CONCEPT OF SARATA AN AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Authors: Dr.Shamama Firdaus
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT :
Ayurveda have mentioned that Dosha, Dhatu and Mala are the three essential components of Sharir. These three components are very important as per their functions inside the body. The factors which do the function of Dharana of Sharir, Mana, & Prana are called as Dhatu. The basic constructive framework of body is formed by Dhatu. So, the Saptadhatus are the most important factors inside the body. Dhatus have same set of functions in every individual but quality & richness of these functions may vary from person to person, which is decided by excellent state of these Dhatus which is nothing but the Dhatusarta. Sara is the Bala (strength). Sara is fine and excellent part of their Dhatus. The supreme quality of Dhatus with its superb functional aspect is called the Sara of that Dhatus. Little waning or fasting will not hamper the function of Dhatus immediately if Dhatus is Sarwan. So, in Ayurveda, Sara stands for Vishudhatar Awastha of Dhatus.
         Dhatusarata is the novel concept described exclusively by Ayurveda. As Balwan or Sarwan Dhatus resist the vitiated Doshas, similarly they also resist the external factors from the nature which disturbs the equilibrium of Dosha, Dhatus        and Mala. So, for maintaining healthy status of Sharira, the Dhatus must be in their Vishudhatar Awastha which refered as Dhatusarata in Ayurveda.

Published: April 2021

The treatment and healing of Wounds are some of the oldest subjects discussed in the medical Literature. The same events, in the same order, occur in every healing process regardless of the tissue type or the inciting injury. Knowledge of Wound healing allows Surgeons to manipulate wounds to achieve optimal results in a short period. In Ayurveda non healing ulcer can be correlated with Dushta Vrana. Application of Kshar karma for shodhana and ropana of Dushta Vrana is one among the Sixty upakramas of Vrana. Pratisaarniya Kshar is indicated for Dushta Vrana in Ksharpakavidhi Adhayaya (Sutrasthana chapter 11) of Sushruta Samhita. Kshar has chhedana (excision), Bhedana (incision), and Lekhana (scrapping) properties along with Tridoshhara (equilibrium of Vata, Pitta, Kapha) properties, thus considered as a good curative measure for local treatment of Dushta vrana.  A case report of an open traumatic ulcer successfully treated by local application of Apamarga Kshar Pichu has been presented here.

A review article on Jalaukavacharan in the management of Dushta Vrana
Authors: Ramesh Pawar
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
Method of removing blood from the body using jalauka (leech) is considered as the most easy and convenient method. Blood vitiated by vata, pitta and kapha should be removed from the body, by using sringa, jalauka and alabu respectively. Jalauka is ideal to remove blood vititated by pitta. The medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis, is one of the few examples of the use of invertebrates in the treatment of human disease. Leech therapy also known as Hirudotherapy (mentioned as Jalaukavacharan in Ayurveda) played an important role because it was used for medicinal "blood-letting" and "purification".
“The destruction / break / rupture / discontinuity of body tissue / part of body, is called Vrana.” The healing of wound or an ulcer is the natural response of the body. Naturally wound will heal in one week if no doshic invasion or infection takes place. The vrana more than a week called dushta vrana which fail to heal for a long period and result into chronic wound (dheergha kalanubandhi dushta vrana), such vrana needs shodhana (Abhyantara) and ropana (Bahya) chikitsa. Virechana and Jatyadi ghruta application as well as jalaukavacharan (leech therapy) are the best line of management for vata-pitta pradushtaja dushta vrana.
Randomized placebo-controlled trial of Guggulu Ghanavati in Hyperlipidemia
Authors: Mali Pravin Ashok
Published: April 2021

