ABSTRACT

The study was conducted on a sample of 110 teenagers (students and non-students) residing in different areas of Varanasi, India. The investigations have established significant relationship between the stress and undesirable and threatening environment. Also, coefficient of correlation between psychosocial stress and its psychological and behavioural outcomes was also assessed on Psychosocial Stress Questionnaire.

Reviewing decades of Ayurvedic research shows that there was not much progress in understanding the unique principles of Ayurveda - especially Dravyaguna (pharmacology of medicinal plants).

This is because the methodology of the Ayurvedic studies carried out are mainly a sort of mimicking modern drug study methods. Though this type of study helps in understanding/ reproving the pharmacological activity a drug may have, will not contribute in total understanding of the drug.
