Vol 1, No 2 (2022): Twakasarata: Recognize the Influence of First Impression
Authors: Priya Saxsena, Akansha Pathak, Dr. B.R. Goel
Abstract: Sara is a one-of-a-kind notion revealed in Ayurveda. It is a fundamental or exceptional component of Dhatu (tissues). Sara Parikshana (Examination) is critical for ruling out Dhatu's Bala (strength). The skin is the body's biggest organ. As a result, skin care can have a direct impact on our general health. Skin serves as a protective shield and is the most sensitive to environmental factors. It is influenced by many elements than we may realise. As a result, skin care is essential.Rasasara is defined as a Twakasara by Dalhanacharya since the activities of the Rasa Dhatu are best carried out through Skin. Twakasara's physical characteristics are entirely focused with skin on body hair. Physical beauty makes such a strong first impact on the mind that we may go well beyond appearances and begin making assumptions about a person's prosperity, position, parenting, and intellect, even if these beliefs turn out to be false.To grasp the strength or weakness of our appearance, we must recognise the power of first impressions, i.e. Twakasarata. It has an impact on how we see and treat people. It takes a lot to modify our opinion of someone once we've formed one. We would be able to preserve the skin's health by using skin knowledge and Twakasarata.

Vol 1, No 2 (2022): A Review of Adhimantha (Glaucoma) from an Ayurvedic and Contemporary Perspective
Authors: Vipul Vaibhav Singh, Abhishek Giri, Shivansh Pandey
Abstract: Because of urbanisation and pollution, the entire universe is building better systems of therapy and medicine in medical science to treat sickness and maintain health. Shalakya tanta is a branch of Astanga Ayurveda that treats chakshu, nasa, and karna diseases. Shirah, Kantha, and Mukha. Adhimantha is a sarvagata netrarogas illness as explained by Acharya Susaruta and Vagbhatta. It is an Abhishyanda difficulty. Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative condition of the optic nerve that mostly affects the elderly, particularly those over the age of 80. Glaucoma is caused by any injury to the eye, Virudha ahar, or vihar. Glaucoma was characterised in the ancient texts as Adhimanth, which meaning Adhi (Excessive) and Manth (Churning); a situation in which excessive pain in the eye, similar to churning sensation, occurs in this disease. Headache, foreign body sensation, lacrimation, redness of the eye, and trouble seeing are some of the symptoms. In such a case, a study on Adhimantha, its concept, and its care according to Ayurveda becomes critical. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide, affecting millions of people. This page discusses the Ayurvedic and modern viewpoints on Adhimantha, as well as therapeutic options.

Vol 1, No 1 (2022): A Study on the Diverse Bodily Structures of Twaka Sharir- Review
Authors: Dr. Jagannathrao Hegde, Tushar Ghorpade
Abstract: Ayurveda is an old medical system that introduced the notion of pancha gyanendriya, the most significant of which is twagindriya or sparshanendriya. The sparshanendriya is a sense organ responsible for the feeling of touch. It covers and protects the body's surface from heat, cold, and external infections, among other things. The human skin is a biological wonder. It is the body's protective coating.
Acharya Sushruta makes ayurvedic knowledge more practical and beneficial. His significant contributions to ayurvedic sharir include the description and categorization of diverse bodily structures such as sira, dhamni, snayu, asthi, twaka, and so on.

Vol 1, No 1 (2022): A Comparison Study to Assess Ojas Status in Stressed People
Authors: Dr. Aman Bhalla, Gurpreet Kaur
Abstract: The idea of ojas is peculiar to Ayurveda. Even though ojas is seen as a fundamental component of an individual's life and well-being, the notion remains unclear in the eyes of society. Ojas is thought to be the essence of the dhatus, and it is in charge of bodily upkeep. Depletion of Ojas has various negative impacts on an individual's mental and physical health, and can even result in death. Rapid cultural modernisation, rapidly evolving technology, and changing lifestyles have enabled man to overcome previously unfathomable barriers. At the same time, it has had negative impacts on the human body. The increasing speed has given rise to a new breed of illnesses, which has a terrible influence on society. It has been the primary cause of the horrible health situation. According to recent assessments, work-related stress has increased by 57% in India. While describing the causes of ojas vitiation, Ayurvedic texts emphasise psychological situations such as wrath, stress, grief, and tiredness after activity. Fear, debility, an unstable mind, cheerlessness, excessive concern, and other symptoms have been reported by Ojakshay lakshana acharyas. These symptoms can even be present in people who are stressed. There has been no research done to far to investigate the state of ojas in stressed people.

Vol 1, No 1 (2022): A Detail Study on the Role of Most Clinically Important Organ Jihwa(Tongue) in Ayurveda
Authors: Komalpreet Kaur, Gurshandeep Singh, Gurnam Singh
Abstract: Acharya Shusruta, Charaka, and Vagbhata each discussed Shareerasthana independently in their own samhitas, emphasising the value of Rachana Sharira understanding. Physicians who wish to be perfect in the field of life science must be flawless in human anatomy. Every organ in the body is vital in its own right. Sense organs are important among them. Jihwa is an Indriya among Panchendriya, according to Ayurveda. Indriyas can sense their objects only when they are supported by the mind, which is how information is viewed or memorised. Human sense organs have receptors that convey information to suitable locations within the nervous system via sensory neurons. A healthy tongue is vital for an individual's physical as well as social wellness.

Vol 1, No 1 (2022): A Study on Research Opportunities Available in Rachana Sharir
Authors: Dr. Vijay P. Ukhalkar, Sanjay Bhagwat, Sanjay Tamoli
Abstract: The primary necessity of modern Ayurveda is research. Ayurveda requires research to examine and confirm its essential beliefs and therapies. If Ayurveda is to be fully studied and validated, scientific contributions should be used to inform Ayurveda's principles and philosophy. Rachana Sharir is an Ayurvedic foundation. It teaches essential Sharira ideas. The concepts of srotas, avedhya sira, twak sharir, kala sharir, marma, ojas, chaturvimshati purusha, sira, dhamni, and others are emphasised. The principles of rachana sharir should be extensively researched so that we can link up with current anatomy and present the rachana sharira notions in a modern setting.

Vol 1, No 1 (2022): Ayurvedic Research on Simple Treatments for Common Skin Issues
Authors: Dr. R. H. Singh1, Dharmendra Parikh2
Abstract: The main issue for topical countries is to protect or maintain our skin away from various disorders and issues. There is a lot of perspiration during Grishma Rhutu and after Grishma (early rainy season), which leads to dehydration and undue dryness of the skin. Sweating also promotes the growth of various bacteria, fungus, and other harmful organisms in the skin. As Ayurveda constantly maintains that prevention is better than treatment, the aims of Ayurveda imply that "Swasthasy Swastha Rakshanam Aaturasy Vikaara Prashamanam Cha," as mentioned in Charak Sutrasthana 30/26. It is restoring a healthy condition of life to someone who is suffering with an illness that may be treated with curative therapy by delivering drugs. Ayurveda has outlined numerous ways for restoring a healthy condition of life, one of them is to undertake physical activity. From a management standpoint, Ayurveda suggests many efficient therapies for various skin ailments, which will be explored in depth below.
