A CRITICAL STUDY ON HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF YOGA DARSHANA AND AYURVEDA

Darshana Shastra is the outcome of comprehensive perception of nature, which explains and narrate the state of human existence. Darshanas and Ayurveda both are having same source that is Veda. Objectives of Ayurveda is to accomplish the physical, mental, social and spiritual well being by adopting the preventive and promotive approach as well as treating the diseases with various remissive approaches. Darshanas are the path to get free from miseries and to attain ultimate happiness i.e., Moksha which is the goal of life. Yoga Darshana is one of the oldest practices of Hindu tradition which is considered as path for Moksha. Tattvas of Yoga Darshana are merely influenced on Ayurveda. So, it is a need of hour to study the historical background of Yoga Darshana and some Sanskrit scholars explains that, Praneta of Charaka Samhita, Mahabhashya and Yoga Shastra was the same person. This paper throws a light on critical analysis of Charaka and Patanjali

Concept of Meda Dhatu with special reference to Sthoulya

Ayurveda is the science of life which is based on Adharbhuta Siddhanta that is Basic principles. Many Basic principles are explained in Ayurveda which are helpful for better understanding of Ayurvedic concepts. Among them Dhatu is also having prime importance which is explained in Ayurveda. Now a days Sthoulya has become a very common lifestyle disorder due to improper food habits, sedentary life style and change in sleep pattern. The role of Meda Dhatu in Sthoulya is inevitable since the derangement in Medadhatwagni arrests the formation of further Dhatus and may even harm the longevity of the individual. Hence proper and healthy life style is very much essential in Sthoulya

A COMPARATIVE STUDY IN THE DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS FOR ORAL MANIFESTATION AT TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL IN NORTH KARNATAKA

ABSTRACTObjective: Diabetes mellitus is the leading health problem across the world. It is associated with several complications such as retinopathy, neuropathy,oral manifestations, chronic macrovascular and microvascular complications. Our objective is to compare these oral manifestations in controlled anduncontrolled diabetic patients.Methods: A study was conducted on total of 100 diabetic patients. The patients were divided into two groups: Group I (n=50) consists of controlleddiabetic patients and Group II (n=50) consists of uncontrolled diabetic patients. Before, the start of the study proper oral examination was donefor both the groups. Samples were collected and were subjected to microbial examination. Comparison between both the groups was done for oralmanifestations.Results: It showed that uncontrolled diabetic patients had a higher incidence of oral manifestations such as hyposalivation, parotid enlargement,burning sensation of mouth, taste alterations, sialorrhea, dental carries, and microbial lesions than controlled diabetes patients.Conclusion: Uncontrolled diabetic patients had higher risk of oral manifestations than controlled diabetic individuals.Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, Retinopathy, Neuropathy, Oral manifestations, Periodontitis, Hyposalivation

A case control study on Asheelaneeya Dravya Dadhi and its role as Nidana of Mukhapaka with special reference to Karya Karana Siddhanta

Many things in the universe including the creation itself happens due to the “cause and effect" relationship is called Karya Karana Siddhanta. Ayurveda is a science which cures the disease, it also helps in the prevention of diseases. According to our Acharya's 'Dadhi ' (curd) is Asheelaneeya Dravya. Dadhi is most common food content of Indian diet. Dadhi by its nature Amla-Rasa, Amla-Vipaka, Guru-Guna, Ushna-Virya and is Abhishyanda Karaka. It should not be consumed during Vasantha, Greeshma and Sharad Rutu. It should not be taken at night, which is the Nidana (Karana) for the manifestation of the Vyadhi (Karya). Hence the present retrospective case control study was taken to imply the Karya Karana Siddhanta with special reference to Dadhi as Nidana in the manifestation of Mukhapaka. Objectives: To study the implication of regular indulgence of Dadhi and to identify and comprehend the role of Dadhi as one of the important Nidana for Mukhapaka. Results: Results were drawn based on an observational study and Statistical analysis by Chi square test and Odds ratio. It shows highly significant results. Interpretation: This Case Control Study reveals that, regular consumption of Dadhi, could be risk factor for Mukhapaka. After discussing about types of the Dadhi and its properties, conclude that Dadhi has to be consumed by taking into account the type of Dadhi and individual's own Prakriti. Conclusion: Pitta Pradhana Prakriti persons are more susceptible to Mukhapaka. After discussing about types of the Dadhi and its properties, it can be concluded that Dadhi has to be consumed by taking into account the type of Dadhi and individual's own Prakriti

