Global vison of health care should aim at the point of merging with all possible so called alternative and complementary systems along with their traditional approaches in to the existing conventional wisdom. Mind health is among the most significant area for proper integration through which the prevention of anxiety depressive related conditions triggering to many health dysfunctions including non- communicable diseases and or life style disorders. Statistics globally reveal the significant amount of one or the other kind of mental health issues relatively to one in five suffering in so called a healthy society.

Bridging the gaps with the cutting-edge guidelines of
inclusiveness through proper assessment based on scriptural grades of mind negativity describes from 09 mental to verbal five and also bodily deciphering languages in priority.

Such interventions from our ancient systems should be discussed along with the modes of integration as required from time to time in response to prevention, alleviation, restoration and for the quality-of-life reinstation.

Professor Dr.Sureshswarnapuri M.D

In Ayurveda, the power of the mind is considered crucial for overall health and well-being. The ancient Indian system of medicine emphasizes the connection between the mind, body, and spirit, recognizing that mental health plays a significant role in physical health.

 
Key Concepts:
 
Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas:
   These are the three gunas (qualities) that influence mental states.
     Sattva: Purity, harmony, and balance; promotes clarity and wisdom.
     Rajas: Activity, passion, and restlessness; can lead to agitation and stress.
     Tamas: Inertia, darkness, and confusion; may result in lethargy and ignorance.
   Balancing these gunas is essential for mental health.
 
Mind-Body Connection:
   Ayurveda teaches that the mind influences bodily functions. Stress and negative thoughts can lead to imbalances in doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), affecting physical health.
   Practices like meditation, yoga, and pranayama (breath control) are recommended to enhance mental clarity and emotional stability.
 
Meditation and Mindfulness:
   Regular meditation helps cultivate a calm mind, reduce anxiety, and improve concentration. It is seen as a tool for self-awareness and personal growth.
 
Diet and Lifestyle:
   A balanced diet (Sattvic foods) and a harmonious lifestyle contribute to a peaceful mind. Foods that are fresh, light, and nourishing support mental clarity.
 
Emotional Healing:
   Ayurveda also addresses emotional well-being through therapies like aromatherapy, herbal remedies, and counseling. Understanding and processing emotions are vital for mental health.
 
Spiritual Practices:
   Engaging in spiritual practices can enhance mental strength and resilience. This can include rituals, chanting, and connecting with nature.

He will highlight his thoughts on the current essentials for the wider future integration and acceptance of Ayurveda in the mainstream Western healthcare
framework.

Nandu koregaonkar

Classical Ayurveda is based on Tridoshas (three cardinal humours – Kapha, Vata and Pitta). Maintaining the balance of the Tridoshas in the body results in health, while vitiation of one or more of the Doshas results in imbalance called Vyadhi (disease).

Tridoshas are derived from five universal elements called Panchamahabhutas (Panch = five, Maha = great, Bhuta = principles). The principles are Prithvi – Matter, Aap – Water, Tej – Fire, Vayu – Air and Akash – Space.


The balance of Panchamahabhutas in the body results in health, while their imbalance leads to disease. It is a deeper and sutler form of targeted treatment. Since it eliminates the root cause of the disease at a more elemental level, rather than its symptoms, its effectiveness has been proven with miraculous results.


This specialisation in Ayurveda was re-learnt and further researched by “Brihattrayiratna* Vaidyaraj Atmaram Waman Datarshastri”. Along with his huge lineage of student Vaidyas^, he established the “Vaidyaraj Datar Panchabhautik Chikitsa & Samshodhan Kendra” (an education and research centre) at Sangli, a small town in the State of Maharashtra India.
This form of Ayurvedic treatment has helped the poor and working class, who can rarely afford an expensive Panchakarma Treatment.


Datarshastri also developed a unique set of simple herbal formulations making them more effective and potent, resulting in reduction of dosages and costs.
My talk is based on this Panchabhautik Vichar (understanding) and Hridroga Chikitsa (treatment)

Ayurvedic Unique Medication on Male Infertility- A Case Study

Md. Babul Akter1

*, Md. Masum Billah2

Abstract
Infertility is one of the major reproductive health problems affecting not only individuals but also mental and social well-being of the whole family. Primary infertility refers to inability to
conceive within two years of regular unprotected sexual exposure and secondary infertility refers to the inability to conceive following a previous pregnancy. For men, poor quality and quantity of spermatozoa in the semen is one of the predominant causes of male infertility. Ayurveda explains infertility as Vandhyatwa. Infertility is co-related to klaibya/ED/impotency and factors associated with Bandhyatwa are abnormalities of Structural and functional impairment of Sperm (Charak-Chi 30).

