The Role of the Mana in Multitasking and Its Physiological Impact in the Present Era

Dr. Aishwarya Pandey, and Prof. Ashok Kumar Sharma,DOI: 10.24214/IJGHC/HC/14/1/00105.

From day to day, everyone is too busy to Manage their lives. Hence, multitasking is a common practice involved by individuals in this era. It does save our time, but does it have any impact on health, whether psychologically or physically. From physiological prospectus one can understand the concept of Mana, the entity which makes the sensory organ  to connect with their respective stimulus or  motor  organ  to take action / regulates the action of Karmendriya. Manas is the connecting link between the Atma  with Sharir  and  hence influences  both.  Mana subtlety makes it move quickly and conjugate with the sense organs so quickly that it appears as though all sensory impressions are occurring concurrently at the same moment and that it is simultaneously connected to all Indriyas. Nevertheless, it only connects to one Indriya at a time. This demonstrates its Ekatva quality. Multitask is to work on two or more tasks at once, to switch between tasks often, or to complete several jobs quickly one after the other. Here by understanding the physiology of Mana, one can understand its role in multitasking and it’s physical and psychological effect on individual. As Mana has major a role in  keeping  healthy  status  as  well  as  in  disease production

Influence of Geographical Variation in the hytochemistry of Adhatoda vasica leaves

Savitha Balan and Sreela R,DOI: 10.24214/IJGHC/HC/14/1/00612.

Adhatoda vasica (Vasa) leaf is a common bronchodialator in Ayurveda.  It has several quinazoline alkaloids which has high therapeutic values, especially, vasicine.  It also contains essential oils, vitamins, steroids and many fatty acids.  In this work an attempt was made to compare the effect of geographical variation in the Physico-chemical values of Adhatoda vasica leaves collected from different geographical regions of Trivandrum District, the capital of Kerala.  The study also extends to compare the quantity of vasicine content in these samples using HPTLC fingerprinting

Exploring the Anti-Inflammatory and Anticancer Activities of Curcumin-Free Turmeric Components: Insights into the Synergistic Effects of Turmeric's Bioactive Compounds

Nithya Selvaraj, Kanaga Palanisamy, Prema Rathinam, Senthilkumar Chelladurai, Premkumar Panneer Pandiyan , Chandrasekharan Padmanaban and Odaya Kumar Paramasivan,DOI: 10.24214/IJGHC/HC/14/1/01325

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has been historically celebrated for its medicinal properties, with curcumin being the primary bioactive compound studied for its anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. However, turmeric contains a diverse array of bioactive compounds that are not curcumin, which also contribute significantly to its therapeutic efficacy. This review explores the anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities of curcumin-free components, such as essential oils (turmerones), flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol), and polysaccharides. Through a detailed examination of these compounds' molecular mechanisms and their synergistic effects, this review highlights the emerging therapeutic potential of curcumin-free turmeric constituents in treating chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer. Furthermore, clinical and preclinical evidence supports the idea that these bioactive compounds, particularly when combined, may have enhanced therapeutic effects over curcumin alone.
