Full textAbstract:
Wounds are a natural part of everyday life that can be successfully treated with the knowledge of Ayurveda. Ayurveda is the study of science that is based on herbal remedies. A wound must progress through vrana shodhana (wound purification) and vrana roopana (wound healing) and pass through the four stages of wound healing; dushta vrana (septic wound), shudh vrana (clean wound), roohyamana vrana (healing wound), and roodha vrana (healed wound). Through this, Ayurveda has revealed knowledge for treating conditions that can’t be treating by the modern medicine. Ghee-based herbal formulations claimed to promote wound healing in traditional practices. This article aims to provide probable scientific explanations for using medicated ghrita (ghee) as wound healing formulation in Ayurvedic system of medicine and its clinical importance.
Keywords: Ayurveda, Wound, Ghrita, Wound healing.

Since ancient times, crude drugs have been used as medicines and are of great importance for human beings. However, traditional knowledge about the use of medicinal plants is eroding day by day, and there was a need to document the everyday experience of these indigenous medicinal plants. Ayurveda describes the medicinal values and uses of plants for healthcare. By the course of time, various new plants got added to Ayurvedic material medica, Dravyaguna Vigyan. Tricholepis glaberrima (Brahmadandi) is one of them. This plant has great importance due to its nutritive value and a significant source of medicines as they have been found throughout human history.This plant is mostly used for its aphrodisiac property, but several unknown activities need to be taken seriously. This mini-review paper encompasses the Ayurvedic aspects as well as the phytochemistry structure and pharmacological activities of the Brahmadandi plant. The current review focuses on the updated information from various scientific studies and reports available in the context of the phytoconstituents and pharmacology of this plant. This review also provides adequate information about the use of this plant in an Indian system of medicine, Ayurveda.

In our increasingly stressed world, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic, the activation of the threat network in everyday situations can adversely affect our mental and physical health. Neurophysiological response to these threats/challenges depends on the type of challenge and the individual’s neuroadaptability. Neuroadaptability is defined as the ability of the nervous system to alter responsiveness over time to reoccurring stimuli. Neuroadaptability differs from neuroplasticity, which is more inclusive and refers to the ability of the nervous system to change and learn from any experience. We examine neuroadaptability and how it affects health from the perspective of modern medicine and Ayurveda.

Grahani roga is the most common infection of gastro-digestive system and seen regularly in everyday practice. In our works of art Grahani is depicted as an Agni adhishthana. Any unsettling influence in the situation with agni prompts Grahani roga. Grahani roga is one among the Ashtamahagadas. Ayurveda depicted the distinction of Mana and Shareera and their indistinguishable and associated connection in the body. In Ayurveda separate Nidana panchakas are not clarified for Grahani roga, as Samanyanidana is material and mental variable of Grahani roga in general. Grahani roga is a prevalent Pitta Vatadosha and the mental element can be effectively be upset by Vata and Pitta Dosha. Both Ayurveda and contemporary science acknowledge the way that for better administration and avoidance of Grahani roga (IBS,) mental variables are playing a huge part. So to eliminate an infection from its root, the causative elements ought to likewise be perceived and precluded totally. With the thought of expanding rate gastro-digestive illness across the globe and world is looking forward towards Ayurveda for safe treatment modalities, it is fundamental for discover the viable helpful strategies from our science. In this article a work is made to comprehend the job of mental component in Grahani roga.

