EDITORIAL DESK:
A woman is a full circle, within her is the power to create, nurture and
transform. There is no limit, to what a woman can accomplish. Every woman’s success should be an inspiration to another and we want to share that inspiration with the whole world through our magazine. We are extremely thankful to all beautiful talented lady Ayurveda doctors for sharing their smiles in our cover page. This issue of our magazine we dedicated to women round the globe who are struggling, who are nurturing their babies, who are serving the nation as a soldier, as a teacher, as a doctor, as a sweeper, as a cook and what not more. Most importantly she makes up our life smoother as a housewife. The variant roles played by her to become a good friend, good wife, good mother, good daughter and daughter-in-law are incomparable. By making good enough in those roles, she knowingly forgets about herself. She forgets to live for her. So, for all those “HER”, we are dedicating this
issue of our magazine. We, The Ancient Ayurveda team want to say loudly to them that, it’s high time for you to take the responsibility of your health. Think about you. Make yourself to take care of your health through Ayurveda, through The Ancient Ayurveda magazine. As this is a woman’s special issue, we selected women authors from different specialties of Ayurveda to write about the major health issues of women. After all, a woman better knows another fellow woman. So, we invite you all to turn over the pages for your loving mom, daughter, friend, wife, sister, and for all the women whom you care about their health. - Rushi Dave Editor-in-Chief The Ancient Ayurveda Magazine

Tackling the Menstrual Disorders
TACKLING THE MENSTRUAL DISORDERS
-NEED OF THE HOUR
Lack of menstrual health is a major concern among women of reproductive age. In present-day clinical practice, it is very difficult to see a woman without any menstrual abnormality. Menstrual problems seem to affect both homemakers and working women alike adversely impacting their productivity daily. Most women seem to be unpredictable physically and emotionally around the time of menstruation. Hence, it is high time to get maximum awareness on such discomforts in a woman’s life in order to adopt the appropriate self-care practices and to approach the health care providers at the earliest if needed.
Menstrual cramps become a monthly unpleasant experience and a cause of anxiety over her major academic and other life events in case of dysmenorrheic women. Painful menses is very common among adolescent girls also. Family members like sisters and mother may present with similar complaints. Severe pain during menses is a characteristic feature in the conditions like endometriosis. Pain prior to the periods and throughout the bleeding is one of the worrying health issues among women of their 30s and 40s. Painful periods and abnormal uterine bleeding can be seen in adenomyosis.
Painful periods, excessive bleeding, irregular periods, and premenstrual syndrome are some of the most commonly seen menstrual health issues. Painful menstruation has been noted as the main reason for her inability to maintain attendance in academic and official commitments. Severe pain can incapacitate her in day-to-day activities. It badly affects her mood also. There is individual difference in pain perception. Low pain threshold can be a reason.
Erratic menstruation with oligo/anovulation is seen in PCOS. Delayed menses is one of the hallmark clinical features. Prolonged spotting or heavy and prolonged bleeding may be seen in PCOS women. It is often noted that low physical exercise and unhealthy diet practices contribute to the increasing prevalence of PCOS. Moreover, stress is the one of the prime factors in the manifestation of its clinical features and co-morbidities. Hence, lifestyle in-

Tackling the Menstrual Disorders terventions have a vital role in the management of PCOS. Among menstrual problems, heavy and/or prolonged bleeding is one of the urgent concerns. In puberty girls, prolonged menses is a cause of anxiety among parents too. PCOS, fibroids, many other uterine and systemic disorders can lead to excessive bleeding in the age groups of the 30s and 40s. Various menstrual disturbances are seen in thyroid disorders also. Another health issue deteriorating the well-being of women near to menstruation is premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Exaggerated physical and psychological disturbances like headaches, emotional outbursts are commonly seen in PMS. Several factors contribute to these disturbances in the menstrual cycle. Genetic predisposition, general health, food habits, physical exercise, psychological status and exposure to the various pollutants have a greater influence on the menstrual cycle. Overall lack of discipline around food intake is not uncommon now. Food intake without considering her time of appetite and type of food is a main reason behind the digestive issues. Moreover, late sleep, as well as late wakeups and irregular bowel habits, are common among teenagers and young women, especially in the present time. Increased access to junk foods is also a major reason. All these can have greater health consequences such as menstrual cycle irregularities. Mental soundness is also vital in the maintenance of menstrual health. But presently stress and anxiety are becoming epidemics all over the world. Stress can interfere the physiological processes and disturb the harmonious internal environment prevailing in the body. Another risk factor of various chronic diseases is the absence of regular physical activity. These factors are enough to pay way to several adverse health outcomes including menstrual abnormalities. All the above-said facts denote that lifestyle changes such as healthy eating habits and behaviours are necessary in the management of menstrual problems. Adequate fruits and vegetables should be included in the diet. Jeeraka, onion, curry leaves, ginger, natural powders like turmeric and coriander etc. can be
added in food recipes to facilitate smooth digestion. Regular and satisfactory bowel habits should be ensured. Holding the urge of urination and defecation should be avoided. These all are important in addressing the pain related with menses. Frequent dining out and usage of bakery products containing additives can be better avoided. Avoidance of pickles and other excessive spicy and sour food items is very crucial in the outcome of heavy periods management. Regular and adequate physical activity should be incorporated into the routine. It is better to reduce the screentime and frequency of snacks, especially in this pandemic scenario. Maintaining a healthy weight by sticking to healthy food habits and an adequate physical exercise program is very important in overall well-being. Meditation, breathing exercises, spending time with nature, family, and friends, reading books, talking with like-minded senior lady mentors, engaging in dancing and singing, playing badminton with family and friends and many such engagements will help to get rid of stress. When the menstrual issues start troubling daily life, it is better to consult a doctor with regular follow-ups. Ayurveda is very beneficial in the effective management of menstrual abnormalities. Individualised management in Ayurveda considering the specific contributing factors of the menstrual problem in every woman will help to improve the quality of life. Appropriate internal medicines and procedures like basti, virechana etc. will aid in better outcomes. It should be kept in mind that self-care is always important to attain wellbeing so that even the minute disturbance can be well-addressed at the earliest. It is very important that lifestyle modification is the essential strategy to get long-term results.

