Prostate cancer is a malignant (cancerous) tumour (growth) that consists of cells from the prostate gland. Generally, the tumour usually grows slowly and remains confined to the gland for many years. During this time, the tumour produces little or no symptoms or outward signs (abnormalities on physical examination). However, all prostate cancers do not behave similarly. Some aggressive types of prostate cancer grow and spread more rapidly than others and can cause a significant shortening of life expectancy in men affected by them.
Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in American men and the second leading cause of deaths from cancer, after lung cancer. According to the national cancer institute most recent estimates, 217,730 new cases of prostate cancer would be diagnosed in 2010 and 32,050 would die from the disease. (1)
Types:
• Adenocarcinoma • Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PIN) • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) • Prostate Carcinoma
Causes:
The specific causes of prostate cancer remain unknown.(2) A man's risk of developing prostate cancer is related to his age, genetics, race, lifestyle, medications, testosterone, sexually transmitted infections, Potential viral (A group of US researchers found XMRV (Xenotropic Murine leukemia Virus) protein expression in human prostate tumours,(3) environmental factors, such as cigarette smoking and diets that are high in saturated fat, seem to increase the risk of prostate cancer and other factors.(4) The primary risk factor is age. Prostate cancer is very uncommon in men younger than 45, but becomes more common with advancing age.
Signs and symptoms (5):
• A frequent need to urinate, especially at night • Difficulty starting or stopping the urinary stream • A weak or interrupted urinary stream • A painful or burning sensation during urination or ejaculation • Blood in urine or semen • Problems with sexual function and performance, such as difficulty achieving erection or painful ejaculation.
Screening tests:
• Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), a blood test • Digital Rectal Examination (DRE), a physical exam • Transrectal ultrasound • Transrectal biopsy • Transperineal biopsy • Serum tumour marker test • Radical inguinal orchiectomy
Treatment:
a) As per Modern Science:
Treatment of prostate cancer various options are available like, primarily surgery, radiation therapy, proton therapy. Other treatments, such as chemotherapy, cryosurgery, and high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) also exist, depending on the clinical scenario and desired outcome. Also some other alternative medicine treatments like herbal medicine, acupuncture etc. a) As per Modern Science: The following categories of herbs are combined in the treatment of prostate cancer; 1. Specific herbs for the urogenital system 2. Herbs having Lekhaniya and Bedhaniya tendencies, for breaking, down tumour 3. Herbs which balance tridosha
All therapy available for treatment of prostate cancer has many side effects. Among all herbal medicine is an important for complete treatment of the prostate cancer because it will balance the all tridosha and safer than other therapy.

Let’s take Control of Diabetes with Ayurveda
Diabetes is a life-threatening condition that causes 3 million deaths per year worldwide. People with diabetes lead a life that is dependent on a daily dose of insulin. They are also imposed a blanket ban on taking sugar and sugar-products.
However, the ancient science of Ayurveda believes that you do not need to constrict your lifestyle just because you are a Diabetic. Ayurveda offers an entire range of treatment, medicines as well as diet and lifestyle recommendations – that can help you lead a life that is not marred by Diabetes.
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes, or Diabetes Mellitus, is a chronic metabolic disorder in which the body is unable to make proper use of glucose, resulting in hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Excess glucose in the blood ultimately results in high levels of glucose being present in the urine (glycosuria). This increases the urine output, which leads to dehydration and increased thirst. Other symptoms include extreme tiredness, weight loss, blurred vision, itchy skin and repeated minor infections such as thrush and boils.
Glucose comes from the food we eat and is also made in liver and muscles. The blood carries glucose to all the cells in our body. Insulin, a chemical (a hormone) produced in pancreas, is responsible for the uptake of glucose into cells for energy. Decreased levels of insulin affects this mechanism leading to increased glucose in the blood stream.
Diabetes in Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, Diabetes Mellitus is known as Madhumeha; Madhu means ‘honey’ and Meha means ‘urine’, i.e., urine that has sugar in it. Ayurveda talks about Madhumeha under a broad term called Prameha (pra means excessive and meha means urine). All factors, whether it is genetic, environmental, or body constituency, are taken into account. It can be related to: Kaphaj (caused by aggravation of Water element), Pittaj (caused by aggravation of Fire element) or Vataj (caused by aggravation of Air element). Medhumeha comes in the third category – Vataj Meha. Vata is an Ayurvedic humour, which symbolizes wind and dryness. Deterioration is a feature of aggravated Vata. Maximum deterioration of dhatus (body tissues) occurs in this type of Prameha due to aggravation of Vata. This is the reason why all vital organs are affected by Diabetes.
The other prime cause of diabetes mellitus is impaired digestion. Impaired digestion leads to accumulation of specific digestive impurities which accumulate in the pancreatic cells and impair the production of insulin.
Treatment of Diabetes
Ayurveda does not regard Diabetes as a disease that can be treated by mere medicine or by a dietary regimen. Madhumeha is classified as a Maha Rog (Major Disease) because, if not treated in time, it can lead to several complications in the body, including eye problems, joint pains, impotency, kidney failure, sexual and urologic problems, and more.        Diabetes is a metabolic disorder; it cannot be merely treated by controlling sugar levels. The treatment recommended in Ayurveda – as against modern medicine – is aimed at rejuvenating the entire body to not only balance sugar levels, but also ensure that no further complication is caused.        The Ayurvedic treatment for this disease is based on an entire change in the lifestyle of the person. Along with medication and diet, the patient is also advised to lead a healthy lifestyle and live an active life. Dietary and lifestyle changes rejuvenate the body’s cells and tissues, allowing them to produce insulin properly. Even mental aspects of the disease are stressed upon in Ayurveda. Most Vataja disorders originate in the brain, and since Madhumeha is classified as Vataja, it is highly important to keep the brain in its right manner of functioning.        Ayurveda is closely knit with Yoga for the treatment and control of Diabetes. For example, the Paschimottanasana is highly recommended for patients of Madhumeha. Panchakarma, the Ayurvedic treatment procedures, is also extremely beneficial for Diabetic patients, as it helps in rejuvenating the body and giving strength to weakened body muscles.        In essence, Ayurveda does not restrict its treatment to controlling sugar levels in a Diabetic patient. It works on the root cause of the disease; strengthening the patient’s immunity, enhancing digestion and helping him lead an overall healthy life.