The principal aim of Ayurveda is to maintain and promote positive physical and mental health as well as ensure the prevention of diseases. Sandhigata Vata is the commonest form of articular disorder. It is a type of Vatavyadhi which mainly occurs in Vriddhavastha due to Dhatukshaya, which limits everyday activities such as walking, dressing, bathing etc. It occurs due to change in lifestyle like unsuitable sitting, sleeping, standing and look upwards or obliquely in various professions. Osteoarthritis (OA) is degenerative joint disorder, represents failure of the diarthrodial (movable, synovial lined) joint. OA of the joints comes under the inflammatory group which is almost identical to Sandhigata Vata described in Ayurveda with respect to etiology, pathology, and clinical features. Marma therapy is one which gives instant relief from pain by balancing local Vata and Kapha Dosha without any untoward effects. In the present research work, total 15 diagnosed case of Sandhigata Vata were randomly selected from OPD and IPD of department of Shalya Tantra, Rishikul Campus, Uttarakhand Ayurveda University, Haridwar (U.K.) India, all these patients were treated with the application of Marma therapy. Result was observed on the basis of subjective and objective parameters and analysed statistically. No complications were observed in this clinical study.

Ayurveda the science of life, healthy and higher longevity are always desirable from it. In today's modern era due to atmosphere, lack of proper healthy diet, travelling and old age etc. metabolic and degenerative disease of connective tissue and the joint problem is quite affluent, and the disease occurrence starts early. Sandhi- gatavata (Osteoarthritis) is a disease due to vitiated Vata in various Sandhi or joints in the body. It is de- scribed under Vatavyadhi in almost every literature of Ayurveda. Clinically the description of Sandhigata Vata explained in theclassical texts is like the condition osteoarthritis in modern science. Sandhigata Vata is described under Vatavyadhi in all the Samhitas and Sangraha Granthas. Ayurveda highlighted degenerative diseases under the concepts like “Dhatu Saithilyam” and “Dhatu Kshayam”. Sandhigata Vata is one such disease, which needs a specific target of therapeutic intervention to check or slow down the process of “Dhatu Kshaya” and to pacify Vata. Sandhigatavata may be correlated with degenerative joint disease or Osteoarthritis, which in turn cripples the patient to the maximum, extends and reduces the total working ca- pacity of the person. It limits everyday activities such as walking, dressing, bathing etc., thus making indi- viduals handicapped. Keywords: Sandhigatavata, Osteoarthritis, Joint, Vata Vyadhi.

Skin disease makes as a great impact as other serious medical conditions when assessed by effects on health-related quality of life. There has been widespread acknowledgment that skin diseases can affect physical, social, and psychological aspects of patient’s everyday lives, as well as their partners, family, and friends, one such disease is Lichen planus. Lichen planus is a pruritic, benign, papulo-squamous, inflammatory dermatosis of unknown aetiology that affects either or all the skin, mucous membrane, hair, and nails. In its classical form, it presents with violaceous, scaly, flat topped, polygonal and papules. In classical texts of Ayurveda, the diagnosis is considered as Kitibha Kushtha. Kitibha Kushtha is vata and kapha dosha dominant condition in class of Kshudra Kushtha which has lakshanas like Shyava, Kina-khara sparsha, Parusha. Here, an effort was made to treat a thirty-eightyears old female diagnosed with Kitibha Kushtha vis-a-vis Lichen planus by classical Ayurveda regimens. She was administered with Shodhana therapies (bio-cleansing procedures) and then followed by intake of Thuvaraka rasayana and Shamana Aushadhis. The total duration of the treatment was 44 days, and the Study subject assessed before treatment and after treatment for improvement using Lichen planus Severity Index. All the symptoms observed in the beginning were found considerably reduced, and the severity also found mild.

