I know most of people think that MBBS and BAMS are totally different courses but I don't think so. For example, in first year bams we have Rachana Sharir (anatomy),kriya sharir (physiology),and PV, Astang hrudya , sanskrit subjects and in 1st year MBBS you have anatomy, physiology and biochemistry so anatomy and physiology are same.

In second year BAMS subject are Rognidanwhich is equivalent to pathalogy in MBBS, dravya gun which is basically pharmacology ,and ayurvedic subjects like ras and bhaisajya kalpana , charak samhita purvardh.In third year BAMS we have balrog(paediatric), strirog(gynecology and obstetrics) ,agad tantra(toxicology and forensic) , swasthvritta and yoga , charak samhita uttarardh

2. Study of how to make medicine out of your surrounding plants

The subject dravya gun we have all the medicinal plants, their information ,their use on different diseases,how it is used and in ras and bhaisajya you will study how to make medicine out of that plant or combination of different medicines etc.In addition you also study modern pharmacology, drugs, their actions etc .

3. Have your own pharmacy

If you don't want to practice as doctor you can simply open your own ayurvedic pharmacy. And now a days people are turning towards ayurvedic medicine and products . So you have one more option after completing your BAMS.

4. You can do MD (Masters in Medicine)

After Under Graduation(UG) you can go for Post Graduation (PG) and specialization in any subject you want like anatomy, physiology , or gynecology or paediatric or Panchakarma etc.

5. You can practice Ayurveda

You can practice only ayurveda like Panchakarma but in order to perform panchakarma you have to study lot , and Panchakarma can earn you more money than general practice.

6. Options after completing BAMS

You can have your own clinic if you want . You can get job at any government or private college as teacher. Or you can get job at PHC , government and private hospital as doctor.

CONCEPT OF SLEEP (NIDRA)

