Diabetes Mellitus correlates with the Ayurvedic condition Prameha specifically the subtype Madhumeha or honey urine. It is primarily a disorder of over saturation caused by sedentary lifestyles and heavy diets that vitiate Kapha dosha and fat tissue. Key symptoms include excessive turbid urination and thirst. Ayurveda classifies twenty types based on the dominant dosha involved. Management distinguishes between obese and lean patients. Obese individuals require bio cleansing therapies like Vamana and Virechana alongside physical exercise and a light diet featuring barley. Lean patients require careful nourishment. Classical remedies include Shilajit, Turmeric with Amalaki, and Triphala. While early stages are curable chronic cases involving Vata are considered difficult to treat requiring lifelong management.
Disease A to Z
Alopecia known in Ayurveda as Indralupta or Khalitya is a condition characterized by hair loss caused by a systemic imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas. According to classical texts like Madhava Nidana vitiated Pitta combined with Vata scorches the hair roots causing them to fall out while Kapha and impure blood subsequently block the follicles preventing regrowth. Excessive intake of salt is a specific dietary cause linked to premature baldness. Management focuses on clearing obstructions and cooling the scalp. Treatments include bio-cleansing therapies like Nasya using medicated oils like Anu Taila to strengthen follicles Shirodhara for stress reduction and the application of stimulating herbal pastes containing ingredients like Gunja and Karanja to break the Kapha blockage and induce hair growth.
Disease A to Z
Stomach cancer correlates with the Ayurvedic concepts of Amashayagata Arbuda and Gulma representing a deep seated gastric tumor or abdominal lump. It originates from the vitiation of Kapha and Vata doshas damaging muscle and blood tissues often triggered by incompatible foods and chronic indigestion. Key symptoms include severe abdominal pain or Shula loss of appetite and extreme emaciation known as Karshya. Management focuses on restoring digestive fire and scraping the tumorous mass. The Ayurvedic Formulary of India highlights potent formulations containing Semecarpus anacardium like Bhallataka and Kanchanara Guggulu for reducing growths. Therapeutic procedures such as Virechana or purgation and the use of alkalis known as Kshara are employed to manage obstruction and prevent further tissue degeneration though advanced stages are considered difficult to treat.
Disease A to Z
Gastritis correlates with the Ayurvedic condition Amlapitta where Pitta dosha becomes excessively sour and liquid causing inflammation in the stomach. It manifests primarily as Urdhwaga Amlapitta characterized by heartburn sour belching known as Tikta Amla Udgara and indigestion. The root causes include consuming incompatible foods or Viruddha Ahara and eating before the previous meal is digested. Ayurveda views this as a displacement of Pitta requiring the expulsion of toxic acid through Vamana or therapeutic emesis. Management involves cooling palliative remedies using herbs like Amalaki and Patola along with preparations like Narikela Khanda. Avoiding triggers such as sour curd heavy foods and alcohol is essential to restore the digestive fire and prevent recurrence.
