Psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune skin disorder, poses a significant challenge for those affected, manifesting as red, scaly plaques primarily found on the elbows, knees, scalp, and trunk, thereby impacting both the physical and psychological well-being of patients. While conventional modern medicine mainly offers symptomatic relief through medications like immunosuppressants and topical treatments, the condition often exhibits a tendency to relapse. In contrast, Ayurveda, known for its holistic healing approach, presents a distinctive perspective on managing psoriasis in the long term. This traditional system of medicine offers a ray of hope through therapies such as Virechana Chikitsa, a form of therapeutic purgation aimed at balancing the body's internal processes. Here, we discuss Ayurvedic treatment for a 32-year-old female patient with plaque psoriasis who had erythematous plaques all over her body, including the anterior surface of the legs, right forehand, and neck region. The therapy approach followed Ayurvedic samprapti (pathophysiology), and the patient recovered entirely without experiencing any unpleasant consequences. The value of a nutritious food as a health promoter is also reaffirmed. Photographic evidence was recorded with the patient's agreement during further treatment and regular follow-ups. Through exploring the Ayurvedic viewpoint on psoriasis, this article delves into the potential efficacy of Virechana therapy and its positive impact on individuals grappling with this challenging skin condition.

Shalyatantra is a branch of Ayurveda that deals with Ayurvedic surgery and provides regimens for the management of surgical conditions. It focuses on the removal of foreign bodies and conditions that require surgical or nonsurgical treatment which includes injuries and deformities etc.Vrana, Bhagna, Arsha, Bhagandar, Arbud etc. are some pathological conditions that can be treated effectively using various approaches of Shalyatantra. For the management of several surgical conditions kshar sutra, Shastra and Anushastra etc. mainly employed in the practice of Shalyatantra. The modern approaches of shalyatantra utilizes for appendectomy, gall bladder removal, hernia repair and chronic ano-rectal diseases etc. Ayurveda Shalya Chikitsa reduces chances of reoccurrence of infection. Present article explain role of Shalya Tantra towards the management of specific diseases which requiring surgical attention.

When evaluated in terms of its impact on health-related quality of life, skin diseases are just as significant as other serious medical problems. A large non-fatal burden is caused by skin disorders, which are the fourth most common cause of illness in humans. Skin conditions are frequently seen as a result of changed lifestyles, poor hygiene, emotional stress, overeating, lack of exercise, and nutritional deficiencies. In Ayurveda, all skin conditions fall under the general category of Kushta, which is further subdivided into Mahakusta and Kshudra Kusta. Kshudra Kusta, which mimics the symptoms and indicators of psoriasis, includes Eka Kushtha. Psoriasis is a chronic condition that is frequently seen in clinical settings nowadays, which explains its high prevalence. It needs long-term treatment because it is relapsing in nature. AIM AND Objectives- To assess the efficacy of Ayurvedic Treatment protocol in management of Plaque psoriasis- Eka-Kustha. Material and Methods- Centre of study: This study was carried out in OPD of Dravyaguna, in Government Ayurveda college and hospital, Pratap Nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan. Observation and Result- The vitiation of Vata, Pitta and Rakta Doshas, which impact Rasa, Rakta and Mamsa Dhatu (Dushya), is indicated by severe itching, dry scales, and burning sensation throughout the lower limbs during baseline visits. During the baseline visit, illness conditions were classified as Saama because of symptoms such constipation, sleep difficulty, and low appetite. Therefore, Kushtha and the Pitta-Rakta-Vata predominance of the Saama stage were taken into consideration when designing the treatment strategy. Disscussion And Conclusion- This case study illustrates how Ayurvedic treatments significantly reduced psoriatic lesions, with DLQI score improvement from 85%-before treatment to 13%-after treatment to 8%-in follow up, the PDI score improvement from 86%-before treatment to 55%-after treatment to 31%-in follow up, the PASI score improvement from 36-before treatment to 12-after treatment to 08-in follow up showing a noteworthy improvement.

