Modern lifestyle and advanced technology have given life easier, but this has led to many diseases. In advanced lifestyle irregular eating habits, eating unhealthy foods and eating spicy fast food has become a fashion and alcohol consumption is increasing day by day. All of these factors lead to different disorders. Kamala is one among the diseases which are caused due to excessive intake of sour food, alcohol, unhealthy food and when a person with Panduroga continues intake of Pittakara Aahara then he may develop Kamala. According to modern science, Kamala can be correlated with Jaundice. Clinically the Jaundice is a sign of an ongoing disease process with common signs and symptoms like yellowish discolourations of the skin, mucous membranes, the eyes, urine etc. It is characterized by increase deposition of bile pigments in body fluids and tissues. It is perceptible only when the bilirubin level and its conjugates exceeds 1.5 mg/ 100ml plasma. Here is the case study of a patient who appeared to Parul Ayurved Hospital with the history of oedema over the bilateral lower limbs, heaviness in abdomen and chest region in the last 1 year, fever since 4-5 months and yellowish discolourations of eyes, nails and urine are present. In the present study, the patient was treated with Ayurvedic treatments i.e. Virechana Karma and Shamana Chikitsa.
Dermatomyositis (DM) is the most frequently occurring Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy (IIM) of skeletal muscles causing proximal muscles weakness. The average age at which this disease affects is 40 years and almost twice as many women are affected as men. Its prevalence rate is 2-10 per 1,00,000 in the general population. The actual cause is unknown but the disease has much common with autoimmune disorder in which your immune system mistakenly attacks our body tissue. Small blood vessel in muscular tissue are particularly affected in dermatomyositis. In this disease the ESR and CPK is usually raised. Due to similarity in the signs and symptoms, we can correlate this disease with Mamsavrita-Vata and its treatment can be planned according to it. Here is the case study of 40 years old female patient, diagnosed as Dermatomyositis since 3 months. Patient admitted in Panchakarma ward of Parul Ayurved Hospital, Vadodara. The Panchakarma procedures like Udvartana, Nitya Virechana, Basti Chikitsa, Shasti Shali Pinda Sweda and Shamana Aushadi like Cap Palsineuron and Guduchi Rasayana etc. are given. At the end of the treatment marked improvements were seen in the patient, like reduced ESR and CPK levels. Also the symptoms of the disease reduced significantly.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is a common senile disease. The present modern conservative management includes use of alpha blockers and 5 alpha reductase inhibitors. In operative management various type of operative procedure may be done, out of which most commonly done now-a-days is TURP. However, both of these modalities cause various side effects. Through Ayurveda we can find solution for this burning problem of society. In Ayurved Samhitas, symptoms of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia described under Mutraghata disease. There are 12 types of Mutraghata; one of them is Vatashthila, which can be correlated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia disease. The general treatment of Mutraghata includes Uttar basti . Though Uttar basti is a traditionally used therapy, its efficacy with Dhanyak Gokshur Ghrita Yavakshar is not yet evaluated in the management of BPH. Uttar basti is cost effective and it may avoid surgery which ultimately results in increased quality of life of patients. So, in present clinical study, efficacy of Dhanyak Gokshur Ghrita Yavakshar Uttar basti in Vatashthila with special reference to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is evaluated.
