Pharmacological management of T 2 DM has many adverse effects; hence, we need to conduct research in complementary and alternative medicine. Uddiyana bandha is a yogic technique utilized as a complementary practice for various conditions, but its evidence on the impact of T 2 DM is limited Objective: This case series aims to assess the effect of U. bandha on fasting blood glucose and blood pressure in patients with T 2 DM Methods: Three T 2 DM patients were admitted to our inpatient hospital for a holistic approach combining Yoga and Naturopathy treatment. During their stay, they participated in 5 min of U. bandha intervention under supervision. We have evaluated fasting blood glucose (FBG) and blood pressure (BP) before, immediately after, after 30 min, and after 45 min of the intervention. Meanwhile, the next day, the same 3 patients were assessed for fasting blood glucose level and blood pressure in Shavasana to detect potential effects used as a control group Results: Preliminary findings indicate that U. bandha may initially raise fasting blood glucose and blood pressure but reduce them after 45 min compared to controls. However, further research is needed to validate these findings and establish a causal relationship Conclusion: U. bandha is a promising intervention as a complementary therapy for T 2 DM, but more extensive investigations are required to elucidate its mechanisms and clinical significance 1.

Introduction: The tonsils, which are found towards the back portion of the throat, are inflamed and infected, leading to chronic tonsillitis, a prolonged illness. In the first few years of life, it has a high morbidity rate among the largest number of children. These tonsils are part of the immune system and fight off infections. The main cause is usually a bacterial or viral infection, which can be transmitted through respiratory droplets or recurrent acute tonsillitis. There are different types of tonsillitis, including acute tonsillitis, chronic tonsillitis, and recurrent tonsillitis. Chronic tonsil - litis can last for months or even years, and acute tonsillitis is a short-term illness that lasts for a few days or weeks. Multiple episodes of tonsillitis during the year are referred to as recurrent tonsillitis. Common symptoms of chronic tonsillitis include persistent sore throat, difficulty swallowing, swollen tonsils, bad breath, and tender lymph nodes in the neck. Some individuals may also experience recurring episodes of fever and fatigue. Parents avoid surgery due to side effects, causing chronic and vulnerable tonsillitis, and leading to systemic complications. The disease Tundikeri , which is described in Ayurvedic texts and has similarities to tonsillitis, is believed to occur due to Kapha Prakopa and Rakta Dushti , leading to obstruction in the throat and increased dampness in the palate and throat region. Ayurvedic books provide various treatments for tonsillitis, including surgical intervention ( Bhedana and Chhedana) with the Mandalagra instrument. The study explores herbal remedies for chronic tonsillitis treatment, evaluating usage and reducing tonsillectomy needs using classical sources and recent research. Aim : To find out drugs for Ayurvedic Management of Tonsillitis / Tundikeri and their properties.

INTRODUCTION Tonsillitis is one of the most frequent illnesses that cause morbid conditions during seasonal changes in the majority of young children. Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the palatine tonsils, one on each side of the throat on the back side. The tonsils act as an important component of the immune system to prevent diseases and infections Chronic tonsillitis has a global frequency of 4 to 15%; according to various authors, accounts for 23.7 percent of all pharyngeal disorders. Any infection usually hampers the development of the immune system and a child’s growth and development. When the attack occurs frequently, it becomes more noticeable. As a result, the digestive system and the throat’s airways become blocked. This leads to a constant infection of the tonsils. This disease is known as chronic tonsillitis. It is especially common in children. A peritonsillar abscess is a painful complication of the tonsils that is caused by inflammation of the tonsils and spreads to the surrounding tissue. Swallowing, opening the mouth, and breathing may be difficult. Recognizing the symptoms is very important for immediate treatment. Tonsillitis can cause middle ear infection, ear pain, hearing loss, and fever. Tonsillitis is often caused by strep, a highly contagious virus, but can also be caused

Tonsillitis causes a sore throat that ranges from mild discomfort to severe pain, redness and swelling of the tonsils, white or yellow spots, loss of appetite, headache, fever, and fatigue. It can also cause swelling and tenderness in the lymph nodes in the neck. Medical practice is the treatment of health problems with non-invasive treatments, such as antibiotics, to benefit patients and prevent the development of antibiotic resistance. A tonsillectomy is an extreme treatment for the illness. In most cases, parents avoid surgery for fear of side effects, and the recurrence of tonsillitis makes tonsillitis chronic and vulnerable. Several health problems, such as laryngeal edema, hoarse voice, acute otitis media, angina pectoris, rheumatoid fever, and rheumatoid arthritis, are generally considered systemic complications Tundikeri mentioned in Ayurveda classics is a similar disease condition in origin, signs, and symptoms to Tonsillitis. Tundikeri is described in Sushruta Samhita’s Mukharoga Nidanasthan and Mukharoga Chikitsasthan under chapters 16 th and 22 nd , respectively. It is mentioned in the Ayurvedic texts Madhava Nidan, Astang Samgraha , and Astang Hridaya. The disease Tundikeri presents as swelling, caused by Kapha and Rakta with pricking pain, burning sensation, and suppuration. According to Acharya Sushruta, the swelling at the jaw joint in the throat, resembling Karpasa fruit (cotton), sticky, slightly painful, and hard to the touch is called Tundikeri . The causes identified by Acharya Vagabhatta as contributing to Tundikeri include excessive consumption of foods such as fish, buffalo, and boar meat, uncooked Mulaka (reddish), sleeping on one’s back ( Avak Shayya ), inadequate dental care ( Dwishato Dantadhavana ), poor Dhumapana ( Dhuma ), improper vomiting ( Chhardana ), improper gargling, and improper venesection ( Siravyadha ). Its signs and symptoms are Toda (Pricking pain), Shopha (Enlarged tonsils), Daha (Burning sensation), and Prapaka (Inflammation). Treatment for tonsillitis is limited due to antibiotic resistance, frequent attacks, and adverse side effects. Collaborating with healthcare providers and exploring alternative therapies, such as Ayurveda, can help address these issues. By ex - ploring alternate treatments and preventative methods for individualized Tundikeri care using Doshika predominance, symptoms, and signs from Ayurveda. Ayurveda offers various treatments options for tonsillitis, including Bhedana and Chhedana using the Mandalagra instrument. However, developing economical and safe formulations for Tundikeri patients is crucial to overcoming clinical problems, limitations, and side effects. Treatment protocols and procedures are mentioned in Ayurvedic texts, which are mainly described in two ways: medicinal and surgical. In medicinal procedures like Kawala, Gandusha, Pratisarana, Gutika, Bhasma, Guggulu, and Rasayoga therapy are implemented , and in Shashtra Kriya, they are Chhedana and Bhedana. 1.1.