Lavana Varga in Ayurveda

Lavana has been used as medicine as well as food since ancient times. A number of salts are described in various ancient texts and out of which, some are not available in present day, but Panchalavana are mainly used in medicinal purposes. The names of five varieties of Lavana are included in Panchalavana group,varies from text to text. There are many terms commonly used in Ayurveda as like Lavantraya, Lavana Chaturya, Lavana Panchaka, Lavanashadushna etc. Lavana Panchaka is explained first among them. The group of five salts viz. Saindhava Lavana, Samudra Lavana, Vida Lavana, Sauvarchala Lavana, Romaka Lavana , among all Saindhava Lavana is the best one

Review on Nithya Asheelaniya Aahara Dravya with special reference to the Dadhi (Curd)

Ayurveda is one of the Ancient system of medicine. Ayurveda Acharya's taught us about health, how to living healthy in a society through Ahara Niyama by following Pathyapathya. which Ahara can be taken in all season which one is good for which season. In classics there is an elaborate description regarding Dinacharya, Rutucharya, Sadvritta Palana etc. Ahara (Food) has been recognized as an important pillar for human being. Ayurveda enhance the importance of Unwholesome Aahara Dravya in the maintenance of health as well as prevent of diseases. As per Ayurveda Asheelaniya Ahara Dravya's are those food articles which are not suitable for regular use, E.g.- Dadhi. These food items with regular consumption can lead to various diseases. In this study there is detailed review of Dadhi (Curd) mentioned under Asheelaniya Ahara Dravya. This study is an attempt to fulfil knowledge of rules for consumption of Dadhi

An experimental study to evaluate the concept of Trividha Atisevana Varjya Dravya w.s.r. to Lavana

Background: Lavana is used as medicine as well as Ahara since ancient times. In Caraka Samhita it has been mentioned that three Dravyas viz. Pippali, Kshara (alkali) and Lavana (salt) can be used as emergency medicine, but they should not be consumed in excess (Ati Upayunjita). Hence in the present study Lavana has been evaluated in experimental animals in two different phases’ viz. Acute administration at graded doses as part of acute toxicity study and Sub-Acute administration at fixed dose level, as part of toxic Sub-Acute toxicity study, to assess the possible adverse effects. Materials & Methods: Wistar strain albino rats of either sex weighing between 150 - 200g. body weights were used, The experiment was carried out in accordance with the direction of the Institutional animal ethics committee (IAEC) after obtaining its permission (Approval number IAEC – 138/k/2018). Results: Results were drawn based on histopathological reports and biochemical reports of each group of toxicity study. Acute toxicity study has been carried out in albino rats receiving the 2 dose level maximum at up to 10 times higher (855mg/kg) then the therapeutic equivalent dose (427.5mg/kg). In Sub-Chronic toxicity: dose given was five times higher than therapeutic equivalent dose and ten times the equivalent to human therapeutic dose for duration of 30 days. Discussion: Toxicity is not found in Acute study and in Sub-Acute study moderate to high toxicity is found

A microscale integrated approach to measure and model fibre misalignment in fibre-reinforced composite

peer-reviewedThe full text of this article will not be available in ULIR until the embargo expires on the 30/08/2021Computational micromechanics of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) relies on the ability of the representative volume elements (RVEs) to take into account the different features that characterise the geometry of the material system under consideration. Fibre misalignment has been proven experimentally to have a significant effect on the mechanical properties at the macroscale, but is not currently taken into consideration in models at the individual fibre level, perhaps due to the difficulty in statistically characterising the fibre misalignment. In this work, an integrated approach is presented to measure and model fibre misalignments in FRPs. A computed tomography (CT) scan is used to identify the fibre geometry and statistically characterise the fibre misalignment angle distribution. Using a methodology recently developed by the authors, three-dimensional (3D) RVEs were generated by requiring their misalignment angle distribution to fit the empirical distribution. The methodology proposed provides a framework for the systematic numerical analysis of the influence of fibre misalignment on mechanical properties of FRPs
