<p><strong>Crime </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">is an intentional commission of an act usually deemed socially harmful or </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">dangerous and specifically defined, prohibited, and </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">punishable </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">under criminal law. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is unquestionably one of the prevailing and worrying aspect in most of the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">societies. Criminal behaviour is often a difficult topic to discuss, as there are different </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">variables that must be taken into account in order to truly define and obtain a </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">thorough understanding of the concept. It is often a matter of debate whether the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">criminals are born bad or made bad. The born traits alone do not inevitably lead to </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">crime and the circumstances do not make criminals of everyone; but together they </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">create a population responsible for a large fraction of crimes. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The intentions and attitude of indulging into criminal behaviour is dominated by the personality, attitude, physiology, learning, motivation, thinking and other cognitive factors. In, Ayurveda the criminality can be explained under the concept of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prajnaparadha</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. In </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prajnaparadha </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">we do things without discriminating as to whether an action is favourable or harmful. Ayurveda have directly and indirectly discussed the concepts of criminal behaviour in various contexts like Anna Raksha Adhyaya, Dashavidha Papa karma etc. Hints about the evolutionary aspects of deviant behaviors are discussed in the context where </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Charaka </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">discusses 3 types of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Satvas – Deva, Manusha </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pashu</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The born behavioral patterns are further explained in the context where </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Saatvikadi prakrithi </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">is explained. </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chandogyopanishad </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bhagavath Geetha </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">also provides references regarding the role of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ahara </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">and the behavioral patterns. </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ayurveda </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">also explains the psychopathological causation of crime under the context of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unmada</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ayurveda </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">offers a number of practical and powerfully effective tools for balancing common disturbances of the mental and emotional realm. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This paper makes a humble effort to discuss the different aspects of criminal </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">behavior, the primary, secondary and tertiary preventive strategies and rehabilitation </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">along with the parallel concepts in </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ayurveda</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>

<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Grahani </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">is related to </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Agni </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">which helps in digestion of food. The pathogenies of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Grahani Rog </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">works around </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Agni Dosha </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">which is associated with the improper food habits along with stressful life style; people initially neglect these problems and don’t take any medication. This is a functional disorder characterized by alteration in the bowel habits, discomfort, bloating, abdominal pain without any organic cause. These symptoms resemble with the symptoms of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Grahani Rog </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">described in </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ayurvedic </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">texts. This article is about clinical evaluation of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bilvadi yoga </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">in the management of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Grahani Rog. </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Patients can be diagnosed with </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Grahani Rog </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">on the basis of: Patients with complaints of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Muhurbadh </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">or </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Drava mala pravriti</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aruchi, Udara shool, Vishtamba </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">etc. were selected for study. Most of ingredients of this yoga have qualities like to </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Agni Dirgani Ama, Pachana </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">anti spasmodic and anti diarrhoeal and anti inflammatory properties. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cervical Cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide. Over 500,000 women worldwide die of cervical cancer annually. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV – mainly high risk type) is the main cause of cervical carcinogenesis. Worldwide, the prevalence of HPV in cervical tumors is 99.7%</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">1</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Approximately every 47 minutes a woman is diagnosed with cervical cancer. Among the 500,000 new cases each year, nearly 75% occur in developing countries</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">1</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Cervical cytological testing has reduced the incidence of cervical cancer by 70%</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">1</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. As most of the cervical cancers are preventable so it become very important to diagnose them at an early treatable stage using appropriate diagnostic tools and finding new Ayurvedic measures to prevent and cure the disease so as to decrease the morbidity and mortality. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pneumonia (from the Greek pneuma, "breath") is an infection and inflammation of </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">the lower respiratory tract (bronchioles and alveoli) that can be fatal. It is caused by </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">inhaled bacteria and viruses. High temperature, shortness of breath, fast breathing, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">severe chest pain, and a productive cough with thick phlegm are all common </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">symptoms. Community-acquired pneumonia is a type of pneumonia that occurs </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">outside of a hospital setting. Nosocomial or hospital acquired pneumonia is </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">pneumonia that occurs 48 hours or more after admission to the hospital. In this case </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">study, we look at how pneumonia affects the respiratory system and how it's treated. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The purpose of this study is to warn professionals to the possibility of a pneumonia </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">diagnosis. This is the case report of 24-year-old male patient. He was diagnosed with </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">pneumonia. His treatment was starting and after 7 treatments, he became completely </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">recovered. For his disease diagnosis different tests are also performed.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>

<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Asraya –Asrayee bhava sambandha </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">means relation between </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Asraya </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">(seat) and </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Asrayee </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">(seated). In my survey study </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Asthi Sandhi </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">is the </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Asraya </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">i.e. seat and </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vata and Kapha </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">are </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Asrayee </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">i.e. seated</span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">.

