Abstract:

Lifestyle diseases are linked with the way people live their life. This is commonly caused by lack of physical activity and unhealthy eating as per our understanding. A healthy lifestyle must be adapted to combat the various diseases like diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, live diseases, heart diseases, COPD etc. with a proper balanced diet and physical activity. Ayurveda analyze the body constitution and the existing health problems of the individual before suggesting a proper food and lifestyle advice. Every human is being a unique individual, full of idiosyncrasies and peculiarities. Ayurvedic principles of health and disease revolve around the concept of 3 doshas - Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These are three active energy forces that govern the functions of our body and mind. Although every individual has the three doshas, each of us inherits them in differing proportions. This accounts for our differences in appearance, preferences, aversions, behavioral patterns and emotional tendencies. On account of these differences, Ayurveda categorize human into 7 basic body types. The results of a lifestyle modification differ from person to person as per their body type. The basic knowledge of the body type helps one to determine the most auspicious lifestyle that will ensure health and longevity, appropriate foods, herbs, exercise regimes, medicines, therapies and even suitable professions. Ayurveda firmly believes that the health of a person depends on his or hers connection with nature. Ayurveda offers various methods to manage lifestyle disorders by following daily regimens, seasonal regimens, herbal medicines, Panchakarma (detox therapies) and or with help of Rasayana (Tonics).

Abstract:

The SCIO/EDUCTOR Quantum Technologies & Therapies based on Quantum Physics, Biofeedback and Bioresonance are designed to detect and reduce STRESS (physical, mental, emotional, social, environmental), the main cause of disease in the world today. The SCIO/EDUCTOR Bioresonance & Biofeedback device makes it possible to query the body for its most acute and chronic imbalances and to correct these stressors with focused energetic therapies.The main premises of Bioresonance & Biofeedback therapies are:
• The energetic body is the matrix of the physical body. Heal energetic blockages and the biochemistry of the body will change.
• The body is electrical in nature, therefore reactivity to stressors in the body can be measured electrically. Health can be measured!
• The body is innately intelligent and it has the ability to heal itself if the right conditions or stimuli (frequencies) are provided.
• Electromagnetic frequencies (micro-currents) can be used to re-establish the electrical and biochemical functions of the body to restore the integrity of the tissue and promote healing.
Frequency therapies as used in SCIO/EDUCTOR technologies are holistic, personalized, efficient, safe, painless, drug-free, without side-effects, in harmony with the environment and scientifically based. They are, unquestionably, an alternative to the over-medicalization which prevails today in our health systems all over the world. Offering over 500 assisted-by computer Biofeedback therapies, it is the largest Healthcare software package in the world, combining both Eastern and Western philosophies and techniques.Join us for this presentation where we will demonstrate some of the most powerful functionalities of this SCIO/EDUCTOR device.

Abstract:

Chlorella species are becoming increasingly popular. Around 1940, scientists from industrialised nations already recognised the outstanding physic nutritional potential of Chlorella microalgae. The constituents such as Chlorophyll, unsaturated fatty acids, peptides amino acids, polysaccharides glycoproteins, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals are contributing to Chlorella’s physiological properties: detoxification through biosorption and stimulation of phase two biotransformation, immuno-modulation, enhancement sugar and lipid metabolism… Chlorella has been traditionally cultivated in Asia in open ponds. Since 2000, Chlorella has been cultivated (with a biotechnology awarded patented) in Germany in a photobioreactor made of closed glass tubes system (zero contamination, optimal photosynthesis). Only a Chlorella with highest purity can bring all expected health properties: free from heavy metals and toxins, intact cell walls preserve all nutrients from oxidation.

Nasmeer M S M has completed his MD in Unani Medicine from National Institute of Indigenous Medicine, Bangalore-India and Honors in Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery from Institute of Indigenous Medicine, University of Colombo, Sri Lanka. He has attended several national and international conferences. He is currently working as a Senior Lecturer and also as the Head of the Department of Ilmul Advia (Unani Pharmacology).

Abstract:

Traditional Medicine is deeply rooted in history and culture of Sri Lankans. It is a part of the traditions of country, employing healing practices hails from generation to generation. A common feature of most systems of traditional medicine is that they take a holistic approach in promoting health, preventing diseases and helping to regularize physical, emotional, mental aspects and living environment. Asians have an ancient heritage of Traditional Medicine with full of rich folklore remedies. Thus, it plays an important role in providing primary health care service to 60% to 70% of the Sri Lankan population. There is an enormous treasure of knowledge on traditional medicine embedded in vast number of literatures, particularly in the form of hand written manuscripts such as Ola leaves and Veda Kawi (traditional poem) with Veda Geta (secret code). However, lack of awareness, improper dissemination, inadequate knowledge about the traditional medicine and their principles are major lacuna for the proper exploitation of benefits of this system of medicine. Therefore, evaluation of the rich heritage of the traditional medicine on the basis of literatures with special reference to phytochemical, pharmacological and analytical studies such as microscopy, chromatography of some precious traditional remedies is essential. The objective of this study is to identify scientifically proven, safe and effective traditional remedies and to promote their use among general public with sound scientific basis. Further, this study is to suggest technical guidelines for the preparation of these medicines that would satisfy the established of international standards in the field of herbal medicines. Therefore, this study will not only pave the way for the protection and preservation of treasure of our traditional medicine but also effectively integrate our traditional practice with other system of medicine, in order to provide primary health care services to the nations.

Abstract:

Drought is among the most common agricultural stresses that significantly influence both growth and metabolic activities of plants. In this study an aromatic herb Eriocephalus africanus L. (Asteraceae) was cultivated under diverse watering regimens alongside foliar spraying with a plant hormone, Salicylic Acid (SA), at three concentrations (1, 2 and 3 mM) to observe the effect of drought stress and SA on its secondary metabolites. Total Flavonoid and Polyphenol contents (TFC and TPC, respectively) were calculated. TFC was raised by 54% in drought stressed plants sprayed with the highest SA concentration (3 mM) relative to control plants. Likewise, TPC increased by 35% in the same treatments. Consequently, the DPPH radical scavenging activity improved more than two-folds in the same treatment relative to control plants. UPLC-ESIMS/ MS profiles of the extracts of control plants were compared to those of treatment with highest TPC. Among identified polyphenols, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid predominated in both samples, although detected in a greater percentage in the treated plants. The essential oil was hydro-distilled from the aerial parts of plants from all treatments; highest yield (1.05±0.03% v/w) was obtained from drought stressed plants sprayed 2 mM SA. Artemisia ketone prevailed in the GC/MS chromatograms of all oil samples, with highest yield (42%) recorded in plants sprayed with the same SA concentration.
