Mind health is among the most significant area for proper integration through which the prevention of anxiety depressive related conditions triggering to many health dysfunctions including non- communicable diseases and or life style disorders. Statistics globally reveal the significant amount of one or the other kind of mental health issues relatively to one in five suffering in so called a healthy society.
Methods and means for achieving mental health should be aimed at the possible simplicity in categorising the criteria according to the individual constraints of constitutional to generalised approaches with the dietary lifestyle management and the application of non-invasive protocols of treatments as prescribed by the ancient traditional wisdom or health and wellness through in Ayurveda. Bridging the gaps with the cutting-edge guidelines of
inclusiveness through proper assessment based on scriptural grades of mind negativity describes from 09 mental to verbal five and also bodily deciphering languages in priority.

framework.
Nandu koregaonkar
Classical Ayurveda is based on Tridoshas (three cardinal humours – Kapha, Vata and Pitta). Maintaining the balance of the Tridoshas in the body results in health, while vitiation of one or more of the Doshas results in imbalance called Vyadhi (disease).
Tridoshas are derived from five universal elements called Panchamahabhutas (Panch = five, Maha = great, Bhuta = principles). The principles are Prithvi – Matter, Aap – Water, Tej – Fire, Vayu – Air and Akash – Space.
The balance of Panchamahabhutas in the body results in health, while their imbalance leads to disease. It is a deeper and sutler form of targeted treatment. Since it eliminates the root cause of the disease at a more elemental level, rather than its symptoms, its effectiveness has been proven with miraculous results.
This specialisation in Ayurveda was re-learnt and further researched by “Brihattrayiratna* Vaidyaraj Atmaram Waman Datarshastri”. Along with his huge lineage of student Vaidyas^, he established the “Vaidyaraj Datar Panchabhautik Chikitsa & Samshodhan Kendra” (an education and research centre) at Sangli, a small town in the State of Maharashtra India.
This form of Ayurvedic treatment has helped the poor and working class, who can rarely afford an expensive Panchakarma Treatment.
Datarshastri also developed a unique set of simple herbal formulations making them more effective and potent, resulting in reduction of dosages and costs.
My talk is based on this Panchabhautik Vichar (understanding) and Hridroga Chikitsa (treatment)

Ayurvedic Unique Medication on Male Infertility- A Case Study
Md. Babul Akter*, Prof. Kamrun Nahar Paulin, Md. Masum Billah
Abstract
Infertility is one of the major reproductive health problems affecting not only individuals but also mental and social well-being of the whole family. Primary infertility refers to inability to conceive within two years of regular unprotected sexual exposure and secondary infertility refers to the inability to conceive following a previous pregnancy. For men, poor quality and quantity of spermatozoa in the semen is one of the predominant causes of male infertility. Ayurveda explains infertility as Vandhyatwa. Infertility is co-related to klaibya/ED/impotency and factors associated with Bandhyatwa are abnormalities of Structural and functional impairment of Sperm (Charak-Chi 30).
In this case study we enrolled five men in different ages who was desiring to conceive for more than 3 years of married life having unprotected sexual intercourse, and seeking Ayurvedic treatment, diet, regimen and life style. Routine investigations of these patients and their partners were normal except male partner’s semen analysis revealed abnormal result.
We adopted Ayurvedic principles such as psychological counseling and post sexual position, and medications; Rasayana (Rejuvinative), Pathya-Apathya (Diet & regimen) which are most important for healthy semen and conception. All five female partners appeared conceived within one year

Abstract-
which is playing a better role since last few decades. Patients suffering from the disease
which detoriates not only multiple functions of body systems but also affects the quality of life of the patients.
Terminally ill patients specially requiring palliative care suffering with many common disorders either because of the progression of disease itself or induced by the treatment modalities given to the patients. Physical symptoms other than pain often contribute to sufferings near to the end of life. In addition to pain, the most common symptoms in the terminal stages of cancer patients are- fatigue, anorexia, cachexia, nausea, vomiting, constipation, delirium, dyspnoea loss of weight, insomnia, dysphasia, diarrhea, edema, ascites, plural effusion, hemorrhage, weakness, drowsiness, paralysis, cough, hiccup and bedsore etc. Management of even a single symptomatic disorder in such patients plays an important role to improve quality of life.
Ayurveda is considered as the sciences of life. The approach of Ayurveda towards diseases and health is based on its unique principal of Tridoshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). Like modern medicine, Ayurveda has its own role in the prevention and management of disease like cancer requiring palliative care. During ancient time cancer was not an important disease entity, due to its less prevalence but presently, the situation has thoroughly changed and
become the major cause of fatality, second only to cardiac ailments. It is no more considered
as an unimportant illness as was in the past.
According to Ayurveda the three basic approaches of treatment can play a better role in palliative care viz. Daivavyapashraya (Spritual Therapy), Yuktivavyapashraya
(Objectively Planned Therapy) and Satwavajaya (Psychological Therapy). In objectively planned therapy various formulations of herbal / mineral / herbo mineral preparations either alone or in combinations are used according to nature and severity of disease and condition of the patients. Relief from coexisting disorders in a terminally ill patient is of a great importance.
Under the heading consideration is to be given on use of – specific medicine, potent pain killer, symptoms relieving medicine, improvement of metabolic activities, good dietary regimen, use of Rasayanas and code of good conduct are mentioned in Ayurveda as a holistic approach of treatment in Cancer Palliative care .The matter in detailed shall be discussed and presented during my talk.

