Postmenopausal Osteoporosis is an Age Related Physiological Change and not A Disease
Authors: Hadapad Basavaraj S 
Published: April 2021

For the past few decades it is taught at medical schools that hormonal and calcium deficiencies are the main culprit in causation of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis.Â Because of this myth, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been used increasingly to prevent and cure PMO by the medical graduates at global level. The very definition of â€œnormalityâ€ is flawed seriously. The statistical mean plus/minus two standard deviations automatically brings in five per cent of normal people into the fold of patients-the false positives. This goes up to 25% when disease statistics are used to measure healthy people. If we extend this definition further, almost all will come under the umbrella of patients! Age related osteoporosis falls under this label.Â

Published: April 2021

Introduction: Ayurveda, uses various herbs that are converted into different dosage forms mostly in presence of Jala (water) as solvent. In addition to water; seers also advocated certain other solvents for extraction of active principles from the herbs. Works on using traditional solvents other than water in extracting principles from different herbs are not reported till date. Aims: Considering lack of such evidences, an attempt has been made to prepare Nirgundi Ghana (solid extract of Vitex negundo Linn.) in three different solvents i.e. Jala (water), Kanji (sour gruel) and Gomutra (cowâ€™s urine) and analyze respective physico-chemical profiles. Materials and Methods:Â Ghana was prepared by classical methods described in Ayurveda. The samples were analyzed through relevant physico-chemical parameters. Results: In pharmaceutical study; yield was found more in presence of Kanji and Gomutra. Physico-chemical profiles showed few differences, but in most of the cases, they were insignificant. Conclusion: Based on preliminary physico-chemical profiles, it cannot be ascertained the usefulness of the finished products in therapeutics. Relevant experimental studies to identify and characterize the active phyto-constituents and evaluate therapeutic utilities of the principles extracted into the respective solvents are essential in further studies.Â

Masi (Black ash) prepared from this combination is of great use. No pharmacognostical profiles are available on Triphala Masi till date. So the same is attempted in current study. Aim: To evaluate pharmacognostical profiles of Triphala Masi prepared at three different levels of temperature. Materials and Methods: Tripahla Masi was prepared at three different levels of temperature and samples were coded as TM 1, TM 2 and TM 3 and further subjected for pharmacognostical profiles. Results: Loosened walls of epicarp cells were observed in TM 1 sample prepared at 3000C; showed that these cells sustained up to this temp. At 3500C, epicarp cells in the sample TM 2 were seen disturbed. But when heat was increased up to 4000C, only black mass was observed in TM 3 sample. Conclusion: Based on pharmacognostical observations, 4000C temperature is required for preparation of Triphala Masi.Â Â

Role of Vamana Karma (Emesis) in Jeerna Vatika Pratishyaya (Chronic Rhinosinusitis) - A Case Study
Authors: Bhatt Kunjal H , Raghavani Hemang U , Satani Kishor G , Dave Haridra C 
Published: April 2021

Pratishyaya (rhinosinusitis) is very difficult to treat as it happens with Sadhya Janak Nidana (sudden causative factor) also. Many times rapid and sudden onset is seen in Pratishyaya after exposure to even a weak causative factor.Â If this vicious cycle of Nidana (causative factor) and Roga (disease) continues and if treatment is neglected the Roga becomes Jeerna(chronic). At this stage it becomes necessary to cure the disease with Shodhana (purification) therapy rather Shaman (curative) therapy. In this type of chronic cases we can get good results with only Vamana Karma (emesis therapy). In modern medicine conservative management is the first choice and if the disease is not managed by it, they prefer surgery to maintain the drainage and ventilation of the sinuses. Vamana Karma with or without Nasya (nasal instillation) can give complete improvement in such cases. The burden and risks of surgery can be avoided and the quality of the patientâ€™s life can be improved with Ayurvedic treatment.
