“…While complementary medicine refers to various therapies that supplement mainstream medicine, alternative medicine includes other systems of medicine that serve as a substitute for it. Ayurveda is one of the most popular alternative systems of medicine in India (Sarvesh et al, 2018). QRJ 22,3 I had seen my grandmother taking Ayurveda medications for her asthma and advising others about its benefits.…”

“…This classification, not related to physical temperature, is based on the thermal effects that these foods produce in the body and has health implications. Cold foods are believed to aggravate asthma by causing cough and increasing phlegm production (Sarvesh et al, 2018). I too follow these practices when any of my family members get a cough or cold.…”

“…Additionally, she ingested organic honey and would drink water boiled water with basil leaves. Unknowingly her remedies are evidence-based as ginger aids in bronchodilatation, basil leaves act as an expectorant and honey has the properties of being both mucolytic and an expectorant (Sarvesh et al. , 2018).…”

PurposeThis article aims to explore the meanings of positionality and demonstrate how reflective memos can illustrate positionality in a constructivist grounded theory (CGT) study.Design/methodology/approachAcknowledging the positionality of the researcher through a reflective approach is an essential element of CGT studies. The first author (IS) used reflective memoing in her CGT study on Indian immigrant children's asthma to practice reflexivity and make her positionality explicit. Through memos, IS acknowledges her knowledge, beliefs, practices, experience and pre-existing assumptions about the research topic. This article is a compilation of the reflective memos that IS wrote during the initial phase of her research and draws on her motivations as they relate to the topic under study in the context of current literature.FindingsThe reflective accounts of a researcher's background and experience can act as a lens for understanding the research question and the choice of methodology.Practical implicationsThis article may be useful to novice qualitative researchers who are struggling to define and establish their own positionality. John Dewey's and David Schon's works on reflective thinking serve as valuable tools to practice reflexivity. Philosophically underpinned reflections in the form of memos, employed from the outset and throughout the study, can enhance the study rigour by making research decisions transparent.Originality/valueThis article provides practical guidance on how to outline positionality at the outset of a CGT study.

“…In these approaches, the focus is placed on the perceived safety and reliability of herbal interventions in the treatment of chronic health disorders. ( Sarvesh et al, 2018 ) Bioactive compounds, including but not limited to curcumin, quercetin, guggulsterone, among others, play a crucial role in mitigating major chronic illnesses. These compounds, derived from various natural sources, exhibit therapeutic properties that have been linked to their ability to combat inflammation, oxidative stress, and other pathological processes associated with chronic diseases.…”

Background: Concomitant administration of herbal medicine and conventional may lead to severe metabolism-oriented herb-drug interactions. However, detecting herb-drug interaction is expensive and higher time-consuming. Several computer-aided techniques have been proposed in recent years to predict drug interactions. However, most of the methods cannot predict herb-drug interactions effectively. Methods: Canonical SMILES of bioactive compounds was gathered from the PubChem online database, and its inhibition details were gathered PKCSM from the webserver. Results: By searching the bioactive compound name in the search bar of “The Herb-CYP450 Enzyme Inhibition Predictor online database” (HCIP- http://hcip.in/), it will provide the liver enzyme inhibition profile of the selected bioactive compound. For example; Guggulsterone: CYP3A4 inhibitor. Conclusion: The Herb-CYP450 Enzyme Inhibition Predictor online database is very peculiar and easy to determine the inhibition profile of the targeted bioactive compound. Keywords: CYP450; Enzyme inhibition; Bioactive Compounds; Online database; Herb-Drug Interaction
