Authors: Bijarniya Sunita Kumari , Kapoor Ritu , Adlakha Manoj
Published: December 2021

Tobacco consumption is a major social health problem in India as well as throughout the world, because it harms both health and wealth of an addict. Tobacco is a Sthavara Patra Visha received from the plant Nicotiana tobacum/ Nicotiana rusticum leaves by curing them. Tobacco contains an alkaloid nicotine in abundant amount, which is sufficient to make addict like alcohol, cocaine and morphine. There are so many different forms of smoking and smokeless tobacco in India, like cigarette, bidi, gutka, jarda, pan masala etc. Long timed use of Tobacco like adductive products by oral route, acts as a slow poison (Dushi Visha) induces chronic toxicity to the gastrointestinal tract like oral diseases, gingivitis and periodontitis, Leukoplakia (precancerous stage), and may lead to cancer also in advance stage. This chronic toxicity affects cardiovascular system and results as increasing coronary blood flow, heart rate and blood pressure which may trigger the chances of heart attack rate in addict person. Before we can do any effort for reducing toxicity produced by tobacco products its mandatory to knowing the basic knowledge of tobacco products, their chemical composition, their mechanism of action with comparative toxicity and specific tobacco product related to a specific mouth part cancer. Because we can’t stop a person to start tobacco use but we can circulate the knowledge of tobacco products in adolescent groups so that when the beginner chose a tobacco product, he will be aware about the toxicity and affecting organ because of its use. So that, the toxicity can be minimised.

Karnanada considered as illness caused due to vitiated VataDosha in which a person hears different types of sound in absence of any relevant external stimulus. Now days, it can be considered as tinnitus, a disease with mul- tifactorial etiology. It may be concerned with unhealthy condition of only ear, ear with head disease, only head disease or may be associated with general body condition. In tinnitus patient got ringing, buzzing or other type of sound in one or both ears which might be constant and inconstant often associated with hearing loss. In Ayurveda it is described as preliminary symptoms of hearing loss, which without treatment or with incomplete or improper treatment will progress towards hearing loss. In present scenario of electronic devices which produces electro- magnetic waves (which are harmful to ear including whole body organs), number of such type of cases are in- creasing frequently worldwide. Causes of tinnitus according to modern medicine is unclear or having multiple etiologies therefore treatment guideline of tinnitus in modern practice is not definite hence prognosis of disease also remains uncertain.

Published: December 2021

All parents have a dream of be getting the healthy, intellectual and beautiful progeny this is also evident from the reference of the word like “Suputrakameeya” in classics. Ayurveda describes simple methods to produce a healthy offspring and the planning of which starts from the selection of partners. Many factors mentioned in Ayurveda towards the study of development of foetus including fertilization and sex determination, Ayurveda considered two basic factors in the development of human beings i.e., Shukra and Shonita it represents the sperm and ovum in modern medical science and which are responsible for the fertilization. Nearly all Acharyas like Charaka and Sushruta have recognised the three different types of sexes viz. Puman (male), Stri (female) and Napunsaka (hermaphrodite). In these contexts, Charaka clearly stated that dominance of Shonita during conception resulting procreation of female child and dominance of Shukra (sperm) leads to male child. The sex of an individual is determined by the X and Y chromosome. But sex determination mainly depends on the Y chromosome. It has been seen the individuals with a Y chromosome develop male characteristics and individuals without a Y chromosome develop female characteristics.