Impact of Junk Food & Women Health
THE HIDDEN IMPACT OF JUNK FOOD AND WOMEN HEALTH Junk food refers to fast food, which is easy to prepare and consume having low nutritional value. The term ‘Junk food’ was coined by Michael Jacobson, director of Center for Science in 1972 who wanted to raise public attention about the issue of foods with a high caloric value refined sugar, white flour, trans fat, polyunsaturated fat, salt and numerous food additives such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) and tartrazine, and these foods lacks in protein, vitamin and Fiber. Junk foods are popular because they are easy to prepare and are very tasty such as potato wafers which do not even need cooking or heating. They are served at their doorstep as hot and ready to eat. Secondly considering the taste factor, Junk foods

get their taste owing to lavish usage of oils, salts, and sugar. Thirdly Junk food has a long shelf life and may not require Refrigeration. HARMFUL EFFECTS OF JUNK FOOD • Obesity is a global issue. It is reaching epidemic proportions in developed nations and now be considered as a chronic disease. Obesity is a multifactorial disorder of energy balance in which chronic calorie intake is greater than energy output. It is characterized by an excessive body mass index (BMI). A subject with a BMI of 20-25 is considered as having a healthy body weight, one with a BMI as 25-30 overweight and one with a

BMI> 30 as obese. The main treatment of obesity is a suitable diet and Exercise. Over 90% cases of Type II diabetes are caused due to junk food consumption. Obese people have an increased risk of colon, breast, gallbladder, ovarian, skin cancer and uterine cancer. The abundance of salt in junk foods can result in hypertension, which raises the blood pressure if hypertension is not effectively treated; it results in a greatly increased probability of coronary thrombosis. Junk food diet is a major cause for heart disease, myocardial infarction, and severe heart failure due to plaque formation in arteries. Dental cavities formed due to the excess consumption of junk foods as food gets accumulated on teeth spaces and plaque formation. It can also cause kidney impairment like polyuria, renal failure and hyperuricemia. Balance and lack of concentration, hypersensitivity disorder can also occur due to use of the junk food. Hypoxia occurs due to accumulation of the fat in the arteries. chronic pulmonary obstructive disorder (asthma) occurs due to artificial flavoring and coloring agents which are present abundantly in junk food.
Early menarche and associated risks in adolescence is the transitional phase between childhood and development and is characterized by immense hormonal changes. The most striking change in adolescent girls is menarche. It signals the beginning of a woman’s reproductive life and is determined by environmental and genetic factors. Alterations in lifestyle and diet increase the prevalence of obesity in the developed world, which results in decreased age at menarche. Early menarche has several negative consequences on adult health. Women with early menarche have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and metabolic syndrome including obesity and type 2 diabetes. It also increases the risk of psychosocial distress such as depression, eating disorders, early initiation of sexual activity, and substance abuse.
Early menarche is also a risk factor for asthma in adulthood. After menarche, girls may encounter some menstrual abnormalities such as dysmenorrhea, irregularities in menstrual flow, and premenstrual symptoms. About 75% of girls experience some problems associated with menstruation, which may affect academic excellence, achievements in sports, as well as loss of self-image. Menstrual disorder at the age of 16 years is also a reliable marker of hyperandrogenemia and adverse lipid profile in later life. THE KEY TO A HEALTHY DIET To avoid the negative health risks, your diet needs to be nutritional and diverse. Small changes to your diet can make an immense difference to your health. It’s easier than you think, especially if you follow at least 5 of the eight goals outlined below.

