Relevance of metal based Ayurvedic formulations in the management of recurrent acute/ chronic pancreatitis
This study reports on 250 cases of Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis (RAP) and Chronic Pancreatitis (CP) treated with an Ayurvedic herbo-mineral formulation, along with a balanced diet and lifestyle changes. Significant improvement was seen in patients who completed the treatment.
Acute and Sub acute Toxicity Study of Ayurvedic Formulation (AYFs) Used for Migraine Treatment
This study tested the safety of five Ayurvedic formulations for migraine prevention in rats and mice. Acute and sub-acute toxicity studies showed no toxic effects at doses up to 10 times the human dose. A slight mortality in high-dose groups was unrelated to treatment. The formulations are considered safe, but further chronic toxicity studies are needed.
Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia: 37 Years Long Ongoing Survival in a de novo Patient with Metal-Based Ayurvedic Treatment
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML) is a subtype of leukemia marked by anemia, infections, and bleeding. It is diagnosed through bone marrow tests and the PML-RARα fusion gene. Recent treatments with ATRA and arsenic trioxide have improved survival rates, but challenges like side effects and relapses remain. A 1982 case of a patient who survived 37 years without standard treatment suggests potential alternative therapies.
Hepato-protective Effect of an Ayurvedic Formulation Prak-20 in CCl 4 Induced Toxicity in Rats: Results of Three Studies
Prak-20, an ayurvedic herbo-mineral formulation, was studied for its hepato-protective effects in rats. It showed no significant liver damage or elevated enzyme levels compared to controls. In higher doses, it reduced liver enzymes by up to 54% and minimized liver damage. These results suggest Prak-20 is effective in protecting the liver, with further research needed on its mechanism.
Ayurvedic preparation in the treatment of nutritional anemia
A pilot study on 600 anemic women showed the highest hemoglobin gain (1.8 g%) with a combination of Ayurvedic preparations SS and Ayas, followed by Ayas (1.6 g%), SS (1.5 g%), and IFA tablets (1.1 g%). SS, a non-iron Ayurvedic preparation, improved iron absorption and showed promising results with minimal side effects.
Prevalence of Anemia among Pregnant Women and Adolescent Girls in 16 Districts of India
Nutritional anemia is widespread in India, affecting 84.9% of pregnant women and 90.1% of adolescent girls. Severe anemia is prevalent in both groups. The Government of India provides iron and folic acid to pregnant women, but no similar program exists for adolescent girls. Interventions should address iron, B12, and folic acid deficiencies.
