The proportion of 1:15:15, on the other hand, might be useful especially for the children, geriatric and obstetrics patients, since it would enable the extraction of relatively lesser attributes of the drug in the milk. These formulations are largely indicated in various ailments with aggravated vaata and pitta doshas. They have lesser applications in diseases caused due to the aggravation of kapha dosha. It should also be noted that these formulations are particularly effective on the ‘rasa and rakta’ dhaatus and the later dhaatus of ‘asthi, majja and shukra’. The reason for this can be said to rest in the properties of milk and the corresponding attributes of the dhaatus which it nourishes. The rasa and rakta dhaatus would be particularly replenished with formulations which provide instant nourishment, largely fluid and easily assimiable in nature. The milk is also known to be ‘sadyashukrakar’, that which instantly nourishes the shukra dhaatu. The use of ksheerapaka formulations in treating several diseases affecting the ‘netra’, which is known to be produced from the essence of the majja dhaatu, is eloquent enough to justify its beneficial effect on the majja dhaatu. The commentary by Arundatta specifically refers to the use of ‘tiktaksheera basti’ (basti medication prepared by using ksheerapaka formulation of drugs of tikta rasa attribute) in the treatment of ailments of ‘asthivaha srotasa’ (~channel of the asthi dhaatu). Owing to the similarity in the fundamental ‘mahabhautic’ constitutions of the tikta rasa and the asthi dhaatu (both expressed with the predominance of vaayu and aakaash mahabhuta), and the fact that the attribute of the tikta rasa, which aggravates the vaata dosha is inherently detrimental to the healing of a... ... middle of paper ... ...tration of vidanga (Embelia ribes Burm.F.) and shunthi ksheerapaka to the neonatal in case of failed lactation is commonly accepted in Indian households. C) The administration of shunthi ksheerapaka, haridra ksheerapaka (Curcuma longa) or the vardhamana pippali ksheerapaka as supplementary therapies in kaasa, swarabheda (~hoarseness of voice) and shvaasa (~asthama) afflictions is also well known. This study aims at being a reminder of sort for the clinicians to restore the use and explore the vast possibilities of application of ‘siddha ksheera’ in daily practice. Considering the nourishing and restorative effect of this particular formulation on almost all the dhaatus from rasa to shukra, the importance of use of ksheerapaka in the diseases affecting children, age old individuals, pregnant ladies and patients suffering from malnutrition cannot be underestimated.

The famous spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi said, "Homeopathy cures a greater percentage of cases than any other method of treatment. Homeopathy is the latest, most refined method of treating patients economically and non-violently” (Malik). However, Homeopathy is only one of the many natural forms of treatment that patients are utilizing in an effort to avoid conventional medicine. A clinic practice model that combines conventional medicine with Naturopathic, Complementary and other forms of alternative medicine all in one setting, is the new health paradigm called Integrative Medicine. With the public’s growing concern of being over-medicated by costly and sometimes violent conventional medicine, I am going to explain the movement towards

Some common health traditions based on my culture include the use of Unani Medicine, Ayurveda, Siddha, Yoga, Naturopathy and Homeopathy in daily use in rural villages as well as urban low cost clinics. The treatment however is highly individualized. Unani medicine is ancient Greek medicine that was based on the concept of balancing body humors. They either fell out of balance, which might yield diseases (depending on circumstances), or were restored to balance to heal diseases. Unani systems involve these four elements: earth, air, water, and fire; along with four natures: cold, hot, wet, and dry; and four humors: blood (which is hot/wet), phlegm (cold/wet), yellow bile (hot/dry), and black bile (cold/dry). Ayurveda is mainly based on herbs, plants, flowers, fruits, vegetables and all vegetation that grows around us in plenty. It is our native system based on the peculiar Indian conditions. Ayurveda begins when everything fails and when the treatment is uncertain a...
Precision of a patient’s intravenous medication is essential; it must be safe from. contamination, toxicity, and side effects. Most people believe these medications are compounded or mixed by a trained and licensed individual.

Having analyzed a lot of literature on the issues connected to the topic of choosing alternative ways of treatment instead of conventional medicine, I want to say that there are natural treatments for every complaint and what is more, non-traditional medicine attempts to repair balance by removing any barriers and problems, keeping human’s body from healing itself. The only obstacle to recovering process can be a person and, to be precise, his or her attitude to the approach that is applied. A feature of the person, the essence of the disease and other factors more occur in treatment, and not so much which disease is being treated.
Firstly, nurses are expected to practice evidence-based health care hence a mastery of information about the essential and safe dose of drugs for a patient is very important for a nurse. Consequently, it could be the determinant between the life and the death of the patient. Pharmacology is a discipline which is mandatory for the nurse to excel in to be efficient in discharging his/her duties. Understanding which drug to use, the right dosage, the expected side effects which may occur and the contra-indications of the various drugs are key in the preservation of

Over the centuries, the ancients utilized several treatment methods. Two of them are modern medicine and traditional medicine. Alternative medicine is older than modern medicine.. That effective therapy has been used for many centuries on the patient when modern medicine did not be found in the world. In addition, because of being improved in China, it can be called as Traditional Chinese Medicine. On the contrary, modern medicine has been used since from 1900’s (health guidance). In this system, drugs’ testes are carefully done in the safe laboratories, and their side effects are identified before they are given to the patient and also the effects of the pills, antibiotics or syrups are written on the leaflets which are in to the packages. However, sometimes the side effects are not blocked, so people have to take another pill to get better. It makes people take more chemicals into their bodies. Even traditional medicine, which people’s ancestors were used, stayed in the background when modern medicine has just found, works efficaciously at the present time. With the passing of time, people will gain reliance on Chinese medicine again, since alternative medicine is more efficient and powerful in order to get better and handle the disease than modern medicine because in traditional medicine, there are fewer drugs, side effects, there is placebo effect and holistic therapy which all the patients can be exploited.