Fever is a generalized body reaction to a variety of infectious and non-infectious causes. Fever was referred to as jwara by ancient Ayurvedic seers, and it was thought to be the most serious ofall diseases. Fever is described as a separate illness, a symptom, and a complication of many ailments in Ayurveda classics. Jwara is the first and most serious of all diseases, so it needs special attention. In this article, we will attempt to compile and evaluate Rasa yogas in jwara chikithsa from various Ayurvedic classics. Rasendra Sara Sangraha, Bhaishjya Rathnavali, Rasa Ratna Samucchaya, Rasa Tharangini and other works are reviewed in detail. In Rasasastra classics, these formulations are indicated separately for navajwara chikitsa, nirama jwara chikitsa, jeerna jwara chikitsa, vishama jwara chikitsa, and sannipatha jwara chikitsa. This article includes 112 formulations from various sources that have been classified based on their indications. There are certain peculiarities in the ingredients based on jwara avasthas that can be discovered by studying these formulations. The majority of these formulations are herbo-mineral compounds that come in tablet form, making dosage, administration, and palatability more convenient. A few of these formulations are commercially available for common clinical practise. Antipyretic use is excessive in everyday life in the present pandemic situation. The aim of this study is to raise awareness of these particular formulations in the health-care system so that they can be applied to community needs. Key words: fever, jwara, navajwara, vishama jwara, nirama jwara, sannipatha jwara, herbo mineral formulations, rasa yogas.

Sandhigata Vata (Osteoarthritis) is a type of Vatavyadhi (degenerative disease) that mainly occurs in Vrid- dhavastha (Old age) due to Dhatukshaya (cellular degeneration). Vagabhatta has also considered Vata Vyadhi as a Maharoga. It appears from the point of view of modern medical sciences that Sandhigata vata can be simulated with Osteoarthritis in its clinical appearance. Osteoarthritis is the most common articular disorder that begins asymptomatically in the 2nd and 3rddecades and is extremely common by age 70. Almost all persons by age 40 have some pathologic change in the weight-bearing joint. 25% of females and 16% males have symptomatic OA. This disease has been described in Ayurveda from ancient times. The disease Arthritis causes work disability. It limits everyday activities such as walking, dressing, bathing etc, thus making individuals handicapped. No treat- ment is available which can prevent the disease process. In western medical science, mainly analgesics, anti- inflammatory drugs or surgery are the options for the treatment of Osteoarthritis; don’t provide remarkable recov- ery but causes great adverse effect. Researchers are trying their level best for making drugs that can prevent or slow down or reverse joint damage. Panchakarma therapy is one of the important branches of Ayurveda, which deals mainly with the purification of the aggravated Doshas from the human system. This is the reason behind the selection of the topic entitled “A COMPARATIVE CLINICAL STUDY OF MATRA VASTI AND PICHU WITH RASNA TAILA IN SANDHIGATA VATA W.S.R TO OSTEOARTHRITIS”. We have used Panchakarma treatment procedure. Panchakarma treatment is believed to help in the radical elimi- nation of the disease-causing factors and maintain the equilibrium of doshas. The selection of Matravasti and pichu both are based on repeated recommendations of different Acharyas on Sandhigatavata. We used Rasna taila.

The practice of medicine is ever evolving. Diagnosing disease, which is often the first step in a cure, has seen a sea change from the discerning hands of the neighborhood physician to the use of sophisticated machines to use of information gleaned from biomarkers obtained by the most minimally invasive of means. The last 100 or so years have borne witness to the enormous success story of allopathy, a practice that found favor over earlier practices of medical purgatory and homeopathy. Nevertheless, failures of this approach coupled with the omics and bioinformatics revolution spurred precision medicine, a platform wherein the molecular profile of an individual patient drives the selection of therapy. Indeed, precision medicine-based therapies that first found their place in oncology are rapidly finding uses in autoimmune, renal and other diseases. More recently a new renaissance that is shaping everyday life is making its way into healthcare. Drug discovery and medicine that started with Ayurveda in India are now benefiting from an altogether different artificial intelligence (AI)—one which is automating the invention of new chemical entities and the mining of large databases in health-privacy-protected vaults. Indeed, disciplines as diverse as language, neurophysiology, chemistry, toxicology, biostatistics, medicine and computing have come together to harness algorithms based on transfer learning and recurrent neural networks to design novel drug candidates, a priori inform on their safety, metabolism and clearance, and engineer their delivery but only on demand, all the while cataloging and comparing omics signatures across traditionally classified diseases to enable basket treatment strategies. This review highlights inroads made and being made in directed-drug design and molecular therapy.