Make half your plate fruits and vegetables: The more colorful your plate, the more likely you are to get the vitamins, minerals, and fiber your body needs, so be sure to choose a variety of red, orange, and green vegetables (such as tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli). Make half your plate with whole grains: Try to eat whole grain foods such as whole-wheat bread, brown rice, bulgur, buckwheat, oatmeal, rolled oats, quinoa, or wild rice etc. Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk: Fat free and low-fat milk contains the same amount of calcium and other nutrients as whole milk but contains fewer calories and less saturated fat.

meats (meat with lower fat content) are far better than meat with large amounts of fat content. Select leaner cuts of beef, turkey breast of chicken breast etc. Compare sodium in foods: Use the nutritional facts included in the labels on food packaging to select foods containing low levels of sodium. Choose canned foods with labels stating low sodium, reduced sodium or no salt added. Drink water instead of sugary drinks: By drinking water or unsweetened, you can cut your calories substantially. Sodas and energy drinks are high in added sugar and calories, so be sure to avoid these. If you seek added flavor, try adding a slice of lemon or watermelon to your glass of water.

In addition, low levels of micro nutrients such as calcium and magnesium can cause osteoporosis, and high trans-fat content predisposes children to develop heart diseases in future. What you eat and drink each day affects your health and wellbeing, both physically and mentally. Good nutrition along with regular exercise will help you maintain a healthy weight. Food plays a decisive role in development, sustenance, reproduction and termination of life. Through centuries food has been recognized as an important factor for human beings, in health and diseased state. In today’s lifestyle fast-food and junk foods are very popular.

Post Pregnancy
Pregnancy and childbirth can be seen as positive signs of womanhood. In Ayurvedic practices, it’s viewed as a time when women can nurture themselves within the context of nature. Pregnancy causes changes in the body, from weight gain to shifts in the levels of sex hormones, which can create imbalances and increase stress levels. Like the nine months spent safely in utero, the postpartum period can be equally as safe and beneficial for mothers and their newborns. Although many women do receive quality postpartum care immediately after birth and some do not, it is important to know that this time period is a crucial opportunity to receive quality, holistic care that not only supports physical healing and bonding with the baby but can also help prepare one’s own body to begin menstruating again. After 9 months of pregnancy, a new mother often feels like she hasn’t had enough rest. Time alone to recover is a vital component of the postnatal phase, especially in the first few weeks after giving birth
when everything has settled down. The demand on her body has decreased significantly, but she still needs to get plenty of rest and relaxation. But all too often new mothers are misunderstood, and they feel that no one understands how tired they are. They need to hear the things you say more than ever before: "It's OK; you already did so much growing someone else inside your body." While many people understand the powerful bond that exists between a mother and child, there are very few who are aware of the amount of care necessary after birth. As per modern medical science, the puerperium i.e. post-natal period begins as soon as the placenta is expelled and lasts for approximately 6 weeks when the uterus becomes regressed almost to the non-pregnant size. In puerperium, any complications can occur as it's said in Ayurveda about 80 types of diseases can happen in this period if not managed. Having a baby is one of the most exciting things that can happen to you and your partner. Even though The Ancient Ayurveda | Jan-Feb 2022 | Issue 11