51 Pushkar, et al .: Ayurvedic Management Drugs for Tonsillitis W.S.R. to Tundikeri 2024; 7(8): 47-53 4. DISCUSSION The management of tonsillitis, particularly chronic tonsillitis, through Ayurvedic approaches provides a comprehensive alternative to conventional treatments. Chronic tonsillitis, characterized by persistent inflammation and infection of the tonsils, poses signif - icant health challenges, especially in children. The recurrent nature of this condition often leads to systemic complications and hampers the overall growth and development of affected individuals. The Ayurvedic approach to treating tonsillitis, or Tundikeri, offers a multi-faceted strategy that includes both medicinal and surgical interventions. Ayurvedic texts describe Tundikeri as a condition marked by symptoms such as swelling, pricking pain, burning sensation, and suppuration, which are similar to those of chronic tonsillitis. The pathogenesis of Tundikeri involves Kapha Prakopa and Rakta Dushti , leading to obstruction and increased dampness in the throat region. Traditional treatments in Ayurveda focus on balancing the doshas, particularly Kapha and Pitta , which are often implicated in this condition. One of the primary benefits of Ayurvedic management is the use of natural and herbal remedies that possess various therapeutic properties. For instance, drugs such as Daruharidra, Haritaki, Ativisha, and Kanchanar exhibit anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory effects, which are crucial in reducing the symptoms and preventing the recurrence of tonsillitis. These herbs not only alleviate the inflammation and pain associ - ated with tonsillitis but also enhance the immune response, thereby reducing the frequency of infections. The local application of formulations like Tankana with Madhu, Haridradi Pratisarana, and various Kwathas (decoctions) helps in providing immediate relief from symptoms. These formulations are designed to reduce Kapha and Pitta, promote healing, and prevent the accumulation of Ama (toxins). Procedures such as Pratisarana (local application), Kawala (gargling), and Gandusha (holding liquid in the mouth) are effec - tive in directly addressing the affected area, providing symptomatic relief, and promoting overall oral health. Internally administered medicines, including Churnas (powders), Vatis (tablets), Bhasmas (calcined preparations), and Rasayogas (herbo-mineral formulations), offer systemic benefits. They work on various levels, from reducing inflammation and pain to enhancing the body’s immune defenses. For example, Yavaksharadi Vati and Kanchnar Guggul are noted for their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory proper - ties, making them suitable for managing chronic tonsillitis. The surgical approaches described in Ayurvedic texts, such as Bhedana (incision) and Chhedana (excision), are reserved for se - vere cases where medicinal treatments are insufficient. These proce - dures, performed using instruments like Mandalagra, aim to remove the obstructed material and restore normal function to the tonsils and surrounding tissues. The integration of Nidana Parivarjana (avoiding causative factors) into the treatment regimen emphasizes the importance of lifestyle and dietary modifications. Avoiding foods and behaviors that aggravate Kapha and Pitta is crucial in preventing the onset and recurrence of tonsillitis. By adhering to these principles, individuals can maintain a balanced state of health and reduce the likelihood of developing chronic conditions 5. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the Ayurvedic approach to managing Tundikeri (chronic tonsillitis) harnesses the potent properties of various herbs and formulations to provide a holistic and effective treatment. By employing a combination of carefully selected herbs and formulations, Ayurveda targets the root causes of the condition, such as excess Kapha and Pitta, while also addressing acute symptoms like swelling and pain. This comprehensive approach includes maintaining the equilibrium of all three doshas to prevent recurrence, promoting tissue repair and recovery, managing inflammatory re - sponses, reducing fever, and strengthening the immune system to lower the risk of future infections. Furthermore, the anti-microbial and antiviral properties of the chosen remedies ensure effective pathogen neutralization, preventing the spread and worsening of the condition. This comprehensive approach not only addresses the acute symptoms of Tundikeri but also fosters long-term health and immunity. By integrating these diverse properties, Ayurvedic med - icine offers a robust solution that treats the condition and prevents its recurrence, highlighting the efficacy and wisdom of Ayurvedic practices in managing chronic conditions like Tundikeri. Moreover, this approach sets a foundation for future health by promoting a balanced dosha state and enhancing the body’s natural defenses, ensuring resilience against infections and other health challenges Table No.7 RASAYOGA S.N.
