Conservation(In Situ)21
Propogation
9
For quicker and better germination of seeds and establishment of the
seedlings,well rotted cow dung manure is recommended.Natural propogation of
the plant is poor and vegetative propogation methods have also failed in Thar
desert.Therefore,elite strains have been selected for multiplication through
tissue culture.Root segments have been found to be suitable for clonal
propogation.
16
Rapid clonal micropropagation protocol of Aegle marmelos (L.) Corr. cv.
CISH-B1 was achieved by nodal stem segment of mature bearing tree. Three
centimeter long shoots having one axillary bud excised from 10–15th nodal
region of shoots during September gave quick in vitro bud burst (5.33 days)
when cultured on MS medium supplemented with BAP, 8.84 μM + IAA 5.7
μM. The maximum number of proliferated shoots (9.0/explant) were obtained
on same medium supplemented with BAP 8.84 μM + IAA 5.7 μM. The micro
shoots were rooted (100 %) on + IAA 5.7 μM. In vitro rooted plants were
acclimatized on autoclaved coconut husk containing plant salt mixture and
under shade net house (50 % shade 70–80 % RH). The plants were established
in the field after acclimatization. The micropropagated plants were tested for its
genetic fidelity using 13 RAPD, 3 ISSR and 2 DAMD primers. Profile obtained
by all the three Single Primer Amplification Reaction (SPAR) technique from
mother tree and micropropagated plants revealed genetic integrity of
micropropagated plants with that of mother tree.
Economic Uses
The tree is tolerant to pollution and hence suitable for social forestry
programmes ; it may also be planted to minimize pollution around thermal
power stations 24.
Cultivation
2
Good sandy loam soil,sunny situation,warm humid climate are suitable for
cultivation of this plant. It is generally propogated by seed. sowing is done in
the month of June-Jully.The development of seedling is slow. They require at
least a year in the nursery to be fit for transplantation.They should be
transplanted in rainy season.It is propogated by root cutting,layers and stem
cutting treating with IBA(4000ppm)using quick dip method 2

Polysaccharides
Galactose,arabinose,uronic acid and L-rhamanose are obtained on hydrolysis.
Seed oil
Composed of palmitic,stearic,oleic,linoleic and linolenic acid.
Tannins
Tannin is present in leaves .There’s 9% tannin in the pulp of wild fruits.
Caretenoids
Caretenoids are responsible for pale colour of fruit.Marmelosin,skimmianine
and umbelliferone are the therapeutically active principle of bilva plant.
19
Minor constituents like ascorbic acid,sitosterol,crude
fibres,annins,caretenoidsare also present. Roots of the tree have also been
found to contain psoralen ,xanthotoxin scopoltin and tembamide. Compounds
like praealtin D, trans-cinnamic acid, 4-methoxy benzoic acid,betulunic acid,
and montanin have also been reported.
Biochemical Studies
Nutritional Value of Bilva(%or per 100gm)
The fruit contain about three times more total soluble solids and at least 1.5
times more energy as compared to oranges and grape fruit 9 .
Heavy Metals
The elemental composition in the leaves of four traditional medicinal plants
(Murraya koenigii, Mentha piperitae, Ocimum sanctum, and Aegle marmelos)
widely used in the treatment of diabetes-related metabolic disorders has been
studied using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The levels of Cu, Ni, Zn, K, and
Na were found to be in trace amounts, whereas Fe, Cr, and V levels were found
in marginal levels17
18
Herbal formulations are getting popularity throughout the world and
commercialized extensively for various medicinal properties. WHO has
emphasized the need for quality assurance of herbal products, including testing
of heavy metals and pesticides residues. ‘Dashmoola’, a popular herbal
formulation, with immunomodulator and febrifugal properties, consists of ten
single root drugs. In view of WHO guidelines, single herbal drugs used in
‘Dashmoola’, were collected from different places of India for testing heavy
metals and persistent pesticides residue. Although use of roots in ‘Dashmoola’
is prescribed in original ayurvedic literature but now many pharmacies use stem
in place of roots. Therefore, in the present study both roots and stems were
selected for estimation of six heavy metals namely arsenic (As), mercury (Hg),
lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni). Apart from these, the
organochlorine pesticides residue viz. different metabolites of DDT, DDE,
isomers of HCH and α-endosulfan were checked in total 40 samples of single
crude drugs. Heavy metals except Hg, were present in most of the samples. In
few samples Pb and Cd concentration were beyond the WHO permissible limits.
Although α-HCH and γ-HCH were present in almost all the samples, but other
pesticides were not detected in these samples. DDT and DDE were found only
in two samples
Microbial residue16
The essential oil of Aegle marmelos L. Correa (Rutaceae) showed strong
fungitoxicity against some storage fungi-causing contamination of foodstuffs.
The oil also showed efficacy as aflatoxin suppressor at 500 μL/L as it
completely arrested the aflatoxin B1 production by the toxigenic strains (Navjot
4NSt and Saktiman 3NSt) of Aspergillus flavus Link. Keeping in view the side
effects of synthetic fungicides, A. marmelos oil may be recommended as an
antimicrobial of plant origin to enhance the shelf life of stored food
commodities by controlling the fungal growth as well as aflatoxin secretion.
This is the 1st report on aflatoxin B1 inhibitory nature of this oil. A. marmelos
oil may be recommended as a novel plant-based antimicrobial in food
protection over synthetic preservatives, most of which are reported to incite
environmental problems because of their nonbiodegradable nature and side
effects on mammals. The LD50 of Aegle oil was found to be 23659.93 mg/kg
body weight in mice (Mus musculus L.) when administered for acute oral
toxicity showing nonmammalian toxicity of the oil. GC-MS analysis of the oil
found DL-Limonene to be major component.