In this case study we enrolled five men in different ages who was desiring to conceive for more than 3 years of married life having unprotected sexual intercourse, and seeking Ayurvedic treatment, diet, regimen and life style. Routine investigations of these patients and their partners were normal except male partner’s semen analysis revealed abnormal result.

We adopted Ayurvedic principles such as psychological counseling and post sexual position, and
medications; Rasayana (Rejuvinative), Pathya-Apathya (Diet & regimen) which are most
important for healthy semen and conception. All five female partners appeared conceived within one year
Key words: Infertility, Ayurveda, Regimen, Diet, Lifestyle

Abstract:

Obesity in Ayurveda

Obesity, known as “Sthoulya” or “Madhumeha” in Ayurveda, is a complex disorder characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat due to imbalance of the body’s humors or doshas, primarily Kapha. It is considered a multifactorial condition influenced by dietary habits, lifestyle, genetic predisposition, and metabolic factors. Ayurveda attributes obesity to impaired Agni (digestive fire), improper dietary intake, sedentary lifestyle, and mental stress, leading to Dhatu Sthapana (tissue formation) abnormalities and excess fat deposition.
 
The Ayurvedic approach to managing obesity emphasizes a holistic strategy involving balanced diet (Pathya), Panchakarma detoxification techniques, proper lifestyle modifications, herbal therapies (such as Triphala, Guggulu, and Punarnava), and exercise. The focus is on restoring the balance of doshas, stimulating Agni, enhancing metabolism, and preventing further fat accumulation. Emphasizing personalized treatment plans, Ayurveda aims not only at weight reduction but also at improving overall health, digestion, and metabolic functions.

Abstract 
Menopause in Ayurveda.
 
Menopause, known as “Rajonivritti” in Ayurveda, marks the cessation of menstrual cycles and signifies the end of a woman’s reproductive phase. It is considered a natural physiological process influenced by hormonal changes, primarily the decline of Shukra Dhatu (reproductive tissue) and Jara (aging). Ayurveda attributes menopause to the imbalance of the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—particularly emphasizing Vata dominance, which leads to the symptoms associated with menopause such as hot flashes, dryness, depression, and joint pain.
 
From an Ayurvedic perspective, menopause involves the depletion of Ojas (vital essence), resulting in decreased vitality and increased susceptibility to disorders. Management focuses on balancing the doshas through personalized dietary modifications, herbal formulations (Rasayana therapy), lifestyle adjustments, and stress reduction techniques. Emphasis is placed on nourishing Shukra Dhatu, maintaining Ojas, and restoring harmony within the body’s energies.

Managment of Anxiety with Ayurveda and Pranayama

Kuldeep pandey

Abstract-

Care of terminally ill patients suffering from cancer like disease has been of great importance and a global challenge even with the many advances in the field of medical science. Patients suffering from the disease categorised under difficult to treat they not only suffer with the problems of disease itself but also, may develop many other complications induced by the ill effects of treatment modalities viz. Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and many other psychophysical disorders develop in such patients. The concept of pain and palliative is to care and support these patients during conventional treatment regimen
which is playing a better role since last few decades. Patients suffering from the disease
which detoriates not only multiple functions of body systems but also affects the quality of life of the patients.
Terminally ill patients specially requiring palliative care suffering with many common disorders either because of the progression of disease itself or induced by the treatment modalities given to the patients. Physical symptoms other than pain often contribute to sufferings near to the end of life. In addition to pain, the most common symptoms in the terminal stages of cancer patients are- fatigue, anorexia, cachexia, nausea, vomiting, constipation, delirium, dyspnoea loss of weight, insomnia, dysphasia, diarrhea, edema, ascites, plural effusion, hemorrhage, weakness, drowsiness, paralysis, cough, hiccup and bedsore etc. Management of even a single symptomatic disorder in such patients plays an important role to improve quality of life.

Ayurveda is considered as the sciences of life. The approach of Ayurveda towards diseases and health is based on its unique principal of Tridoshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). Like modern medicine, Ayurveda has its own role in the prevention and management of disease like cancer requiring palliative care. During ancient time cancer was not an important disease entity, due to its less prevalence but presently, the situation has thoroughly changed and
become the major cause of fatality, second only to cardiac ailments. It is no more considered
as an unimportant illness as was in the past.

According to Ayurveda the three basic approaches of treatment can play a better role in palliative care viz. Daivavyapashraya (Spritual Therapy), Yuktivavyapashraya
(Objectively Planned Therapy) and Satwavajaya (Psychological Therapy). In objectively planned therapy various formulations of herbal / mineral / herbo mineral preparations either alone or in combinations are used according to nature and severity of disease and condition of the patients. Relief from coexisting disorders in a terminally ill patient is of a great importance.