Lifestyle Disorders (LSD) are common problems among upper-middle and higher society children. Lifestyle has long been associated with the development of many chronic diseases. It affects both genders. WHO has recognized Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), especially diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic lung disease, have everyday lifestyle linked risk factors like lack of physical activity, unhealthy diet and feeding habits and harmful use of alcohol. Worldwide, the current scenario of NCDs is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality, even in young children. According to WHO Report 2004, these account for nearly 60% of deaths and 47% of the global burden of illness. The rise in NCDs is substantially accelerating in most developing countries like India. In India, 53% of the deaths in 2008 were due to NCDs, and cardiovascular disease (CVDs) alone accounted for 24% of deaths (WHO). In 2005 India experienced the highest loss in potentially productive years of life globally, and the leading cause of death was cardiovascular disease. The cumulative loss of national income for India due to NCDs mortality for 2006-2015 was around USD237 billion. By 2030, this productivity loss is estimated to double to 17.9 million years lost. These major NCDs are preventable through effective Ayurvedic interventions by judiciously treating lifestyle-related modifiable risk factors. This review confers the current scenario of NCDs in children and their Ayurvedic Management.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a common and disabling disorder characterized by persistent worrying, anxiety symptoms and tension about a variety of everyday problems for a period of at least 6 months [1]. The symptoms of this disease shows resemblance with the Chittodwega (Excited state of mind) which is one among the Manovikara (disease of mind) explained by Acharya Charaka. The contemporary management of this disease employs anxiolytics to be used in long run which is not conducive to health. This a case of 57 year old gentleman who presented with persistent anxiety and inability to relax . Based on signs and symptoms he was diagnosed as a case of GAD according to the ICD 10 F41.1 criteria. Treatment planned was Nasya (nasal administration) and Abhyanga (massage) followed by Shamanaushadhis (internal medicines). Brahmi gritha (medicated ghee) is widely practised as Paana (internal administartion) but in this case we have used it for nasal administration as it is the easiest way of delivering the potency of a drug to brain. Assessment of the condition of the patient before and after the treatment was done using Hamilton’s Anxiety Rating Scale to evaluate efficacy of treatment. After the completion of schedule of one week of IP treatment and further 21 days of OP level administration of medicine, a significant reduction in score from 18 to 13 on Hamilton’s Anxiety Rating Scale and improvement in symptoms was observed.

Full textAbstract:
In the last decade, a controversy has arisen over a specific type of herbo-mineral ayurvedic preparations called bhasmas (Skt. bhasman). The controversy mainly concerned serious complications or even the death of patients after having taken these medicines. Since these medicines were metal-based preparations, and specifically included lead or mercury, their toxicity was interpreted as causing the patients’ suffering. In response to that, in public discourse a plethora of writing on the issue of toxicity in ayurvedic medicines ensued, both accusatory and defensive in tone. This laid out the potential for their condemnation, with serious implications for their credibility, not to speak of their markets. This article attempts to analyse this writing, focusing mainly on the academic publications, from the perspective of the politics of knowledge. It will argue that hierarchies in the epistemologies of medical knowledge systems guide the scientific analysis of these herbo-mineral preparations, some of which contain mercury, illustrating how this happens through publications that are unequivocally critical of bhasmas, those that are defensive of them, and those that indicate a median position. It will also analyse the possible regulatory and manufacturing regimes that can emerge when a certain kind of balanced analysis informs policy-making. Focusing on the modes of translation between epistemologies of different knowledge systems that have characterised the process of making ‘traditional’ knowledge contemporary, it shows how this principally reflects the hierarchy between dominant and marginal knowledge on an everyday basis, affecting most production and marketing decisions, that backfire not only on specific products, but affect an evaluation of the system as a whole.