Pharmaceutical uses
Traditional use
According to the Shiva Purana (7 AD) the Bilva tree is the manifest form of
Lord Shiva himself, while all the great tirthas (pilgrimage places) are said to
reside at its base. One who worships the shivalingam while sitting under the
Bilva, claims this great epic, attains the state of Shiva.
In the traditional culture of Nepal, the bael tree is part of a fertility ritual for
girls known as the Bel baha. Girls are "married" to the bael fruit and as long as
the fruit is kept safe and never cracks the girl can never become widowed, even
if her human husband dies. This was seen to be protection against the social
disdain suffered by widow.
In Bangladesh, It is used for fertility control.
.
Therapeutic use
Anticancer Activity
33
Bilva inhibited in vitro proliferation of human tumour cell lines including the
lecukinic K562,T lymphoid Jurhat,beta lymphoid Raji, Erythro leukemic HEL.
Extract of A. marmeolus is anti proliferative but it produces effect on MCF-7
nad MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line when it is in high concentration
Cardioprotective effect
37
The leaf extract has preventing effects in isoprenaline induced myocardial
infarction in rats. The activity of creatine kinase and lactate dehdogenase was
increased in serum.Use of Bilva as cardiac depressant and palpitation has also
been reported.
Antimicrobial/Antifungal Activity
It has been found active against various species such as Staphylococcus
aureus,S. epidemidis,Salmonella typhimurium,E.coli,Bacillus subtilis 16 The
essential oil isolated from the leaves of Bilva exhibits variableefficiency against
different fungal isolates and causes concentration as well as time dependent
inhibition of spore germination of all fungi tested ,including most resistant
fungus,Fusarium udum 16
Radioprotective effect
Treatment with extract of bilva reduces the severity of symptoms of radiation
induced sickness and increases survival in mice. The radio protective action be
due to free radical scavenging and arrest of lipid peroxidation accompanied by
an elevation in glutathione concentration in liver,kidney,stomach and intestine 20
20
The hydroalcoholic extract of Aegle marmelos (AME) protected cultured
HPBLs against the radiation-induced micronuclei at a concentration of 5 µg/ml.
It was also reported to scavenge ·OH, O2·–, DPPH, ABTS·+ and NO (nitric
oxide) radicals in vitro in a concentration dependent manner . The
radioprotective efficacy of 15 or 250 mg/kg AME was further confirmed in
animal studies where its intraperitoneal as well as oral administration has been
found to protect mice against the radiation-induced sickness, gastrointestinal
and bone marrow deaths and mortality giving a DRF of 1.2. It also protected
mice against the radiation-induced lipid peroxidation and elevated GSH
concentration in the liver, kidney, stomach and intestine at 31 days post-
irradiation. Oral administration also protected mice against the gamma
radiation-induced decline in erythrocytes, leukocytes, lymphocytes and
clonogenicity of hemopoietic progenitor cells assessed by exogenous spleen
colony forming assay. Pretreatment of mice with AME elevated the villus
height and the crypt number accompanied by a decline in goblet and dead cell
number . Not only leaf but also the hydroalcoholic extract of Aegle marmelos
fruit administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 20 mg/kg once daily,
consecutively for five days found to protect mice against the radiation-induced
sickness, gastrointestinal as well as bone marrow deaths with a DRF.
Antipyretic and Analgesic activity
34
Bilva exhibits antipyretic,anti inflammatory and analgesic activities,as it has
shown a significant inhibition of the carrageenan induced paw oedema,cotton
pellet granuloma and paw itching in rats.It is also used as febrifuge in night and
intermittent fever.
Peptic ulcer
35
The fruit taken in the form of beverage has also great healing properties on
account of its mucilage,which forms a coating on the stomach mucosa and thus
helps in the healing of ulcers.
Respiratory Infection
36
In south India the juice of leaves are mixed with pepper to bring relief from
wheezing cough and respiratory spasm. Its regular use builds up resistance
against cold and cough.
Other properties
The fruit pulp powder was effective on intestinal parasites particularly on
ankylostoma 2 . It is anti convulsive 2
It is also used as antihelmenitic 9

