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.

The Avabahuka disease is nearer to Frozen shoulder of musculoskeletal disorders.
Avabahuka is a Vata vikar as per Ayurveda that affects the ansha sandhi i.e. shoulder joint. The description available in Charak samhita, Sushruta samhita, Ashtanga Hridaya etc. The pain, stiffness, and decreased ROM range of motion is a classical feature of a frozen shoulder.
The treatment of frozen shoulder is possible in Ayurveda through drugs and various treatment modalities depending on the stages of the case.
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.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

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%).[2]
In Ayurveda there is no exact correlation to
Hypothyroidism but by clinical features we consider it
as Vyadhi Sankara. The management of
Hypothyroidism involves two factors those are
supplementation of hormones (L thyroxin) and
surgery. Treating Hypothyroidism with hormones may
induce certain risks, primarily of cardiac and skeletal
complications and exacerbation of several pre-existing
illness. Potential hazards of hormonal treatment
are;[3]
1. Exacerbation or precipitation of angina pectoris
2. Myocardial Infarction
3. Osteoporosis
4. Altered insulin requirements in DM
5. Precipitation of addisonian
6. Altered drug metabolism
Many times the Hypothyroidism is misdiagnosed as

Ayurvedic approach to hypothyroidism
Through scattered references from the classics, we
can describe this hormonal imbalance. Acharya
Charaka explained Astanindita, Avarana, Bhasmaka
Roga and these are taken as functional disorders of
endocrinal gland. Involvement of Agni,
Dhatwagnimandya and Amalakshana are similar to
those of symptoms of Hypothyroidism.
Agni
The function of Jataragni is Ayu, Bala, Swastya,
Utsaha, Upachaya, Prabha, Oja and Teja.
Impairement of this leads to disease.[5]
Dhatuvruddi
Kayagni present in the Dhatu also. Their decrease and
increase function leads to Dhatu Vriddi and Kshaya
and it will increase or decrease the successing Dhatu
too.[6]
Ama

Smpraptivighatana Chikitsa is the line of management
for Hypothyroidism.
Panchakarma Chikitsa
In Ayurvedic classics Galaganda Roga has been
explained in that Chikitsa Sutra is as follows.
Chardi Virechanam Nasyam Swedodhooma
Siravyadha Agnikarma Ksharayoga Pralepo
Langhanani Cha | [Bh.Ra. Galaganda Chikitsa 82]
When we follow Sampraptivighatana Chikitsa, there is
involvement of Kaphavrita Samana Vata Dosha and
Bahudoshavasta. Samshodhana Chikitsa need to be
adopted for Kaphaharana and for releasing the
Margavarodha.
Vamana[9]
As per Vagbhata, Vamana is to eliminate Kapha
Dosha associates with Pitta. Hypothyroidsm is
Kaphavritta Samanavayu and Pitta Vruddi, so it
helps to eliminate Doshas and release
Margavarodha.
Kapha is Mala of Rasa Dhatu.
Rasadhatvagnimandya leads Vriddi of
Malarupikapha, so Vamana helps to eliminate
Kapha.
Langhana is a line of manangement in the
Rasajavikara. Vamana is a type of Langhana
therefore Vamana pacifices the symptoms related
to the Rasa Dhatudusti.
Hypothyroidism is a Srotorodha Pradhanavyadhi,
so here Vamana will help for Srotovishodhana and
also normalize the Pratilomagati of Vata.
The Ushna, Tikshna, Sukshmaguna of Vamana
Dravya reaches to Hridaya by the virtue of their
potency and there by circulates all over body.
They liquefy the morbid Dosha and expel it
through oral route. It has direct effect on Agni.
Thus Vamana helps in Samprativighatan Chikitsa.
Virechana[10]
Virechana Karma removes Avarana
(Srotoshodhana) and acts at Dhatvagni level there
by corrects Agni.
Nasya
Nasya is prime treatment modality in the
management of Urdwajatrugataroga, Galaganda
is one among Jatrutwaroga. Nasya Karma
stimulates the olfactory nerve which acts on
higher centres i.e. Hypothalamus and pituitary
gland. Thus it acts on endocrine system.
Basti
Basti acts at enteric nervous system and
influences cellular level.
Stimulates HPT axis by virtue of thyroid gut
connection.
As per Research, Lekhana Basti is effective in the
management of hypothyroidism. It does Shaman
of Vata which is Avrita by Kapha Dosha.[11]
As per Research, Dwipanchamooladi Niruha Basti
combination is beneficial in treating signs and
symptoms of Hypothyroidism.[12]
Takradhara[13]
Hypothyroidism is psychosomatic disorder, so
Takradhara with Aragwadhadi, Varunadi, Eladigana is
beneficial.

CONCLUSION
Hypothyroidism is an endocrinal disorder which
produces group of symptoms. In Ayurveda we can
consider it as Vyadhi Sankara. Before treating disease,
proper diagnosis is essential and it is achieved by
history, clinical examination and thyroid function test.
As per Ayurveda to treat this disease one must have
knowledge of Agni, Dosha, Dhatu and Srotas and
Samprapti Vighatana Chikitsa. Agnideepana,
Srotoshodhana can be achieved through
Panchakarma Chikitsa. Vamana and Virechana Karma
acts at the level of Dhatu and does Sroto Shodhana.
Nasya Karma acts on higher centre Hypothalamus
thus corrects hormonal imbalance. Lekhana Basti
does Kapha Chedana and Vatanulomana. So
Panchakarma Chikitsa is best to treat the
Hypothyroidism.
