Dr.KSR Prasad lecture on Ayurveda Nutriceuticals in Genitourinary Tract disorders Or Dietary Preventive and Curative aspects of Genitourinary Tract disorders
Basti karma is considered one of the most important Panchakarma therapies and is known as "ArdhaChikitsa". Majja dhatu refers to the unctuous material found inside bones. Basti karma is effective for treating diseases of Majja dhatu by acting on multiple levels including the Asthi and Majja dhatus, where Vata dosha is located. Basti formulations reach the pakvasaya and grahani, areas closely associated with Asthi and Majja, making it well-suited for treating imbalances of these dhatus.
This document discusses the application of siddhantas (scientific principles) to the concept of rasayana in Ayurveda. It provides an introduction to rasayana and outlines materials and methods, references, definitions, objectives, those suitable and unsuitable for rasayana according to classical texts, and different types of rasayana. The document references several Ayurvedic classics and aims to systematically apply siddhantas to better understand rasayana.
1. Tamaka shwasa is a type of respiratory disease characterized by excessive mucus production that obstructs the flow of prana vayu or vital air.
2. It is caused by vitiation of vata and kapha doshas, leading to blockage of the pranavaha and other channels by thick mucus.
3. Tamaka shwasa presents with symptoms like coughing, breathlessness, wheezing, and difficulty expectorating thick mucus. It can be managed but not cured, as it involves deep tissues over long periods and multiple doshas.
Lekhana and chedana karma-Concept of Ayurvedic PharmacologyBidhan Mahajon
This document discusses the Ayurvedic procedures of Lekhana and Chedana karma. Lekhana karma involves scraping or thinning of excess doshas, tissues, and waste products from the body. It acts to dry and remove kapha, meda, and other accumulated substances. Chedana karma involves cutting, tearing, or separating adhered doshas, parasites, and waste. It acts to disunite and eradicate these substances forcefully from the body. Several herbs used for these procedures are described, along with their qualities and indications. Modern views on related processes like expectoration and weight loss drugs are also mentioned.
1. Prameha, or excessive urination, is defined in Ayurvedic texts as characterized by increased frequency and quantity of urine with turbidity. The turbidity can vary depending on aggravated doshas.
2. Kapha vitiation is the primary pathogenesis, spreading throughout the body and mixing with other dhatus like medas, mamsa, affecting the mutravaha srotas.
3. Prameha is classified based on etiology, clinical presentation, body constitution, and prognosis. Major types include Kaphaja, Pittaja, and Vataja Prameha.
The document discusses different methods of medicinal intake in Ayurveda. It provides context on the importance of the four factors (physician, medicine, assistant, patient) for successful treatment. It then describes various typologies or methods of medicinal intake discussed in Ayurvedic texts, including:
1) Six types described by Charaka based on time of intake like day/night, patient strength, relation to food, etc.
2) Medicines can be taken before, during or after meals based on which dosha is aggravated.
3) Other authors like Sushruta and Vagbhata describe 5-10 additional types of intake based on preparation, procedure and application method

- Each planet is associated with a dosha - for example, Saturn is linked to vata dosha. Planetary placements can indicate imbalances and help determine an individual's shareera (physical) and manasika (psychological) prakriti.
- Different astrological methods like rasi (sign), dre

Laboratory investigations can play an important role in Ayurvedic practice by providing objective data to support diagnoses, monitor treatment effectiveness, and assess health outcomes. While Ayurveda has its own diagnostic methods, contemporary tests can offer accuracy and be adapted to validate Ayurvedic principles. Tests are categorized as diagnostic, prognostic, or for evaluating the effects of treatment. Specific investigations like cardiac enzymes or liver function tests can help establish risk levels and guide management. The potential for utilizing modern laboratory techniques as markers in Ayurveda deserves further exploration and experimentation.

Sulfuric acid
Virechana in Panchakarma - 02
• In the human body, only the amino acids cysteine
(nonessential) and methionine (essential) contain
sulfur. This means that many proteins containing
them are able to produce small quantities of
sulfuric acid when metabolized.
– The influx of sulfuric acid into the skin is partnered
with the immediate dissociation of its hydrogen ions;
the pH of the affected tissue drops rapidly. In this
highly acidic environment, the surrounding cells die,
leading to coagulation necrosis, eschars (dry, black
tissue) and thrombus forming in the capillaries and
larger blood vessels in the case of second and third‐
degree burns.

Hydrochloric acid
Virechana in Panchakarma - 02
• Stomach has hydrochloric acid helps body to
break down, digest, and absorb nutrients
such as protein. It also eliminates bacteria and
viruses in the stomach, protecting your body
from infection.
– Low levels of hydrochloric acid can have a
profound impact on the body's ability to properly
digest and absorb nutrients. Hypochlorhydria is a
condition marked by low levels of stomach acid.
Cause digestive problems, a lack of vitamins, or
stomach infection.