Post Pregnancy you haven’t taken guidance from a Garbhasanskar Expert for the process of family planning to pregnancy care firsthand, I would like to remind you about the importance of being informed and knowing what it takes to make a healthy and happy baby’s mother! Postpartum is known as a time of adjustment both mentally and physically; every woman feels like she has been hit by an immense force coming at her from all angles. It's manageable; but only if you know ahead of time what you're in store for! Like any natural process, the act of giving birth involves a period of healing. The postpartum period begins with your baby's birth and ends when your body has done nearly all its physical healing work. During this time, you don't have to feel bad about feeling tired, having high levels of pain or having a difficult time concentrating. What you're going through is completely normal. This period is often about six to eight weeks long but its variable depending on the individual experience. As the mother to be, there are many changes that take place for you physically as well as emotionally during this time. You have learned so much in preparation for becoming a new mother but there's still so much to learn including caring for yourself! Pregnancy in Ayurveda is known as Sutika Paricharya, or “Post-Pregnancy Management”, and it primarily means careful and delicate pampering for the mother after her delivery. Like the care taken by a chef before preparing a meal for their beloved family and friends, the amount of care taken by the Ayurvedic Garbhasanskar doctor to properly examine a person's body & mind, to prepare them so they can be healthy. According to the Ayurvedic perspective, Sutika Paricharya refers to antenatal care with the recommendation of Aahara (specific dietary regimen), Vihara (normal daily activities and therapeutic procedure) & modified psychological behaviour. As a result of a Vata imbalance occurring post-delivery, the digestive strength, as well as immunity and energy levels were seen as being depleted, therefore requiring vital reductions in stress for preservation and restoration.
24 | Issue 11 | Jan-Feb 2022 | The Ancient Ayurveda
Post Pregnancy Sutika Paricharya is the care of the mother during her puerperium. It is based on the following principles: 1. Balancing vitiated Vata 2. Kindling the digestive fire strength 3. Improving digestion 4. Enhancing blood formation 5. Improving lactation 6. Treating Yoni or vaginal health restoration 7. Uterine cleansing 8. Full body rejuvenation The initial period following childbirth, known as the postnatal period, gets its name from being considered the time during which it is optimal to help newborns and their mothers. During this stage of development, women’s digestion, immunity, and strength will be weak because Vata has been accumulated due to delivery. The mother is in a compromised state and care must be taken so as not to cause any imbalance. Careful management ensures that the woman’s body remains strong enough which can make her a full recovery from pregnancy and childbirth. Women who become pregnant can employ Ayurvedic principles to assist them throughout their pregnancy and aid in the recovery of their body after their baby is delivered. Pregnancy and childbirth, according to Ayurveda, may be a restorative event that is positive. Here are the Ayurvedic principles mentioned in our classics to aid in the recovery and pampering of the newbie mother after the baby is delivered. 1. In the first few weeks, you should delegate all chores other than feeding your infant and caring for yourself to someone else. 2. If you are nursing, you should drink extra fluids in addition to eating a well-balanced diet. 3. Drugs such as Piper longum, Piper longum's root, Pipe retrofractum, Plumbago zeylanica, Zingiber officinale should be made into powder and mixed with a liquid gruel should be consumed as per the guidance of the Ayurvedic Garbhasanskar expert. 4. To soothe Vata, do Abhyanga with Bala (Sida cordifolia) taila followed by Udar veshtana (Abdomen is tightly wrapped with long cotton cloth
after bath to help the uterus to shrink back to its normal size.) using a large clean towel. Irrigation or a mild water bath. Yoni is gently massaged together with the body. 5. Jangal mamsa rasa or bone broth infused with Vulgaris sativus, Ziziphus mauritiana, and Dolichos biflorus with cooked Shali rice can be started from the seventh or eighth day of delivery till sutikakala or purpurial period. 6. Filling the vaginal cavity with oil and massaging it, followed by sudation with hot water, should be done under the supervision of a professional. The one area of recovery that all women seem to struggle with? Post-pregnant mental health. The postpartum period can be challenging due to a variety of contributing factors as described in the content above. For example, outside of Western cultures, reports on maternal mental health vary greatly because although many clinicians utilize similar clinical criteria when defining a case of depression or anxiety, there are cultural norms and values that inhibit a woman from self-identifying as such. Care of the Newbie Mommy from an Ayurvedic point of view, notes that the careful and healthy diet, monitoring of activities including meditation & yoga and therapeutic procedures undertaken, need to be modified according to each woman's unique needs and mental state throughout the pregnancy. At times we can put all we know into this process but at times it just needs to be done a certain way because we have all sorts of factors coming into play as well wherever possible as recommended by nature herself!

