ABSTRACT
Morning sickness or simple emesis along with nausea is commonly present in 50% ladies during their pregnancy upto 12-14 weeks but when it becomes severe, it is called as hyperemesis gravidarum which exerts deleterious effects on the health of mother as well as of the baby. It may be a symptom of various medical-surgical-gynaecological complications and if it is not controlled in its early phase sometimes a hard decision of termination of pregnancy has to be undertaken. The guideline for treating ailments during pregnancy is first that the drug should be safe not to hinder with the continuation of gestation period. In this protective mode of treatment, our Unani herbal formulations have proved their superiority over the drugs of other systems. Present study was carried out to assess the efficacy of Jawarish Anarain in vomiting during pregnancy and results found were very encouraging

Ageing means to grow old. This process continues throughout life, physical growth is completed by early adulthood and afterwards catabolism takes over anabolism resulting in a net decrease in the number of body cells. Ageing is probably multifactorial as a sequel of interaction of several mechanisms. Adequate nutrition and a well balanced diet of vital importance is needed during old age so as to prevent common hazards of ageing. Many factors like poor income, less mobility, social isolation are known to affect the health and well being of the elderly. Today the number of old population is approximately 55 million, contributing about 6.5% of total world population. Ageing is an irreversible biological change that occurs throughout life and continues relentlessly until death. The understanding and complications of ageing both physiological and psychological have become more apparent with the advancement in medical science