Alopecia totalis is a severe autoimmune condition characterized by complete hair loss on the scalp and often accompanied by the loss of eyebrows and body hair. Globally, alopecia areata affects approximately 2% of the population, with alopecia totalis representing a more advanced and less common form [1,2]. This paper presents a compelling case of a 12-year-old female patient suffering from alopecia totalis for the past 7–8 months. The hair loss had a sudden onset and progressed rapidly, leading to complete baldness on the scalp and loss of eyebrows and hand hair. Conventional treatments offer limited results in such autoimmune conditions, and relapses are common [2]. However after initiating homeopathic treatment at Dr Batra’s the patient showed promising improvement — regrowth of hair was observed. This paper explores the holistic and individualized management of alopecia totalis using homeopathy, emphasizing the importance of symptom totality and mental-emotional factors

Nephrotic Syndrome is a chronic kidney disorder primarily affecting children, characterized by heavy proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. Globally, the incidence in children is estimated at 2–7 per 100,000 annually, with the highest prevalence seen between ages 2 and 6 years【1] While corticosteroids remain the mainstay in conventional medicine, they often lead to dependency and recurrent relapses【2】 A constitutional homeopathic approach offers an alternative, aiming at long-term immunological balance by treating the individual holistically, not merely the disease label【3】. This case presents a 6-year-old boy, first diagnosed at age 3 with nephrotic syndrome, following recurrent facial edema, proteinuria (+++), a high protein-creatinine ratio, and yearly relapses. This paper documents the therapeutic journey, highlighting the integration of miasmatic understanding, individualized remedy selection, and follow-ups over a 12-month period at Dr Batra’s. Marked reduction in relapse frequency, improved emotional resilience, and resolution of proteinuria were observed. This case adds to the growing body of evidence supporting individualized homeopathy in chronic pediatric kidney disorders like Nephrotic Syndrome【8】

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated skin disease marked by red, scaly, and itchy plaques. It affects approximately 2–3% of the global population, with a higher prevalence observed in colder climates and among individuals with significant psychological stress [1]. The case study of a 36-year-old male with extensive psoriasis he suffered for years, unable to wear a t-shirt confidently due to visible lesions. His condition worsened under the emotional pressure resulting in frequent relapses despite intermittent allopathic treatment. A homeopathic approach was initiated at Dr Batra’s focusing on core. Over a 16-month treatment period, the patient showed marked improvement — physically and emotionally. The case supports the holistic healing through constitutional homeopathic remedies in managing chronic autoimmune skin diseases [2][3].

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory skin condition characterized by pruritus, erythema, and xerosis. It is most commonly associated with personal or familial atopic conditions like asthma or allergic rhinitis. Globally, it affects approximately 15–20% of children and 2–10% of adults [1]. This paper presents a case of atopic dermatitis in an adult female. It explores how homeopathic management led to progressive skin improvement by addressing the underlying susceptibility rather than focusing only on the visible manifestations.

Joint pain, which is frequently brought on by diseases like psoriatic arthritis, gout, and arthritis, has a major negative impact on both patient health and healthcare systems. The goal of this research is to create and assess a non-pressurized polyherbal spray that can be applied topically to effectively treat joint pain. Each of the four medicinal ingredients in the formulation—Nirgundi (Vitex negundo Linn.), Guggul (Commiphora wightii), Menthol (Mentha), and Bhimseni Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora)—has analgesic and anti-inflammatory qualities. Different amounts of ethanol, water, glycerin, and DMSO were used to create a range of spray formulations that served as co-solvents and permeation enhancers. A thorough physicochemical assessment of the optimized formulation was conducted, covering pH, viscosity, evaporation time, spray pattern, and average dose weight. The findings showed that the polyherbal spray was eco-friendly, stable, and easy to use. It also showed promise for treating localized pain and improving patient compliance. This study provides a promising substitute for the topical treatment of joint pain and encourages the integration of ancient herbal medicines with contemporary pharmaceutical delivery systems.

Ayurveda is a form of traditional medicine originating in India. It uses a combination of remedies and lifestyle modification to treat disease and maintain health. Heavy metals found in Ayurvedic remedies include lead, arsenic, and mercury etc. [1] During the traditional preparation of Bhasma the metal is “purified-out” through multiple cooling and heating cycles and by addition of specific “mineral herbs.” In modern formulation of medicines, the concentration of heavy metals may be excessive because poor quality control allows for contamination, adulteration, or improper purification. In trace amount it cannot cause any harm but if we take it for long term or as chronic exposure, it can cause many problems in body even death also can be occurred by store in our body parts. As we know Indian people believes in ayurvedic more than allopathy medicine, so I collected the samples of medicines for examination of ayurvedic medicine which is taken majorly. We examine it for identify their properties and detection of heavy metals by some chemical methods and instrumentation method.[2] REFERENCES: 1. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6060866/#:~:text=The%20contamination%20of%20herbal%20formulations,lead %2C%20mercury%2C%20and%20arsenic https://bcmj.org/bccdc/heavy-metal-poisoning-ayurvedic-medicines https://www.priyamstudycentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/atomic-absorption-spectroscopy-instrumentation.png 4. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2996572/ 5.