From The Vault: Dr. Srinibash Sahoo , Dr. G.V. Ramana -  Research officers (Ay) Dr. B. Chandrasekhara Rao - Asst. Director (Ay), A.R.unit, NIMHANS, Banglore-29 Dr. Manjushree Sahoo  -  Lecturer, Sri Nrushinganatha Ayurveda College, Paikamala, Orissa Introduction: About one third of our Lives we spend asleep. Through the ages, sleep has occupied a special place in human concern . Ayurveda has also given more importance by considering it one among Trayopasthambha. Other Samhitas and Upanishadas were also detail described regarding Nidra utpatti type and its importance .Yet in modem era only for the last half century it becomes the most universal subject of h uman concern to examine its mysteries and mechanisms. Derivation: Nidra is derived from the root "Dra" with a prefix 'Ni ' . The root "Dra" means undesired. Therefore Nidra is considered as a state in which there will be no desire. This is also a state of nature, which causes encapsulation to the consciousness of the person. Synonyms: Shayanam, Svapah, Svapnam, Sambashah (Amarakosa ) Sambasaha Suptih , S vapnam ( Vaidyak a Sabdhasindhu ) Susupti (Manduka Upanisad ) Nidra: The mythological story tells that the evolution is set in when Sristikarta Brahma is in awakened state and the destruction (Pralaya ) occurs when he goes to sleep. So sleep of Brahma is a destructive state for living beings but for living beings in the world including plants, the sleep is essential like food, water and air. So the scholars of Ayurveda has given importance to t h e sleep by consider i n g i t one among Trayopa sthambha and discussed i ts role i n maintenance of life (Ch. Su. 1135). Sleep is mentioned as one among the thirteen Adharaneeya Vegas. (Ch. Su. 7/4, A.H.Su.4/1). The happiness, nourishment , strength , virili ty, knowledge and life depends on the proper or adequate sleep (Ch.Su. 21/36). Charaka has called the Sleep as Bhuta Dhatri which occurred by nature of Night, that nourishes all the livil)g beings. Sushruta has mentioned it as a Svabhavika Roga ( Ch.Su. 21158-59, Su. Su.417). The timely taken sleep is an indicator of good health because it brings the normalcy in body tissues and relaxes the person (K.S.Khi 417). Like Aahara the adequate sleep is essential for maintenance of the body ( Ch.Su. 21151) . Sushruta called Nidra as Vaishnavimaya on a metaphoric language which is a physiological process and provides nourishment to the living body and maintains the health (Su.Sha.4133). Yogaratnakara has mentioned 4 natural instincts or basic needs for the human being. These are desire to take food, water, sleep and sexual pleasure ( Y.R. Pu.kh.164). Bhavaprakasha has described importance of sleep in fetal life. He has emphasized that the fetus in the womb enjoys better rest and comfort when the mother sleeps during pregnancy (B.P. Vol-1, Chapter Ill. Sloka No.- 317). Definition of Nidra : Nidra cannot be explained in a concise form. From the time immemorial it is a question in every mind that what is sleep, how it occurs and what is its role in health. Though there are various views regarding sleep but all considered it as one of the essential function for the living beings. Different opinions are as follows: (i) Sleep is the mental operation having the cognition of absence for its grasp.. The commentator fyasa made it clear that the sleep is a state of unconsciousness, but the consciousness remains about his own unconsciousn( fyasa on Patanjali Yogasutra.Samadhi Pada - 10). (ii) According to Manduka Upanishad Nidra is a condition in which "Atma" does not have any desire for any thing and it is called "Susupti" and also does not dream anything (Manduka Upanishad) (iii) Chhandogya Upanishad said the state in which the mind is unaware about surroundings and does not see any dreams is called Supta or Nidra ( Chha.Up. 8-6-3) (iv) Sleep is nothing but the temporarily loses the contact with Jnanendriya and Karmendriya which is termed as Nidra (Su.Su. 15140). (v) Nidra is the state of life where Jnanendriaya and Kannendriaya are not doing their functions (S.S.M). (vi) Nidra is the state where mind and intellects are at rest (S.K.). (vii) Nidra is the phenomenon which occurs usually with Samyoga of Ratri ( Vachaspatyam). (viii)Sharngadhara mentions that Nidra is a state where predominance of Kapha and Tamas is seen (Sa. Pu.Kh.614). (ix) Adhamalla defines Nidra as the state in which the Tamoguna combines with Kapha. He further says Mohavastha of Indriya and Mana is called as Nidra. (x) Dalhana states that Nid ra is the state of combination of mind and intellectual in which the person feel s happy ( Dalhana on Su.Su. ] 51 Chapter). Nidra Utpatti: Since the down of the civilization the thinkers of various countries in the world have tried to study the sleep, its nature and causes which is a mysterious thing. But in India our ancient Acharyas had clear idea regarding the physiology of sleep but explained in different manners. So these different explanations regarding the phenomenon of Nidra may be classified under 3 groups. i) Upanishad concept ii) Yogic concept iii) Ayurvedic concept i) Upanishad concept a) It was imagined by these ancient seers that Atma moves from Hridaya through the Nadis and get lodged inside the Puritata which is a membranous sac around the Hridaya, then the sleep follows (Chha. Up. 81613 & 61811). b) Nidra occurs when Atma goes to rest in the.space inside the Hridaya (Br. Ar. Up. 211117-19) ii) Yogic