Post Menopausal Osteoporosis
A REVIEW STUDY ROLE OF AYURVEDA IN TREATING POST MENOPAUSAL OSTEOPOROSIS Postmenopausal osteoporosis is morbidity found in peri and post-menopausal women. The term Menopause is made up of two words “Meno” and “Pause”. Meno refers to Menstruation (month) and Pause denotes, to stop, cessation. Therefore, menopause refers to “permanent cessation of menstruation”. This results from loss of ovarian follicular activity. Natural Menopause is recognized to have occurred after 12 consecutive months of amenorrhoea, for which there is no other obvious pathological or physiological cause. An adequate biological marker for the event does not exist. The term Peri-Menopause is the period surrounding Menopause – before, during and after. The length of this period varies, but it is usually considered to last approximately 7 Yrs., beginning with the decline in
30 | Issue 11 | Jan-Feb 2022 | The Ancient Ayurveda
ovarian function in a woman’s 40s and continuing until she has not had a menstrual period for 1 year. Age at Menopause: In India age varies between 45-50 yrs. average being 47yrs. It is generally not common for a woman to menstruate after 50 yrs. Delayed Menopause may be related to good nutrition and sound health. 1% of women have Menopause before 40 Yrs. Following Menopause, due to deficiency of estrogen, there is loss of bone mass by 3-5% per year. As a result, arthritic changes often develop in the joints and in some women well-marked osteoporosis may be seen, particularly in the spine and pelvic girdle, which renders these bones liable to fracture.
Post Menopausal Osteoporosis By definition, osteoporosis is the reduction in the quantity of bone. According to W.H.O. osteoporosis is defined based on the following bone density levels: • BMD is compared to two norms – healthy young adults (T-score) and age-matched (Z-Z score). A T-score within 1 SD (+1 or -1) of the young adult mean indicates normal bone density. • A T-score of 1 to 2.5 SD below the young adult mean (-1 to -2.5) indicates low bone mass. • A T-score of 2.5 SD or more below the young adult mean (> -2.5 SD) indicates the presence of osteoporosis. Estrogen deficiency is a dominant pathogenic factor in bone loss. This can be noted for the first time during perimenopause. From 1.5 years before menopause to 1.5 years after menopause, spine bone mineral density (BMD) decreases by 2.5% per year, compared with a premenopausal loss rate of 0.13% per year. In Ayurveda, Rajonivritti as a diseased condition is not described separately, though Rajonivritti Kala is mentioned by almost all Acharyas without any controversy. Here the word Rajonivritti means the end of Artava pravritti or cessation of menstruation. Rajonivritti is mainly a stage of Jaravastha. Acharya Sushruta and the other Acharyas mentioned 50 years as the age of rajonivritti, when the body is fully in grip of senility but Acharya Arundatta opines that the age mentioned above is a probable age and not a fixed one. Hence considering the variations, factors influencing it can be logically quoted as either environmental or the individuality of a woman including their Ahara- Vihara. During aging gradually Kshaya of all dhatus occurs due to dominant Vata Dosha. Acharya Charaka admitted the occurrence of Jaravastha (aging) from the age of sixty while susruta considered it at the age of forty. This event can be considered under Kala and Svabhaava. But when its onset occurs unduly it concludes as a disease. Vata vriddhi in this phase results in a much decrease of Asthi Dhatu. The possible etiopathogenesis of Rajonivritti-janya Asthi- Kshaya can be discussed as under:
Reasons of Asthi- Kshaya:1. Sahaja Nidana: Abnormal or weak Beeja, Beejabhaga, Beejabhagavayava related to the formation of Asthi Dhatu if passed on to the Garbha at the time of conception may lead to weak and disease-prone Asthi Dhatu in the progeny. During the development of the fetus among the six Bhava, Pitrija Bhava is responsible for the formation of Asthi Dhatu. Therefore, Pitrija Bhava Dushti can be a cause of improper Asthi Dhatu Nirmana. Vata Dosha causes Asthi- Kshaya, women with Vata dominant Prakriti are prone to develop the disease. Ahara which aggravates Vata, lack of food intake or production of Ama in the body due to unwholesome or irregular dietary habits can be responsible for Asthi-Kshaya. Similarly, Vihara like Ati-karshana (Excessive dieting) of the body due to various reasons, Avyavama (without exercise), Divasvapna, wrong postures, Chinta, Shoka etc. aggravate Vata which leads to the imbalance of Asthi Dhatu proportion in the body. 2. Svabhavaja Nidana: Postmenopausal osteoporosis is peculiar in women. This is due to women having genetically lower bone mass than men. In Ayurvedic texts, these are considered under Streekara Bhava. 3. Jara: During Jaravastha, aggravation of Vata and Dhatu Kshaya are natural events so the degeneration in bones also occurs. Lakshana of Asthi- Kshaya – Falling of hair, nails and teeth, fatigue and looseness of joints are the signs and symptoms found in AsthiKshaya. Pathogenesis of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis: • Rajonivritti-Janya Asthi- Kshaya is a disease concerned to Jaravastha and Asthi Dhatu hence Vata Dosha is a primary cause for its occurrence. Simultaneously Kshaya of Kapha occurs along with it. So, the symptoms related to Vata Prakopa and Kapha Kshaya bring out like Pain, dryness, weakness etc. • This disease is related to Asthi and its Mala - Nakha and Kesha. Among them, Asthi is the main place affected by it. The Ancient Ayurveda | Jan-Feb 2022 | Issue 11

Post Menopausal Osteoporosis • •
In Jaravastha, due to vitiation of Jatharagni formation of Dhatu does not occur because Jatharagni affects both Dhatvagni and Bhutagni. Initially, the disease involves Bahya Roga Marga but later on, due to the severity of it, Madhyama Roga Marga like Asthi Sandhi also become involved.
Prognosis As the disease is affecting majorly in asthi (bone) and due to aging, the disease is considered as yapya (difficult to cure). So preventive management is better for it. Management: The treatment of Asthikshaya includes Nidana Parivarjana (Avoidance of etiological factors), Shodhana (Bio purification), Shamana (Palliative treatment), Rasayana (Rejuvenation) and Pathyapathya (Proper diet). 1. Nidana Parivarjana (Avoidance of etiological factors): The individual suffering from Asthi Kshaya must avoid excessive indulgence in etiological factors responsible for vitiation of Vata, a decrease of Kapha like excessive exercises, unwholesome diets including dry, spicy food intake etc. 2. Shodhana Chikitsa (Biopurification): It is indicated in Bahudoshaavastha. Vaghbhatta had mentioned this in Asthikshayachikitsa. Acharya Charak has given a similar line of treatment for Asthi Pradoshaja Vikara which includes Panchakarma, especially Basti which contains Kshira, Ghrita and Tikta Dravya. 3. Shamana Chikitsa (Palliative Treatment): The main aim of Ayurvedic therapy in Asthigatvata includes Vatashamak, Tarpak (nourishing) and Brimhan treatment. The Dravya which are of Swayoni i.e., similar to the respective dhatu is to be used for the treatment of the respective dhatu Kshaya. Here, in Asthi Kshaya, Dravya similar to Asthi dhatu should be used. The use of Taruna Asthi (mild bones of fish) increases the Asthi dhatu. The use of Asthi in its transformations i.e. Bhasma (ash) will also increase Asthi dhatu. Keeping this principle in mind many prepara-