In Bangladesh, It is used for fertility control
The unripe fruit is most effective remedy for chronic diarrhea and dysentery
without fever. The powdered drug is recommended in sub acute or chronic
dysentery. After the use of the fruit powder in these condition, the blood
gradually disappear and the stools resume a more feculent and solid form. It is
also a valuable remedy for chronic dysenteric condition characterized by
alternate diarrhea and constipation. Its also been reported in the cases of
amoebic dysentery. It is used in the treatment of IBS (Irritable Bowel
Syndrome)
As mentioned in Dhanvantri nigantu,(Chp 1,shlok104,105) in 10th century
that the unripe fruit is sangrahi ,snighda,agnidipak,katu,tikt, kshaya,usna
veerya,tikshna and vata kapha nashak.
Bilva leaf extract has been used in Ayurveda as a medicine for diabetes. It
enhances the ability to utilize the external glucose load in the body by
stimulation of glucose uptake similar to insulin. Bael extract significantly
lowers blood urea and cholesterol in experimental diabetic animals.
Anticancer Activity
Bilva inhibited in vitro proliferation of human tumour cell lines including the
lecukinic K562,T lymphoid Jurhat,beta lymphoid Raji, Erythro leukemic HEL.

In today’s world of fast food , there is change and irregularity in diet and diet timings. Fast
growing world has given desk jobs and sedentary life style. In addition to change in diet and
lifestyle, one is always under tremendous stress. body and mind are interdependent to each
other. All these causes disturbances to the digestive system, which results into many disease,
among which digestion and absorption diseases are most common. Irritable BowelSyndrome
(IBS) is a psychosomatic disease condition where motility of intestine is disturbed with
altered bowel habit, lower abdominal pain with distention relieved by passes of flatus. There
is no detectable organic pathology in this disease. The symptoms are markedly influenced by
psychological factors with stressful life style. A careful review of the clinical picture of
various GIT diseases, described in Ayurveda reveals that some of the disorders definitely
have some clinical symptoms observed in the patients of IBS.
In Ayurveda , functionally weak Agni/Digestive fire causes improper digestion of ingested
food ,which leads to Aam dosha . Aam is the root cause of most of the diseases. It is well
established that the circular and longitudinal muscles of the small bowel and sigmoid are
highly susceptible to motor abnormalities. As a result, many factors can influence their
contraction rates and lead to the excessive activity of their function which is at the basis of
irritable bowel syndrome. Ayurveda evaluation searches for the various root causes of
excessive GI motility through a determination of the imbalances in the functioning modes of
the body.
Signs and symptoms
Cramping pain in lower abdomen
Changes in bowel habits
Diarrhea or constipation, or both alternately
Relief of pain after bowel movements
Feeling of incomplete emptying after bowel movements
Mucus in stool
Abnormal movements of the colon, whether too fast or too slow, are seen in some, but not
all, people who have IBS.
Treatment
Ayurveda has emphasized the use of Buttermilk ( takra) for the treatmentof IBS. The patient
has to be kept on the diet of buttermilk, which is the treatment and nutrition in
IBS.Buttermilk is digestive, astringent, and light to digest and helps in improving the
consistency of the stool. Buttermilk is given along with asafetida, cumin, and rock-salt
powder to control the bowel movements. It contains a good amount of lactobacillus bacteria,
which helps restore the normal flora of the intestines. . Trikatu, a compound containing black
pepper, long pepper, and ginger, is specific for low enzyme and high enterotoxin. Pungent,
bitter, and astringent tasting foods are best. Musta ( Cyperus rotundus) improves intestinal
absorption and stops diarrhea.
There are several time tested classical ayurvedic formulations mentioned by our ancient
Acharays eg Brhat gangadhara curna ,Dadimastaka curna ,Jatiphaladi curna , Hingvastaka
churna , Bilvadi lehyam ,Chitrakadi vati ,Shankha vati,Dashmuladi ghrita, Panchamrut
parpati ,Kutaj parpati,Rasa-parpati .These medicines should be taken under the guidance of
an ayurvedic physician .
IBS is a psychosomatic disease .Stress management can help prevent or ease IBS symptoms.
Use relaxation techniques: deep breathing, visualization, yoga , meditation can help the
patient . Bhramari pranayaam will help to alleviate stress and anxiety .Pavan multa asana
will help to reduce gaseous trouble and bloating. Kapal bhatti can be helpful for those
suffering with constipation.
Diet Regime for IBS
Preferred food items are Eat old rice, ginger, jawar, coriander leaves, lentil, green grams
soup, black pepper, nutmeg, skimmed milk, buttermilk, hot water. Foods rich in
monounsaturated fats, such as olives and olive or canola oil, are more healthy as well as
easily digestible. Herbs like ginger, fennel, and cumin that stimulate enzyme secretions will
improve digestion, absorption, and clear Aam(undigested material) from the digestive tract.
When treating IBS, a light diet is advised.
Avoid indigestible foods such as bread; cheese; red meat; and cold, hard, and raw.Because it
is hard to digest, saturated fat can be colon irritants. Foods rich in saturated or trans fats
include stick butter and margarine, shortening, fried foods, beef fat, full-fat dairy products
and commercially prepared cookies, crackers, coffee cakes and snack foods.Limit foods that
contain ingredients that can stimulate the intestines and cause diarrhea, such as caffeine
(tea,coffee), Alcohol , Foods high in sugar ,Artificial sweeteners (sorbitol).Some vegetables
(cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts) and legumes (beans) may worsen bloati
To sum up, Our health depends a lot on the food we eat. So to remain healthy we must think
before we eat. Balanced diet , exercise ,yoga and meditation all are key to good health.
Ayurveda is not only focused to cure the patient but also emphasis on the proper life style to
keep our selves healthy.
Drug Standardisation
Use Herb as a whole