In my survey study I have found that due to various reasons and due to ageing there is an increase in </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vata </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">accompanied by a decrease in </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shleshaka Kapha</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ayurveda is one of the most ancient systems of medicine in the world. At present time, the existence of everything has been proved practically and scientifically. So, Ayurveda needs a deep study and research for proving all the facts established by Acharya in ancient time. In Ayurveda, the concept of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Garbha </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">& </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Garbhotpatti </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">is described systematically. Acharya have explained four important factors as </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Garbha Sambhav Samagri </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">that is </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ritu, Kshetra, Ambu </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beeja</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. These factors are very essential for conception. Infertility may occur if there is any abnormality in </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Garbha Sambhav Samagri</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. So, for a healthy and best offspring the factors concerned with conception must be in good qualities. The knowledge of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Garbhotpatti </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">helps to create suitable conditions for conception and healthy foetus also. This study will help to understand the normal and abnormal features of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Garbha Sambhav Samagri </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">in production of a healthy child. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cholesterol is an important building block in the formation and repair of cell walls, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">function of nerve tissue, and the production of hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">and the stress hormone, cortisol. It is important to understand that fat tissue (cholesterol) </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">in itself is not bad, and is actually essential for the body to function properly. The mixing </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">of ama with fat tissue is the main cause of imbalanced cholesterol as per Ayurveda. When </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">meda dhatu mixes with ama, it changes the quality of fat tissue and the quality of </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">cholesterol, making it unhealthy rather than healthy. High cholesterol raises our risk for </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">heart disease, heart attack. In Ayurvedic perspective, the production of cholesterol does </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">not necessarily need to be lessened, but it needs to be balanced. When the digestion is </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">balanced and healthy, then the body produces .the right amount of cholesterol, in the right </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">proportion to nourish the body. Balanced diet, proper lifestyles, exercise, yoga, balanced </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Agni (digestion & metabolism) play important role in prevention of hypercholesterolemia.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>

<p>Ayurveda the most ancient science of life, practiced in India for thousands of<br>years based on its own unique fundamental principles such as prevention of<br>disease, maintenance of health and promotion of health. Trayopasthamba<br>consists of Ahara (food), Nidra (Sleep) and Brahmacarya (good conducts). Each<br>Upasthamba has its own importance in prevention of disease. Various ancient<br>texts of Yoga, Ayurveda and Puranas talk about the Gunas related to health,<br>behaviour and its effect of the personality in different ways. The concept of Guna<br>dates back to AtharvaVeda, it was discussed in Bhagawad Gita. The concept of<br>Triguna has been utilized to explain the concept of personality in modern era as<br>well. The development of consciousness is apparently rooted in this concept of<br>Triguna. These are known as sattvacalled as stability; Rajas called as activation<br>and Tamas called as inertia. By quantifying those differences in thoughts, one<br>can come to a conclusion where Gunas as a part of personality trait can be studied<br>as aetiology for being diseased or disease free. It helps in building an individual’s<br>personality, depending upon the predominance of Gunas (Sattva, Rajas, and<br>Tamas). Ancient Yogic science classified food in to three basic categories called<br>the Satvik Ahara, Rajasic Ahara and Tamasic Ahara based on their influence on<br>Triguna of mind. In equilibrium, the three Gunas preserve the mind (and<br>indirectly the body), maintaining it in a healthy state or in a state of equilibrium.<br>Any disturbance in this equilibrium results in various types of mental disorders.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Thrombosed external pile is the one which is located distal to the dentate line and develop as a result of tortuosity and distension of External Hemorrhoidal venous system. The engorgement of a hemorrhoidal vessel with acute swelling may allow blood to pool and subsequently clot; this leads to the Acute Thrombosed External Pile mass, a bluish purplish discolored swelling with severe pain and tenderness. The present case is of TEP (Thrombosed external pile) and the effect of Leech application is evaluated on this. The main objective is to assess the effective role of Leech on essential parameters of the patient, that are troublesome sign and symptoms - Pain, edema, tenderness and discoloration. The case is successfully managed with Leech therapy. Hirudin, calin, Factor X</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">a </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">present in the saliva of Leech helps in oppressing the process of blood clot in an External pile mass and provides a symptomatic relief to the patient. </span></p>

<p>Bioenhancers or Bio potentiators are those agents which do not show any pharmacological action of their own at the therapeutic dose used, instead, they when combined with the active drug, lead to the potentiation of the pharmacological activity of the Drug. “Bioenhancing activity” is considered as a revolutionary concept that is being researched and tested in various modern medicines, but its roots, in general, has been obtained from a classical system of medicine called “Ayurveda”. In Ayurveda, the concepts which promote themechanism of bio enhancing activity are of :- Yogavahi, Anupana, Bhaishajya kala, Rasayana, Various Yoga (Formulations), Purana Aushadhies, Penetration enhancers, Action augmenting drugs, Bhavana, and Process of Samshodhana. In this article, an attempt has been made to explain the concepts and mechanism of Yogavahi, and to throw light on the various drugs and processes mentioned in Ayurveda with Yogavahi property.</p>

<p><strong>Background</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">-</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholism is a growing public health and socioeconomic problem </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">around the world. Around 20% of the alcohol drank is absorbed by the stomach. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The remaining 80% is mostly absorbed by the small intestine. The circulatory </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">system also delivers alcohol to the liver, which uses a process known as </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">"metabolizing" to remove it from the bloodstream by converting it to a harmless </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">molecule.

<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Arsha </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">is a very common ano-rectal disease, which destroys the patient’s life as an enemy does. In modern science, it may be co-related with haemorrhoids. Haemorrhoid is a type of ano-rectal ailment that becomes more common as people get older. According to John Goligher (1984), 50 percent of people over the age of 50 years may have haemorrhoids after a thorough examination. It doesn't have a single cause, and it usually manifests as a group effort. In order to cure the patient, these conditions should be addressed with caution</span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Ayurveda </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">and modern science have both outlined many therapies, surgical procedures, medicines etc. When treating this disease, a specific modality should be considered in each circumstance. Patients, however, receive incorrect therapies or medicines due to a lack of information, resulting in several consequences.
