Background: The ancient traditional system of medicine of India knows as "Ayurveda" uses natural sources as the base of medicine as per fundamental principles. The traditional folk healers also retain such knowledge gained from their ancestors of proper usage of natural resources available in their native flora, for the management of disease. Hence this study was planned to document tribal knowledge from the Jawhar and Shahapur Forest division of Maharashtra, India and verified with reported information of the Ayurveda.Methods: Data was collected by recording detail interview of 47 respondents during Medico-ethno-botanical survey in the year 2018-19. Collected data was analyzed using quantitative tools, like Use Value (UV), Informant Consensus Factor (ICF), Family Importance Value (FIV), and Fidelity Level (FL). Collected claims were also validated from 20 books including classical textbooks of Ayurveda and ethno medicine and other search engines.Results: Total 182 Ethno medicinal claims consisting of 10 compound formulations were reported for combating 68 different types of diseases and symptoms. Data of 99 plant species belonging to 88 genera and 48 families were recorded from 47 respondents. The highest use value (UV) 0.13 was recorded for Holarrhena pubescens Wall. ex G. Don and Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers. It was observed that 16 claims of a single drug and all compound formulations are not recorded in the classical textbooks of Ayurveda Conclusion: Almost 95% of tribal health practice is according to the Ayurveda. However, novel folk claims could be explored for bioactive and further pharmacological activities to introduce in Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia.

“…Nadi tharangini is an instrument which produce individualized report on nadi readings while also taking into consideration variations due to geographical location, and climatic condition. Nadi tharangini is claiming that it is an ideal fit for doctors who are practitioners of Ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopathy, acupuncture and alternative traditional medicines to unmask really helpful information about the patients 11 . The nadi examined is shown in the form of a graph which simplifies the prognosis.…”

“…So arterial stiffness is measured from three locations is analyzed significantly across vata, pitta and kapha locations ,that is the pressure wave as it propagates from central to peripheral arteries gets amplified at peripheral arteries due to multiple reflections from various reflection sites. As a result due to the pulse amplification peripheral arteries do not give accurate results in cardio vascular studies and hence arterial stiffness measured from peripheral arteries are not used as a surrogate for aortic and carotid stiffness 12 .As the significance of arterial stiffness is well understood from the text of Ayurveda and also from the recent studies nadi tharangini could be dealt with tridosha aspect also.…”

Acharya’s who are considered as apta have explained well about importance of nadi pareeksha in diagnosis of disease in classical books of Ayurveda. Yoga ratnakara, Sarangadara samhitha, Bsavarajeeyam, Bava prakasha have mentioned about nadi pareeksha in Ayurveda. By the nadi pareeksha one can get so many factors such as Gati,Vega, Sthiratwa,Katinyata of the nadi and by the proper examination one will be able to diagnose the disease. Nadi pareeksha can be correlated to the pulse examination and now days the concept of relation between pulse wave velocity and heart disease has gained much attention and being analyzed so proper nadi pareeksha becomes more important. In this background the present article discusses the need of a proper instrument for examining nadi and comparison of existing two such instruments.

“…The qualities or properties of pulse such as pulse movement (gati), speed of pulse (sthiratva) and hardness of artery (kathinya) were analyzed which play an important role in pulse examination which were also compared with the modern pulse parameters viz. pulse wave velocity, pulse rate variability and arterial stiffness with reference to pulse wave velocity in cardiovascular studies were discussed 18 .…”

Nadi pariksha deals with the science of assessing the functional status of pulse for diagnosis of healthy mind, body and even soul. The presence of nadi (pulse) in an individual signifies the existence of life. Ayurveda visualizes nadi pariksha being performed to analyze and access the quantity of tridosha in body i.e. nadi provides a platform for diagnosis of normal and vitiated doshas in the body. Nadi pariksha serves as an important diagnostic tool for examination of pulse and it's importance is described in Astavidhapariksha, as one of the important diagnostic measures in ayurvedic literature. The concept of nadi pariksha was visualized in various ayurvedic texts like Sharangdhar Samhita, Yoga Ratnakar, Basavarajeeyam, Bhava Prakasha as well as in Nadi Prakasha by Ravan Samhita and Nadi vigyan by Kanad. The traditional knowledge of nadi pariksha in Ayurveda was practiced since a long time but, these documents need to be assessed as the quality of pulse described was qualitative and the same needs to be well analyzed in quantitatively for practical implication of nadi with scientific approach. This paper deals with the ancient development of diagnostic tool of examination of pulse in parlance with modern approach hence an extensive search was undertaken using key words as Nadi, Nadi pariksha etc in Google scholar, Pubmed, Google as well as ayurvedic literatures were also studied so as to re-establish facts which could be helpful in future.