A Novel Herbal approach to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) – Ural BPH Capsule
This capsule is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia that occurs in older men. The prostate is a small gland that sits just below the bladder. It is approximately walnut sized and is one of the important parts of male reproductive system. It is located below the bladder and is wrapper around the urethra. It opens into the urethra and secreted an alkaline fluid that makes up a part of the semen that helps carry the sperms. During orgasm prostate muscles contract and propel (encourage) ejaculate out of the penis. Under various stresses it can swell up and this obstructs the flow of urine out of the bladder.

1. Anti-obesity and anti-adipogenic activity :
It is found that that Garcinia cambogia-derived (-)-hydroxycitric acid (HCA) is a safe, natural supplement for weight management. HCA is a competitive inhibitor of ATP citrate lyase, a key enzyme which facilitates the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol and triglycerides. Garcinia extract also inhibits the cytoplasmic lipid accumulation as well as adipogenic differentiation of preadipocytes. Further human studies have been warranted.1
2. Hypolipidemic activity :
It has also been examined that an administration of Flavonoids from Garcinia cambogia, significantly lowered lipid levels in rats, fed normal and cholesterol containing diets. β-Hydroxy β-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A reductase showed significant reduction in normocholesterolemic rats.2

Hair Fall is a normal process upto a certain extant. On an average 60 – 80 hair fall a day is normal, but more than that is abnormal and is a reason to worry. Approximately 45% of hair disorders are comes under this category. It can affect both Male and Female, but more presence in Males, in females thining of hair is it's symbol Hair Loss can be differentiated in 5 major types such as :-
Androgenic Alopecia or Male-pattern baldness: Accounts for 95% of all hair loss
Alopecia Aerata: Hair falls out in clumps or patches
Alopecia totalis: Complete Baldness
Alopecia Universalis: Complete loss of all body hair
Anagen Effluvium: Chemotherapy caused poisoning of hair follicle

Male Pattern Baldness: Androgenic alopecia, or male-pattern baldness (MBP) accounts for 95 % of all hair loss and starts when an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase in a hair follicle combines with testosterone. The enzyme changes testosterone into a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

It is believed that DHT causes the hair follicle to shrink until the hair grows thinner and smaller – until it eventually disappears altogether.

Male and Female pattern hair loss is due to the effect of DHT, among the people who are genetically linked with baldness. This is also the cause of hair loss in women.

Hair Root exposed to DHT enter the resting phase and begin to shrink. Eventually the root becomes so weak and shallow, the scalp can no longer sustain hair growth.

The damaged hair roots are not necessarily dead, however, and may be induced to resume growth with proper stimulation and nutrition.

Reasons for Hair Loss: Hair Loss may happen due to :-

Thyroid or Liver disease
Liver or Kidney failure
Anesthesia
Childbirth
Starting or stopping birth control pills
Very high fever
Severe Stress and Tension
Anemia
