Ayurvedic Management of Traumatic Anosmia- A Case Study

2025-01-07T09:02:08+00:00

Anosmia is the inability to perceive smell. Anosmia can be temporary or permanent, acquired or congenital. Any disturbances in the pathway of perception of smell, whether mechanical or along the olfactory neural pathway, can lead to anosmia. Usually, it is seen in obstructive and inflammatory conditions of the nose, head trauma, aging, and
neurodegenerative diseases. The management of anosmia depends on the underlying pathology. Based on signs and symptoms Anosmia in Ayurveda can be correlated to Gandhanasha. A male patient with an inability to perceive smell after a road traffic accident came to the OPD and was treated with Ayurveda therapeutics like Pradhamana Nasya and Viddha Karma. The patient observed considerable relief of the symptoms after the course of treatment. This case report illustrates the significance of Ayurveda in the management of anosmia.

An Observational Study on Exam Fear/Anxiety WSR to Bhaya and its Relation with the Different Prakrutis Mentioned in Ayurveda in Young Adults of Ayurvedic Medical College

2025-05-04T11:37:07+00:00

Introduction: A person’s primary Dosha, which is determined by the preponderance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, is indicated by their Prakruti. It is helpful to comprehend and describe intellect and health qualities. Functions are determined by doshas, demonstrating their function in Prakruti and its influence on working memory and cognition. Perception and memory are components of cognition. Mental equilibrium depends on emotional regulation, such as controlling fear (Bhaya).
Objectives: Understanding test anxiety in Ayurvedic students and connecting it to their physical constitution (Prakruti) are the goals of this study. Additionally, it aims to clarify how anxious male and female students are. Understanding anxiety levels in Ayurvedic students, comparing the severity of test anxiety in male and female students, and evaluating students’ Prakruti and exam anxiety susceptibility were the primary goals of the study.
Methodology: To find out how common test anxiety is, a quantitative study is conducted among first, second, and third-year professional students at an Ayurvedic college in Bengaluru. Out of the 87 students selected, 33 were male and 54 were female. The Prakruti Assessment questionnaire, created by Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science and Research in Bengaluru, was utilized in this investigation after the Hamilton-A anxiety scale.
Results: According to the results, both men and women took the exam, however women were more impacted than men. Students with Kapha Pitta Prakruti were more anxious about exams than those with Prakruti.

Pratishyaya and Rhinitis: Bridging Ayurveda with Modern Medicine

2025-05-31T14:01:18+00:00

Pratishyaya, a prevalent nasal disorder described in Ayurvedic literature, closely resembles rhinitis in modern medicine. This condition, characterised by inflammation of the nasal mucosa, manifests through symptoms such as sneezing, nasal discharge, congestion, and irritation. Primarily driven by imbalances in Vata and Kapha doshas (bio-energies), with occasional Pitta involvement, Pratishyaya is systematically classified in Ayurveda according to its aetiology (Nidana), pathophysiology (Samprapti), symptomatology (Lakshana), and treatment protocols (Chikitsa). The increasing prevalence of rhinitis, particularly among children in urban environments exposed to pollutants and allergens, underscores its impact on quality of life, growth, and development. With rising concerns about antibiotic resistance in conventional treatments, integrating Ayurveda’s holistic approach with modern medical strategies offers a promising pathway for sustainable, long-term management of recurrent rhinitis.

The Significant Role of Diet and Yoga in the Management of Bronchial Asthma: A Compres sive Review

2025-07-07T06:08:26+00:00

Background: Asthma is a major non-communicable disease characterized by lung airway inflammation and immortalized by inappropriate immune response, improved airway responsiveness, and variable airflow obstruction. It is the most common chronic disease affecting both adults and children. According to the World Health Organization, it is estimated that the disease affected 262 million people in 2019 and caused 455000 deaths globally. Over the recent decade, asthma patients have increased dramatically in numerous countries demonstrating the critical influence of environmental and dietary changes on its development.We limit our discussion in this article to the dietary and yogic approaches for managing asthma.
Scope and Approach: For this review, extensive bibliographic research was carried out, including diet and asthma”, “yoga and asthma”, the DASH diet, and obesity, from Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and Research Gate.
Key Findings and Conclusion: The inflammation and narrowing of the airway of the lungs can be improved by the implication of yogic practices and dietary modifications. Yogic practices like breathing techniques, meditation, pranayama, asanas, and relaxation techniques help to relax the airway and improve lung function. Moreover, dietary modifications such as the Mediterranean diet, Dash diet, and low glycaemic index diet also help to reduce the symptoms of bronchial asthma.