Prof. Dr. SHRINIWAS GUJJARWAR
Ayurveda is science of Life and the concept of Marma Sharir and its clinical importance is mentioned in Ayurveda Samhitas. Marma Sharir refers to the vital points or sensitive areas of the body where vital energy (prana) is believed to be concentrated. These points are considered significant in both preventive and therapeutic aspects ofAyurvedic practice.
There are total 107 Marma points mentioned in the Sushruta Samhita and charak sanhita present in body. Marma places are the point of junction of the Mansa, Sira, Asthi, Dhamni and Sandhi where the Prana situated. Acharyas have classified the Marma places on the basis of location, number, composition, effects of injury etc. Marmas are vital parts of the body. Marma is locating place of prana and energy. Any injuries directly affecting the Marma sthana (sites of Marmas) results to death immediately or later or serious complications. Diseases which are aries from marma sthan are difficult to cure. Acharya Charaka mention that diseases of Trimarma is difficult to treat for example disease of Shira Hridya and Basti and Shira. Therefore the knowledge of Marma is very essential for the surgeon to protect the patient from any harm during the surgery.
Acharya Sushruta mention that “knowledge of Marmas is half of the knowledge of surgery” because knowledge on various
classification, their nature, extent of area, consequence & prognosis of Marma plays an important
role for the doctor particularly during procedure over the Marma area of the body. So surgeon or Vaidya should be known about Marma during diagnosis & treatment the disease.
Marma Sharir continues to be an essential component of Ayurvedic practice. Ayurvedic physicians and practitioners utilize the knowledge of Marma points in
diagnostics, therapeutic interventions, and preventive
healthcare. Techniques such as Marma therapy and Marma Massage focus on the stimulation and manipulation of Marma points for various health
conditions.
Marma points are believed to be
energy centers that regulate the flow of prana (vital
energy) throughout the body. Keeping these points in
balance promotes the harmonious flow of energy, thereby supporting overall health and preventing the accumulation of energetic imbalances that can lead to disease.
Therapeutic applications of Marma Sharir aim to promote a holistic sense of well-being by addressing not only physical ailments but also emotional, mental, and spiritual imbalances.
The diagnostic and therapeutic applications of Marma Sharir provide a comprehensive approach to healthcare
in Ayurveda.
As understanding the energetic principles and vital
energy pathways in Ayurveda is essential for maintaining
optimal health and balance.Because Marma points are
site of prana It recognizes that physical health is intricately linked to the flow and balance of prana and emphasizes practices and therapies that support the
harmonious movement of vital energy. By working with
these energetic principles, Ayurveda aims to restore and
maintain overall well-being at the physical, mental, and
spiritual levels.

AYURVEDIC APPROACH IN INTERNAL MEDICINE AND PANCHAGAVYA CHIKITSA- RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE
Prof.O.P.Singh, Dept of Kayachikitsa, FoAy, IMS, BHU.
Panchagavya Chikitsa, an Ayurvedic approach, has shown potential in managing metabolic disorders. This traditional practice utilizes five products derived from cows: milk, ghee, curd, urine, and dung. Research suggests that Panchagavya Chikitsa may help alleviate symptoms of metabolic disorders, such as diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia. Panchagavya Chikitsa have the potential in reducing blood glucose levels and improving insulin sensitivity. Panchagavya Chikitsa may aid in weight management by regulating lipid metabolism and enhancing fat burning. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Panchagavya Chikitsa may help mitigate cardiovascular risk factors associated with metabolic disorders. Panchagavya Chikitsa influence the gut microbiome, leading to improved metabolic function and reduced inflammation. The bioactive compounds present in Panchagavya Chikitsa help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, contributing to improved metabolic health. Its holistic approach, addressing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, may provide a valuable addition to conventional treatments. Further research is warranted to confirm these findings and explore the mechanisms underlying Panchagavya Chikitsa’s therapeutic effects.” Keywords – Panchagavya Chikitsa, antioxidant, cardiovascular, Metabolic disorders.

