Juniper Publishers-Journal of Complementary Medicine Introduction Nowadays, nanotechnology is a most promising amphitheatre for generating new applications in biotechnology and Nanomedicine [1]. Among several nanoproducts, a most prominent nanoproduct is nano silver. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have become increasingly popular as an antibiotic agent in textiles and wound dressings, medical devices and appliances, such as refrigerators and washing machines [2]. AgNPs have been used for antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory effects [3]. Green chemistry/Green synthesis is the design of chemical products or process that minimize the use hazardous chemical products and eliminate the environmental pollution. Therefore, green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles from biological sources instead of any other chemical products and from different methodologies is the promising and challenging field. Due to this reason, biological method ...

 Juniper Publishers- Journal of complementary medicine Abstract Objectives: This observational study investigated the antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant potential of Pterocarpus marsupium (Vijaysaar) and Gymnema sylvestre (Gudmar) (“VG”) Therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus were administered a phytochemical formulation consisting 50 ml of aqueous extract derived from 3 gm “VG” powder was administered twice a day for six months. The blood glucose levels were monitored at monthly intervals; glycosylated hemoglobin, lipid profile and biomarkers of oxidative stress, liver and kidney functions were monitored at three monthly intervals. Results: Daily administration of the “VG” Therapy regularly for 6 months resulted in significant reduction of blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels. There was also a significant increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels with c...

Juniper Publishers- Journal of complementary medicine Abstract Objectives: Developmental disorders present themselves with complex problems that may threaten the child’s development. In every child a disorder shows itself in a unique way, which makes it necessary to individualize. The objective of this study is to develop an instrument that provides a dimensional diagnosis by mapping the degree of (dis) balance on three domains of child development. The instrument is based on an anthroposophic anthropology and typology. Materials and methods: The typology of the child’s constitution is operationalized using concept mapping en consensus building with experts. In a pilot study the psychometric properties of the instrument were preliminary tested on children with developmental disorders in Dutch institutions. Results: The Instrument for diagnosis of a Child Constitution (ICC) consists of two parts. Part I contains 36 polar items in three subscales of 12 items, an...
