Introduction: Ayurveda depicts a disease named ‘Karshya’ which goes hand in hand with the clinical entity ‘Under-nutrition’ in contemporary science. Aim & Objectives: The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of ‘Pathadi churna’ and Protein Powder as oral administration in preschool children suffering from Under-nutrition. Methodology- The trial was a randomized parallel group carried out in 30 children aged 3 to 6 years presenting with the clinical features of under-nutrition who were divided into two groups equally. In Pathadi churna (group A-trial) and protein powder (control, group B), Pathadi churna and protein powder respectively was given in dosage according to age as per Young’s formula for 60 days. Results were analyzed according to frequency %, PEM (protein energy malnutrition) gradation shift, changes in assessment parameters, and the level of significance were noted by using Wilcoxon signed rank test and the Student’s paired t-test. Results- Significant results were noted in Daurabalya (~Fatigue) in both the groups whereas the Pathadi churna group showed significant results in the Agnimandya (~Lack of appetite & poor digestion), weight, weight for height, BMI, PEM gradation, and the values of hemoglobin, serum proteins & calcium. On comparing both groups, statistically significant differences were seen in Pathadi churna than Protein powder. Conclusion- Significant results were seen in Daurbalya in both the groups but on comparison more significant effects were noted for all subjective and objective criteria in the Pathadi churna group. No ADR was reported in the study. Further large sample studies with standard control would render better evidence in results with justification.

In Ayurveda, there is a number of herbal drugs such as Elaeocarpus ganitrus Rauwolfia serpentine, Terminalia arjuna, Nordostachysjatamansi, Boerhaviadiffusa Brahmi vati, etc. used by the Ayurveda physicians to treat the condition of Hypertension. The utility of these drugs both by experimental studies and clinical studies are carried out by researchers. Aim: In the present review paper an attempt is made to identify the potential use of the Ayurvedic drugs as antihypertensive agents. Conclusion: The review finds that the most explored and every now and again used therapeutic plants for the treatment of hypertension are Jatamamsi, Sarpagandha, Rason, and Arjuna. The review finds that the most explored and now and again used therapeutic plants for the treatment of hypertension are Jatamamsi, Sarpagandha, Rason, and Arjuna. Moreover, we found that there are logical confirmations of the utilization of some Ayurvedic herbal plants for the treatment of high BP. There should be rational use of these drugs in hypertension and need to increase the demand to all doctors worldwide. There is a need for further research to identify the gaps in previous research studies.
