Spent cumin (SC), generated from Ayurvedic industry, was evaluated for its nutraceutical potential in terms of antioxidant, antidiabetic and anticancer properties, and compared with that of the raw cumin (RC). SC and RC seeds were extracted with ethyl acetate (E) and methanol (M). SCM (methanol extract) were rich in p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, ellagic acid and cinnamic acid (6.4445, 5.8286, 2.1519, 4.3085 mg/g dry extract). SCM reduced Fe ion (89.68 µM AA/g dry weight), scavenged DPPH radical (IC-238.6 µg/mL), better α-amylase inhibition (IC-337.22 µg/mL) and glucose uptake activity in 30.7% of L6 cells. SCM inhibited viability, retarded migration area up to 41.02%, arrested cell cycle at S phase and induced apoptosis in 2.45% of HT29 colon cancer cells. The results indicated that dietary interventions using nutraceutical food formulation made out of SC can play a significant role in the prevention and management of degenerative diseases.

The increasing demand for soft robotic systems in agricultural, biomedical and other applications has driven the development of actuators that can mimic the flexibility and adaptability of human muscles. Several studies have explored the design and implementation of soft actuators for robotic applications, however, there is a need for soft actuators demonstrating delicate gripping capabilities but also excel in specific biomedical applications, such as therapeutic massaging. The objective of this work is to develop a multi-finger soft pneumatic actuator mimicking human fingers for Ayurvedic therapeutic massaging and gripping applications.

Chittodvega, classified as a Mano-Vikara (psychological disorder) in Ayurveda, can be correlated with general anxiety disorder. The disturbance of Vata Dosha plays a critical role in its manifestation. Ayurvedic treatments such as Abhyanga (oleation) and Shirodhara (dripping of medicated oil or other suitable liquid on forehead) are known to pacify Vata.

A narrative review of chronic periodontitis, a dysfunctional inflammatory disease of the gums finds it is linked to over 60 systemic diseases and has been shown to reduce lifespan. Termed dantamoolaroga in Ayurvedic medicine, the causative vitiated doshas for the 17 types of dantamoolaroga have been described and give leads as to systemic imbalances behind the diseases. By improving periodontal (gum) health, improvements in type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and other chronic inflammatory markers have been shown.