The convergence of traditional Ayurvedic alchemy and modern nanotechnology opens new avenues for understanding and optimizing therapeutic formulations like Swarna Bhasma (incinerated gold). This review explores the indigenous process of Swarna Marana in Ayurveda and juxtaposes it with contemporary green synthesis methods for gold nanoparticles. Classical Ayurvedic texts were systematically reviewed to identify 19 plant-based media used in the traditional incineration of gold, while a thorough PubMed search revealed 45 plants currently explored in the green synthesis of gold nanoparticles. Notable overlaps and unexplored opportunities were observed, particularly in phytochemicals such as alkaloids and flavonoids that contribute to nanoparticle formation and stabilization. The review highlights that while green synthesis adopts a bottom-up approach using metal salts, Marana employs a top-down strategy starting from elemental gold, yet both converge toward producing bioactive and biocompatible nanogold. The findings support the hypothesis that classical methods are inherently aligned with green chemistry principles. A call for interdisciplinary collaboration is made to explore the therapeutic potential of classical plant media in modern nanoparticle synthesis, ensuring safer, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternatives for future biomedical applications.

Millets are the small sided cereal grains which are sustainable food source and having tremendous amount of health benefits. They play an important role in providing adequate nutrition and possess beneficial effect on lifestyle disorders. several studies have shown different effects of millets like antioxidant, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, anticancer, and antidiabetic activity as they are rich in micronutrients like calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, flavonoids, phenols and mainly they are gluten free in nature. Thus the aim of this review is to discuss the properties of millets which are helpful in nourishing the sensory organs and help to relieve them from different disorders.

Oral erythroplakia (OE) is a potentially malignant disorder of the oral mucosa with a high risk of cancerous transformation, ranking among the most likely to become malignant among oral premalignant conditions. Clinically, it appears as a red patch with clear boundaries, and histopathologically, it may show epithelial dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, or invasive carcinoma. Palatal petechiae, which are small hemorrhagic spots on the soft palate, can be an early sign of OE, especially in individuals at high risk. This case report describes the Ayurvedic treatment of OE presenting as palatal petechiae in a 34-year-old man with a history of tobacco and alcohol use. The treatment followed the principles of Raktaja Mukhapaka and Pittaja Mukhapaka, using a local application (lepa) made from Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa), Haridra (Curcuma longa), and Madhuyashti (Glycyrrhiza glabra) powders mixed with honey, along with internal use of Amritadi Guggulu, Aarogyavardhini Vati, and Khadiradi Vati. Notable clinical improvement was seen within two weeks, with complete symptom resolution and disappearance of the palatal lesion. This study emphasizes the potential effectiveness of traditional Ayurvedic treatments in managing potentially malignant oral lesions and highlights the necessity for thorough clinical trials to confirm these results.

Marma Chikitsa, an ancient Ayurvedic therapeutic modality, targets specific vital points (Marmas) on the body to restore balance and alleviate various health conditions. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of Marma Chikitsa in managing musculoskeletal disorders, focusing on conditions such as tennis elbow, lumbar spondylosis, cervical spondylosis, osteoarthritis of the knee, and frozen shoulder. Recent studies indicate that Marma therapy can significantly reduce pain, enhance joint mobility, and improve functional outcomes in patients with these disorders. These findings suggest that Marma Chikitsa offers a noninvasive, holistic approach to managing musculoskeletal disorders, potentially serving as a complementary therapy alongside conventional treatments. However, the review also highlights the need for larger-scale, randomized controlled trials to confirm these preliminary findings and establish standardized protocols for Marma therapy in musculoskeletal care.

Hyperpigmentation, characterized by the excessive deposition of melanin in the skin, presents both cosmetic and psychological concerns. Ayurvedic medicine offers a holistic approach to skin health, and Bombax ceiba (Silk Cotton Tree), known as “Shalmali” in Ayurveda, is traditionally used for treating various skin disorders. This paper explores its ethnomedicinal use, phytochemistry, and the available pharmacological data supporting its application in managing hyperpigmentation.
