MESSAGE
DearSriDr. G. B. Patil
Pranams
How glad I am to know from your letter that the College institution is
celebrating, meaningfully, its Silver Jubilee existence. During the last two and a
half decades the college has imparted the age-old knowledge of Ayurved a to
thousands of students and trained them in the art of diagnosis and treatment of
diseases; moreover it has instilled in those young medicos the benevolent desire to
go to the corrunon people and serve them with loving kindness; in this way the
medical institution has served the Nation.
The past and. the present Holy pontiffs of Shri Shivanand Math whose
blessings have gone into the formation and development of the college, and all the
persons whose services and sacrifices have, meticulously, nourished the center to
its present growth, need to beremembered withthe sense of appreciation.
Yours is a good decision to bring about a cominemorative volume, 'Atharva' to
Honour the memory of the SILIVER-EVENT. I hope it contains very valuable
articles on Ayurved.
Good Wishes

25. From the desk of organising secretary
I have promised to keep miles to go before I sleep
(William Words Worth)
Its my proud privilege to be organizing secretary of an International
Ayurvedic conference and Ayur Expo ATHARVA 2006 held on the eve of
silver jubilee year celebration of our institution Shri D.G.M. Ayurvedic
Med ical College, Gadag.
Ayurveda, right from the ancient period, is the essence of India's indigenous and
traditional heritage and eternally vibrant innovations for modifications in to allied
systems. In the era of ANTIBIOTIC and LPG world atlatge, is looking at Ayurveda not
because that it has rich treatment for sufferings but for its vast, experienced, enriched
principles.In the new millennium, to face the challenges of globalization the age old
concept of Ayurveda requires modification and specification, grving scientific validation
to classical formulations in terms of safety and efficacy without deviating from the
fundamentals.
In pursuance of above these points, ATFIARVA 2006 is organised to reinforce the
purity and potency of Ayurveda which provides a platform and abridge academicians,
industrial persons for exchange and updating the current scientific informations wth
plenary sessions along with stalls where different dimensional things are exhibittd.To
refresh, culturalfestival is organised inthe evening.
The how of work constitutes techniques, it is know how, getting superior results, art of
utilizing the s€une resources, materials, man power, money, time and effort. More skillfully
is technique. What turns ordinary into extraordinary is the extrawe putinto it.
I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all the resource persons/
delegates, faculty members of our sister concern institutes, colleagues, chairmen and
members of different comrnittee, non teaching and hospital staff, PG and UG students,
advertisers, stallholders, press personnel and allthosewhohavehelpedmeinshouldering
the responsibility.
By above and all it is the blessings of His Holiness |agadguru Sri Abhinava
Shivananda Mahaswamiji, which encouraged me to carry out this responsibility sincerely.
"Manaswi karyartihi na ganayati dukha na cha sukham"
To succeed you must be easy to start and hard to stop.
May Lord Dhanwantari enshower with the success in your future endeavor.
With tender regards,

PRESENT SCENARIO IN THE EDUCATION
.:. As stated earlier, there are a large number of educational institutions. However intensive
training in Ayurveda, both theoretical and practical is being provided only in a f-ew institu-
tions.
t Number of qualified teachers in most of the institutions are minimal and do not even fulfill
the requirement of minimum standards.
* Many teachers though working on part time basis are shown as full timers. In some of the
institutions. they are only on rolls but physically present only when there are visitors from
C.C.I.M or UniversitY.
* Many others come only for one or two hours as per teaching schedule. They never utilize
library and do not participate in the departmental enlistment.
* Extra curricular activities in most of the institutions are negligible.
* In some of the institutions, even classes are not regularly conducted. Bogus attendance is
shown in attendance registers.
PRBSENT SCENARIO IN THB EDUCATION
* Many students are also not serious in teaching and training. Their objective is to obtain degree
by hook or crook.
* The attraction of degree of Ayurveda is to practice modern medicine
* After Supreme Court judgment and restrictions by many State Governments and also objection
made by Medical Council of India, Indian Medical Association, etc. practice of modern
medicine by Ayurvedic Graduates is becoming very difficult
* Hospitals attached to Ayurvedic Colleges, in most of the cases, is also without patient or have
only a few patients
* Dissection halls are without cadavers so there is no arrangement for teaching and practice of
Anatomy
* There are many such lacunae and I need not explain all those before you. Many teachers and
students present in the conference must be aware about many of these difficulties. We must
make proper efforts to strengthen Ayurvedic education
SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT IN AYI]RVEDIC EDUCATION
* The minimum standards should be maintained by all Ayurvedic Colleges without exceptions
* Teachers not only be regular but work hard for obtaining latest technical and scientific knowl-
edge of the subject concerned
* They also be in touch with scientists and counterparts in medical colleges to acquire up-to-
date knowledge
* Deep knowledge of Sanskrit and working knowledge of computers are absolutely necessary
, for every teacher of Ayurveda
* The teaching should be based on applied aspect so that it should be convincing to students
* In addition to Ayurvedic teaching, latest diagnostic methods should be taught to students and
equipments must be made available in the libraries

44. SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT IN AYURVEDIC EDUCATION
+ Bedside clinical training for clinical subjects is necessary so that students can gain practical
knowledge
* Knowledge of Ayurvedic medicine should be paramount. f{ow a medicine acts and u'hat are
the main ingredients of that medicine should be taught to the students
t In addition to attendance in class rooms, attendance in library and reading room should also
be observed
Teachers training program must be made compulsory for further promotion etc.
Consortium of subject teachers on regional basis is organized to learn from each other's
expenence
+ Teachers and students must understand that they are for Ayurveda and devote their for
upliftment of Ayurveda and also health and medicare through Ayurveda
RESBARCH IN AYURVEDA
* Coordination among institutions engaged in research is absolutely essential
* Research should be basically to fill up the gap of knowledge essentially needed for Ayurvedic
teachers and practitioners.
ltr Ayurvedic treatment even now is most effective in diseases, which occur due to functional
disorders in the body. These are basically due to Mithya Ahara and Vihara. Diabetes, Hyper-
tension, Gastro intestinal disorders, etc. are in this group. Ayurvedic physicians are in search
of Ayurveclic medicine, which will reduce Blood Glucose, level or increase of blood pressure
on time bound basis. These are available but need to be proved scientifically. Research
organizations must work on such projects on a priority basis.
* Big Pharmaceutical concerns of Ayurveda should also invent some medicines of such imme-
diate utility instead of maintaining their R & D only for namesake.
RESEARCH IN AYURVEDA
* The ready made answer to students and physicians about action of Ayurvedic drugs - horv and
why is the need of time
+ Golden triangle for Research in Ayurveda involving CSIR and ICMR with CCRAS is a
welcome step. However, objective should be very clear and results must be on a time bound
basis
* Results of Research so far conducted be published subject wise.
DRUGS AND MEDICINAL PLANTS
* Availability of genuine and effective Ayurvedic drugs must be ensured. Drug control or,sani-
zations should work effectively.
* The Propaganda of reaction of drugs of mineral and metallic origin be rebutted on scientific
lines. Nano technology is well known now worldwide. The Ayurvedic Pharmacy is mother of
Nano technology. This aspect must be forcefully spread.
* Medicinal plants, which are not available in required quantity, be cultivated on lar-se scale.
The farmers should be encouraged by paying them more than what they can get by farming
of cereals.

45. * Banning or licensing of use of drugs of Animal origin like Musk, Coral. Horn of deer, etc"
should be lifted for Ayurvedic drug purposes. Likewise availability of Opium, Cannabis, etc"
for Ayurvedic drug industry be liberalized.
* Export of Ayurvedic drugs be encouraged.
aa"a
Preparation of patent and proprietary Ayurvedic drugs by using total extract of drugs of
vegetable origin be encouraged.
* Many other aspects may also be important but only some pressing issues have been raised due
to paucity of time
+ I hope that these suggestions will be taken up seriously for future growth of Ayurveda

