Despite numerous global sensible corrective attempts to provide nutrition, undernutrition (Kaarshya) remains one of the most pressing issues. The bulk of the population in underdeveloped nations is undernourished. It is one of the main causes of death and morbidity in both children and adults. One of the eight components of primary health care in the worldwide campaign for health for all is the promotion of appropriate diet. A person who is malnourished is prone to a slew of problems. It is a condition in which the body's fat and muscles are depleted. This is why it is critical to treat it to restore the body's normalcy. With its unique approach to lifestyle management and medication therapy, Ayurveda, with its holistic perspective, can aid with this disease. Swasthavritta (Community Medicine) has a part in Kaarshya management. Ashwagandhadi avaleha acts as an excellent nutritional treatment to alleviate the symptoms of Kaarshya in youngsters. As a result, Ayurvedic therapy for Kaarshya was arranged. After one month of treatment, the patient gained 1.5 kg of weight, and the next month, i.e., the follow-up period, the patient exhibited substantial improvement in weight growth. Other anthropometric measures improved as a result of the therapy. The assessment was carried out over two months.
Aim: To study the effect of Ashwagandhadi avaleha on BMI and weight in karshya.
Materials and Methods: This is a single case study on underweight female. Ashwagandhadi avaleha was given for two months. Anthropometric parameters such as weight, body mass index (BMI), hip circumference (HC) and mid-arm circumference (MAC) and subjective parameters were assessed before and after 2 months.
Result: Significantly increased in weight i.e. 2Kg was observed after two months.
Conclusion: Regular intake of Ashwagandhadi avaleha significantly increases weight and body mass index in Karshya.
Among the Ashtanga Ayurveda, Kaumarbhritya focuses on child care in particular. Graharogais the most neglected portion due to excess mythological explanation, difficulty in clinical understanding, diagnosis, severity, complication, and treatment is entirely different from the routine disorder of children. Graharogas are those entities that attack and seize the body then affect the neonates and children very quickly with high mortality. Different acharyas describe Graha with their types, symptoms and treatment. Acharya Sushruta and Acharya Vagabhatta describe Skanda graha- commander-in-chief of the army of Devatas. The symptoms of the affected child resemble very much with Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral palsy (CP) is the leading cause of childhood disability affecting function and development. The motor disorders of cerebral palsy are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition communication, and behavior. Therefore, this paper aims to understand Balagraha with the modern aspect as well as its clinical application in day-to-day practice.
Ayurveda is an ancient medical practise that focuses on the prevention of illness and the treatment of conditions that are related to the human body. Ayurveda provides information on a wide variety of herbal remedies that can be used to cure a variety of disorders. In such a scenario, standardisation is necessary for ensuring uniformity from one batch of drug production to the next and for carrying out routine drug manufacturing on a large scale. In this age of shifting lifestyles and increased public interest, the process of modifying older dosage forms and the development of new dosage forms is an ever-evolving process that makes a significant contribution to the expansion and development of scientific knowledge. Granules are produced from a refined form of Ghana, which is a solid preparation of herbal extract, and Khanda Kalpana, which are solid preparations that are comparable to granules. Because it contains medications that are medhya, Smrutisudha granules are developed for their beneficial benefits, such as boosting children's memories. In the current work, standardisation, physio-chemical properties, qualitative analysis, and chromatography (HPTLC) of Smrutisudha granules have been produced. Prior to its application in therapeutic settings, the standardisation of Smrutisudha granules will be aided by this research.
