Remedies


Arthritis
Arthritis involves inflammation of one or more joints of the body and breakdown of cartilage that normally protects the joint. There are several different types of arthritis .The most common are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the joints that commonly occurs with aging.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the joints and surrounding tissues, but can also affect other organ systems.

In Ayurveda arthritis is referred to as “Sandhigada Vatham”.

Symptoms:
1. Pain and tenderness of the joints.
2. Swelling around the joints.
3. Stiffness lasting for a short time after period of inactivity.
4. Restricted joint movements.
5. Enlarged or distorted joints.
6. Crackling noise (called crepitus) on moving the affected joints.
7. In many cases referred pain can also develop from the affected site.

Recommendations:
In Ayurveda systematic management aimed at controlling swelling, making the life channels of immunity flow (srothosodhanam), repairing damaged tissues nourishing the joints are the basic concepts utilized as per the disease and the diseased condition.
Diabetes Mellitus:
Diabetes is a clinical syndrome characterized by increase in Blood glucose level (hyperglycemia) due to absolute or relative deficiency of insulin. In Ayurveda, the presence of glucose in urine and blood is referred to as “Madhumeham” (there are 20 types of meha diseases).

Diabetes is classified as:
A)Primary :
Type 1 (Insulin dependant)
Type 2 (Non insulin dependant)
B)Secondary :
1.Due to diseases of pancreas
2.Due to hormonal defect in insulin production.
3.Due to medicines.(eg: Cortico steroids)
4.Liver diseases.
5.Genetic disorders.(in HLA Class 4 gene)
Madhumeham is caused by a) Dhathukshayam (degeneration of Dhathu) and b) Avaranam (engulfment over Doshas). In Insulin dependant diabetes the causative factors identified are genetic factors, virus, diet , immunological factors and pancreatic diseases. In type 2, insulin resistance, life style, obesity, hereditary aspects, pregnancy etc are decisive. In studies it is now known that the increase in the incidence of this disease is directly proportional to modern urban life style, fast food, lack of exercise free regime, mental tension and preservatives, sweeteners, food additive chemicals etc. That is why diabetes is identified as the king of “life style diseases”. Ayurveda clearly defines how defective life style can precipitate diabetes mellitus.

Symptoms:
1.Excessive urination
2.Thirst and a dry mouth
3.Fatigue
4.Vision blurring

Recommendations:
In any system of Medicine the goal of treatment is to maintain the sugar level in the blood in normal limit. This can be achieved by stimulation of healthy beta cells, reducing hepatic secretion of glucose and reduce insulin resistance. Some medicines impair glucose absorption from diet.

In Ayurveda the treatment for diabetes is ‘systematic’ rather than symptomatic. Dosha sodhanam, Samanaushadham and Rasayanam is recommended. Diet, regime restrictions and exersise preferably yoga is as important as medicines. Several cases had been cured from this desease by adopting Ayurvedic treatment which may not be common, due to the holistic approach to this disease.
