Role of Pharmacognosy in Allopathy
Allopathy medicine is a part of the western medical system. This system is spread
all over the world and adopted by many countries over the world due to its
effectiveness in emergency.
In this system, the drugs are manufactured using synthetic chemicals or chemicals
derived from natural products like plants, animals or mineral resources. It also
uses modern equipment's for analysis, diagnosis, and surgery.
Era of Miasmas.
Traditional System Of Medicine
In ancient period, the treatment of disease or disorder is done by natural planta or
animals.
In the "Suktae of Rigveda and Atharwaveda", medicine plant is written with their uses [
around 6500 years age]. A plenty of medicinal plants are described in old Ayurveda book -
" Charak Samhita"," Sushruta Samhita".
It's based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance
between the mind body and spirit it’s main goal is to promote good health, not
fight disease, but treatment may be geared toward specific health problem.
The practice of Ayurveda
The Indian medical council was set up in 1971 by the Indian government to establish a
maintenance of standards for undergraduate and postgraduate in Indian medicine and
recognise various forms of traditional practice including Ayurveda,Unani and Siddha.
Projects have been undertaken to integrate the indigenous Indian and western forms of
medicine. Most Ayurveda practitioners work in rural areas, providing health care to at
least 500 million people in India alone. They therefore represent a major force for primary
health care and their training and deployment are important to the government of India.
Like scientific medicine Ayurveda has both preventive and creative aspects The prevents
component emphasize the need for a strict code of personal and social hygiene, the details
of which depend upon individual, climatic, and environmental needs bodily exercise the
use of herbal preparations, and yoga form part of the medical measures. The creative
aspect of Ayurveda involve the use of herbal medicines, external preparations,
physiotherapy, and diet. It is a principle of Ayurveda that the preventive and therapeutic
measures be adapted to the personal requirement of each of patient.
Effectiveness of Ayurveda Medicine
Few well-designed clinical trials and systematic research reviews suggest that Ayurveda
approaches are effective.
Results from a 2013 clinical trial compared two Ayurveda formulations of plant extracts against the
natural product glucosamine sulphate and the drug celecoxib in 440 people with knee
osteoarthritis. All four products provided similar reductions in pain and improvements in function.
A preliminary and small NCCIH-funded 2011 pilot study with 43 people found that conventional
and Ayurveda treatments for rheumatoid arthritis were similarly effective. The conventional drug
tested was methotrexate and the Ayurveda treatment included 40 herbal compounds.
Outcomes from a small short-term clinical trial with 89 men and women suggested that a
formulation of five Ayurveda herbs may help people with type 2 diabetes. However, other
researchers said inadequate study designs haven’t allowed researchers to develop firm conclusions
about Ayurveda for diabetes.
Turmeric, an herb often used in Ayurveda preparations, may help with ulcerative colitis, but the
two studies reporting this were small—one, published in 2005, included 10 people while the other,
published in 2006, had 89.
Safety of Ayurveda Medicine
Some Ayurveda preparations include metals, minerals, or gems. The U.S. Food
and Drug Administration warns that the presence of metals in some Ayurveda
products makes them potentially harmful.
A 2015 published survey of people who use Ayurveda preparations showed that
40 percent had elevated blood levels of lead and some had elevated blood levels of
mercury. About one in four of the supplements tested had high levels of lead and
almost half of them had high levels of mercury.
A 2015 case report published in the Centre for Disease Control’s Morbidity and
Mortality Weekly Report linked elevated blood lead levels in a 64-year-old woman
with Ayurveda preparations purchased on the Internet.
Although rare, Ayurveda products may cause arsenic poisoning
Ayurveda as a complimentary system
The basic difference between Ayurveda and western Allopathic medicine is important to
understand. Western allopathic medicine Currently tends to focus on symptomatology and
disease and primarily uses drugs and surgery to rid the body of pathogens or disease tissue.
Many lives have been saved by this approach. In fact, surgery is encompassed by Ayurveda.
However, drugs became of their toxicity, often weaken the body. There are many instances
when the disease process and acute conditions can best be treated with drugs or surgery.
Ayurveda can be used in conjunction with western medicine to make a person stronger and
less likely to be afflicted with disease and to rebuild the body after being treated with drugs
or surgery. We all have times when we don't feel well and recognize that. We're out of
balance. Sometimes we go to the doctor only to be told there is nothing wrong. What is
actually accruing is that this imbalance has not yet become recognizable as a disease. Yet it
is serious enough to make us notice our discomfort. We may start to wonder whether it is
just our imagination. We may also begin to consider alternative measures and actively seek
to create balance in our body, mind and consciousness.
