Dr.R.V.Shettar1
, Dr.Ashwini2
Abstract: It is estimated that approximately 15% of the more than 150 million people with
diabetes world-wide will at some stage develop diabetic foot ulceration. Foot problems are
indeed a global problem and there is no area in the world that does not report the
development of foot lesions as a consequence mainly of neuropathy and peripheral vascular
disease. Although there have been many developments in recent years which encourage
optimism for future improvement in diabetic foot care, there is still much to be done
Diabetes is known as Madhumeha, which is considered as ‘YAPYA’ in Ayurveda,
means it cannot be cured fully but can be managed through alternative medicines.
Ayurvedic line of treatment shows buoyant management. In our institute management of
diabetic foot is done with Panchavalkala Kashaya for vruna prakshalana and Ropana Taila
pratisarana or Go mutra kshar prakshalan and nimba kalka application along with proper
internal medication depending upon the patient condition.

Dr. Gajanana Hegde1
, Dr. Mythrey R.C.2
, Dr. Sneha3
Abstract: Man has adapted himself to the fast paced life by modifying his dietary and
lifestyle preferences to suit the modern era. This has resulted in a state of discrepancy
between the external environment and his internal mechanism causing multitudes of diseases
which are popularly referred as ‘lifestyle diseases’. Diet is the key for health. Ayurveda
which has been around for thousands of years and literally translates as “life science”
considers wholesome diet is the prime cause for growth and development of the body, on the
contrary unwholesome diet causes several diseases. Fast foods, lack of exercise, stress,
various addictions etc. are some of the factors which contribute greatly to such diseases.
These factors generally act by impairing the metabolism of an individual making him prone
to series of disorders. Hyperlipidemia is one such disorder which is identified as a potential
risk factor for multitudes of diseases like cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome and
even hypertension, diabetes, obesity. Hyperlipidemia is a condition which shares a lot of
similarity in pathogenesis and clinical presentation of Medoroga. Medoroga is a condition in
which there is abnormal and unequal distribution and collection of Medo Dhatu in body and
has been classified under Ashta Nindita Purusha. Lowering cholesterol level reduces risk of
heart disease and stroke. Studies show that for every 1% reduction in cholesterol levels there
is a 2% reduction in the rate of heart disease. The treatment strategy is to implement changes
in lifestyle, improved diet, & more exercises. These are the most effective means of both
prevention & treatment. And, in less severe cases, helps in lowering high LDL cholesterol
levels. In addition to eating a healthy diet low in saturated fat, with plenty of whole grains,
fruits, and vegetables some specific foods and supplements may help lower cholesterol and
improve long-term prognosis.

19. MANAGEMENT & TREATMENT OF OBESITY BY FOOT MASSAGE
Dr. Dr. K.T. Vinod Krishnan1
Abstract: Obesity, off course it leads to number of health hazards. Ayurveda never
entertained obesity- Athisthoulya, because it is not easy to treat Athisthoulya comparing with
krisa (slim). Excess food, laziness, lack of exercise and modern style of living are taking
people to obesity and its allied problems.
The problem of highly obese person is that he cannot move nor does anybody exercise
freely, because the overweight always makes restricted movements. In that condition foot
massage – padagata is highly effective to reduce the obesity. Here, in the treatment procedure
of padagata, the obese person is lying on the mattress on a floor and the therapist using his
legs for massage. In this condition the obese person never want to do any active body
movements, but only lying on the floor. We can do whole body padagata massage or a
portion or anga of the body according to the needed area. The time of the treatment varies,
but generally it takes one hour for whole body procedure.
In Kerala foot massage is very popular. It is also useful in neuro - muscular
treatments. It is a part of Ayurvedic and kalari martial treatment. The different massage poses
and positions are useful to get good massage to the entire body of the person. Normally 14
days, 21 days, 28 days are the duration of the course of treatment.

20. ANAYURVEDIC APPROACH TO THE MANAGEMENT OF
HYPOTHYROIDISM
Dr. A.I. Sankal1
, Dr. A.S. Prasanth2
, Dr. Sanjay M. 3
Abstract: Thyroid gland is one of the most important and sensitive endocrine gland. As it
easily responds to stress and stimuli the global incidence of hypothyroidism is increasing day
by day.
Hypothyroidism is believed to be a common health issue in India, as it is
worldwide. At least one in every 10 adults in India is suffering from hypothyroidism, a study
published in Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism revealed. Female gender and
old age were found to have significant association with hypothyroidism.
We Ayurvedic practioners are least concerned about thyroid disorders. Most of us
think that thyroid disorder is a hard nut to crack and it can be managed only through
allopathic interventions. Due to inadequate success in combating the disease with modern
medications, there is an increasing demand to treat the disease with other systems of
medicine. It is high time to formulate an ayurvedic approach to tackle this issue.
When we go through the symptoms of hypothyroidism we can see that it goes hand in
hand with Kapha Medo Vridhi, dominance of Tamo Guna and some additional symptoms
like Constipation, Muscle cramps and aches, Hair fall and heavy menstrual periods.
Basic line of treatment to tackle Kapha, Medo vridhi. Measures to increase Jataragni
should be our main aim while treating hypothyroidism. Upavasa, Kaphahara aharas,
Udwarthana, RookshaSweda, Vyayama, Yogasanas, Lekhana Vasthi, Vamana, Nasya,
Dhoomapana can be done along with Kaphamedohara Yogas.
