It is a link between the internal and external environment. Being the seat of complexion it maintains beauty and personality. Any deformity or disease condition of this leads to both physiological and psychological disturbance of the patient. Consumption of junk food, fast food, cold drinks, smoking and drinking alcohol, leads to the development of metabolic disorders like heart disease, diabetes mellitus, Renal diseases and skin diseases. Among these Skin diseases can adversely affect almost every aspect of a person’s life. It may lead the person to have low-esteem, depression and embarrassment. In Ayurveda, all the skin diseases have been discussed under the “Kushta”. Eka Kushta is one among Kshudra Kushta due to resemblance of Lakshana, Eka-Kushta can be correlated with Psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin disease which affects the 0.44 - 2.8% of the Indian population. There are many treatments available for this disease, but because of its chronic reoccurrence nature, Psoriasis is a challenge to treat. The Ayurveda plays an important role to manage this disease. Shodana Chikitsa forms the mainstay of treatment for all major skin diseases in Ayurveda, which helps to remove the deep-seated Dosha from the root itself. In the present study, Vamana Karma with Jimutaka Churna is selected for the pilot study to see the effect on Vamana Karma as well as on symptoms of Eka Kushta or Psoriasis. 2020-10-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/8226 “Evaluation of Effect of Amalaki Churna (Emblica Officinalis Gaertn.) As Rasayana and Its Free Radicals Scavenging Activity in Healthy Individuals on Basis of Time of Administration of Medicine” by Superoxide Dismutase Test (SOD) Banne, Satej T.; Rao, Gundappa S. was given for 30 days during (Kinchit Suryodayajate)during sunrise process time (06:00 a.m.) Group 2: Amalaki churna was given for 30 days at Midday meal time (12:00 pm) Group 3: Amalaki churna was given for 30 days at Night time (08:00 p.m.) Superoxide dismutase was assayed in all the study groups by the method devised by Marklund S, Marklund G modified by Nandi and Chatterjee. Blood samples were collected from all the subjects. Analysis of study was done by using Tukeys multiple posthoc procedure and one way ANOVA test. Result- The serum SOD levels were significantly decreased in group 1 (8.09 units/ml.) as compared to control (14.37 units/ml.), group 2 (9.74 units/ml.) and group 3 (9.77 units/ml.) respectively. Conclusion- These results provide enough evidence of increased oxidative stress and a compromised antioxidant defense system in groups of healthy individuals. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/8225 Role of Panchakarma and Rehabilitation Therapy in the Management of Pakshaghata (Hemiplegia)- A Case Study Malang, Armeda; Sahu, Lal Ravi; Gadhavi, Divyarajsinh; Mahesh, M Among the Tridosha, Vata is considered as the controller of everything in the Sharira.