47. IMMUNITY PROMOTING EFFECTS OF RASAYANA AND
VAJIKARANA DRUGS
Prof. Gurdip Singh
Director PG Studies SDM College of Ayurveda, Hassan & Formerly Dean Gujarat Ayurveda University Jamnagar
Ayurveda does not merely believe in adding the number of years to life but it advocate to add life
to the each year. This may be one of the reasons that the first aim of Ayurveda is to preserve and promote
the healthy of healthy persons. To fulfill this aim Ayurveda maintains two separate branches viz.
Rasayana and Vajikarana since the time immemorial. Rasayana mainly deals with promotion of physical
and mental health and Vajikarana is for promotion of sexual health.
The properly and timely use of Rasayana drugs promote youthfulness, provides longevity, memon'.
intelligence, complexion, body glow and best physical strength as well as of senses (Charaka Chikitsa
uI).
All these actions of Rasayana indicate towards the fact that by undergoing the Rasayana therapv
one can live a long span of youth life, full of vigor and free from diseases as well as adverse effects of
aging. But such a span of life is possible only when one has a strong resistance and general immunitl'
against the diseases. Therefore,. it can be postulated that Rasayana drugs may have immunity improving
effect.
Now a day prevention of the diseases is achieved by immunization specifically against the each
F
, disease. But the number of the diseases is so much that practically it is not possible to immunize a person
against all the diseases. On the other hand the concept of Rasayana seems to increase the general
immunity so that one can live a long span of youthful life free from the diseases. It may provide an
umbrella against the diseases and aging by promoting the physical and mental health. All these points
generate an idea that Ayurveda believes in promoting the general immunity of a person so that he can
fight out any type of disease at its very onset.
The concept of Vyadhi Kshamatva is clearly available in Charaka Samhita, wherein it is mentioned
that the persons who are neither obese nor thin, who are having well functioning muscular, blood and
bone tissues; who are brought up on wholesome and nourishing diet, and who are psychologically strong
do not suffer from the diseases frequently and if suffer then they can tolerate it well because of having
good immunity (Vyadhi Kshamatva).
On the other hand the persons who are either obese or thin, who are not having well functioning
muscular, blood and bone tissues, who are brought up on unwholesome and un-nourishing diet, and who
are psychologically weak are unable to tolerate the diseases as well suffer from the diseases frequently.
It is due to diminished state of immunity (Vyadhi Kshamatva) in such persons (Charaka Samhita Sutra
28:7).
Chakrapani has further classified Vyadhi Kshamatva into two type viz. Vyadhi Bala Virodhani
(passive) and Vyadhi Utpada Pratbandhaka (active). In addition the concepts of three types of Bala viz"
1'l

48. l
Sahaja (natural), Kala (seasonal) and Yukti (acquired) and Pratyanika Bala (tissue resistance) are also
there.
It is obvious from the foregoing that of general immunity (Vyadhi Kshamatva) is present
a concept
in Ayurveda since the period of Charaka Samhita. For this purpose Rasayana drugs were particularly used.
Other measures used for increasing the Vyadhi Kshamatva were Vajikarana, seasonal administration of
Shodhana and practicing the rules of Dina-Charya, Sad-Vritta and Achara Rasayana.
To prove the hypothesis that Rasayana drugs may have immunity promotion effects, Singh, Gurdip
(1982) canied out an experimental study and showed that Vacha (Acorus columus), Shatavari (Asparagus
racemosus) and Mandukaparni (Hydrocotyle asiatica) significantly increase the serum humoral antibodies
in rabbits. Out of these three drugs the effect of Mandukapami (Hydrocotyle asiatica) was considered
better.
Encouraged from the results of the above mentioned experimental study, further studies were
undertaken on human beings to evaluate the immunity promotion effects of certain Rasayana drugs viz.
Mandukaparni (Hydrocotyle asiatica), Ashvagandha (Withania somnifera), Guduchi , (Tinospora
cordifolia), Amalaki (Embelica officinalis), Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), Varahikanda (Diascorea
bulbifera) and milk and Vajikaran drug- Kapikacchu (Mucuna pruriens).
Patients and Methods: The body maintains its immunity through immunoglobulins, which are
classified into five groups viz. IgA, IgG, IgM, IgE and IgD. Out of these IgE is related mainly with
allergic response and at the time of conducting this study the function of IgD was not known, Therefore
IgA, IgG and Igm were selected as parameters for this study. The main functions of these immunoglo-
bulins are as follow:IgA: Protects mucous membranes,IgG: Provides general immunity,IgM: It is a first
class immunoglobulin with 10 sites to destroy ten antigens at a time.
Measurement of Immunoglobulin: Immunoglobulins-IgA, IgG and Igm were measured by using
Tripartigen plates of Behringweke (Pfizer) before and after the treatment.The duration of treatment in all
the groups was one month. The other details are mentioned along with findings of each group of the
treatment.
Immunity Promoting Effects of Mandukaparni (Hydrocotyle asiatica) : Twelve aged patients
who were frequently suffering from seasonal diseases such as common-cold, phyringitis etc were included
in this group. These patients were administered Mandukaparni powder in the dose of 3 gm three times
a day with water for one month.The results of this study showed that Mandukaparni caused significant
increase in the serum IgA and IgM levels of the patients of this group.
Immunity Promoting Effects of Ashvagandha (Withania somnifera) : Twenty two patients of
allergic rhinitis and phyringitis were studied in this series. They were randomly divided into two groups.
The patients of first group were administered powder of Ashvagandha in the dose of 6 gm twice a day
with ghee for one month. The patients of control group were kept on placebo for one month.The results
of this study showed that Ashvagandha highly significantly (P<0.001) increased rhe serum IgA, IgM and
IgG in comparison to control group. It was also observed that the recurrence of these diseases was
prevented by the treatment ranging from six months to one year.
, Immunity Promoting Effects of Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) : A group of aged persons was
administered powder of Guduchi in the dose of 4 gm twice a day for one month. The results of this study
showed that Guduchi significantly (P<0.05) increased the serum IgA.
12