concept a) The yogic philosophers in India have given explanations regarding sleep and also explained the samadhi state which resembles with sleep but is entirely different. They studied the 'Yoganidra' a yogic phenomena pertaining to various states associated with Atma. They have termed these states as- Jag ratavastha -waking consciousness Svapnavastha - Dreaming Susuptavastha - Dreamless sleep Turiyavastha -Conscious dreamless sleep b) Maharshi Patanjali states sleep is a state in which all activities, thoughts and feelings come to an end. In sleep the senses of perception rests in mind causing cessation of their functions as mind is also at rest. iii) Ayurvedic concept: Several concepts have been put forward by our ancient Ayurvedic Acharyas in their texts to explain the phenomenon of Nidra which can be studied under following headings. a) Tamoguna theory 1. Sushruta explains Utpatti of n dra by giving i mportance to Hridaya which is considered as Chetana Sthana. When Chetana Sthana Hridaya is over come or enveloped by Tamas, the person goes to sleep ( Su.Sha. 4134) . 2. Astanga Hridaya states that at night, Tamas being powerful and the higher psychic centers being over powered by it, then the living organism goes to sleep (A.H.Su. 9128). 3. Accordi ng to Ka shyapa the Satvag una is P rakashata (brigh teni n g), Raja g una i s Prava rtaka (promoter) and Tama g una i s Niyamaka (controller). So predominance of Tamoguna than Satva and Raja is the prime cause for sleep (Ka.Sa.Su.28). 4. Harita has stated that the center of sleep is in the upper half part of nose, between the two eye brows in the cranium. When the Tamas reaches the sleep center the knowledge and the activity get diminished and sleep occurs . (H.S.Sha. ] 51 Chp.). b) Kapha Dosa Theory 1) Sushruta mentions that when the Sanjavaha srotas are filled with Kapha and Indriyas are deprived from their respective objects of senses, the person goes to sleep. He also clearly mentions the role of Kapha and Tama for Nidra Utpatti (Su.Sha.416, 33). 2) Bhela explains that Kapha situated in Hridaya is augmented during the process of digestion of food, during day time and when covers the Chakshu vaha and Shrotra vaha Srotas, it leads to sleep (B.S.Chi. 2111-6). 3) Astanga Sangraha states that due to Avarana by Shlesma of the Srotas and Shrama of both types of the Indriyas occur which dissociates from their respective senses then Nidra occurs (A.S.Su.917). 4) Astanga Hridaya describes that whenever the sensation conveying channels of the body are blocked or filled up by the Shleshma and when this Shleshma is over saturated with the Tamasika quality the living being gets sleep. (A.H. Su. 8128). c) Fatigue theory This theory is mainly stated by Aatreya school of Ay ur veda and both Astang a Sang raha and Astanga Hridaya followed this view. 1) Charaka states that when the mind including Jnanendriya and Kannendriya are exhausted they dissociate themselves from theirobjects, and then the individual sleeps ( Ch. Su. 21135). 2) Vagbhata gives importance to the Kapha Dosha and Shrama of the lndriya and Manas in the normal onset of sleep (A.S.Su. 917). 3) Due to exertion, Jnanendriya and Karmendriya cannot cognise their respective objects, then sleep is said to occur according to Bhavaprakash (B.P. Chi. 2111-6) . This opinion suggests that sleep is a phenomenon resulting out of mental tiredness. d) Svabhava Ayurveda always gives emphasis on nature or Svabhava According to this description even though we considered various theories still the natural instinct appears to be more powerful cause than others. Charaka and Sushruta have mentioned by nature, the night serves as a causative factor for sleep (Ch. Su. 21135, Su. Sha. 4133). Types of Sleep: Various Acharyas have given various opinions regarding the types of sleep. But broadly it can classify into 2 types. 1) Svabhavika Nidra - which comes regularly and naturally at night. 2) Asvabhavika Nidra - which comes due to some other causes. Other types of Nidra according to different Acharyas are as follows: 1) According to Acharya Charaka - a) Tamobhava b) Shleshmasamudbhava c) & (d) Manashareera Shrama Sambhava e) Agantuki f) Vyadhyanuvartini g) Ratri svabhava ( Ch.Su. 21158) 2) Acharya Sushruta classifies as follows: A) Tamasi b) Svabhavika I Vaishnavi c) Vaikarika (Su.Sha. 4143) 3) Vagbhata's classification of sleep is similar with Charak's classification but the names differ. a) Tamobhava b) Kaphabhava c) Chittakhedaja d) Dehakhedaja e) Agantuki t) Kalasvabhava • g ) Amayaja Vyadhyanuvartini: In some diseases due to severe weakness the patient falls asleep called Vyadhyanuvartini. Example Sannipataja Jvara. Agantuki: Someti mes the cau se of sleep remam s unexplainable. Chakrapani and Gangadhar commented as Agantuki Nidra is indicative of bad prognosis which leading to definite death (Arista lakshana) ( Chakrapani & Gangadhar on Ch. Su 21158). Benefits of Sleep: 1) Properly and timely taking sleep brings the happiness, nourishment, strength, virility, knowledge and maintains the life (Ch.Su. 21136). 2) As the real knowledge brings about siddhi in a yogi similarly properly intake of sleep brings about happiness and longevity in human beings (Ch.Su. 21138). 3) Proper sleeping at the night time makes the balance of the body constituents (Dhatusamyata) and provides alertness, good vision, good complexion, good strength and good digestive power ( Y.R. & B.P. Pu.