tions are used in Ayurveda. Preparations like Ajasthi Bhasma, Kurma Prishthasthi Bhasma, Kaparda Bhasma, Praval Bhasma, Mrigashringa Asthi Bhasma, Asthi Bhasma of other animals etc. 4. Rasayana: Rasayana is a boon for menopausal women and proves very good effects on females in the menopausal period. Rasayan drugs like Shatavari, Vidari, and Kumari reduce fatigue and vaginal dryness. For psychological symptoms, like irritability, anxiety, or depression, there are very effective drugs like Brahmi, Jyotishmati, Shankhapushpi can be given. Osteoporosis is the disease of Jaravastha. Jara is classified under Svabhavaja Vyadhi which becomes Yapya by Rasayana treatment. Some commonly used Rasayan drugs are Dwitiya Brahma Rasayana, Tritiya Triphala Rasayana, Chathurtha Triphala Rasayana, Chyavanaprasha Rasayana, Shatavari Rasayana, Shilajatu Rasayana etc. Role of Basti- in Ayurveda Basti treatment is considered as a prime treatment modality. Lipid soluble drugs are absorbed by passive diffusion and some of the active ingredients are absorbed through active transport. The bioavailability of the drugs is higher when given as Basti. Modern medical science also suggests some of the nutrient enemas meant for the nutrition of the body, where absorption of carbohydrate, fat and protein is mentioned. Some popular oil preparations can be effective which are Kshirabala Taila, Chandanabala Lakshadi Taila, Dhanvantara Taila, Balaguduchyadi Taila, Balashwagandhadi Taila, Lakshadi Taila, Mahalakshadi Taila etc.

THE FEMININE HERBS
Exploring Mother Nature
Women's health and diseases differ from those of men, due to their unique biological, social, and behavioural conditions. Starting from menarche up to menopause, a woman undergoes various physiological and psychological changes throughout her life. Menarche is considered as the central event of female puberty as it signals the possibility of having offspring whereas menopause marks the end of fertility. In between these two events, a woman experiences the most beautiful phase of her life, her reproductive period. It is really important to take care of her health during each phase and both ahara (diet) and oushada (medicine) play a major role in maintaining her health. Ayurveda, the eternal science, points out some important medicinal herbs that may help a woman to maintain her physical, mental, and hormonal health throughout her life. Our Acharyas have classified the lifespan of a human into three stages. They are Baalyam (Childhood + Adolescent), Youvanam (Middle age) and Jara/Vrdhha (Old age). During each stage the dosha predominance is varied and the
selection of dravya (both ahara and oushadha) also varies accordingly. The article explains about such dravyas and its details.
“Adolescence is just one big walking pimple” The word adolescence came from the Latin word adolescere means to mature. This is a transitional stage of physical and psychological developments and considered as the meeting point of childhood and adulthood. During this period, the kapha dosha will be predominant along with pitta. Former will help to maintain dhathu sthiratha (development and nourishment) and later will manage the psychological and hormonal balance. USEFUL HERBS IN ADOLESCENCE 1. Tilam Sesamum indicum Linn Pedaliaceae Sesame seed is the oldest oilseed crop known to humanity. It is a rich source of Vitamin A, B, and E. It The Ancient Ayurveda | Jan-Feb 2022 | Issue 11
| 33
Exploring Mother Nature also contains calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc. Madhura rasa and vipaka along with ushna veerya and snigdha guna, tila will help to maintain the dhathu excellence and proper nourishment to the body. • Sesame balls can be used as evening snacks. • Drinking sesame oil every day as a routine will nourish skin, hair, and bone. It is indicated especially during the menstrual period to relieve the abdominal cramps. Please take care to preheat the sesame seeds before internal use because the anti-nutrient component like phytic acid will become inactivated and thus the easy absorption of minerals will take place. 2. Amalaki Phyllanthus emblica Linn Euphorbiaceae The word Amalaki in Sanskrit implies, the one which promotes the body. It is also known as Amritha phala, the fruit with rejuvenating action. The biomolecules include emblicannin-A&B, gallic acid, ellagic acid etc. Amla pradhaana lavana varjitha pancha rasa of Amalaki will nourish the body, laghu-sara guna will support the easy digestion and gut health, seetha virya will calm the mind and madhura vipaka eventually does the rasayana action. Amalaki can be included both as an ahara dravya and oushada. “Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay” Middle age is the period of age beyond young adulthood but before the onset of old age. This phase of life is marked by gradual physical, cognitive, and social changes in the individual as they age. Pitta dosha will be predominant along with the vata association. HERBS IN MIDDLE AGE 1. Sathavari Asparagus racemosus Willd Asparagaceae
34 | Issue 11 | Jan-Feb 2022 | The Ancient Ayurveda
Shatavari is a well-known rejuvenating herb indicated exclusively for women's health in Ayurvedic classics which supports general health and vitality. Several medicinal preparations indicated in various gynecological disorders are available using shatavari as a major ingredient. Madhura in rasa, seetha in veerya and rasayana in karma, Shatavari helps to calm the mind and rejuvenate the body. Recent researches had shown its action as a good phytoestrogen and saponins are considered as the major biomolecule which imparts the pharmacological effects. 2. Jeeraka Cuminum cyminum Linn Apiaceae Jeeraka is considered as a uterine tonic. Throughout the classics, it has been recorded as a garbhashaya shodaka dravya. Along with this property, it has shown karma like Medhya, Sangrahi, Deepana, Vrishya etc. Considering the disease prevalence in a middle-aged woman, including jeeraka in the diet as well as a rasayana will definitely be beneficial to maintain the uterine health and hormonal balance. “One advantage to being 102, there is no peer pressure” Old age refers to ages nearing or surpassing the life expectancy of human beings and is thus the end of the human life cycle. There will be marked degenerations in the body and the basic mark of old age that affects both body and mind is "slowness of behavior". Especially in females when menopausal phase arrives, they experience functional deterioration of hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis resulting in hormonal imbalance, and a variety of symptoms known as menopausal discomforts which impact their quality of life. Falling estrogen levels and hormonal imbalance have been primarily identified as the reason for menopausal discomforts. These physiological and hormonal changes affect the quality of life, even with a devastating impact on their mental health. Vata is the predominant dosha and its derangements will cause diseases and weakness.
Exploring Mother Nature HERBS IN OLD AGE 1. Bala Sida cordifolia Linn Malvaceae Bala is nothing which imparts bala to both mind and body. An excellent herb of choice for old aged people both as a shamana dravya and rasayana dravya. Vata vyadhi management is incomplete without the apt usuage of Bala. The active constituents are ephedrine, choline, vasiscinone, vasicine etc. The herb is vatahara in action due to its madhura rasa, snigdha guna and madhura vipaka. Other karma exhibited by the herb is balya, grahi, vrishya, ojo vardhaka, ayu vardhaka, brhmana, sothahara, rasayana and hrdya. 2. Methika Trigonella foenum-graecum L Fabaceae Medhika is an important herb that has action in the female reproductive system especially during the menopausal stage. It is documented as an ingredient of many formulations used in Yoni roga. The herb is vatakaphahara in nature, laghu-snigdha guna and ushna veerya supports the digestive system and maintains the normal basal metabolic rate. It helps in maintaining health in somatic, psychological, and urogenital systems. The major chemical constituents include protodioscin, dietary fiber, trignelline etc.
Common herbs that can be used in the women health problems • Haridra, Curcuma longa Linn- Varnya, Twachya(good for skin), Vishaghna • Saariva, Hemidesmus indicus R.Br – Tridoshanashaka, Raktapradara nashaka(menorrhagia related problems) • Sunishannaka- Marsilea quadrifolia – Tridosha shamaka, Raktha pradara naashaka, Pathya • Asthisamharaka – Cissus quadrangularis – Useful in bone degenerative conditions • Canthium coromandelicum- Known as Kaara in Malayalam, useful as a leafy vegetable for dhathu pushti • Azima tetracantha – Yashangu in Malayalamused as a leafy vegetable • Thaala sarkara- most indicated source of sarkara in case of female disease management.