Phosphoric acid
Virechana in Panchakarma - 02
• Phosphoric acid is made from the mineral
phosphorus, which is found naturally in the body.
It works with calcium to form strong bones and
teeth. It also helps support kidney function and
the way your body uses and stores energy.
Phosphorus helps your muscles recover after a
hard workout.
– Extra phosphorus causes body changes that pull
calcium out of your bones, making them weak. High
phosphorus and calcium levels also lead to dangerous
calcium deposits in blood vessels, lungs, eyes, and
heart.

Carbonic acid
Virechana in Panchakarma - 02
• Carbonic acid is important in the transport of
carbon dioxide in the blood. Carbon dioxide
enters blood in the tissues because its local
partial pressure is greater than its partial
pressure in blood flowing through the tissues.
– In the lungs, carbonic anhydrase reverses the
reaction, turning the carbonic acid back into CO2
to be exhaled. This process also maintains blood
pH by controlling the amount of bicarbonate ions
and protons dissolved in the blood.

Virechana Drug Dynamics
Virechana in Panchakarma - 02
Atyagni Mandagni Samagni
Combustion Indigestion Digestion
– Induction of Hyperperistalsis
‐ Absorption in to circulation
‐ Collection of Bio waste through
Anupravana Bhava
(Pitta – Acidic pH Bio waste)
Dosha Koshtagati
Adhobhaga Dosha Harana
Virechana
Vamana
Adversity Reaction
No Result
Motilin is the hormone that is cyclically
released during the fasted state and is
released by the entero-endocrine cells
(Mo cells) in the upper small intestine.
Motilin stimulates gastric and small
intestine motility, causing undigested food
in these regions to move into the large
intestine.

Identification of Virechana Drug
Virechana in Panchakarma - 02
• Sharngadhara – Anulomana, Sramsana,
Bhedana and Virechana classification is based
upon the removal of Dosha after Paka or
without
– Paka is transformation or digestion of the Koshta
contents – Dosha, Mala, etc.
• Virechana is not mere evacuation of intestinal
content by generating hyper motility
• The Drug acts even in else where systems to
drag the metabolic bio‐waste to Koshtanga

Anulomana
Virechana in Panchakarma - 02
• The anulomana is a Medicine –
• the Pachana means the process of digestion
• Mala‐Bhedana indicates the bio waste
molecules to break in to smaller and facilitates
& permeate through intestinal wall
• Adhonayet represents the increasing motility
through Motilin production

Sransana
Virechana in Panchakarma - 02
• Either Digested or undigested bulk segregation
which is adhesive in Koshta / Intestines is
removed through recum is Sransana
Virechana
– This much more to remove only abdominal
content
22. 01
Dr. K. Shiva Rama Prasad, at http://www.technoayurveda.com/
Bhedana
Virechana in Panchakarma - 02
• The digested food of past getting Pindikrita
either because of lack of water or impaired
water metabolism that prevents the normal
motility and stool evacuation is eliminated by
Bhedana Virechana
– The Bhedana works locally much and breaks
bigger molecules in system

Dr. K. Shiva Rama Prasad, at http://www.technoayurveda.com/
Rechana
Virechana in Panchakarma - 02
• The Mala either digested or not but
accumulated in the intestines is propelled out
by liquefying is Rechana
– Here we observe water transportation from
interstitial compartment to Gut along with Bio‐
waste
– Rechana may remove only water soluble bio waste

Standardization of Virechana Drug
Virechana in Panchakarma - 02
• At present we get many combination and
permutation of Virechana drugs in the market
• The Virechana drug mainly acts over –
– Digestion (Achapitta, Pachaka pitta, Mlaarupapitta)
– Blood pH (all acids)
– Water Metabolism
• The drug standardization needs to observe
these issues while grading the Virechana effect

Standardization of Virechana Dose
Virechana in Panchakarma - 02
• The dose is to be determined by Age and GUT
activity of individual based on Mrudu to
kathina which is body fluid dependent
• The drug acting time also plays an important
role with quantity of Virechana drug
• All Churna or Lehya require 15 gms
• The Yoga told in specific Diseases by Acharya
do require emphasis as a combination in
which the dose is readily described

Selection of Virechana
Virechana in Panchakarma - 02
• Virechana is commonly used Panchakarma but less
focused in literature and mostly narrated as like
Vamana Karma
• Virechana selection is best to adopt in –
– Anulomana – Digestive disorders or Amashaya Samutha
Vyadhi; Amlapitta
– Sransana – is used the Koshta involvement such as Liver
etc. ; Udara
– Bhedana – is used in water metabolism impairement and
added heavy molecular bio waste in blood ‐Kamala
– Rechana – is used very commonly to clear the stools from
intestines where water metabolism is impaired ‐
Malavashtambha