INTRODUCTION
Widely regarded as the oldest form of healthcare in the world, Ayurveda is a time tested
medical system that originated in India thousands of years ago.. The aim of the system is to
prevent illness, heal the sick and preserve life. This can be summed up as follows: To protect
health and prolong life ("Swasthyas swasthya rakshanam") ,To eliminate diseases and
disfunctions of the body ("Aturasya vikar prashamanamcha ).
Ayurveda has several single and polyherbal formulations .Today there has been a great
demand for plant derived herbal products. World has accepted the concept of drug
standardization for scientific validation of these herbs. The standard extract(active
principle) of a herb help us to understand its phytochemistry, drug interactions,
bioequivalence, pharmacovigilance study.
OBJECT
Inspite of using the active principle of drug, use of crude drug is more scientific as per
ayurvedic principles. It is believed that the standardised extracts are more effective than
crude drug.In my view, If we are working on Ayurvedic principles, we must consider the
importance of the views of our ancient Acharyas.
DISCUSSION
The concept of using whole herb by our ancient acharyas was based on the principle of
Ras panchak. The action of a drug is based on Ras, ,Virya , Guna, Vipaak and Prabaav. In
Ayurveda it is not the dead line that the action of herb lies only in its active principle.
According to the principle of Ayurveda, one herb works on the basis of its ras, another on the
basis of its veerya, another on the basis of its vipaak.
A drug has major and minor constituents. The concept of using the major constituents as
active principle does not solve the purpose. It is possible that those other minor constituents
may also be essential in a polyherbal formulations . How one herb interact with other herbs in
a polyherbal formulations is yet to be carried out.
In Ayurveda , each and every patient is a individual entity and the treatment also differs
from patient to patient. Rogi Nidaan has its different parameters. It’s not as simple as in
modern medicines. Prakriti parikshan, Saar, Sahanan, vyayam shakti, agni all these
parameters are studied by an ayurvedist.An ayurvedist makes a clear picture of tha individual
by understanding a patient as awhole and also decides what kind of mode of preparation to
be used for the individual. Panch Kashay Kalpana
(SWARAS,CHURNA,KALK,HIM,PHANT,) is based on this principle. But if we are
using only the extract of the herb , it may not serve the purpose.
CONCLUSION
I believe that it is best to use the whole herb. There are several (major and minor) active
ingredients in the whole herb that have benefits researchers still do not fully understand. A
herbal extract is an isolated component of only one of these compounds present in the whole
herb.Use of crude drug in Ayurveda has its scientific view. Due to which Ayurveda has
negligible side effects. Inspite of using the active principle of drug, use of crude drug is more
scientific as per ayurvedic principles. I believe that follow principles of ayurveda as
mentioned in our Classical text.
I invite your views on the topic.
In today’s world of fast food , there is change and irregularity in diet and diet timings. Fast
growing world has given desk jobs and sedentary life style. In addition to change in diet and
lifestyle, one is always under tremendous stress. body and mind are interdependent to each
other. All these causes disturbances to the digestive system, which results into many disease,
among which digestion and absorption diseases are most common. Irritable BowelSyndrome
(IBS) is a psychosomatic disease condition where motility of intestine is disturbed with
altered bowel habit, lower abdominal pain with distention relieved by passes of flatus. There
is no detectable organic pathology in this disease. The symptoms are markedly influenced by
psychological factors with stressful life style. A careful review of the clinical picture of
various GIT diseases, described in Ayurveda reveals that some of the disorders definitely