UNANI SYSTEM OF MEDICINE
Unani system of medicine is originated in Greece by the Greek philosopher, physician
Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.), who freed medicine from the realm of superstition and magic,
and gave it the status of science. The theoretical framework of Unani medicine is based on
the teachings of Hippocrates. After him, a number of other Greek scholars followed the
system considerably. Among them Galen (131-212 A.D.) was the one to stabilize its
foundation, on which Arab physicians like Raazes (850-925 A.D.) and Avicenna (980-1037
A.D.) Constructed an imposing edifice. Unani medicine got its got importance among the
other systems of traditional medicine in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Persia, India, China and other
Middle East and Far East countries. In India, Arabs introduced Unani system of medicine,
and soon it enriched in India. When Mongols ravaged Persian and central Asian cities,
scholars and physicians of Unani medicine fled to India. The Delhi Sultans, the Khiljis, the
Tughlaqs and the Mughal Emperors provided state patronage to the scholars and even
enrolled some as state employees and court physicians. During the 13th and 17th century,
Unani medicine was firmly rooted in India by Abu Bakr Bin Ali Usman Kasahani,
Sadruddin Damashqui, Bahwabin Khwas Khan, Ali Geelani, Akabl Arzani and Mohammad
Hoshim Alvi Khan.
History of UNANI MEDICINE
Unani considers the human body to be made up of seven components. Arkan
(elements), mizaj (temperaments), aklath (humours), anza (organs), arawh (spirits),
Quo faculties) and afal functions), each of which has close relation to the state of
health of an individual. A physician takes into account all these factors before
diagnosing and prescribing treatment. Unani medicine is based on the Greece
philosophy. According to Basic Principles of Unani, the body is made up of the four
basic elements, i.e. Earth, Air, Water and Fire, which have different Temperaments,
i.e. Cold, Hot, Wet and Dry. After mixing and interaction of four elements, a new
compound having new temperament comes into existence, i.e. Hot Wet, Hot Dry,
Cold Wet and Cold Dry. The body has the simple and compound organs, which got
their nourishment through four humours, i.e. blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black
bile. The humour also assigned temperament as blood is, i.e. hot and wet; Phlegm is
cold and hot, yellow bile is hot and dry and black bile is cold and dry. Health is a
state of body in which there is equilibrium in the humours and functions of the body
are normal in accordance to its own temperament and the environment.
Diagnosis Diseases
Diagnosis Diseases are mainly diagnosed with the help of pulse (nabz), physical
examination of the urine and stool. Also, patients are examined systematically to
make the diagnosis easy as spot diagnosis with the help of simple, modern gadgets.
Treatment Diseases are treated in the following ways: Ilajbil Tadbeer (Regimental
Therapy): Some drugless regimens are advised for the treatment 1. of certain
ailments, i.e. exercise, massage, hamam (Turkish bath), Douches (Cold and Hot)
and the Regimen for Geriatrics. Ilajbil Ghiza (Dietotherapy): Different diets are
recommended for the patients of different 2. diseases. Ilajbil Dava (Pharmaco
therapy): The basic concept of treatment is to correct the cause of the 3. disease that
may be abnormal temperament due to: Envirnmental factors
Environmental factors
Abnormal humours either due to internal causes or external causes which may be
pathogenic microorganism, through (a) drugs of opposite temperament to the
temperament of the disease that is called
environmental factors Abnormal humours either due to internal causes or external
causes which may be pathogenic microorganism, through (a) drugs of opposite
temperament to the temperament of the disease that is called laj-bil-zid or b) drugs
of similar temperament as of the temperament of the disease that is called as Ilaj-
bilmisl 4. Tlajbil Yad (Surgery). The drugs used are mostly of the plant origin. Some
drugs of animal and mineral origin are also used. Patients are treated either by single
drug (crude drugs) or by com-pound drugs (formulations of single drugs). drugs
There are two types of compound drugs used in the treatment of the diseases, i.e.
classical compound drugs which are in use for the hundreds and thousands years and
patent/proprietary compound drugs which have been formulated by the individuals
or institutions as per their research and experiences. Unani system of medicine is
one of the oldest systems of medicine in the world; it is still popular and practised in
Indian subcontinent and other parts of the world
Siddha
Siddha is an ancient Indian traditional treatment system which evolved in South
India , chiefly in Tamil Nadu .
The origin of the tail language is attributed to the sage Agasthya and the origin of
siddha medicine is also attributed to him. The therapeutics of siddha medicines
consist mainly of the use of metals and minerals whereas in the earlier Ayurveda.
Principle of Siddha system of medicine
The universe consists of two essential entities: matter and energy . The siddhas
call them Shiva (male) and Shakti (female). Matter cannot exist without energy
inherent in it and vice versa. The two coexist and are inseparable. They are the
primordial elements (bhutas), and are not to be confused with modern chemistry.
Their names are munn(solid), neer(fluid) , thee (radiance) , vaya(gas) and
aakasam(ether).
Modern Chinese medicine has primarily been known to treat pain and organ
disharmony by using acupuncture and herbal formulas based on Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM) pattern differentiation. There are some schools and practitioners of
more esoteric treatments that place more emphasis on treating the mental aspect of
the patient, such as five-element theory as developed by the late J. R. Worsley. His
principles would later be presented in an Oriental medicine psychology textbook,
Five Elements of Acupuncture and Chinese Massage. From that book is a
description of the physical manifestation of emotional constraint that would be
appropriately treated with acupuncture
