It develops exclusively in humans. There is no proven, efficient treatment for keloid. This case study will lead to the development of new and improved keloid treatment methods.

In this study, 60 individuals of either sex, within the age group of 30 – 70 years, having hyperlipidaemia along with more than 10% of CVD risk were identified in lipid screening camps with the help of JBS 3 Heart Risk android application tool. A combination of three well known herbs in capsule form containing 500mg extract of Guggulu (Commiphora mukul), Pushkarmool (Inula racemosa) and Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna) in equal proportion was administered in a dose of 1 capsule twice daily after food with warm water for 3 months to treat hyperlipidaemia. Only 55 participants completed the trial. Different parameters of lipid profile, CVD risk score and biological heart age were compared before and after treatment using appropriate statistical method. The intervention resulted in reduction of total cholesterol by 17.49%, LDL by 21.04%, VLDL by 24.55% and Triglycerides by 24.55% whereas HDL increased by 10.48 %. As a secondary outcome, the mean CVD risk score was reduced by 6.91% and the mean biological heart age was also reduced by 6.64 years. The trial drug was well tolerated and free from adverse effects. Hence the trial drug can offer a safe and effective solution to individuals with hyperlipidaemia and moderate CVD risk.

Cervical Myelopathy is a condition causing compression of the spinal cord at the cervical level of the spinal cord. It is mostly due to degenerative cervical spondylosis and is hence called Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy.  The spinal cord may directly experience compressive and ischemic dysfunction as a result of age-related spondylotic alterations. A 63-year-old male with complaints of gradually progressive weakness in the arms and hands along with numbness, tingling sensation, neck stiffness and pain around the neck region for the last 10 years came to the OPD of our hospital. The management offered by contemporary medicine is not satisfactory. Cervical myelopathy and Greevastambha can be co-related in this case, based on signs and symptoms. This case report demonstrates how the clinical and radiological symptoms of cervical spondylotic myelopathy were alleviated by an Ayurvedic intervention. To confirm these results and incorporate Ayurveda into conventional medicine for spinal cord injuries, more investigation and controlled trials are necessary.

Gridhrasi is a common musculoskeletal disorder with radiating pain, stiffness, numbness and tingling sensation in one or both legs. Due to similar clinical presentation, Gridhrasi can be equated with Sciatica, in which there is pain in one or both legs caused by compression of the sciatic nerve or its component nerve roots (L5-S1). It generally affects the people in the productive years of their life and makes walking and standing painful, embarrassing and also limits their mobility. Conservative treatment options for Sciatica only provide momentary relief from pain with a very high recurrence rate. In the present report we discuss the case of a 70 years old female patient who presented with the complaint of severe low backache and pain radiation towards both legs up to the feet with associated numbness in the right leg. She was treated with Shampakadi Niruha Basti along with Patra Pinda Swedan for the time period of 16 days. There was significant improvement in the signs and symptoms of Gridhrasi i.e., SLR Test, pain, numbness, etc. Not only did the combination of these two treatment modalities alleviate the patient's symptoms but it also checked the recurrence of pain by relaxing and strengthening the musculature of the back.