Garlic has been used as both dietary agent and medicine in many cultures for thousands of
years. Garlic is mentioned in the Bible and the Talmud. Hippocrates, Galen, Pliny the Elder,
and Dioscorides all mention the use of garlic for many conditions, including parasites,
respiratory problems, poor digestion. Its use in China was first mentioned in AD 510.
Different culture used different varieties of garlic depending upon their ecological
productivity. In India Allium species of garlic is very commonly used, while another species
of garlic named Allium tuberosum is used in South-east Asia, China and North-east part of
India. Both the species are important constituent of customary diet in Indian and Chinese
food.
Garlic helps to prevent lipid implantation on the arterial wall. Allicin, has antimicrobial
effects against many viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. Garlic lowers blood pressure by
relaxing vein and artery walls. This action helps keep platelets from clumping together and
improves blood flow, thereby reducing the risk of stroke. Garlic also decreases the levels of
cholesterol and triglycerides, substances that increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Garlic is also a rich source of. highly bioavailable selenium, which is thought to account, in
part, for garlic’s antioxidant and cancer preventive effects This popular herb may improve
immunity by stimulating some of the body's natural immune cells. Studies suggest that garlic
may help prevent breast, bladder, skin, and stomach cancers. A study suggests that those
who eat garlic may lower their risk of colon cancer. Garlic appears particularly effective in
inhibiting compounds formed by nitrates, which are preservatives used to cure meat that are
thought to turn into cancer-causing compounds within the intestines.
Garlic has been found to enhance thiamin absorption, and therefore reduces the likelihood
for developing the thiamin deficiency beriberi
Lasun Ksheer Pak (Garlic Milk Extract) is one of the time tested Ayurvedic formulation
to reduce serum cholesterol.As garlic if given in high dose or taken empty stomach is highly
irritant to gastric mucosa.Its pungent smell sometimes becomes intolerant to patient. Garlic
bulbs are crushed fresh and boiled in milk with equal amount of water.The mixture is boiled
till all the water gets evaporated leaving the milk. It should be taken under the guidance of An
Ayurvedic physician.
Garlic is a useful remedy for Earache. Boil 2-3 cloves in mustard oil and let the temperature
be down to tolerable. Put 2-4 drops of this oil in your ears.
Garlic is antiseptic in action.Take one part of galic extract and three parts of distilled water
,wash any wound and ulcer with it. It will remove the pus and fastens the process of healing.
Patient suffering from whooping cough should take fresh crushed garlic cloves and make a
paste mixed with honey.
Add Garlic in your daily food preparations, it improves appetite and digestive system.
The Russians uses garlic in the treatment of Rheumatisn by using garlic extract.
.
To sum up ,Our Indian kitchens are highly scientific in their way of cooking. Use of Garlic
,Ginger ,onion and many other spices are basically those medicinal herbs which keep our
digestive system healthy.Our Ancient Acharayas were highly intellectuals who added these
herbs as our daily diet supplements. Keeping these in view,we must follow a right diet plan in
our lives to kep our selves healthy.

In Today’s world of beauty and glamour ,it is a natural tendency that every one of us is
highly conscious about our skin. Skin is the most visible part of the body that reflects
personality of a person. Skin disorders like urticaria creates physical as well as mental stress
to an individual. Excessive itching sometimes becomes intolerable . Urticaria in Ayurveda is
known as sheetpitta. Vat and kapha are two “doshas”, which are primarily disturbed in this
disease. In the combination with pitta they create redness, swelling and itching on the skin.
Acute urticaria is associated with more diffuse swelling of lips , face and throat and is spread
all over the body.
Urticaria is a vascular reaction of the skin characterized by a sudden general eruption of pale
wheal or or papules,which are associated with severe itching.This condition may be caused
by contact with an external irritant such as the nettle, physical agents,food,insect
bites,pollens,drugs or neurogenic factors.