Under the heading consideration is to be given on use of – specific medicine, potent pain killer, symptoms relieving medicine, improvement of metabolic activities, good dietary regimen, use of Rasayanas and code of good conduct are mentioned in Ayurveda as a holistic approach of treatment in Cancer Palliative care .The matter in detailed shall be discussed and presented during my talk.

Prof. Dr. SHRINIWAS GUJJARWAR

Abstract: 

Ayurveda is science of Life and the concept of Marma Sharir and its clinical importance is mentioned in Ayurveda Samhitas. Marma Sharir refers to the vital points or sensitive areas of the body where vital energy (prana) is believed to be concentrated. These points are considered significant in both preventive and therapeutic aspects ofAyurvedic practice.

There are total 107 Marma points mentioned in the Sushruta Samhita and charak sanhita present in body. Marma places are the point of junction of the Mansa, Sira, Asthi, Dhamni and Sandhi where the Prana situated. Acharyas have classified the Marma places on the basis of location, number, composition, effects of injury etc. Marmas are vital parts of the body. Marma is locating place of prana and energy. Any injuries directly affecting the Marma sthana (sites of Marmas) results to death immediately or later or serious complications. Diseases which are aries from marma sthan are difficult to cure. Acharya Charaka mention that diseases of Trimarma is difficult to treat for example disease of Shira Hridya and Basti and Shira. Therefore the knowledge of Marma is very essential for the surgeon to protect the patient from any harm during the surgery.
Acharya Sushruta mention that “knowledge of Marmas is half of the knowledge of surgery” because knowledge on various
classification, their nature, extent of area, consequence & prognosis of Marma plays an important
role for the doctor particularly during procedure over the Marma area of the body. So surgeon or Vaidya should be known about Marma during diagnosis & treatment the disease.

Marma Sharir continues to be an essential component of Ayurvedic practice. Ayurvedic physicians and practitioners utilize the knowledge of Marma points in
diagnostics, therapeutic interventions, and preventive
healthcare. Techniques such as Marma therapy and Marma Massage focus on the stimulation and manipulation of Marma points for various health
conditions.

Marma points are believed to be
energy centers that regulate the flow of prana (vital
energy) throughout the body. Keeping these points in
balance promotes the harmonious flow of energy, thereby supporting overall health and preventing the accumulation of energetic imbalances that can lead to disease.

Therapeutic applications of Marma Sharir aim to promote a holistic sense of well-being by addressing not only physical ailments but also emotional, mental, and spiritual imbalances.
The diagnostic and therapeutic applications of Marma Sharir provide a comprehensive approach to healthcare
in Ayurveda.

As understanding the energetic principles and vital
energy pathways in Ayurveda is essential for maintaining
optimal health and balance.Because Marma points are
site of prana It recognizes that physical health is intricately linked to the flow and balance of prana and emphasizes practices and therapies that support the
harmonious movement of vital energy. By working with
these energetic principles, Ayurveda aims to restore and
maintain overall well-being at the physical, mental, and
spiritual levels.

AYURVEDIC APPROACH IN INTERNAL MEDICINE AND PANCHAGAVYA CHIKITSA- RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE

Prof.O.P.Singh, Dept of Kayachikitsa, FoAy, IMS, BHU.

Panchagavya Chikitsa, an Ayurvedic approach, has shown potential in managing metabolic disorders. This traditional practice utilizes five products derived from cows: milk, ghee, curd, urine, and dung. Research suggests that Panchagavya Chikitsa may help alleviate symptoms of metabolic disorders, such as diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia. Panchagavya Chikitsa have the potential in reducing blood glucose levels and improving insulin sensitivity. Panchagavya Chikitsa may aid in weight management by regulating lipid metabolism and enhancing fat burning. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Panchagavya Chikitsa may help mitigate cardiovascular risk factors associated with metabolic disorders. Panchagavya Chikitsa influence the gut microbiome, leading to improved metabolic function and reduced inflammation. The bioactive compounds present in Panchagavya Chikitsa help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, contributing to improved metabolic health. Its holistic approach, addressing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, may provide a valuable addition to conventional treatments. Further research is warranted to confirm these findings and explore the mechanisms underlying Panchagavya Chikitsa’s therapeutic effects.” Keywords – Panchagavya Chikitsa, antioxidant, cardiovascular, Metabolic disorders.

