Abstract:Herbal plants have long been used in traditional medicine to address and heal a wide range of health-related issues. Withania coagulans (Family; Solanaceae), a valuable medicinal plant used to evaluates bioactives by using maceration. Phytochemical analysis evaluated by qualitatively for five different extract. Methanol extract has highest phytocostitutents so further used for analysis phenolic compounds (86.67 ± 3.19 mg GAE/g) and flavonoids (60.95 ± 2.70 mg QE/g). The methanol extract demonstrated significant antioxidant activity in the DPPH and FRAP assay with IC50 value 63.02±1.08 μg/ml and 70.2±1.11 μg/ml respectively and notable antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, the methanol extract exhibited substantial anti-diabetic potential, with IC50 value 602.6±2.98 μg/ml. This study demonstrated that the methanolic extract of Withania coagulans is a potent natural antioxidant, which could be beneficial in slowing the progression of various oxidative stress-related conditions.

ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Indralupta is one among the shiro kapalagata roga. According to Acharya Vagbhatta, pitta along with vata invades the romakoopa causes hairfall. Vitiation of Sleshma along with shonita obstructs the channels of Romakoopa leading to the stoppage of regrowth of hair1. This condition is known as Indralupta. Indralupta can be correlated with Alopecia areata in which there is a sudden hairfall that strarts with one or more circular bald patches. In Ayurveda both shodhana and shamana treatments are prescribed for Indralupta. This is a case report of 25 year old male patient complaints of patchy hair loss and thinning of hair since 2 months.
Materials and Methods: The subject who approached Shalakya tantra opd of SDM Ayurveda hospital Udupi with symptoms of patchy hair loss and thinning of hair since 2 months was systematically reviewed and treatment modalities like pracchana and internally Arogyavardhini rasa, Tiktaka kashaya, Saptamruta loha and Bhargava prokta rasayana is advised.
Results: The subject showed marked improvement symptomatically.
Discussion: Ayurveda has great approach in curing the Indralupta. Nidana parivarjana, shamanoushadis and external applications are the main treatment modalities which can be concluded from this case report.

ABSTRACT:
African Animal Trypanosomiasis constitutes one of the greatest threats to the health of animals and socioeconomic status of people, particularly in developing countries. Chemotherapy, the main means of controlling the disease is limited due to parasite resistance and toxicity of the current anti-trypanosomal drugs. The development of a vaccine has been thwarted by antigenic variation of the parasite. Thus, plant extracts are one of the strategies being explored to address some of the problems encountered. The main objective of the current study was to investigate the toxicity and anti-trypanosomal activity of methanol and aqueous extracts of Acacia nilotica through in vivo assays against Trypanosoma brucei brucei. The chosen plants' healthy, fresh, matured leaves were air dried under shade, pulverized with mortar and pestle into powder, and passed through a 0.5mm mesh to standardize their particles. The plant samples were extracted using aqueous, methanol solvents. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis of the active chemical constituents of the extracts was conducted to determine saponins, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, steroids, and cardiac glycosides according to standard procedure. It was established that aqueous and methanol leaf extracts of the selected plants were safe in rats at dose levels of 1000, 3000, and 5000 mg/kg body weight for 72 hours. However, Sedation and abnormal movement were observed for both A. nilotica and Z. mucronata as manifestations of clinical toxicity at 5000mg/kg body weight. The fatal dose of all extracts exceeds the maximum dose of 5000mg/kg. Prolonged oral administration of the extracts for 21 days with A. nilotica extracts did not reveal major changes in body and organs weights, liver and kidney functions, the biochemical analysis showed a slight, non-significant increase in Alanine transaminase, Aspatate transaminase, and Alkaline phosphatase at (4000mg/kg) in rats, the average creatinine and urea levels were within the normal range, the relative organ weight and isolated organ are within the normal reference value. The photomicrographs of the liver and kidney sections showed mild histological changes. The in vivo assay showed the aqueous and methanol extracts from A. nilotica at 200mg/kg, 100mg/kg, and positive control (diminazine aceturate 3.5mg) reduced parasitaemia (p < 0.05), improved anaemia (p < 0.05), prevented body weight loss (p < 0.05) compared to the negative control. This study showed that the leaf of A. nilotica is safe and possess antitrypanosomal properties, suggesting that they may be a source of novel drugs for treatment of tropical diseases caused by trypanosomes.

ABSTRACT:In Ayurveda, the treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is approached through a holistic lens, where the focus lies not just on alleviating symptoms but also on restoring balance to the body’s intricate systems. Pashanabhedadi Kwatha, a revered polyherbal formulation, exemplifies this Ayurvedic approach by combining a unique blend of herbs (such as Pashanabheda, Yastimadhu, Vasa, Gokshura, Eranda, Aragwadha phala majja, Pippali, Ela, Shilajit, Souvarchala lavana, and Mishri), each chosen for its specific role in supporting kidney health, also known for their diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties. When combined, they work synergistically to enhance renal function, regulate fluid balance, and reduce inflammation, which are crucial factors in managing CKD. In Ayurveda, kidney dysfunction is often attributed to imbalances in the doshas, accumulation of ama and disturbances in agni and srotas. Pashanabhedadi Kwatha is formulated to address these imbalances, with its herbs targeting specific physiological processes that support renal and metabolic health. The present study aims to evaluate the effects of Pashanabhedadi Kwatha on CKD through the lens of Ayurvedic principles like Rasa Panchaka, and to explore its influence on doshic imbalances, ama, agni, srotas, and the specific phytochemical constituents responsible for its therapeutic benefits. By reviewing both classical and modern literature, this study seeks to shed light on the potential mechanisms behind its beneficial effects in CKD and offer insights into its clinical applications.

ABSTRACT: Kundur, the Indian olibanum tree, is a member of the Burseraceae family and grows best in the dry mountainous regions of the Middle East, Northern Africa, and India. This tree has small to huge branches. The tree's oleo-gum resin is removed and stored from the incision created in its trunk. Resin makes roughly 30–60% of oleo-gum resin, with organic solvent-soluble essential oils making up the remaining 5–10%. Gum-resin extracts from Boswellia serrata have long been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases. Four primary pentacyclic triterpenic acids found in the resinous component of Boswellia serrata are β-boswellic acid, acetyl-β-boswellic acid, 11-keto-β-boswellic acid, and acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid. This oleo-gum resin is quite popular among traditional practitioners of traditional Chinese and Indian Systems of medicine because of its wide range of useful biological properties such as anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, anti-rheumatic, anti-diarrheal, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-asthmatic, anti-cancer, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-complementary, and analgesic activity etc.