In past 40 years,there’s dramatic rise in female related illnesses which were
rarely seen before in history.Today we see the age of menarche has dropped
to as 10 years of age. In fast growing world,over work load,pesticides rich
food,hormone based fruits and vegetables,stress,over ambition,avoiding
pregnancy all are the major causes of these new diseases in modern
woman.Premenstrual syndrome,irregular mense,ovarian cyst,uterine fibroids
are commonly seen now a days. A survey has confirmed that 30%of young
modern woman is suffering from PMS(Pre menstrual syndrome),25% are
suffering from uterine fibroids and ovarian cyst.
Widely regarded as the oldest form of healthcare in the world, Ayurveda is a
time tested medical system that originated in India thousands of years ago .In
Ayurveda ovarian cyst containing fluid can be equated with kaphaja
granthi.The kaphaja granthi is slightly painful,usually skin coloured,increases
gradually and on rupture white thick pus is discharged. Patient usually feel
heaviness and dull pain.Sushruta has mentioned the concept of granthi. Acc. to
classical text,vitiated vataets doshas vitiating mansa,rakta and medas mixed
with kapha produces granthi.Vagbhatta also accepted the view of sushruta and
mentioned that doshas are dominated by kapha.
In normal process, Women have two ovaries that store and release eggs. Each
ovary is about the size of a walnut, and one ovary is located on each side of the
uterus. One ovary produces one egg each month, and this process starts a
woman's monthly menstrual cycle. The egg is enclosed in a sac called a follicle.
An egg grows inside the ovary until estrogen (a hormone), signals the uterus to
prepare itself for the egg. In turn, the lining of the uterus begins to thicken and
prepare for implantation of a fertilized egg resulting in pregnancy. This cycle
occurs each month and usually ends when the egg is not fertilized. All contents
of the uterus are then expelled if the egg is not fertilized. This is called a
menstrual period. .
Ovarian Cysts are products of failed or disordered ovulation. A functional
ovarian cyst is formed when the follicle does NOT release its egg, and the
follicle continues to grow forming a cyst. An ovarian cyst can also be formed
even if the follicle releases the egg, the hole where the egg is released closes
up, the corpus luteum is NOT formed, and the cyst continues to grow. It is now
believed that xenoestrogens may contribute to ovarian cysts.
The two primary hormones secreted by ovaries i.e estrogen and
progesterone.The property of one affect the other and together they are
maintained in optimal balance in the body.Lack of hormone or exceesive
release of any of the hormone leads to medical prolem in woman.
Diagnosis
On the basis of sign and symptoms a physician can advise for USG,which
further confirms the disease
In an ultrasound image, ovarian cysts resemble bubbles. The cyst contains only
fluid and is surrounded by a very thin wall. This kind of cyst is also called a
functional cyst, or simple cyst. If a follicle fails to rupture and release the egg,
the fluid remains and can form a cyst in the ovary. This usually affects one of
the ovaries.
Symptoms of Ovarian cyst
Dull aching, or severe, sudden, and sharp pain or discomfort in the lower
abdomen (one or both sides), pelvis, vagina, lower back, or thighs; pain may be
constant or intermittent—this is the most common symptom
Fullness, heaviness, pressure, swelling, or bloating in the abdomen
Breast tenderness
Pain during or shortly after beginning or end of menstrual period.
Irregular periods, or abnormal uterine bleeding or spotting
Change in frequency or ease of urination (such as inability to fully empty the
bladder), or difficulty with bowel movements due to pressure on adjacent
pelvic anatomy
Weight gain
Treatment
I used Triphla and trikatu as both helps in sroto shodhan and removes
srotoavrodha. kanchnaar guggul has lakhneeya guna and help to reduce the
size of growing cyst , Aloevera not only balances the hormonal irregularities
but also improves uterine activity , Chandraprabha vati also have lakhneeya
effect and is also prescribed for the treatment of general menstrual disorders
in classical text.
For the treatment of kaphaj granhti,I used Trifla2gm,trikatu
500mg,Chandraprabha vati 250mg bd, kanchnaar guggul 500mg bd, aloevera
20ml bd was given for three months.
After treating many patients of ovarian cyst and fibroid,Ibelieve that ayurveda
have the solution of ovarian cystand fibroid.
Congenial Diet
Ayurveda emphasise on Ruksha ,katu ,deepaneya ahaar,gugullu,shilajit,Old
ghrith,old rice.
Avoid
Excessive fat rich diet,caffeine,tea or coffee,alchohal.
Yoga
Kapalbhati,surya namaskaar,pranayaam ,meditation are beneficial in ovarian
cyst.
NIAPR,Patiala
Avoid----------
Vegetables- Tomato, Lady finger, Capsicum, palak, beans, brinjal, cucumber.
These vegetables are having high oxalate contents which results in calcium
oxalate stone formation.
Fruit- Blackberry, strawberries ,kiwi, gooseberry(amla).

