We are in technical era where there is more of sedentary life style and stress along with this
urbanization is affecting our quality of food and health. This is leading to many lifestyle disorders and
hormonal imbalances in our body. Hypothyroidism one among the endocrinal disorder. Thyroid is an
endocrinal gland secrets T3 and T4 hormones regulated by TSH which is secreted by Pituitary gland.
These hormones have two major effects on the body, 1) To increase the overall metabolic rate in the
body 2) To stimulate growth in children. Hypothyroidism is common health issue in India. The highest
prevalence of hypothyroidism (13.1%) is noted in people aged 46-54yrs old. With people aged 18-35
yrs being less affected (7.5%). To prevent these hazards Panchakarma is beneficiary to maintain
metabolic rate. Here an attempt is made to diagnose hypothyroidism in the light of Ayurveda and
management guidelines through Panchakarma.
A Comparative Study of Lakshanas and Samprapti of BhasmakRog w.s.r to Hyperth...IJARIIT
Agni is the fundamental concept of Ayurveda, which has described an important factor of Digestion and Metabolism in our body. Agni converts Food in the form of Energy, which is responsible for all the Vital Functions of our body. According to Ayurveda, रोगाः सर्वेपि मंदाग्नौः.............॥ all diseases occurs due to Mandagni except Bhasmaka Rog. It occurs due to Agni vruddhi which response to Kshudda vriddhi, Dhatu ksheenta with various Pitta prakop Lakshanas, hence Bhasmaka Rog directly effects on Metabolism. In human body, Thyroxin Hormone also plays an important role in Metabolism. If level of this hormone increased, results to increase Appetite, Sweating etc. This high level of thyroxin called Hyperthyroidism and its symptoms are same as Pitta Prakopa Lakshana. So the question arises whether there is any correlation between Bhasmaka Rog and Hyprthyroidism? What are the Lakshanas and Samprapti of both conditions? With the present article, we are trying to study the Lakshana and Samprapti of Bhasmaka Rog with special reference Hyperthyroidism.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Management of childhood premature graying of hair
1. Critical Analysis And Treatment Protocol for Management
of Childhood Premature Graying Hair (Canities) with
special reference to Palitya (A Review)
Dr. Shrinidhi K. Acharya
National Institute of Ayurveda , Jaipur
2. INTRODUCTION
Skin and hair has got a lot of concern for interest of cosmetic purpose.
Hair length, color, and style play an important role in physical appearance and
self-perception.
The term premature graying is applied, when abnormal graying will be found in
young population and also in children.
The color of human hair depends on melanogenesis, through a process of
synthesis of melanin and its subsequent distribution from the melanocyte to
keratinocyte.
3. Cont…
The human hair follicles contain two types of melanin-
The black-brown pigment eumelanins mainly present in black and brown
hair.
The yellow or red pheomelanins in red and blonde hair.
Ayurveda, the richest heritage of India long back highlighted this burning
problem and categorized the same under the heading of Palitya.
The disease Palitya is mentioned under the heading of Kshudraroga and
Shirogataroga.
The main etiology of Palitya is vitiation of Dehoshma and Ushna Guna of
Pitta which circulates to Romakoopa and causes Paka of hair.
4. AIMS AND OBJECTS
Review and Critical analysis of premature graying of hair in children .
To evaluate etiopathgenesis of Palitya in children
To study treatment protocol for management of premature graying of hair
(Palitya) in childhood clinical practice.
5. MATERIAL AND METHODS
Information on premature graying of hair (Palitya) is collected from
different -
All available Ayurvedic literature
Contemporary medical text books,
Magazines,
Journals, and
e- References
6. ETIOLOGY ACC. TO AYURVEDA
According to Ayurveda the disease of Palitya, specific Nidana are not
mentioned.
But on basis of Samprapti, Pitta Prakopaka Nidana, Rasadushti and
Asthidushti Nidana can be considered.
Nidanas of the Kshudra Roga and Shirro Rogas can be also applied to
understand Palitya.
7. Cont…
For easy understanding Nidana of Palitya can be classified under
these headings-
Dietary (Ahara),
Environmental (Vihara),
Psychological (Manasika),
Unknown causes (Adibalapravrita).
8. Cont…
The Dietary (Ahara) Nidana –
Consumption of Ushna, Tikshna, Lavana, Amla, Vidahi,
Tilataila, Kulatha, Sarshapa, Dadhi, Kanji etc Pittavardhak
Aahara.
Above all causes vitiate Pitta and affect Rasa Dhatu Poshana
Karma.
Rasa Dhatu and Asthi Dhatu Dushti is the Nidana of Palitya.
9. Cont…
Environmental (Vihara) Nidana –
Like Ratrijagarana, Atapasevana, Dhumasevana,
Dushitavayusevana, SiroabyangaAyoga, Dushitajalasnana,
Ativyayama and Upavasa are important.
Above all causes accounts for improper nourishment of scalp
and hair follicles leading to premature graying of hair.
10. Cont…
Psychological (Manasika) Nidana – like Krodha, Sokha,
Adhikachinta and Manasikashrama are considered to be both
Pitta and Vata Prakopa Nidanas responsible for Akalajpalitya.
Unknown causes (Adibalapravrita) Nidana - Development
of premature graying of hairs in Pitta Prakriti.
