  • Exploring the Science of Marma - an Ancient Healing Technique - Part 2: Definition and Properties of Marma
    Exploring the Science of Marma - An Ancient Healing Technique - Part 2: Definition and Properties of Marma Alka Mishra*, Vandana Shrivastava Department of Ayurveda and Holistic Health, Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, Gayatrikunj-Shantikunj, Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India *Corresponding Author: Alka Mishra - Email: [email protected] License information for readers: This paper is published online under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) License, whose full terms may be seen at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Uploaded online: 27 June 2020 Abstract In the vast sea of the knowledge of Ayurveda, Marma is one of the extremely important topics. Marma points have been unanimously accepted as the ‘seats of life’ (Prana - the vital life force). If these locations are injured, then it may lead to severe pain, disability, loss of function, loss of sensation, or death. Therefore, the ancient scriptures have strictly directed that these vital locations should not be injured, and due care should be taken in this regard even while doing surgeries. However, recent researches indicate that if there is inflammation or pain at any Marma point, then stimulating its nearby Marma points can help in alleviating this pain. This Marma Therapy has been used in treating various physical and mental disorders, with encouraging results. In view of the importance of Marma Science mentioned in scriptures and with regards to surgeries, as well as the encouraging outcomes of Marma Therapy in recent times, the present study was undertaken for an in-depth study of the Science of Marma. Part-1 of this study gave an account of various ancient / classical Indian scriptures that mention different aspects of the Science of Marma.

  • Role of Sadhyovamana As Emergency Procedure in Panchakarma: a Review
    Published online in http://ijam.co.in ISSN No: 0976-5921 International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine, Vol 11 (3), 358-362 Role of Sadhyovamana as Emergency Procedure in Panchakarma: A Review Review Article Lodha Sheetal G1, Karade Ruchika S2* 1. Assistant Professor, 2. P.G Scholar, Department of Panchakarma, R. A. Podar Medical Ayurved College Mumbai. Abstract Over the last few decades, common people have a belief that Ayurveda can treat only chronic diseases. In the acute condition, we generally preferred modern medicine. But in that era also, a description of acute diseases suggested the availability of emergency treatment. Panchakarma chikitsa plays a vital role in ayurvedic treatment line, but in emergency cases, due to lack of time, it is not possible to carry out purvakarma, pradhankarma, and pashchat karma of vamana, virechana procedures. In such a condition concept of sadyovamana can be used as emergency treatment. So, to describe the procedure and importance of sadyovamana in comparison with classical vamana procedure critical analysis of literature has been done. It was found that sadyovamana can be used in various atyayika conditions of diseases. In an emergency, as purvakarma is not mandatory to carry out sadyovamana. This procedure can be conducted in a single day. There is no requirement of vishram kala (gap period). Even consideration of kala (time) does not matter many more. It is cost-effective, less time consuming and has an immediate effect, but it lasts for a short period. So, we can use the sadyovamana in the case of atyayika chikitsa of various diseases whenever classical vamana is not possible.

    History of Anatomy in India* Dr.Lakshmi Rajgopal, Dr.Govind N Hoskeri, Dr.Pritha S Bhuiyan, Dr.K Shyam Kishore (* Reproduced with the kind permission of the Editor, Journal of Postgraduate Medicine J Postgrad Med 2002; 48:243-245) “India is the cradle of human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend and the great grandmother of tradition. The most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only.” — Mark Twain History of mankind is inseparably entwined in the history of India. Medicine is as old as man and must have come into being with the first awakening of human consciousness. Is it then a wonder that history of medicine should be an integral part of history of India? Anatomy is the oldest and the most important of all medical sciences. There is enough evidence of practice of this science in the ancient Hindu India. In this article, evidence is presented to show that the Hindus were the first scientific cultivators of the most important and essential department of medical knowledge namely practical anatomy. Pre-Vedic Period Five thousand years ago, around 3000 BC Indus Valley Civilization flourished on the banks of the river Indus, contemporaneous with Mesopotamian civilization. Medicine was practised by priests, who were considered next only to Kings and the practice itself was a mixture of magic, rites and rituals. Archaeological excavations from this ancient period show clear evidence of knowledge of comparative anatomy. There are cave paintings depicting pictures of animals on which the critical areas are marked.

Hippocrates, the ancient Greek exponent of European medical thought and science emphasizes the importance of ancient art and science thus ; ' I declare, however, that we aught not to reject the ancient art as non-existent, or on the ground that its method of enquiry is faulty, just because it has not attained exactness in every detail, but much rather, because it has been able by reasoning to rise from deep ignorance to approximately perfect accuracy, I think we ought to admire the discoveries as the work, not of chance but of inquiry rightly and correctly conducted.« 2 N These remarks of Hippocrates apply equally to ancient Indian medical science.

Many vamaka yogas(emetics) have been mentioned in bruhatrayees (treatises of Ayurveda) in various forms of preparations. Madanaphala (emetic nut) is considered as best vamaka dravya (emetic drug).
