Read a whole article about clinical trials on lipid in the management of Covid-19.


Most COVID-19 clinical trials focus on “anti-viral” and “anti-inflammatory” strategies. In contrast, stimulation of inflammation resolution is a novel host-focused alternative to complement current therapies. Some clinical trials are going on to resolve Life-threatening 'cytokines storms' caused by Covid19.

In contrast to classic anti-inflammatory agents, endogenous pro-resolution lipids can terminate the inflammatory response by promoting the clearance of cellular debris. Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), including resolvins, lipoxins, and protectins are bioactive lipid autacoids that mediate endogenous resolution by stimulating macrophage phagocytosis of cellular debris and countering the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines. Importantly, loss of inflammation resolution mechanisms plays a role in sustaining pathologic inflammation. Endogenous resolution processes have been identified in the termination of infectious diseases, including influenza, and could thus be harnessed for averting dysregulated inflammation and associated mortality in COVID-19. SPMs promote anti-viral B lymphocytic activity in influenza, suggesting they may be a promising therapy for COVID-19. SPM precursors including17-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid (17-HDHA) have also been identified as potentially promising vaccine adjuvants as they protect against primary influenza infection and promote adaptive immunity. Thus, the use of SPMs or their precursors in combination with COVID-19 vaccines may be a novel and effective therapeutic approach.
The resolution of inflammation is also stimulated by another pathway involving arachidonic acid-derived epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs).

The ongoing clinical trials(research) on good lipids suggest that Lipid is very beneficial in many diseases including Covid-19. All these descriptions already given in Ayurveda texts. Ayurveda suggests regular consumption of Cow ghee and Cow milk- "क्षीरघृताभ्यासोरसायनों". Habitual consumption of Cow ghee and milk is Rasāyana. It increases physical and mental strength and ultimately it provides strength to our Immunity.

Sushrutasaṁhitā has described Ghee as Rakṣoghna (रक्षोघ्न), that means if ghee is offered to fire (यज्ञ) the smoke and smell of burning ghee protect us from harmful micro-organisms.
 By advising to avoid lipids, modern medical doctors are treating patients rather than curing. 
ह्रधा: सुगन्धिनोभक्ष्यालघवोघृतपाचिता: ।
वातपितहराबल्यावर्णद्रष्टिप्रसादना: ।। [Sushrutasaṁhitā]

The food cooked in ghee is delicious, fragrant, easily digestible, provide strength to mind and body, alleviate vāta and pitta, promote complexion and vision.
बलंह्यलंनिग्रहायदोषाणां, बलकृच्चतत्।–[Carakasaṁhitā]

Bala (immunity or Physical and mental strength) is capable of preventing diseases. So, everything should be done that increases Bala.

Weather and Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

Ambient temperature and air pollution are associated with cardiovascular diseases. One of the concepts associated with weather is Heart Rate Variability (HRV). In a layman language HRV is simply a measure of the variation in time between each heartbeat or a physiological phenomenon of the variation in the time interval between consecutive heartbeats. Some situations result in high HRV and some may cause low HRV. Why HRV measurement is important? The variation in HRV is controlled by a primitive part of the nervous system called the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). ANS regulates our internal organs such as heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and digestion. The ANS is subdivided into two components, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system functions. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) prepares the body for intense physical activity. On the other hand, the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) relaxes the body and inhibits or slows many high energy functi...

Cupping Therapy in Ayurveda - Indian Medical System

Image
Ayurveda is a rich science which has various time tested methods for pain management without medicines. Though Ayurveda had abundant examples of potent analgesics with a prevalence of western modern science, all vanished or have been banned by the government, marking those medicines as illegal as many of them are used as substance abused drugs. Therefore in recent decades, Ayurvedic physicians switched on to para-surgical procedures like leech therapy, Alabuchikitsa, Agnikarma, Marmachikitsa, etc. Shrunga and Alabu are types of cupping that have been described as different treatment modalities for bloodletting in different vitiated doshas. Alabuchikitsa which is commonly known as Cupping therapy is the oldest & most globally practiced medical treatment in human history. It is a traditional, time-honored treatment that remains favored by millions of people all over the world. It is a gentle therapy that uses negative pressure helping to loosen adhesions & draining fluids &...

Breast cancer can occur both in men and women, but women are more affected. Many initiatives in being made in making people aware of this ailment and research funding have helped create advances in this direction. The mortality rate related to this disease is declining and survival rates are increasing due to several reasons such as early detection, the personalized approach and a better understanding of the disease. Let’s do a quick swot up in the subject:- Types 1.     Angiosarcoma 2.     Ductal carcinoma in situ 3.     Inflammatory breast   cancer 4.     Invasive lobular carcinoma 5.     Lobular carcinoma in situ(LCIS) 6.     Male breast cancer 7.     Paget’s disease of the breast 8.  ...