11. ETIOLOGY ACC. TO CONTEMPORARY SCIENCE
Achromotrichia-
The change in hair colour occurs when melanin ceases to be
produced in the hair root and new hairs grow without
pigment.
Stress-
Stress has been considered as major cause of the induce
achromotrichia.
12. Cont…
Nutritional factor-
Nutritional deficiencies like vitamin B12 deficiency, severe
iron deficiency, chronic protein loss, copper deficiency, low
serum ferritin, and low serum calcium and vitamin D3 levels
are often found associated with premature graying of hairs.
Environmental factors-
Smoking results in generation of huge amount of reactive
oxygen, species leading to increase oxidative stress
culminating into damage to melanin producing cells
melanocyte.
14. Symptomatology of Palitya (Roopa)
The symptomatolgy of Palitya has been attributed to Tridosha
pradhanta by Ashtang Hridayam.
Vata pradhana Palitya-
Sphutitam (cracked),
Shyava (black in colour),
Karksha (rough),
Ruksha (dry),
Jwalataprabham (watery) are commonly seen.
15. Cont…
Pitta pradhana Palitya-
Dahayukta (burning sensation),
Pita (yellow colour) will be evidenced.
Kapha pradhana Palitya-
Snigdha (smooth),
Vivradhi (growing),
Sthula (thick),
Shukla (white) will be seen.
16. Cont…
Tridoshaja Palitya-
Sarva Dosha Lakshana Yukta (Mixed features of all the dosas) will be
seen.
Acharya Yogaratnakara also mentioned the same.
Madhava Nidana explains-
Kalaj Palitya in which graying of hair occurs after certain age due to
vitiation of Tridosha.
Akalaj Palitya occurring due to vitiation of Shariroushma and Pitta
Dosha in an early age.
18. CURRENT TREATMENT TRENDS
Topical antiaging compounds
Oral supplementation with l-cystine and l-methionine, and
topical melatonin
Large doses of P-aminobenzoic acid (PABA)
Prostaglandins (stimulators of melanocyte growth and
melanogenesis)
Temporary hair colorants are used worldwide
19. Cont….
The basic treatment principle of Palitya -
Avoidance of causative factors like Pittavardhak Ahara and
Vihara.
Purification therapies (Samshodhana Chikitsa)
Nasal medication (Nasya Karma)
Anointing the face and head (Vaktra-siro Abhyanga)
Application of pastes (Lepa) and
Oral medications.
20. Nasya Karma
In Akalaj-Palitya the Navana and Pratimarsha Nasya is mentioned.
Yogas for Nasya Karma- These Yogas for Nasya karma mentioned in
different classics have been given below.
Bhringaraja Taila
Bhringaraja Ghrita
Chandanadya Taila
Prapoudarikadi Taila
Nimba beejadi Taila
Yashtimadhuka Taila
22. Shiro Lepa
1. Lohachurna + Bhringaraja + Haritaki + Vibhitaki + Amalaki + black
soil are taken in equal quantity powdered and mixed with sugar
cane juice. This mixture is kept for 1month and that juice is applied
over hair.
2. Two Amalaki fruits, two Haritaki and two Vibhitaki, 5 karsha Amra
majja; 1 karsha lohachurna are mixed well and kept in Iron jar. This
is kept for whole night and applied.
3. Triphala + Loha churna + Bhringaraja swaras - Kept in matured
coconut for month. This is applied over scalp.
4. Kashmaryadi Taila.
24. DISCUSSION
Palitya is a disease which does not have satisfactory treatment till date.
The reason behind that may be improper execution of treatment.
In Ayurveda the first line of treatment seems Shodhana.
Shodhana expels vitiated Doshas from body.
Basic pathogenesis of Palitya is based on either Margavarodha or Dhatu
Kshaya/Dushti or sometimes both.
25. Cont…
After proper Shodhana any treatment works better as clean
cloth can be coloured better than a dirty cloth.
Amongst Shodhana, though Vamana and Virechana are best
but Nasya seems treatment of choice in Palitya because of
its action on Uttamanga and it can act as both Shodhana
and Shaman.
26. Cont…
If we go through the mechanism of Nasya the drug absorbed
by three process in nasal mucosa.
1. The olfactory neurons
2. second by supporting cells and surrounding capillaries.
3. The third way by cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF).
27. Cont…
Shiroabhyanga, Sirodhara, Sirolepa are other external
treatments which can be used simultaneously.
Many oils and Lepas are only Krishnikarna in nature act as a
stimulant or nutrient for the hair follicles like-
Nimba Beeja Taila
Bhringaraja
Nirgundi
Lepa of Karveer Moola Swarasa and Dugdhika Swaras
28. CONCLUSION
After reviewing the literature we can conclude that Palitya is a disease
which has Srotorodha along with Dosha Prakopa.
From the above discussion we can say that the Panchkarma plays
important role in Chikitsa of Palitya.
Acharya Charaka and Vagbhatta mentioned Samshodhana therapy causes
expulsion of vitiated Dosha and thus breaks the Samprapti of Palitya.
29. Cont…
Vamana expels Apakva Pitta and Kapha Dosha from
Urdhavamarga.
Virechana expels Pitta Dosha from Adhomarga.
After the Samshodhana karma, if we use Samana Chikitsa with
yukti Praman, we can find better results in premature graying
of hair.