The history of saline nasal irrigation (SNI) is indeed a long one, beginning from the ancient Ayurvedic practices and gaining a foothold in the west at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, there is a growing number of papers covering the effects of SNI, from in vitro studies to randomized clinical trials and literature overviews. Based on the recommendations of most of the European and American professional associations, seawater, alone or in combination with other preparations, has its place in the treatment of numerous conditions of the upper respiratory tract (URT), primarily chronic (rhino)sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, acute URT infections and postoperative recovery. Additionally, taking into account its multiple mechanisms of action and mounting evidence from recent studies, locally applied seawater preparations may have an important role in the prevention of viral and bacterial infections of the URT. In this review we discuss results published in the past years focusing on seawater preparations and their use in clinical and everyday conditions, since such products provide the benefits of additional ions vs. saline, have an excellent safety profile and are recommended by most professional associations in the field of otorhinolaryngology.

he ancient science of Ayurveda is an integral form of medicine and health, which primarily aims at prevention of diseases and promotes positive well-being. The eyes are considered as one of the most vital organs of the body because vision plays a crucial role in social and intellectual development of a person. Moreover, about 80% of the knowledge we gain through the eye only. So, our existence and status in this universe are directly inuenced by the eye. Many of the problems can be eliminated avoiding faulty lifestyles. Smoking, tobacco, and alcohol consumption, high fatty diet and junk food, chronic stress, prolonged exposure to bright light from computer and TV screen are few examples causing damage to eye health. Clinical conditions like CVS, diabetic retinopathy, dry eyes, ARMD, glaucoma may occur as a result. According to Ayurveda the eye diseases can be prevented for a long time by following specic points in life in form of Dinacharya, Ritucharya, Swasthvritta, and taking chakshyusya Rasayana etc. These preventive aspects along with some specic eye procedures explained in form of kriyakalpas can be practiced in everyday life to prevent lifestyle related eye disorder. Ayurvedic perspectives regarding of eye health are explored in the article.

Uterine fibroids are the commonest benign tumor of the uterus and also the commonest benign solid tumor in the female. It can cause significant morbidity in women of a reproductive life span. The exact cause of uterine fibroid is unknown. Prevalence of uterine fibroid 5 -20 % of women in the reproductive age group. It can cause significant morbidity in women of a reproductive life span. Not all fibroids cause symptoms. 50% of women are asymptomatic. Fibroids mainly cause symptoms like menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea and cause pressure symptoms on adjacent viscera i. e. bladder, uterus, rectum which affects the everyday activities of women. In Ayurveda all gynecological disease explained under the term yonivyapad. It can be explained as the anatomical and functional abnormalities of the female reproductive system. In Ayurveda granthi can be correlated with the uterine fibroid. In modern science uterine fibroid treats medically, surgically. But it is challenging to establish a satisfactory conservatory medical treatment to date. so in Ayurveda the main purpose is the management of granthi by samprapti vighatan by use of medicine.

Lifestyle disorder is an umbrella term given to all the diseases which arise because of unhealthy lifestyle. Lifestyle diseases, a subset of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a result of the way we live, work and go about our everyday lives. Developing countries like India is predicted to have most number of Lifestyle related patients in the next 10 years in the entire world. Health promotion and preventive health approaches are proven effective strategies in reducing disease burden with lower costs compared to the cost of NCD treatment. There is a definite need of an approach to understand the psycho-somatic impact on the human body and emerging lifestyle diseases. And the hope to treat Lifestyle diseases definitely brighten with the broader approach of Ayurveda. Ayurveda provides better solution in the forms of proper dietary management, lifestyle advises, Panchakarma like detoxification and bio-purification procedure and rejuvenation therapies. If the factors involved in pathogenesis of these lifestyle disorders are reviewed on the basis of Ayurveda, the symptoms shows Agnidushti, Kaphadushti, Mansavaha and Medovahadushti. Life style disorders can be prevented through Panchakarma as it prevents vitiated Kapha, Meda etc. along with stress and strain of mind as well as body.