Ayurveda Novel series - 3rd Episode
Finding The Little Lights of Life (Episode-III)
No matter how weak you are at the moment, if your loved one sits before you despairingly, trying hard to pull on some courage, but stumbling over and over again in the trial, God knows from where on earth you suddenly start feeling strong and mighteous. Maybe it’s the feeling of responsibility, to keep your dear one comfortable, that grabs the credit. Especially when you are known among your peer to possess a lion’s heart, you will stand taller before your loved ones, guarding them against the stress-inducing stuff, ready to defend, like a ninja warrior. That’s human psychology. Rehan was kind of baffled now. He was speaking too much, and his mannerisms conveyed the concentration of adrenaline gushing through his veins. He said, almost stammering, “Come on bro! it’s just a rash. Some good bio cream itself may solve this thing. Still, if you want expert advice, it’s not a big deal; we can always consult a dermatologist. Don’t tell me that, you are taken aback by this. Look what you have done to yourself.” Saarang walked to that wooden cupboard again, he opened it and bowed deep into the wardrobe, as if
there was a secret chest deep inside it. Then slowly rose, like he had dug out something from it. He turned around and walked back to Rehan with a white paper envelope. “I had kept it inside the secret rack”, he said. Rehan’s eyes followed Saarang to and fro, curios and somewhat disturbed, sporting a wrinkled forehead. “Now, what is that?” Rehan enquired while taking it from Saarang’s hands. Rehan opened the envelope and took out a white A4 sheet of paper that seemed to be a medical report, which it was. Saarang observed Rehan’s eyes scanning side to side, down the sheet of paper. He interrupted, “read the second last line in bold letters.” Rehan spelled it out, “p-l-a-q-u-e p-so-r-i-a-s-i-s”. Saarang spoke again “It’s pronounced as ‘plaak soh.rai.uh.suhs’, it’s a kind of non-infectious skin disease, where your own body cells start working against you, with not so clear causative factors and no complete cure.” Saarang uttered in a single go. Rehan sat unmoved on the couch, his gaze fixed on Saarang, but his thoughts wandering somewhere in the hollow space, that had engulfed him, after beThe Ancient Ayurveda | Jan-Feb 2022 | Issue 11

