Acharya Charak has mentioned that Mandagni causes improper digestion of ingested food, which moves either in Urdhwa or Adho-Marga. When it goes into Adho-marga, then it leads to Grahani Gada. Acharya Sushrut has mentioned that, patients of Atisara, during the stage of Agnimandya, if take incompatible diet, may lead to Grahani Roga. So Agni plays an important role for producing this disease. Muhurvaddha muhurdrava mala pravriti (altered bowel habit), Shlesma mala pravriti (mucous in stool) are the main symptoms of this disease. By considering the above facts the trial drug an indigenous herbal compound which contains Bilwa, Chavya, Chitraka and Sunthi in equal quantity was selected to reduce the pathogenesis of this disease. Most of the ingredient of this formulation possesses Ama Pachana, Agni Deepana and Grahi qualities. A total number of 45 patients were selected and divided into two groups. Simple random sampling methods were used in this study. In the study group 30 patients were given with the trial drug and in the other group patients were given with placebo drug. Mild to moderate improvements in symptoms of Grahani found in trial group. In placebo group patients also have shown certain improvement in the symptom of Tikta Amla Udgara and Mukha vairasya. Trial drug has shown more effective in bowel habit of Grahani patients.

On observation it is found that our breath flows in either one nostril more than the other. This keeps on alternating in a periodic manner known as Swara i.e. rhythm of life. Hatha Yoga declares "Ha" means sun and "Tha" means moon where the right nostril is Pingala Nadi (sun like) and left nostril is Ida Nadi (moon like). This breathing is known as Prana Vayu (Vata) in Ayurved and Prana (life force) in Yogic scriptures. The physiology of breathing can be grasped clearly after analyzing the Autonomic Nervous System. Yoga advocates that by breath regulation (Pranayam) diseases can be cured and this comes under Adravyabhuta chikitsa (non-medicinal therapy) in Ayurveda. Food and Drug is either anabolic or catabolic in nature and their post digestion effect not only affects the fundamental constituents (Doshas) of the body but also results in shifting of the breath from one nostril to the other. Apart from medicines the body is capable of healing itself by homeostasis. Now it is time to put the ancient Yogic scripture under investigation to know how one can regulate his breathing consciously and achieve a balanced State of Body, Senses & Mind to establish social wellbeing at large.

Raktapitta , Dosha Avarana and Dhatukshya are the main etiological factors involved. Madhumeha is vatika type of Prameha and all the three Dosha and Saptadhatu except Asthidahtu get s vitiated. Mainly Rakta , Mamsa and Meda dhatu affected by both etiopathological mechanisms of Avarana and Dhatukshya . Agnimandya and Ama formation are initiating factors of the main disease Madhumeha and all these leads to complications similar to Raktapitta due to Rasayani daurvalya . Ojas kshaya is another etiological factor in Madhumeha . In Pranavritta vyana Vyanavayu gets obstructed by Pranavayu and leads to Indriyasunyata . Raktavritta vata too have a role in development of DR Pathology. Timir is described under Vataja nanattmaja vyadhi by Charaka. Vagbhata and Yogratnakara advised Basti chikitsa in Timir vyadhi .

The risk of development of blindness in diabetics increases by 20-25 times as compared to the normal population. High prevalence rate of Diabetic Retinopathy (34.6%), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (7%), diabetic macular edema (6.8%), and Vision threatening Diabetic retinopathy (10.2%) in diabetics was great concerns which led to search and analyze the disease process on the basis of modern pathogenesis and different Timirvyadhi mentioned in Ayurvedic authoritative texts. Thus the present study endeavors to discuss the similarities and differences among the various components of Prameha/Madhumehajanya Timir with Diabetic retinopathy and its stages. To establish a probable etiopathogenesis of the disease from Ayurveda prospective, all the important literature of both modern medicine and Ayurveda along with online sources were searched and analyzed....

Sushruta described the netra sharira according to nidana and chikitsa into three distinct parts called mandala, patala and sandhi. Mandalas are 5 in number and patala and sandhi are 6 in number. Out of six netra patals two are external, confined to both the eye lids and four patalas confined to the internal eye ball i.e. dristi. The same division was adopted by Vagbhatta, Madhavakara and Bhavamishra also. The fact regarding the netra sharira adopted by ancient surgeons is still a matter of debate. The objective of this literary research paper is to find proper correlation of dristi to those mentioned in modern ophthalmology. All the classical Ayurveda texts, research papers, Modern ophthalmology books and journals were searched to get the references. From the study it can conclude that dristi is the functional aspect of vision which is confined to dhatus i.e. sukshma dhatu or asthayi dhatu, vision and visual field defects depend on vitiated dosha and affected dhatu. Symptoms of dristi rogas complement to the diseases of lens, retina, optic nerve and optic pathways described in Modern ophthalmology.
