Ayurveda based herbs for Diabetes

Diabetes Management in Ayurveda
Human body is like a sea, one small wave creats disturbance almost whole of the system, so the approach to reverse this pathological disturbances can be of integral nature, any agent working on single/two mechanisms can not be the cure

 The term Madhumeha is used in Charaka Samhita [1000-1500BC], Susruta Samhita [100-500BC] for the multisystemic metabolic disorders effecting multitissues, Diabetes Mellitus. "DM-II is a chrinic inflammatory condition of Adipose Tissues "
Incidences of Diabetes type-II, increasing along with the increase in materialistic orientation of society; the epidemic like situation is traced in the mutation of changes in related genes & metabolic mechanisms by scientists of the field; 230 millions of diabetics are living with disease. It is emerging seventh leading causes of mortality.
Increase in diabetes cases from 1990-1998 was 33%
For people between 30-39 years the increase was 70%
For people between 40-49 years the increase was 40%
DM is caused either by a lack of Insulin [Type I] or body™s inability to use insulin [Type II] also known as maturity onset diabetes is often triggered by obesity stress& a sedentary life style.
The manifestation of any disease is the victory of disease causing factors in the on going fight with the autonomous defense mechanism available inside every sustainable biological system. The under/over/faulty-utilization of this autonomous healing mechanism weakens this natural wealth. The availability of this natural healing power depends upon our basic constitutions of 7 categories [vata, pitta, kapha, vata-pitta, vata-kapha, kapha-pitta, Sama Prakriti] with which we all born in medical texts of Indian System of Medicine-Ayurveda Genetic susceptibility, indulgence in excess intake of milk & its products, sugarcane juice& its products, meat of animals from marshland, food products prepared from cereals that are less than one year, recently prepared wines, physical inactivity, excessive sleep, no day-to-day activity related mental plannings, excessive mental worry, obesity& sedentary life habits& faulty eating habits like eating of when earlier taken food is not digested, eating food without any appitite,overeating.
Twenty types of premeha, kapha [10 verities]-pitta [6varities] “vata [4varities] get manifested depending on the basic constitution on the patient, indulgence of verities of causative factors enlisted & type of tissues effected among the following- [medas] adipose, [vasaa] fat, [rakta] blood cells, [shukra] spermatozoa,[ambu] cytoplasm,[lasika] protoplasm ,[majja]bone marrow,[rasa]lymph,[pishita] muscle ,[gene-proteins/ factors responsible for immunity]ojas.

Ayurveda to reverse coronary artery disease

Coronary Artery Diseases

CAD, the most common heart disease .It occurs when the blood supplying arteries become narrowed/hardened/spasmodic. It may be due to deposition of cholesterol/fatty material which is preceded by inflammation of the cells of lumen of arteries that may be due to oxidative stress/ mental stress.

Causes

Non-modifiable Factors; Age, Gender, Genes, Race-African Americans, Mexican Americans, American Indians, Hawaiians, and some Asian Americans also have a higher risk for heart problems.

Modifiable Factors; There are life style/ [Chronic diseases like DM,BP,KD ,FLD ]related risk factors should be taken care are habit of panicking, smoking, drugs, lack of physical exercise/ work, extra sensitive nature, excessive & constant mental stress, late dinners ,no time gap in between dinner & sleeping, frequent eating without digestion of previous meal / deep fried food.

Treatments

Health is an active dynamic state & disease is a passive phenomenon, because if we are unable to synchronise the biological required life style & dietary habits in concordance to environmental variations then we are bound to fell ill.

Human body is like a sea, one small wave creates disturbance almost whole of the system, so approach to reverse the pathological disturbances [diseases] should be of integral nature to target the disturbed mechanics to reverse them, any agent working on single/two mechanisms cannot be the cure, but can create havoc.

In ayurveda Heart diseases are described in details along with the treatment option & that approach is found very effective in treating various heart diseases CAD, valvular disorders, arrhythmias CHF.

CAD specially is an outcome of faulty life style generated metabolic syndrome & hence the disease process involved can be reversed effectively in most of cases with the help of ayurveda medicines & adaption in biological required life style.

Ayurveda treatments for autoimmune disorders

An autoimmune disorder is a condition that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. There are more than 80 different types of autoimmune disorders.

Autoimmune diseases arise from an overactive immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body. In other words, the body actually attacks its own cells.

The immune system mistakes some part of the body as a pathogen and attacks it. This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g. in chagas disease) or involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g. Goodpasture's disease which may affect the basement membrane in both the lung and the kidney).
The symptoms of autoimmune disease vary depending on the disease as well as the person's immune system. Common symptoms include:
• Anxiety or depression
• Blood sugar changes
• Digestive or gastrointestinal problems
• Dizziness
• Elevated fever and high body temperature
• Extreme sensitivity to cold in the hands and feet
• Fatigue
• Infertility or reduced sex drive (low libido)
• Inflammation
• Irritability
• Low or high blood pressure
• Malaise
• Weakness and stiffness in muscles and joints
• Weight Changes

The disease process involved is similar to Amavata in Ayurvedic classics. Any kind of disease condition created due to complex of intermediate metabolite & vata are termed as Amavata in Ayurveda.

Other disease conditions under the pathogenesis Amavata can be SLE [systemic Lupus Erythematous], Ankolysing spondylitis, Sjogren’ syndrome, Scleroderma [systemic sclerosis], mixed connective tissue disease, IBS, Nephrotic syndrome this process of disease genesis can manifest in any organ / system.
• This type of disease complex can be controlled, contained & involved pathogenesis can be reversed; Dr. Prasher studied some herbs useful at different stage of the diseases & keeping in view the basic constitution of the diseased based on authentic approach described in CharaSamhita.
The herbal extracts are mixed for each patient based on his nature after complete analysis. The effective herbs for Amavata are Rasna, nirgundi, ashvagandha, Bhallataka, haritaki, ajmoda, vaishvanar, alambhusha, guggulu, ashishrinkhala, amrita, shunthi& eranda etc.

Ayurveda treatments for Neurological disorders

Paralysis : Loss of voluntary movement (motor function). Paralysis that affects only one muscle or limb is partial paralysis, also known as palsy; paralysis of all muscles is total paralysis, as may occur in cases of botulism. There may be general paralysis, involvement of only one side (hemiplegia), paralysis on both sides at one level (paraplegia or quadriplegia), or localized paralysis [i.e. facial paralysis] in a small group of nerves or muscles. The underlying pathology may be different such as Cerebro-Vascular Accidents (CVA), neoplasm, infections, etc. but paralysis will be a common symptom. The degree and extent of neurological deficit depend upon the location and extension of damage to the brain cells. In certain cases along with motor deficits, disturbance of speech and loss of higher functions are also observed.

The similar disease conditions based on clinical observations are Ardita, Pakshaghata, Pakshavadha and Ekanga Vata in Ayurveda classics like Charaka Samhita.

In Ayurveda the treatment documented based on the state of disease, chronicity, & constitution, age, physical-mental strength, agni [digestive-metabolic status] of patient.

The traditional therapies like Abhyanga, Pinzichil, Nadi-swedana, Patra-pinda- swedana, Shashthishali-pinda- swedana, Sarvangasvedana, Shiro- Vasti, Shiraodhara,, & among Panchakarma therapeutics like Nasyam, Virechanam, Vasti are advocated & among them are selected depending on state of disease & diseased.

Dr Prasher developed herbal product based on the Charaka Samhita in a convenient dosages form for paralysis, especially to regenerate the neurons.