Ayurveda Novel series - 3rd Episode ing stacked with loads of medical information by his champ. Breaking the silence and the monotonous vibe of the room, from downstairs came the call of Saarang’s mother, the call for dinner. Emerging out of his thoughts and regaining himself, Rehan looked at Saarang inquisitively. “Mom is calling, let’s go downstairs and have something... and er… Rehan, don’t let them smell this by any chance.” Saarang told. Rehan nodded in agreement. He said, “Bro, it was all Wikipedia information, right?” Saarang agreed by nodding his head, “Ya! almost.” Stopping their talks there, Rehan got up from the bed to move, in the meanwhile he saw Saarang picking up his track suit and rushing into the washroom. Rehan thought, poor chap, he has to make up so many things. Saarang came out in his usual attire and both friends stepped down the stairs to the dining table. Saarang’s parents were extraordinarily happy to receive their son’s old friend back home. All of them dined happily and Rehan felt so much homely. As if reading his thoughts, Saarang’s father said, “It seems as if Rehan and their other friends were right here last day only. It’s actually been years.” After dinner Saarang went to the kitchen to do the dishes, when his father said, “allow me, my son, you go to Rehan.” Both friends were back to the room, half lost. They both laid on the bed, gazes fixed on the ceiling. Rehan had dozens of questions to ask but was confused where to begin from. He knew nothing about his friend’s life since the day they left their college. Rehan was placed in a London based company in Poland and had to join immediately after the graduation. Rehan asked, “Where did you go after we graduated?” This question actually took Saarang on a voyage, reliving it with his friend now; across the streets of Mumbai and Surat in India, then to the east to Hong Kong and then to the European Union and then to the another side of the globe, the United States of America, then the journey was directed to the dark continent, long struggling months at DRC – Democratic Republic of the Congo, where ‘the turning

point’ occurred and the research, the hard work, the strategies started paying off. Profession and passion were ascending as one. Blessings from many families that could be fed, and the very ethical business proceedings brought progress a little faster. Along with the progress came some fame and popularity in the industry. The trade was set up. Everything was controlled from a corporate office at Surat and a branch in Mumbai. Initially had to give lot of time to these offices and then some efficient staff started managing all, with God’s grace. Within a year another branch office was set up in Dubai, that facilitated the imports and exports. Was always blessed with an insight of picking up the accounting errors, right on the spot while randomly checking the accounts, may be because of the love and passion for accounting, right from the school days. Scrutinizing the accounts was not very regular those days, as much time was spent in the market analysis and developing newer strategies of sales and trade. Moreover, by then our company had nine accountants and all performed pretty well. But still, as the accounts professor at college always said, the blood that circulates and gives life to any business is the money, and to keep a check on the inflow and outflow of money, a company should manage its accounts well; occasional checking was a part of life. During one such check, few months after opening the Dubai branch, some variations in the accounts were noted. The manager of the branch was found involved. Big money sometimes does alter the minds of its carriers. That’s quite natural and human. So, the company had to remove the guilty. During the same time the shrinking global economy started reflecting in the business. Sudden fall in the global market demand for diamonds increased the tightness of competitions among the huge business companies, trying to build their own monopoly in the industry. The consequences started reflecting down in the hierarchy too. Some unexpected, unethical, unfair business practices occurred that made many budding entrepreneurs to perish beyond any chances of reestablishment. Survival was the greatest success.
Ayurveda Novel series - 3rd Episode Botswana, a country in the southern Africa, became the next destination. There both trade and weather conditions were more welcoming, compared to Siberia. A gut feeling that everything would fit in exactly sustained throughout. An instinct that the universe was conspiring was strongly backing the days and nights of meetings and paper works. But at times, may be almighty feels that, it’s just not the right time. Or rather you get so carried away in the race of life, that you tend to forget the very basis of this life, that’s ‘yourself ’, your body. And that is one mistake, and the biggest blunder man does and definitely he has to pay off. I also had to.
Though somehow held on, but taking a step further was indeed a challenge. Then, no option other than taking a rebirth from the ashes was left. In the search of new shores, the search and research across the salty blue giant water bodies continued. With high hopes and expectations, in the last to last October the search ended up in Siberia, the Mirny mines, this was the home to one of the largest man made craters on earth, that’s visible from the space, and rather a largest source of raw, high quality diamonds in the world. The stress was over bounding those days, because of fire in the head and the belly and the blood that gushed with high pressure through the vessels those days, the winter of Siberia didn’t freeze this body to death. But all the sufferings and the fight with the bone breaking cold for several months together couldn’t bear any fruit. Setting up a trade was not easy there, clearing up the papers was difficult and much of the mined diamonds were traded within Russia itself, as the internal demand itself was quite high.