49. Immunty Promoting Effects of Amalaki (Emtrelica officinalis): The immunity promotion effect
of Amalaki was evaluated in both aged persons and young volunteers. The volunteers of both the groups
were administered powder of Guduchi in the dose of 4 gm twice a day with water for one month-The
results of these two studies showed that Amalaki significantly increases the serum IgA in aged persons
and it significantly increased serum IgM in healthy young volunteers.
Immunity Promoting Effects of Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) : The powder of Shatavari
was administered to a group of healthy volunteers in the dose of 4 gm twice a day with water for one
month.It has been shown in this study that Shatavari significantly increases (P<0.05) the serum IgA and
IgM levels.
Immunity Promoting Effects of Varahikanda (Diascorea bulbifera) : 11 aged persons were
treated with the powder of Varahikanda administered in the dose of 4 gm twice a day for one month.It
has been reported that Varahikanda significantly increases serum IgA and IgM levels.
Immunty Promoting Effects of Atibala (Abutilon indicum) : Atibala (Abutilon indicum) is a
Rasayana drug commonly used for Vata disorders. Its powder was administered in the dose of 6gm trvice
a day with ghee and hot milk to a group of aged persons. The duration of treatment was one month.The
results of this study showed Atibala does not cause significant increase in any of the immunoglobulin.
On the other hand it caused slight 4nd insignificant decrease in the serum IgG level
Immunty Promoting Effects of Milk : According to Ayurveda milk is Ajasrika Rasayana i.e. it
is to be taken daily in the diet to get continuous Rasayana effect. Therefore the immunity promotion effect
of milk was also studied. For this purpose the aged persons were given 400m1 of milk twice a day for
one month.The results of this study showed that rnilk significantly increases serum IgA, AgG and I-eM
of the aged persons of this series.
Immunty Promoting Efiects of Kapikacchu (Mucuna pruriens) : Kapikacchu is a well knorvn
Vajikarana drug. Its effect on the immunoglobulin was also studied. For this purpose a group of 11 aged
persons was treated with powder of seeds of Kapikacchu administered in the dose of 4 gm twice a da1'
with water for one month.It has been found that Kapikacchu significantly (P<0.05) increased the serum
IgM level.
Discussion : The body maintains its immunity through immunoglobulin, which are classified into
five groups viz.IgA, IgG, IgM, IgE and IgD. Out of these IgE is related mainly with allergic response
and at the time of conducting this study the function of IgD was not known, therefore IgA, IgG and Igm
were selected as parameters for this study. The main function of these immunoglobulins was as follorv:
IgA: Protects Mucous Membranes,IgG: General Immunity,IgM: First class immunoglobulin with
i0 sites
Immunoglobulin A: IgA is the primary immunoglobulin of all mucosal surfaces and exocrine
secretions. It is secreted in colostrum, saliva, tears, mucous membrane and other external secretions. It
forms the first line of humoral defense against infections of Respiratory and GI Tracts. It forms a
protective coating over mucous membranes and thus behaves as an antiseptic coat. IgA group of antibod-
ies also contain some types of antibacterial antibodies which gives immunity against diphtheria and
tetanus (exotoxin producing agents). It has been observed that the patients in deficient of IgA subject to
frequent pulmonary infections. Patients of Ataxia telangiectasia are also reported deficient in IgA IgA
does not pass through placental barrier and is not usually detectable at birth and human infant is capable
to synthesize it at 2 to 3 weeks of age.
13