Dengue is the most rapidly spreading mosquito borne viral disease in the world.lifestyle changes and deficient water management including improper water storage practices in urban, peri urban
The survey findings indicated that 49% of country's population had been previously infected with DENV. Due to rapid urbanization, and rural areas, leading to proliferation of mosquito breeding sites. Dengue fever has a seasonal pattern, the cases peak after monsoon not uniformly disrtibuted throughout the year.
Incubation period of 2-7 days. Fever, malaise, retro-orbital pain, headache, arthralgia, petechiae, itching are common features. Thrombocytopenia is common. Macular rash may occur on first day. Illness may last a week with additional symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, anorexia, marked cutaneous hypersensitivity. Maculopapular rash begins on the trunk spreading to extremities and face. Leucocytes and platelets numbers decreases. Serum aminotransferase level may rise. IgM ELISA or paired serology test should be done at the phase of recovery. Antigen detection ELISA or RT-PCR during acute phase should be done. Due to Jwara Nidan, Pachakagni produces Doshakar Dravya which imbalances Tridosha. Ushma is necessary for Jwalan (burning) of this Doshkar Dravyas. Doshkar Dravya causes Kshobh to Vata Dosha and particularly Saman Vayu, causes more Agni Prajwalan and increases Ushma. Excessive increase in Ushma leads to Ojasthana Hriday Dushti, Tarpak Kapha in Shira Dushti, Shirashta Indriyadushti, Pranasthana

ROLE OF HEMANT RITU (EARLY WINTER) FOR MAINTEINANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF BALA (STRENGTH)
Authors: Kachhawaha Shilpa , Sharma Rajesh Kumar , Sharma Dinesh Chandra
Published: December 2021

Seasons (Ritus) are the inherent global earth clock and the rhythm of the world. As per Ayurveda year is divided into six seasons, in which three season Shishira, Vasanta and Greeshma are known as Aadanakala . Other three seasons Varsha, Sharad and Hemanta are said to be Visargakala. In Visarga kala, as the Sun is located in southwards position, its heat reduces or slows down due to the effect of time and its position with respect to the Earth, wind, cloud and rain. The power of the Moon is predominant. Rainwater decreases the heating effect of nature. All of these lead to the predominance of non- dryunctuous, amla (sour), lavana (salty), and madhura (sweet) rasa respectively and step by step rise of body strength in human beings during these three seasons. Out of all the Ritus, Hemanta Ritu is a unique Ritu in terms of having uttam bala. Falling in Dakshinayana, moon is very powerful than sun, Madhur rasa is predominant in this Ritu, so the strength (Bala) of person enhances during this period. This article focuses to disclose thorough review of literature of Hemant ritucharya and its implication towards maintenance and enhancement of Uttam Bala. In Ayurveda oja, veerya, prana, kapha etc terms are considered as synonyms of Bala. Besides prakruti(genetic), sara(physiological) and aahar(diet), kala (season) is one of the prime factors to govern the Bala of the person. Bala stands for the strength of the body in terms of physical, mental, immunological and resistance to the body, the word Bala is being used in different contexts to denote various aspects accordingly.

REVIEW ON MEDOVAHASROTAS AND ITS MOOLSTHANA WITH REFERENCE TO OBESITY INDUCED HYPERTENSION
Authors: Mathew Jinu K , Mhaisekar Jaishree H
Published: December 2021

Excess weight gain, especially when associated with increased visceral adiposity, is a major cause of hypertension accounting 65-75% of total cases of hypertension. Increased renal tubular sodium reabsorption by the impairment in renal pressure natriuresis plays an important role in initiating obesity induced hypertension. The present study conceptually tries to substantiate the relation between moolasthana described for medovahasrotas with reference to the pathology of obesity induced hypertension. The moola explained for medovahasrotas are Kati, Vrikka, Vapavahana and Mamsa (Kidney, Suprarenal gland, Lumbosacral region, Superficial fat) which are the general regions of deposition of visceral fat or meda. The increased meda will hamper the renal pressure natriuresis in mainly three ways:
1)Physical compression of the kidneys by fat in and around kidney.
2)Increased activation of RAAS.
3)Increased SNS activity.
Thus, medovaha srotodushti further enhances medodhatudushti (Obesity or Sthoulyata) itself, which in turn destroys the srotomoola. Hence, evidence of inherent relation among medovaha srotas and its respective srotomoola is established.