ABSTRACT:-
Menstruation is a normal physiological process. Accompanied with intolerable pain, it is called as Dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common disorders which suffer 60% of women between 15-45 ages. It causes severe pain & discomfort in everyday activities for several days each month. Uses of modern medicines like anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic drug, hormonal therapy are still unsatisfactory in giving relief and may cause unwanted effects.
Ayurvedic classics defined Udavarta Yoni vyapat; here the menstruation is accompanied with severe pain. It disappears on beginning of menstruation. According to Ayurveda menstruation is controlled & governed by Apan vayu. Due to movement of Apan vayu in opposite direction or disturbance obstruction in the flow of vayu may cause severe pain just prior to menstruation called as Udavarta yoni vyapat.
There are many treatments for Udavarta Yoni vyapat in Ayurveda, which are non-hormonal, non-surgical & most effective without side effect. Among these Dashmoola Tail Anuvasan Basti mentioned in Charak Samhita was selected in present study.
KEY WORD:-
Udavarta yoni vyapat, Dashmoola Tail Matra Basti.

Full textAbstract:
In the Ayurvedic classics the aetiopathogenesis and symptomatology of Sandhigata vata is described in concise form. Clinically the description of Sandhigata vata explained in the classical texts is similar to the condition osteoarthritis in modern science. Sandhigatavata is described under Vatavyadhi in all the Samhitas and Sangraha Granthas. In Vriddhavastha, all Dhatus undergo Kshaya, Thus leading to Vataprakopa and making individual prone to many diseases. Among them Sandhigatavata stands top in the list. Having the symptoms like pain, swelling, crepitus, and restricted joint movements. Ayurveda highlighted degenerative diseases under the concepts like “Dhatu saithilyam†and “Dhatu kshayamâ€. Sandhigata Vata is one of such disease, which needs a specific target of therapeutic intervention to check or slow down the process of “Dhatu kshaya†and to pacify Vata. Sandhigatavata may be correlated with degenerative joint disease or Osteoarthritis, which in turn cripples the patient to the maximum, extends and reduces the total working capacity of the person. It limits everyday activities such as walking, dressing, bathing etc., thus making individual handicapped

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Maulana Ashraf `Ali Thanawi, a reformist Islamic scholar, was very much part of his times in his urgent concern with women’s potential role in individual and societal “improvement,” the goal of the enormously successful encyclopedic work that included the chapter considered here. Thanawi’s teachings included generic elite male “best practices” on health and ethics, undergirded by Greco-Arabic humoral medicine in its Indian form. His text caught a historical moment when medical treatments were more craft than industrial, and when the professionalization of discrete Muslim and Hindu “systems” of Unani Tibb and Ayurveda, with Ayurveda increasingly incorporated into majoritarian Hindu nationalism, was only incipient. Health maintenance in Thanawi’s hands was a matter of empowering women to both spiritual and practical competence and responsibility, freeing them from resort to (as he saw it) quacks, ignorant midwives, and untrained women, along with dubious healers and holy men, Muslim or Hindu or any other. In its description of challenges, strategies, and resources related to health, his text offers a window into women’s everyday world. But it also raises comparative questions about the history of medicine, the history of emotions, ethnicity in a colonial context, and the potentially empowering implications of Islamic socio-religious reform for women.

International journal of health sciences, April 15, 2022, 4774–81. http://dx.doi.org/10.53730/ijhs.v6ns1.5453.
Full textAbstract:
Ethno-medicines have been playing a vital role throughout human history in the day to day healthcare routine. Before the evolution of western medicine, for thousands of years, people have been using traditional medicine for the treatment of different diseases. With cancer being the major threat to human community, ethnomedicine can have a significant role in cancer prevention and cure. Among all the medicinal plants, Ocimum sanctum Linn has certain chemo-preventive molecules and compounds that contain anti-carcinogenic properties. Ocimum tenuiflorum Linn or Holy Basil has been prominently used as a medicinal herb, since ancient times in India. Ayurveda, one of the widely practised forms of ethnomedicine in India, uses O. sanctum L. extensively in its formulations of cancer-treating medicines. It is used either with other ingredients as a concoction or as a dry extract itself. This paper deals with the anti-carcinogenic properties of the Holy Basil as studied by pharmacologists and biotechnologists that has the potential to cure different types of cancer diseases. Ocimum Sanctum has been used in different studies for its potential usage on diseases like lung cancer, skin cancer and breast cancer.