50. Immunoglobulin G: IgG class of immunoglobulin contains most of the antibacterial and antiviral
protective antibodies which determine immunity against infection. It provides general immunity, but it is
a secondary or recall immune response. Its ability to diffuse into body tissues facilitate combination and
efficient elimination of antigenserum IgG crosses the placenta and at birth baby possesses high amount
of IgG. But infant produces it at about seven weeks of age.
Immunoglobulin M: IgM is having ten combining sites to destroy ten antigens at a time as well
as it activates compliment fixation system. IgM is the major part of the early/primary response, especially
in response to non-protein bacterial antigens. It readily fixes compliment, allowing for the efficient lysis
of antigen.As mentioned earlier Ashvagandha significantly increases IgA, IgM and IgG. Mandukaparni
significantly increases IgG and IgM. Varahikanda, Milk and Shatavari significantly increase Serum IgA
onA Igiut. Amalaki and Guduchi significantly increase the serum IgA. The implication of these findings
on each of the immunoglobulin is being discussed here under separate heading.
Effect of Rasayana Drugs on fmmunoglobulin A
Ashvagandha, Shatavari, Guduchi, Amalaki and Milk caused significant increase in the serum IgA
levels of the patients. As mentioned earlier IgA is secreted in colostrums, saliva, tears, respiratory tract
and intestinal mucosa. It forms a protective coating over mucous membrane and thus behaves as an
antiseptic coat. Hence these drugs may be very useful in prevention of diseases of Respiratory and GI
Tract. They may also be used as Naimittika Rasayana for the disorders of these systems.
Effect of Rasayana Drugs on Immunoglobulin M
Ashvagandha, Shatavari, Mandukaparni, Varahikanda, milk and Kapikacchu caused significant
increase in serum IgM levels of the patients of this series. IgM is having ten combining sites to destroy
ten antigens at a time as well as it activates compliment fixation system. Therefore these drugs may be
very useful as general immunity promotion drugs against the infections. If is further noticed that most of
Rasayana drugs caused increase in this immunoglobulin, which indicates the beneficial effect of these
drugs in improving the general immunity.
Effect of Rasayana Drugs on Immunoglobulin G
Ashvagandha and Mandukaparni increased the serum IgG. As this immunoglobulin crosses the
placenta, therefore these drugs may provide passive immunity to the child during the infancy period if
administered to the mother during pregnancy. However, before such use, it is desirable to evaluate the
safety profile of these drugs on the fetus. On the other hand the drugs like Atibala, Guduchi and
Kapikacchu caused slight and insignificant decrease in the serum IgG level, so such drugs may be avoided
during pregnancy. But these drugs may be useful in treating the auto-immune diseases due to the immuno-
suppressive action of these drugs.
Conclusion
On the basis of the results of this study it can be concluded that most of the Rasayana and
Vajikarana particularly. studied in this series has general immunity promotion effects. On the basis the
results of these studies it is recommended that further studies may be undertaken to evaluate their utility
in improving the general immunity against infectious diseases as well as against immunity deficiency
disorders including AIDS.

51. AYURVEDA VERSES TODAY'S LIFE THREATENING DISEASES
o Dr. Krishna U. K.
B.S.A.M., M.D.(Ay), Ph.D.(Japan) , Director, Nippon Ayurveda School. Japan
Introduction :
Ayurveda, the age old science of human living, aims at promoting health and managing ailments.
A normal life span with a natural death is considered to be the result of incorporating Ayurveda in daily
Iife. The interest in adopting the principles of Ayurveda is growing world wide.
Modern world with all its astonishing progress in science and technology is facing serious problems
in the field of medicine. Escalating health care costs and deteriorating quality of life is seen hand in hand
with economical and industrial growth. Heart diseases, Cancer, Cerebrovascular accidents are the main
killers, which make.nearly 70Vo of the causes of death in adult population in a modern society like Japan.
These ailments, once set in, have no satisfactory treatments, hence is the stress laid on preventing them.
Of course, there are several high-tech treatments offered to manage these diseases, all of which are
financially expensive and reduce the Quality of Life (Q.O.L.) of the sufferers to a miserable level.
What is a life threatening disease
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has
defined the term life-threatening disease as (1) diseases or conditions where the likelihood of death is high
unless the course of the disease is intemrpted and (2) diseases or conditions with potentially fatal out-
comes.
The seriousness of a disease is a matter of judgment, but generally is based on such factors as
survival, day-to-day functioning, and the likelihood that the disease, if left untreated, will progress from
a less severe condition to a more serious one. For example, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
(AIDS), all other stages of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, Alzheimer's disease, angina
pectoris, heart failure, cancer, and many other diseases are clearly serious in their full manifestations.
Furthermore, many chronic illnesses that are generally well managed by available therapy can have
serious outcomes. For example, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mel-
litus, systemic lupus erythematosus, depression, psychoses, and many other diseases can be serious in
some or all of their phases or for certain populations.
In short, life threatening diseases are chronic, usually incurable diseases, which have the effect of
considerably limiting a person's life expectancy. These include, but are not limited to cancer, diabetes,
neurological conditions, coronary heart diseases and HIV/Aids.
What Ayurveda says about life-threatening diseases
In the above definition it is clear that life-threatening disease is either a disease where death is
almost sure, like cancer or a disease which will lead to death if not managed properly. like diabetes.
According to Ayurveda the former is an incurable disease and the latter is a disease which gets converted
into an incurable one due to improper or inefficient management.
15