*Corresponding Author: dbakter@hamdarduniversity.edu.bd
Background and Objective:
Sarivadyasav (SRB) is an Ayurvedic preparation traditionally used for treating various dermatological diseases among rural populations. This study aimed to investigate the toxicological characteristics of SRB to better understand its safety profile.
Method:
Female Sprague-Dawley rats were chronically administered SRB at a dose of 40 ml/kg daily for 35 days. The study assessed:
(i) Effect on growth,
(ii) Absolute weight of organs post-sacrifice,
(iii) Relative organ weight ratio,
(iv) Water content of different tissues.
Results and Conclusion:
Throughout the experimental period, SRB-treated animals consistently showed a decrease in body weight; however, it was not statistically significant. On Day 35, a noticeable (but not significant) 9.41% body weight loss was observed (p=0.102).
A statistically very highly significant (p=0.001) 33.01% decrease was observed in the absolute weight of the female rat heart.
Similarly, a statistically very highly significant (p=0.001) 26.69% decrease was recorded in the relative percent weight of the heart.
A statistically significant (p=0.011) 7.54% decrease was observed in the heart’s water content.
The lung tissue showed a 15.13% decrease in water content, which was noticeable but not statistically significant (p=0.060).
The liver exhibited a noticeable increase in absolute and relative weight, whereas the liver’s water content decreased.
A statistically significant (p=0.014) 17.99% decrease in the absolute weight of the kidney was recorded.
A statistically highly significant (p=0.006) 27.01% decrease was observed in the absolute weight of the spleen.
A statistically significant (p=0.026) 19.49% decrease in the relative percent weight of the spleen was noted.
The thymus showed a statistically highly significant (p=0.008) 34.88% decrease in absolute weight, and a statistically significant (p=0.026) 27.57% decrease in relative percent weight.
A noticeable decrease was observed in both the absolute and relative weights of the ovary.

Stress Management in Ayurveda
Abstract:
Stress is the leading problem worldwide in the current era. According to Statista (a German online platform for data gathering and visualization), as of August 2024, 31% of adults surveyed worldwide thought stress was the biggest health problem in their country. A research study published in 2023 in BMC Medical Education states that approximately 284 million people worldwide suffer from an anxiety disorder.
Nowadays, everyone aspires to live a life filled with desires and ambitions. This increases workloads, targeted pressures, embarrassments, and more, eventually leading to stress, inferiority complexes, and depression. These may cause stress-related abnormalities like hypertension, irritable bowel syndrome, and behavioral disorders such as conduct disorder and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The human body is a psycho-somatic system and functions throughout life according to this mechanism. A stressed individual requires special care, as stress can harm both physical and mental health. A stressed person may cause harm to themselves as well as their family members, leading to marital issues, irritability, abusive behavior, and anxieties related to interpersonal, social, or behavioral events.
Ayurveda, the science of life, provides valuable tools for leading a healthy and prosperous life. In Ayurveda, the concepts of Dincharya (daily lifestyle), Ritucharya (seasonal lifestyle), and Sadachara (Sadvritta or ideal conduct) are highly effective in managing stress and related disorders. Ayurveda also emphasizes Satvavajaya Chikitsa (psychotherapy) for managing such patients.
Several herbal formulations are prescribed in Ayurveda for stress-related disorders. Procedures like Shirodhara are highly beneficial for stress relief. In addition, Marma therapy is gaining recognition as a powerful stress-relieving technique. It involves stimulating specific vital points (Marmas) to activate Pranic energy — offering healing without medicines.
Thus, stress management through Ayurveda, based on these approaches, will be discussed in detail during the Conference.

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF DIABETIC WOUND (MEDHUMEHAJANYA VRAN) : A CASE STUDY
—DR SHRUTI KOTKAR
ABSTRACT
Diabetes stands as one of the most prevalent diseases globally, and diabetic patients are at risk of developing foot ulcers as a vascular complication. These ulcers stem from diabetic neuropathy leading to ischemia , resulting in inflammation and ulceration. If left untreated, these ulcers can become infected, spreading to the underlying tissues thus causing gangrene which leads to amputation in most cases. In Ayurveda, such ulcers are termed as Madhumehajanya Vrana.
A 65-year-old male patient presented with a non-healing wound on the dorsal aspect of his right foot extending between 3rd and 4th toe till its base from 5 months, associated with foul-smelling pus discharge from 1 month. He had a known history of diabetes mellitus for 4 years. The ulcer measured 5cm x 3cm x 1cm. Local cleaning by Triphala Kwatha has shown Vrana Shodhan properties (wound cleansing helps remove debris) which augmented the healing process while Jatyadi Taila application enhanced Vrana Ropan (tissue regeneration and restoring the skin’s natural healing abilities). Internal Ayurveda medication like Arogyavardhini vati , Rasamanikya, gandhak rasayan , herbal medicines yog with pathya-apathya (prescribed diet and regimen) pacified vitiated doshas and enhanced tissue rejuvenation and repair by their pharmacological properties. The anti-inflammatory properties promote fresh blood supply and fosters wound healing by forming healthy granulation tissue. Complete wound healing was achieved in 4 months. Thus amputation was avoided.

Mind-Body Medicine: Integrating Ayurvedic Psychology in Mental Health Care
Abstract
Mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions are increasing worldwide, with current therapeutic models often emphasising pharmacological and cognitive interventions. Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine from India, offers a holistic approach to mental well-being that integrates the mind, body, and spirit.
This presentation explores the foundational principles of Ayurvedic psychology (Manas Shastra), its classification of mental states, the role of Doshas and Gunas in psychological balance, and its relevance in contemporary mind-body medicine. Through this integration, we propose a comprehensive mental health care framework that is personalised and preventive, supported by growing scientific and clinical interest.