Hyperlipidemia is term used to denote raised serum levels of cholesterol or triglycerides or both. The lipid hypothesis proposed by Rudolph Virchow in 1856 suggested that blood lipid accumulation in arterial walls caused atherosclerosis. There is no precise term for hyperlipidemia in the Ayurvedic classics. Yet various scholars have tried use distinct nomenclature for hyperlipidemia, e.g., Rasagata Sneha Vriddhi, Rasa Raktagata Sneha Vriddhi, Dhamani Pratichayah, Medovriddhi, Medoroga or Medodosha, Ama Medo Dhatu, etc. A detailed study of hyperlipidemia reveals its similarity to Asthayi Medo Dhatu Vriddhi with regard to the pathophysiology. Also, this excessively increased Asthayi Medo Dhatu is Ama in nature, due to which it is retained in the body for a longer time, resulting in further complications. From the Ayurvedic point of view hyperlipidemia is a result of Santarpana. Acharya Charaka has stated that regular administration of Guggulu as a formulation can cure all the Santarpanjanya Vyadhis or diseases due to overnutrition. [7] Considering the lack of definite Ayurveda comprehension of hyperlipdemia, as well as the role of hyperlipidemia in the causation life-threatening diseases, we carried out this study to evaluate the efficacy of Guggulu Ghanavati in the management of hyperlipidemia.
Management of Hypertension by Ayurvedic Principles
Authors: Mali Pravin Ashok
Published: April 2021

Different theories have been proposed to explain hypertension from an Ayurvedic perspective, but there is no consensus amongst the experts. A better understanding of the applied physiology and etio-pathogenesis of hypertension in the light of Ayurvedic principles is being attempted to fill this gap. A detailed review of available Ayurvedic literature was carried out to understand the physiology of blood pressure and etio-pathogenesis of hypertension from the perspective of Ayurveda. Many parallels were drawn from the concepts such as Shad Kriyakala (six stages of Dosha imbalance) and Avarana of Doshas (occlusion in the normal functioning of the Doshas) to the modern pathogenesis of hypertension to gain a deeper understanding of it. Hypertension without specific symptoms in its mild and moderate stages cannot be considered as a disease in Ayurveda. It appears to be an early stage of pathogenesis and a risk factor for development of diseases affecting the heart, brain, kidneys and eyes etc. Improper food habits and modern sedentary lifestyle with or without genetic predisposition provokes and vitiates all the Tridoshas to trigger the pathogenesis of hypertension. It is proposed that hypertension is to be understood as the Prasara-Avastha which means spread of vitiated Doshas from their specific sites, specifically of Vyana Vata, Prana Vata, Sadhaka Pitta and Avalambaka Kapha along with Rakta in their disturbed states. The Avarana (occlusion of normal functioning) of Vata Dosha by Pitta and Kapha can be seen in the Rasa-Rakta Dhathus, which in turn hampers the functioning of the respective Srotas (micro-channels) of circulation.

Acne vulgaris is a chronic skin disease of the pilo-sebaceous unit and develops due to blockages in the skin's hair follicles. It is characterized by blackheads or whiteheads, pimples, oily skin, and possible scarring It primarily affects areas of the skin with a relatively high number of oil glands, including the face, upper part of the chest, and back. These blockages are thought to occur as a result of the following four abnormal processes: a higher than normal amount of oily sebum production (influenced by androgens), excessive deposition of keratin protein leading to comedo formation, colonization of the follicle by Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) bacteria, and the local release of pro-inflammatory chemicals in the skin. The resulting appearance can lead to anxiety, reduced self-esteem and, in extreme cases, depression or suicidal thoughts.
In  Ayurveda, it is termed as Mukhadushika. In Ayurveda, Mukhadushika is described under the heading of Kshudra rogas. These diseases are called as Kshudra because of their lesser severity.

Vitiated Vata Dosha, Kapha Dosha and Rakta Dosha are considered to be the main Samprapti Ghatak of Mukhadushika. In Ayurveda treatment of diseases is mainly of two types of Chikitsa are described i.e. Shodhana Chikitsa and Shamana Chikitsa. Similarly in Mukhadushika also Shodhana and Shamana Chikitsa is done.