What is Dysmenorrhoea
Ayurveda describes the condition of Udavartini yonivyapad that resembles the
all type of dysmenorrhea.
Dysmenorrhea is the occurrance of painful cramps during menstruation. Its a
dull or throbbing pain that usually centers in the lower mid-abdomen, radiating
toward the lower back or thighs.
Symptoms of Dysmenorrhoea
Spasmodic menstrual pain
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea or constipation
Headache
Dizziness
Disorientation
Hypersensitivity to sound, light, smell and touch,
Fainting and fatigue.
What causes Dysmenorrhoea(Udavartini)?
According to Ayurveda, due to movement of natural urges in reverse
direction,the aggravated apana vayu moving inreverse direction fills the
uterus.The uterus seized with pain, initially throws or pushes the raja(menstrual
blood) upwards, then discharges it with spasmodic pain.
Ayurveda also describes vataj yonivyapad that oligomenorrhoea associated with
dysmenorrhoea caused by ras dhatu kshay that create general weekness.
The likelihood that a woman will have cramps increases if she:
Management of Dysmenorrhoea
Our Ancient Acharayas has mentioned several classical ayurvedic formulations
for the cure of dysmenorrhoea. Ayurvedic herbal,classical time tested
medicines cures by establishing the equilibrium of
Tridosha(Vata,pitta,kapha)and sapt dhatus (body tissues).
There are several herbs named
Ulatkambal beej
Gajar beej
kumari
Sonth
Krishan til
Jatmansi
Shatavari
Dasmool
Haritaki
Asoka
Hing
There are several classical preparations
Kasis
Tankan
gulkand
In Ayurveda , each and every patient is an individual entity and the treatment
also differs from patient to patient. Rogi Nidaan has its different parameters. It’s
not as simple as in modern medicines. Prakriti parikshan, Saar,
Sahanan(Compactness), Vyayam shakti(Exercise), Agni (Digestion)all these
parameters are studied by an ayurvedist. An ayurvedist makes a clear picture of
the individual by understanding a patient as a whole and also decides what kind
of mode of preparation to be used for the patient. Panch
KashayKalpana(SWARAS(Juice),CHURNA(powder),KALK,HIM,PHANT,)
is based on this principle.
So I emphasis that patient must take the ayurvedic medicine under the guidance
of an Ayurvedic physician.
Conclusion
Dysmenorrhoea can be successfully manageable through Ayurveda.

In the world of stress and strain, improper diet, lack of exercise and yoga
menorrhagia i.e irregular and excessive loss of blood during mensuration has
become a challenging problem among all age groups including young girls,
working class woman as well as housewives.
Ayurveda describes Asrigdhar yonivyapad which is a condition of abnormal
uterine bleeding includes ( Polymenorrhea, Metrorrhagia,metrorrhagia) due to
congestion of pelvis/uterus produced by various causes. We have successfully
treated several patients with Ayurvedic medicines who were suffering from
this problem and were advised for surgeries by allopathic doctors.
Menorrhagia is the most common type of abnormal uterine bleeding
characterized by heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding. In some cases,
bleeding may be so severe and relentless that daily activities become
interrupted. Other types of abnormal uterine bleeding (also called dysfunctional
uterine bleeding) include:
Polymenorrhea Too frequent menstruation
Any irregular, acyclic non menstrual bleeding from the
Metrorrhagia
uterus; bleeding between menstrual periods
Postmenopausal Any bleeding that occurs more than one year after the last
bleeding normal menstrual period at menopause
Conclusion
Menorrhagia(Asrigdhar) can be successfully manageable through Ayurveda.

passage of small amounts of hard, dry bowel movements, usually fewer than
three times a week. People who are constipated may find it difficult and painful
to have a bowel movement.Constipation may lead to other serious ailments like
anal fissure,piles etc.
In Ayurveda,this is a disease in which undigested food(Aam) is accumulated in
Aamashay and stool is retained in pakvashay(colon) due to vitiation of Aapaan
vayu. Constipation is described as Aanah or Vibandh .We have successfully
treated several patients with Ayurvedic medicines who were suffering from
this problem.
Conclusion
Constipation (Vibandh/Aanah) can be successfully manageable through
Ayurveda.

