The classical Ayurvedic texts have postulated the role of a balanced state of Agni for sustaining life, imbalanced state of Agni for causing disease, and diminished state of Agni for leading to the diminishment of life. The Classics have designated critical terminology pertaining to relevant outcome criteria to explicitly express the significance of Agni in nourishing life and intervening health, disease as well as death. For example, Sama (balanced state of Agni) signifies traits of health; Dushti (imbalanced state of Agni affected by one, two or all the three dosha) signifies the diseases; and Shant (diminished/vanished Agni) reveals the cause and symptom of death. For diagnostic accuracy in the management of health and disease, practitioners should rely on assessments of Agni. Ascertaining the...

To our knowledge, individual components of pranayama have not been separately evaluated for impact on HRV. The objective of this study was to isolate five components of a pranayama practice and evaluate their impact on HRV. METHODS In a crossover clinical trial, 46 healthy adults were allocated to complete five activities in random order, over five separate visits: 1) sitting quietly; 2) self-paced deep breathing; 3) externally-paced deep breathing; 4) self-paced Sheetali/Sheetkari pranayama; and 5) externally paced Sheetali/Sheetkari pranayama RESULTS: Our final sample included 25 participants. There was a significant increase in a time-domain index of HRV, the root mean square successive differences between RR intervals (RMSSD), during the five interventions. The change i...

Addressing community health needs has been a challenge for the Governments of various nations in the world due to various reasons like rising number of recipients, insufficient resources, increase in demands of resources and discrimination in their supply. The role of community health assessment is central in enabling practitioners, managers and policy makers to identify, categorize and prioritize demands, update the policies and then, to ensure that these health care resources are supplied to optimize health care and maximize its outreach to community members. It has a great potential to be a vital tool which can empower the management and planning of health care across the countries at the level of nationwide, state-wide and district wide communities, populations and families. The objective of this review article is to present the systematic and updated approaches t...