52. Ayurveda too, may not be able to cure these diseases and it is wrong to conceive that whatever is
incurable in modern medicine is cured in Complimentary Alternative Medicines (CAM).
Diseases are classified mainly as curable and incurable according to the tenets of Ayurveda. A
disease, where VATA, PITTA, KAPHA. all the three life energies are involved; if the ailment has spread
to all the three paths of disease; besides disease being chronic and the patient being weak, is considered
to be incurable. Thus, today's life threatening diseases many a times are incurable as per the views of
Ayurveda also.
Ayurveda versus life threatening diseases
As it is evident, today's life threatening diseases can only be prevented but can not be successfully
managed once they set in. The teachings of Ayurveda, if followed religiously, help anyone to improve
rhe status of health. That means the immunity is enhanced and a life of good quality is enjoyed.
The important life style guidelines based on the principles of Ayurveda are:
1. Regular in going to bed and rising in the morning.
2. Not suppressing the natural urges
3. Physical exercise performed with a pleasant disposition
4. Intake of food in moderate quantity
5. Food that is fresh and seasonal, devoid of harmful chemicals
6. Habitual consumption of rejuvenating herbs
7. Inclusion of wholesome food items in the daily menu
8. Positive emotions, breathing exercises and relaxation
Not only are these helpful to prevent the serious diseases, but also dependable to manage the
incurable diseases. Though few there are instances in which patients have cured incurable diseases by
themselves, with the help of radical changes in their life style and thinking

53. KERALEEYA CHIKITSA KRAMAM
Dr. M. R. VASUDEVAN NAMPOOTHIRI, Principal, Govt. Ayuneda College
Thiruvananthapuram, Dean, Faculty of Ayurveda, Kerala Univenitl.
The traditional physicians of Kerala developed some treatment procedures without deviating from
the basic principles of Ayurveda. These are mainly sweda karmas and Sneha karmas applied in different
ways and forms. Probably these were developed considering the factors like climate, nature of landscape,
body constitution and strength of people, regional availability of medicines etc
In general Chikitsa is classified as Santharpana and Apatharpana. This is a broad classification.
In Santharpana, we can incorporate Brumhana (Nourishing), Snehana (Oleating) and stambhana.
Langhana (Lightening), Rookshana (Drying) and Swedana (Sudation) can be enumerated under the head-
ing Apartarpana. Each one of the treatments termed under Shadupakrama has predominance of Gunas
in the following order.
Unakrama Guna
Brumhana Guru
Snehana Snigdha
Stambhana ,.Seetha
Langhana Laghu
Rookshana Rooksha
r
Swedana - Ushna
Subsequently, analyzing the general mahabhoota predominance in the two basic treatments, it is
vividly observed that Santarpana is prithwi and Jala predominant where as Apatharpana is Agni, Vayu
and Akasha Bhoota predominant.
On the other hand, it is worthwhile to make a gradation in the case of Apatharpana based on the
strength of doshas.
(ie) Langhana in Alpadosha
Langhana pachana in Madhya dosha
Doshavasechana in Prabhoota dosha
The two basic levels of Langhana are Samana and Sodhana. Sodhana implies Panchakarma *'hich
includes Vamana, Virechana, Asthapana, Anuvasana and Nasya. Among these, even though Anuvasana
appears as a brumhana therapy, it removes pakwashaya gatha pureesha and vata. Hence it is included
among Panchakarma.
While dealing with Karma, one point should be kept in mind. (i.e) the poorvakarma and Paschat
Karma differs based on the major karma or Pradhana Karma intended. For example when Panchakarma
is taken as pradhana karma, Snehana and Swedana are the poorva karmas and Peyadikrama is the paschat
karma. Similarly while considering Keraleeya Chikitsa which are mainly modified forms of sneha and