In Ayurveda , each and every patient is an individual entity and the treatment
also differs from patient to patient. Rogi Nidaan has its different parameters. It’s
not as simple as in modern medicines. Prakriti parikshan, Saar,
Sahanan(Compactness), Vyayam shakti(Exercise), Agni (Digestion)all these
parameters are studied by an ayurvedist. An ayurvedist makes a clear picture of
the individual by understanding a patient as a whole and also decides what kind
of mode of preparation to be used for the patient. Panch
KashayKalpana(SWARAS(Juice),CHURNA(powder),KALK,HIM,PHANT,)
is based on this principle.
So I emphasis that patient must take the ayurvedic medicine under the guidance
of an Ayurvedic physician.
Conclusion
leucorrhoea(Shvet Pradar) can be successfully manageable through Ayurveda.

condition of destruction of artava,which resembles secondary amenorrhoea.. We
have successfully treated several patients with Ayurvedic medicines who were

channels carrying artava(artava veh srotas),thus artava is destroyed. Though
artava is not finished completely,yet it is not discharged monthly.

Diet for Amenorrhoea(Nasht Artava) in Ayurveda
Garlic (lasun) is very beneficial in nasht artava.
Decoction of black tilas mixed with jaggery induces mensuration .

Osteoarthritis is a form of arthritis that features the breakdown and eventual loss
of the cartilage of one or more joints. Cartilage is a protein substance that serves
as a "cushion" between the bones of the joints.
Osteoarthritis is known as Sandhivata in Ayurveda. In Ayurveda ,there are
herbal medicines which cure the patient without any side effects. We have
successfully treated several patients with Ayurvedic medicines who were
suffering from this problem.
In allopathy,analgesics(pain killers) are the mainstay of treatment.
What causes osteoarthritis (Sandhivata)in Ayurveda?
As per Ayurveda, word Sandhivata, Sandhi means the joint and Vata stands for
the Vata Dosha. When activities of the Vata increase inside the Sandhis, joints,
it is known as the Sandhivata.
Vata is dry in nature so it absorbs the fluidity, from any part of the body and it
is also destructive or catabolic in nature, due to these two reasons Vata cause
destruction of the cartiages and reduction in the Synovial fluid inside the joint
capsule. Individuals with the Vata Prakruti are more prone for the
Osteoarthritis, as their main Dosha is Vata.
It is a chronic degenerative disorder also due to natural aging of the joint. With
aging, the water content of the cartilage increases, and the protein makeup of
cartilage degenerates. Eventually, cartilage begins to degenerate by flaking or
forming tiny crevasses.
In advanced osteoarthritis, there is a total loss of the cartilage cushion between
the bones of the joints. cushion between the bones of the joints. Repetitive use
of the worn joints over the years can irritate and inflame the cartilage, causing
joint pain and swelling. Loss of the cartilage cushion causes friction between
the bones, leading to pain and limitation of joint mobility. Inflammation of the
cartilage can also stimulate new bone outgrowths (spurs, also referred to as
osteophytes) to form around the joints.
Sign and Symptoms of osteoarthritis (Sandhivata)?
Pain, causing loss of ability and often stiffness. "Pain" is generally described as
a sharp ache, or a burning sensation in the associate muscles and tendons.
crackling noise (called "crepitus") when the affected joint is moved or touched,
and patients may experience muscle spasm and contractions in the tendons.
Pain may extend to hands, feet, spine, and the large weight bearing joints, such
as the hips and knees.
In smaller joints, such as at the fingers, hard bony enlargements, called
Heberden's nodes , though they are not necessarily painful, they do limit the
movement of the fingers significantly.
It is the most common cause of joint effusion, sometimes called water on the
knee in lay terms, an accumulation of excess fluid in or around the knee joint.
Treatment of Osteoarthritis (Sandhivata) in Ayurveda
Cereals:- wheat
Fruits&vegetables:-parvala,bitter gourd,grapes
Others:- garlic, dry ginger,fresh ginger,hingu,black pepper,
Apathya(Don’ts) for Sandhivata

Vatarsha are very painful and cause an itching and burning sensation while
raktasha are internal and often bleed. In both cases the natural peristaltic
movement is slowed down. Though it may be hereditary, but factors such as
sitting for long periods on uneven or hard seats, straining during defecation, and
suppressing or early release of gas, urine or faeces also cause it.
Conclusion
Piles/Haemorrhoids (Arsh) can be successfully manageable through Ayurveda.
