Item A study on efficacy of Patha oil Nasya in the management of Dushta Pratishyaya.(Department of Shalya Shalakya,Gampaha Wickramarachchi Ayurveda Institute,University of Kelaniya,Sri Lanka, 2017) Sooriyakumar. A.; Samarakoon, S.M.S.Dushta Pratishyaya (DP) is a type of Pratishyaya which is mainly a Kapha dominant disease. When Pratishyaya becomes chronic, it is termed Dushta Pratishyaya. Based on symptomatology, DP could be correlated with sinusitis which is an inammatory condition of the sinuses. This study was a randomized comparative clinical study on DP to evaluate the effect of Patha Oil Nasya (PON) in its treatment. The selected patients were randomly divided into two equal groups; Group A and Group B. Group A was treated with PON (pratimarsha) daily in the morning for seven days. All the symptoms were graded and evaluated before and after treatment. Data were analyzed by using SPSS statistical software system. Patha oil Nasya improved pain tenderness over frontal region, nasal block and anosmia in statistically highly signicant manner (p<0.001). The ingredients of Patha oil consist of Kashaya, Tikta and Katu rasa, Ushnavirya, Katuvipaka and Laghuguna. Total effect of PON is of kaphashamaka. The PON has antiin ammatory, antiseptic, astringent, analgesic and anti-histamine effects which may relieve the symptoms of Dushta Pratishyaya. Finally, it can be concluded that PON is effective on Dushta Pratishyaya.Item A comparative clinical study on the efcacy of oral Sarasvata Ghrita and Sarasvata Ghrita Nasya in the management of Vataja Shirah Shoola (tension headache)(Department of Shalya Shalakya,Gampaha Wickramarachchi Ayurveda Institute,University of Kelaniya,Sri Lanka, 2017) Senadheera, T.; Samarakoon, S.M.S.Acharya Charaka considered Shiro-ruk as a separate disease in eighty types of Nanatmaja Vata- Vyadhi. He has mentioned ve types of Shiroroga (05) including Vataja Shiroroga. Considering the line of treatment, Caraka recommended specic ghee preparations for Vatika Shiroroga. Vataja Shirah Shoola (VSS) can be correlated with tension headache which is the most common type of headache. The prevalence of tension headache is about 3% of the general population. The present study is a comparative clinical study on the efcacy of oral Sarasvata Grita (SG) and Sarasvata Ghrita Nasya (SGN) on Vataja Shirah Shoola. Thirty patients (30) were selected from the OPD of Ayurveda Hospital, Meegoda and were randomly divided into two groups: group A and group B. Group A was treated with oral SG, 10 ml orally twice a day before meals for a period of thirty (30) days while group B was treated with SGN at the dose of 8 drops daily at 9.00 am after a light meal for same duration. Patients were evaluated before and after treatment. Data were analyzed by using SPSS statistical software. The result revealed that the 36 – 45 age group (76.7%), female (56.7%) and Vata-pitta prakriti (56%) are more vulnerable to VSS. Oral SG improved subjective parameters and blood pressure in a highly signicant manner (p>0.001) whereas Oral SG improved bi-temporal headache and disturbed sleep in a signicant manner (p<0.05). Collectively, the ingredients of SG have tridosha shamaka effect, especially Vata shamaka effect. Due to synergistic effect of SG, most of the parameters have shown signicant improvement. SGN improved subjective parameter in signicant manner (p<0.05) whereas the improvement of blood pressure is highly signicant (p<0.001). When comparing the effect of two treatments on VSS, it is reported that the difference of mean of most of the subjective parameters between group A and B is highly signicant (p<0.001). Hence, it is concluded that oral Sarasvata Ghrita has higher degree of efcacy on Vataja Shirahshoola over Sarasvata Ghrita Nasya.Item An analysis of the barriers of introducing yoga educational program for school students in Sri Lanka(Gampaha Wickramarachchi Ayurveda Institute, University of Kelaniya, 2014) Dissanayake, H.M.N.R.; Samarakoon, S.M.S.Item Concepts of Puta and its usage(Gampaha Wickramarachchi Ayurveda Institute, University of Kelaniya, 2014) Herapathdeniya, S.K.M.K.; Samarakoon, S.M.S.Item Analytical study on Navarathna Kalka prepared by classical and conventional methods(Gampaha Wickramarachchi Ayurveda Institute, University of Kelaniya, 2014) Kumara, K.W.D.C.C.; Samarakoon, S.M.S.; Samarathunga, L.M.D.D.K.Item A comparative clinical study on Nirgundilasunadi decoction and Rasnadi gutika in the management of Grivasandhigatha vata (Cervical spondylosis)(Gampaha Wickramarachchi Ayurveda Institute, University of Kelaniya, 2014) Karunarathne, H.M.H.L.; Samarakoon, S.M.S.Item A comparative clinical study on the efficacy of Navaka Guggulu and Amritadya Guggulu in the management of obesity (Sthaulya)(Gampaha Wickramarachchi Ayurveda Institute, 2012) Jayasiri, S.A.U.S.K.; Samarakoon, S.M.S.
