmi, Vacā (Acorus calamus), Kuṣṭha (Saussurea lappa), Shankhpushpi, and Purāṇa Ghṛita (old clarified butter/old ghee). One of the extremely common progressive neurodegenerative disorders is Alzheimer s disease (AD), which is characterized by profound memory loss ample enough to hinder social and occupational functioning. Globally, more than 20 million people are affected by this most common form of dementia. AD is characterized by a stealthy loss of memory, allied functional decline, and behavioral disturbances. With modern scientific methods, it is anticipated that this description can be further explored to disclose novel therapeutic pointers and push-start additional studies on the use of Ayurvedic medicine to prevent and treat AD. This paper reviews the clinical effects of a number of generally used types of herbal medicines to treat AD.

Diabetes Mellitus is a major health problem in the whole world. In spite of tremendous advancements of the modern system of medicine as OAD (oral anti-diabetic drug) and insulin therapy, to date, an ideal drug that can control hyperglycemia is still a distant dream. It has been a challenge for Ayurveda to search for additional effective solutions resulting in the better management of the disease. There is a need for effective, safe and potent medicine which can control hyperglycemia related to type II diabetes and has no side effects.  In this case study, we used Ayurvedic medicine ‘Vallipanchmoolchurna’ mentioned in Sushruta Samhita in a single case study which was done on the use of  Vallipanchmool churna on type II Diabetes Mellitus. A significant reduction was seen in blood sugar level fasting and post-meal.

<p><em>The complexity of modern life leads humans to adapt to create a healthy life behind the hustle and bustle of the world. Globalization and various advanced technologies require humans to be able to adapt to existing technology. The existence of competition from various sectors and the inability of humans to control themselves are the main causes of mental disorders which ultimately affect physical health. Mental disorder is a disease that can hinder a person's success in achieving his goals. If the symptoms of mental disorders such as stress, anxiety, etc. continue to be ignored, it will result in the emergence of chronic mental disorders. Humans try to prevent and treat symptoms and mental illness by utilizing pharmacological drugs that are instant healing, but if consumed in the long term it can have negative effects on body health. The alternative given by ancient ayurvedic medicine in dealing with mental disorders is the Shirodhara terapi. This terapi is believed to be able to provide a sensation of calm to the patient, reduce stress, anxiety and various health problems related to mental disorders. The use of warm herbal oil in this terapi may have no side effects.</em></p>

Tuberculosis is an airborne infection that impairs lung function, and people with low immunity and other medical conditions are the most vulnerable. The disease progresses slowly, with symptoms appearing only in the advanced stages, followed by a lengthy therapeutic regimen and, finally, a long list of side effects. Some patients may not complete the course or may fall behind over time. This could lead to multi-drug resistance, which would make the treatment more challenging. Ayurvedic remedies have been shown in such cases to integrate with the body's natural environment and, according to many recent studies, significantly cut mortality rates. The key reason for the growing popularity of ayurvedic medicine is the lower toxicity study and lack of side effects when partnered with allopathic medications. This review covers a brief history of the disease, its mode of action, and its symptoms, but the main focus is on ayurvedic herbs and their anti-tubercular properties. The purpose of this review is to highlight research findings on anti-tubercular plants and their anti-tubular action, as well as the chemical constituents of these plants.

Introduction:- Sickle cell anemia is a term for a group of genetic diseases characterized by the production of hemoglobin (Hb) "S". This is the result of replacing the base pair thymine at the 6th position of the β-globin gene on chromosome 11 with adenine and replacing valine with glutamic acid. A single amino acid substitution is the reason for the profound changes in the stability and solubility of the hemoglobin "S" molecule. Due to its chronic nature and painful crisis, children’s quality of life is difficult. From now on, there is no final treatment other than a successful bone marrow transplant.

Background: Australia has a high proportion of migrants with an increasing migration rate from India. Type II diabetes is a long-term condition common amongst the Indian population.Aims: To investigate patients’ medication-taking behaviour and factors that influence adherence at the three phases of adherence.Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a convenience sample of 23 Indian migrants living in Sydney. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed.Results: 1) Initiation: The majority of participants were initially prescribed oral antidiabetic medicine and only two were started on insulin. Most started taking their medicine immediately while some delayed initiating therapy due to fear of side-effects. 2) Implementation: Most participants reported taking their medicine as prescribed. However, some reported forgetting their medicine especially when they were in a hurry for work or were out for social events. 3) Discontinuation: A few participants discontinued taking their medicine. Those who discontinued did so to try Ayurvedic medicine. Their trial continued for a few weeks to a few years. Those who did not receive expected results from the Ayurvedic medicine restarted their prescribed conventional medicine.Conclusion: A range of medication-taking behaviours were observed, ranging from delays in initiation to long-term discontinuation, and swapping of prescribed medicine with Ayurvedic medicine. This study highlights the need for tailored interventions, including education, that focus on factors that impact medication adherence from initiation to discontinuation of therapy.