Method:
Female Sprague-Dawley rats chronically administered for 35 days at a dose of 40 ml/kg to note its (i) effect on the growth, followed by post-sacrifice (ii) determination of the absolute weight of the organ, (iii) relative organ weight ratio and (iv) water content of different tissue.
Results and conclusion:
All throughout the experimental period the SRB treated animals were always maintaining decrease in body weight, but all throughout the experimental period no statistically significant decrease was noted. On Day 35, though not statistically significant but a noticeable decrease (9.41% loss (p=0.102)) in the body weight study was noted. There is a statistically very highly significant (p=0.001) decrease in the absolute weight of the female rat heart. [33.01 % decrease]. There is a statistically very highly significant (p=0.001) decrease in the relative percent weight of the female rat heart. [26.69 % decrease]. There is a statistically significant (p=0.011) decrease in the organ water content of the female rat heart. [7.54 % decrease]. There is a [15.13 %] decrease in the organ water content of the female rat lungs, the decrease though not significant yet it was noticeable (p=0.060). Noticeable increase in the absolute weight and in the relative percent weight of the liver, on the contrary there was a decrease in the organ water content of the liver.There is a statistically significant (p=0.014) decrease in the absolute weight of the female rat kidney.

Stress Management in Ayurveda

Abstract
Stress is the leading problem worldwide in current era. According to Statista (a German online platform for data gathering and visualization), till August 2024, 31% of adults surveyed worldwide thought stress was the biggest health problem in their country. A research published in 2023 in BMC Medical Education says that approximately 284 million people worldwide do have an anxiety disorder.
Nowadays, everyone wants to live life with a basket of desires and ambitions. This increases the workloads, targeted approach, embarrassments etc. All these, eventually result in causing stress, inferiority complex & depression. These may cause stress related abnormalities like hypertension, irritable bowel syndrome and behavioral disorders like conduct disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) etc. Human body is supposed to be a psycho-somatic set up and it functions throughout life as per this functional mechanism. A stressed human needs to be taken special care as stress can be harmful for a person’s physical as well as mental health. A stressed person may cause harm to himself as
well as to his family member etc. He or she can have marital issues, irritative or abusive
behavior etc. He/she may have anxieties, interpersonal, social or behavioral events causing
psychic stress.
Ayurveda is a science of life which is source of a healthy and prosperous life. In Ayurveda, the concepts of Dincharya (daily life style), Ritucharya (Seasonal lifestyle), Sadachara (Sadvritta or ideal deeds) are very effective in the management of stress and its related disorders. Ayurved has emphasized upon the Satvavjaya Chikitsa (psychotherapy) for such type of patients. Many herbal formulations are also prescribed in Ayurved for stress related
disorders. Shirodhara procedure is also very much helpful in this condition. Nowadays, Marma
therapy is also supposed to be a source of stress relieving medium by virtue of stimulating specific vital points in the human body to trigger ‘Pranic energy’. It is a method used to treat without any medicines.
This way, on the above lines stress management through Ayurveda will be discussed in
detail during the Conference.

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF DIABETIC WOUND (MEDHUMEHAJANYA VRAN) : A CASE STUDY

—DR SHRUTI KOTKAR

ABSTRACT

Diabetes stands as one of the most prevalent diseases globally, and diabetic patients are at risk of developing foot ulcers as a vascular complication. These ulcers stem from diabetic neuropathy  leading to ischemia , resulting in inflammation and ulceration. If left untreated, these ulcers can become infected, spreading to the underlying tissues thus causing gangrene which leads to amputation in most cases.  In Ayurveda, such ulcers are termed as Madhumehajanya Vrana.

 A 65-year-old male patient presented with a non-healing wound on the dorsal aspect of his right foot extending between 3rd and 4th toe till its base from 5 months, associated with foul-smelling pus discharge from 1 month. He had a known history of diabetes mellitus for 4 years. The ulcer measured 5cm x 3cm x 1cm. Local cleaning by Triphala Kwatha has shown Vrana Shodhan properties (wound cleansing helps remove debris) which augmented the healing process while Jatyadi Taila application enhanced Vrana Ropan (tissue regeneration and restoring the skin’s natural healing abilities). Internal Ayurveda medication like Arogyavardhini vati , Rasamanikya, gandhak rasayan , herbal medicines yog  with pathya-apathya (prescribed diet and regimen) pacified vitiated doshas and enhanced tissue rejuvenation and repair by their pharmacological properties. The anti-inflammatory properties promote fresh blood supply and fosters wound healing by forming healthy granulation tissue. Complete wound healing was achieved in 4 months. Thus amputation was avoided.
