“…19 Another study demonstrated the effects of a 20 minute scalp massage on norepinephrine and cortisol. 20 In the study of Cambron et al, blood pressure was found to have decreased significantly after the performance of scalp massage in adults at the normotensive or prehypertensive stage. 21 In one of the study, nine healthy men received 4 minutes of standardized scalp massage per day for 24 weeks using a scalp massage device.…”

Background: Dandruff is a common disorder affecting the scalp caused by yeast Pityrosporum. Dandruff cannot be completely eliminated but can only be managed and effectively controlled. Dandruff can be compared to Darunaka (Dandruff) based on the features explained in Ayurvedic medicine. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the effects of shiro abhyanga with Prapoundarikadi taila and Karanja taila in the management of Darunaka. Design: This was a randomized comparative clinical study. In Group A, Prapoundarikadi taila shiroabhyanga (Head massage) and in Group B, Karanja taila shiroabhyanga (Head massage) was done for thirty days, daily once in the evening. After the completion of treatment, follow up was done once in fifteen days for a period of 2 months. Results: Statistically significant results were seen in the reduction of severity in kandu, Group A (50.98%) compared to Group B (26.53), (p<0.001), keshachyuti (p<0.001), Group A (41.30%), Group B (20.45%), rookshata Group A (49.05%) compared to Group B (36.53%) (p<0.001) and twak sputana with p<0.001, Group A (48.07%) compared to Group B (20%). Conclusions: Prapoundarikadi taila shiro abhyanga showed statistically significant results in pacifying the symptoms of Darunaka (Dandruff) and marked reduction in clinical symptoms within two months duration compared to karanja taila shiroabhyanga.

“…The quantities of cortisol in saliva were also very consistent through C1 to C6, and no significant difference was noted in any two periods. Kim et al ( 29 ) reported that blood pressure decreased when stress was reduced. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures are related to stress, as both blood pressures decreased concurrently when stress is reduced.…”

Effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) on salivary flow in healthy adults

Background Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a method used for enhancing suprahyoid muscle activity and is widely applied as a treatment for dysphagia. Patients often complain of saliva pooling in the pharynx during NMES. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in salivary flow during NMES. Material and Methods Twenty healthy adults participated in this study. Electrical stimulation was applied at constant strength for 60 minutes to the suprahyoid muscles using VitalStim®. Participants were examined under three conditions of NMES: sensory threshold plus 75% of the difference between sensory and pain thresholds (75% Stim), SensoryStim, and Sham. Saliva collections, using a 10-min spitting method, were performed seven times: before stimulation (S1), during stimulation (S2-S6), and 5 min after stimulation ended (S7). Results Significant differences were observed in saliva flow between S1 and S7, as well as S2 and S7 in 75% Stim. Conclusions This study indicates that an increase in saliva flow was promoted after NMES. Therefore, NMES may have effects on patients with xerostomia. Key words: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation, suprahyoid muscle, sensory threshold, pain threshold, saliva flow.

“…In accordance with previous study, the lack of oxygen supply to organs could increase stress, thereby increasing cortisol levels. 10 Based on the analysis of the correlation between salat and wudu on pH, flow rate and cortisol levels, it is found that an increase in pH is correlated with an increase in salivary flow rate, and cortisol level. An increase in salivary secretions increases pH to maintain oral health in order to retain homeostasis.…”

“…Sufficient salivary secretion results in an appropriate acidity (pH) to maintain oral health. 10 For instance, salat can decrease the sympathetic component and increase the parasympathetic component in autonomic nervous system (ANS). 11 Based on the description, there is a hypothesis that wudu and salat have effect on increasing salivary secretion through mechanical stimulation especially by gargling, ruku, and sujood which increase the flow of oxygen-rich blood.…”

The majority of Indonesian people are Muslim who perform the obligatory prayers five times each day known as salat. The series of activities in salat begins with wudu with a gargle movement that increases salivary secretion through mechanical stimulation. The movement of ruku and sujood when salat causes oxygen-rich blood to flow to the brain is well suited. When a person feels calmer and more psychically relaxed after performing salat and wudu, the parasympathetic nerves increase so normal cortisol levels can secrete more saliva which is aqueous with normal acidity (pH). Oral health will affect the overall health of the body. This study aimed to determine the effect of salat and wudu on the salivary flow rate, pH, and cortisol level as an indicator of oral health. The design of this study was the static group pretest and posttest design. The study was conducted by comparing the value of salivary flow rate, pH, and cortisol levels in 20 subjects consisting of 10 subjects as the treatment group and 10 subjects as the control. Saliva was collected without stimulation before and after salat activity for five minutes, followed by measurement of salivary flow rate and pH level. Salivary cortisol level was measured using Cortisol Assay Elisa kit with λ 540 nm. The results showed an increase in salivary pH, flow rate and cortisol level after the salat activity but there was no significant difference by Kruskal-Wallis test but there was a strong correlation using Kendall’s tau_b test. In conclusion, salat activity may have correlation with an increase in salivary pH, flow rate and cortisol level.