"Study of Nidan (Etiological Factors) Responsible For Manyastambha With Respect To Cervical Spondylosis in Present Era – A Study Protocol." Journal of Pharmaceutical Research International, June 4, 2021, 59–64. http://dx.doi.org/10.9734/jpri/2021/v33i30b31640.
Full textAbstract:
Background: In Ayurveda, Manyastambha is defined as Manyahakriyahani. It is the clinical entity in which the back of the neck becomes stiff, and the neck movement is impaired. Manyastambha is explained one of the Vataja Nanatmaja Vikara by Acharyas. Manyastambha occurs in Urdhwajatru pradesha. It can be correlated with cervical Spondylosis in modern medicine. Cervical Spondylosis is a condition in which degenerative changes are found in the cervical spine. The bony overgrowth of adjacent vertebrae is usually associated with age-related changes in intervertebral discs. In today's era, because of stressful and fast lifestyle, people suffering from various degenerative diseases. Manyastambha is one of the lifestyle disorders which is caused due to excessive use of motor vehicle, travelling, constantly sitting and functioning for a longer duration, lifting heavy weights, lack of exercise or yogas, taking unhealthy foods. Ruk (pain) and Stambha (stiffness) are the main symptoms of Manyastambha. So to prevent the increasing rate of Manyastambha patients, we need to rule out the exact cause from the Nidanas given by Acharyas and correlate it with cervical Spondylosis. Manyastambha (Cervical Spondylosis) is one of the most everyday orthopaedic problems faced by the primary problem.
Aim: Studying Nidan (etiological factors) responsible for Manyastambha concerning cervical Spondylosis in the present era.
Methods: This study will be observational; subjects mainly diagnosed for manyastambha will be recruited in this study and observe the causative factors responsible for that particular subject.
Results: The Result will be based on observation and analyzed data.
Conclusion: The Nidana, which are most likely to cause Manyastambha in patients, provides proper guidelines to the patients.

Janusandhigatavata is also correlated to Knee osteoarthritis due to resemblance in sign and symptoms i.e. joint pain, stiffness, muscle weakness, swelling of knee joint, deformed joint, reduced range of motion and loss of use of the joints and cracking sounds. When the vitiated vata lodges in janusandhi (knee joint) it is considered as Janusandhigatavata. In Ayurvedic classics Sandhigatavata is among eighty Nanatmaja Vata Vyadhi. The aetiopathogenesis, symptoms and treatment of Sandhigata vata is described under Vatavyadhi which is found in a very concise form. Among joint disease, Osteoarthritis is often seen out of which the functional disability in the knee joint is incredibly common in elderly. The approaches in therapies mainly carried out are physiotherapy or pharmacological therapy, but these approaches are limited over time by their cost and/or side effects. It is characterized by pain, shiftiness with decreased range of motion in the knee joint which is very common complaint for many people. With the advancement in working pattern and age-factors has become prime cause for aggravation of Vata dosha, which does dhatukshaya (depletion of tissues) and Balakshaya (reduced strength). Knee joint is weight bearing, strongest and most important joint in the body. Movements at the knee joint are essential for all everyday activities, including walking, running, sitting and standing. Different modalities of treatment have been explained in the Ayurvedic classics to tackle the condition effectively. Here, an attempt has been made for a systematic review on this disease with an approach to Ayurvedic management.
