ABSTRACT
The modern world has come to a challenge where most of the untreated conditions are resulting into complications and are burdened over society. To fetch all these, physicians are trying to limit such conditions by applying various scientific theories and methods to explain the basic underlying mechanism of health and diseases. Understanding of physical conditions through psychological approach is the mainstream of such conditions and is termed as Somatoform disorders or psychosomatic illnesses as explained by World Health Organization in international Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. Stress is the contributing factor that doesn't allow the individual to remain in harmony with the surroundings and threatens the body's ability to maintain homeostasis. Dietary changes, mind-body therapies including meditation, stress relaxation techniques and Yoga can bring harmony back to individual suffering from such disorders.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Standardization of Ayurvedic drug is an important criteria for selection, processing, efficacy & safety wise, to meet the WHO guidelines for the world wide acceptability of Ayurvedic formulations. Therefore different preparations of Anandbhairav rasa from classic Bhaishajya Ratnavali has been selected and studied for standariztion. Materials & Methods: Three samples of Anand Bhairav Rasa were prepared according to Jwaratisar prakaran of Bhaishajya Ratnavaliand three samples according to Atisar Prakaran of Bhaishajya Ratnavali were made and subjected to various physico-chemical analyses so that their physical as well as chemical changes can be analyzed. Conclusion: Both formulations showed the difference in pharmaceutically, organoleptic examination as well as in chemical analysis. However, the results obtained from physico chemical analysis of all the three samples are very close together and within fixed physico-chemical norms as described in pharmacopeial standards for Ayurvedic formulations.
ABSTRACT
Ayurveda like any other life sciences, has its integrity and potential to understand and determining the cure of rather potential serious and emergency conditions. There are numerous examples of such clinical success stories mentioned in our ancient texts ranging from various surgical and Para-surgical operations done by Acharya Sushruta during emergency, to the treatment of the patients who are nearby death due to intake of certain poisons incidentally or accidentally, or due to any other chronic medical illness such as fever, Rakta-pitta, Kshataj-kasa, Grahni, Ura-Kshtaja etc., due to excessive blood loss or to any Marmabhighata (injury to vital organs). All these require a highly skilled health care system which is beneficial not only for its preventing aspects but a curative one too and need of fast acting substances or procedures. Most of people who have certain experiences or knowledge of Ayurveda commonly say that Ayurvedic medicines or treatments are slower in action. Is it true ? if yes, why they are so? If not, then what is truth?
