====================================================== Following case report is the best example of practical clinical application of principle of..................  सर्वदा  सर्वभावानां सामान्यं वृद्धिकारणम् !  ह्रासहेतुविशेषश्च प्रवृत्तिरुभयस्तु !!   (Ch. Ch. - 01/44) Vaidya Dilkhush (DK) Tamboli applied the said 'Charakokta principle' very intelligently as well as efficiently together as per the condition of the patient because said 2 principles are just opposite to each other.  He used 'Vidari-ksheer-pak' as  Guna-samanya and Jambu-beeja kwatha as 'Hras-hetu' with the action as 'Mutra-sangrahaneeya'. Thanks to him for providing the case details to publish on this platform for Ayurveda students/practitioners. Though, the case is not directly related to Kayachikitsa but it illustrates the basic principle, thus I have put here. Dr. Surendra A.

प्रतिलोमं यदा वायु स्रोतांसि प्रतिपद्यते ! ग्रीवां शिरश्च संग्रह्य श्लेष्माणं समुदीर्य च !! (Ch. Chi.-17 / 55 ) Charakokta Tamaka shvaasa  pratilōmaṁ yadā vāyu i.e. normal gati of vata is hampered. A specific movement of gases takes place in the alveoli from high pressure to low pressure. Oxygen moves from alveoli into blood whereas CO2 moves from blood to alveoli from where it is expired out. This movement of gases is coordinated normally by vata but when its channels are obstructed by either excessive secretion or reduced absorption of kapha (mucus), vata gets vitiated and exchange of gases does not takes place. The symptoms are presented firstly with upper respiratory tract involvement. Pinasa is the prior symptoms followed by wheezing sound (ghurghurukaṁ). The presentation explains allergic diasthesis.  Allergic rhinitis is prodormal symptom in EOSINOPHILIC GRANULOMATOSIS WITH POLYANGIITIS (EGPA).  करोति पीनसं तेन रूद्धो घुर्घुरकं तथा ! अ...

मारुतः प्रणवाहीनि स्रोतांसि आविश्य  कुप्यति ! उरस्थ: कफमुद्धूय हिक्काश्वासाङकरोति  !!                                                   (Ch.chi.17/17)   Explains the hyperplasia of mucus secretion as seen in COPD wherein small airways may become narrowed by cells (hyperplasia and accumulation), mucus, and fibrosis. Characteristic cellular changes include goblet cell metaplasia, with these mucus-secreting cells replacing surfactant-secreting Clara cells. Smooth-muscle hypertrophy (kupyati maruta) may also be present.  These abnormalities may cause luminal narrowing by fibrosis, excess mucus, edema, and cellular infiltration. Vitiated vata expels kapha from its sthana can be easily understood in case of cystic fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) which is an integral membrane protein that functions as an...

Several risk factors that predispose to asthma have been identified. These should be distinguished from triggers, which are environmental factors that worsen asthma in a patient with established disease. Diet- The role of dietary factors is controversial. Observational studies have shown that diets low in antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin A, magnesium, selenium, and omega-3 polyunsaturated fats (fish oil) or high in sodium and omega-6 polyunsaturated fats are associated with an increased risk of asthma. Vitamin D deficiency may also predispose to the de...

Annavaha srotas mulasthan is amashaya whereas pranvahamula sthan is hridaya and mahasrotas. Here mahasrotas means the gastrointestinal tract whereas rasavahasrotas mulasthan is hridaya and dasadhamani. Thus one can find the relation or the interlink between the 3 srotas and their sthan thus if anyone of the 3 gets affected it has its impact on the other two. When the food taken if not digested properly due to any reason causes ama which when propagated throughout the sharir by vyan vayu gets itself lodge where the kha vaigunya is ava...
