PCOS POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME

which causes menstrual irregularities, infertility, features of excess and rages production such as excess facial and body hair and is a major reason for Type 2 diabetes, difficulty in conception and miscarriages.

According to ayurved its reason is imbalance of Kafa and Vata and can be cured by following Kafa soothing diet and medication.

Experts are finding out that women who have type 2 diabetes also may have a related condition called polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). In fact, many women with diabetes may have had PCOS for year. They may have noticed earlier in their lives that they didn't tolerate eating sweets or large meals very well. They would get weak and shaky between meals, maybe get headaches, and become tired and irritable. The only thing that made them feel better for a short time was eating more sweets and drinking coffee or regular soda. The problem with this routine is that it just started the roller coaster over again.

If this sounds like you, or someone you know, read on; there's more to the story.
Most women note that this group of problems started in their teens. Maybe they didn't start getting their period when their friends did or their periods were irregular. May be they had acne or skin problems. They might have had hair growth or hair loss in places they shouldn't have, such as on the face or head. Some women didn't notice any of these symptoms until they wanted to get pregnant. Still other women just knew things weren't right.

As women with these symptoms get older, many develop high blood pressure and abnormal blood lipid (fat) levels. They gain even more weight, especially in their stomach area. As time goes on, many develop type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Allergic Rhinitis

HOW CAN ayurved KICK ALLERGY OUT OF THE BODY NATURALLY ?

ALLERGY AND ayurved:OVERVIEW

‘ALLERGY’ is an overreaction of the body’s immune system to certain substances which it misidentifies as harmful. This overreaction of the immune system is called an ‘allergic reaction,’ and the substances which trigger such a reaction are called ‘allergens.’

An allergy or allergic reaction generally manifests itself in the form of some commonly-occurring disorders of the skin and respiratory system. These disorders include eczema, hives, asthma, hay fever, and food allergies.

‘ayurved’ is an ancient, holistic (whole body) system of medicine, which is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit. The core concept of ayurved is that an equilibrium of the body’s three fundamental bio-elements or ‘Doshas’ —Vata, Pitta, and Kapha — leads to good health.

The main aim of Ayurved medicine system is to prevent the occurrence of diseases and to promote health and well-being. To achieve this aim, Ayurved experts mainly depend on the use of herbal formulations to treat diseases naturally, and also recommend dietary and lifestyle changes to patients suffering from different disorders.

Ayurved PERSPECTIVE OF ALLERGIES

According to ayurved, allergies are generally a result of an excess of the Kapha and Pitta dosha, or the earth and fire elements. ayurved believes that the main causes behind the occurrence of allergies are accumulation of toxins and low immunity.

More specifically, the Ayurved viewpoint of allergies is that ‘genetics’ is the primary reason that causes an individual to suffer from allergies. These are considered to be a result of the one or all of the following conditions:

  • Weak agni (digestive fire)
  • An individual’s state of vykruti (imbalance)
  • The presence of ama (undigested or poorly digested food which turns toxic and interferes with the bodily processes).

The management of allergies naturally with the help of ayurved involves the diagnosis of the root-cause of allergy for every individual patient, and its subsequent treatment.

Eating is the last thing you feel like doing, especially when your stomach is so upset, but there are many foods that actually ease the symptoms.

The list begins with a list of many foods or conditions that might not heal you, but will make you feel more comfortable. There are many different reasons that can make you experience nausea like:

Nausea is probably one of the most unpleasant symptoms you can experience and can arise in a variety of situations. Whatever the reason is, the first thing you need to do when feeling nauseous is to think about the root cause.

  • Are you pregnant?
  • Did you eat something contaminated or stale?
  • Are you taking some medications, which might cause nausea?
  • Do you have the stomach flu or Norovirus?
  • Is your nausea triggered by something you saw or smelled?
  • Did you spare no effort physically?
  • Did you experience pain (like menstrual cramps or migraine) that have triggered your nausea?
  • Did you experience motion sickness or altitude sickness?
  • Are emotions making you go nuts?
  • Did you overeat or drink alcohol in excess?
  • Are you undergoing Chemotherapy or Radiation?

The reason can be any, but let’s discuss the things that these symptoms go away as fast as they can.

Ginger Root:

  • It is a well-known fact that having ginger does reduce your nausea symptoms. It is well known since the ancient times, even the modern science believes ginger can reduce nausea in various situations such as morning sickness, sea sickness and chemotherapy. The reason is not clear yet, how it works, but its constituent’s works positively on the digestive system and nervous system.
  • It encourages the secretion of digestive juices and enzymes that help in neutralizing the stomach acid, while its phenol ingredient relaxes stomach muscles. It also calms down the irritated tissues and lowers their over-reactivity.
  • The unwanted food or waste products, the toxins and bacteria that lie in the intestines, which might be responsible for causing nausea, is pushed out of the body by ginger’s phenol.
  • The nausea created by morning blues and chemo-related, in such situations you can have a dose of 500 to 600 grams of ginger root 2 to 3 times a day. If your nausea is more severe take the same dose after every 3 or 4 hours every day, till the symptoms cease.

How to Use

  • You can also use ginger tea, peel off its root, when the ginger is the size of your thumb, slice it down and add these slices into spring water, not the tap water, which is boiling. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Now take the pot off the flame and pour it into a mug ( if you feel you can strain it as well). Add a little honey that should be raw and not with added flavors, to sweeten the taste.

Note

  • This is the most effective home remedy for nausea, especially for pregnant ladies. The ginger piece should be organic, and not the artificial one with added flavors.

Chamomile Tea:

  • Chamomile plant is often used in medicinal uses and has proven its benefits since centuries. You can drink its tea either hot or cold, it soothes the digestive troubles like cramping, spasms when the stomach is upset.
  • It has a great value in digestion related problems and has been proved traditionally. It is used as a medicine that cures nausea, indigestion, vomiting and motion sickness with superb results.

Brat Diet

  • If you have to eat something that you find has an unbearable taste and gets you nausea tic, their do exist a very gentle bland food that can cool your stomach and clean the digestive tract.

The best diet for this is called BRAT, which contains

  • Bananas
  • Rice
  • Applesauce
  • Toast

These foods are very gentle foods, which are good for stomach and are not offensive in smelling or don’t contain a flavor, which trigger or worsen nausea symptoms.

Nuts:

  • Protein deficiency can deteriorate the whole condition during nausea. Hunt for foods that are rich in proteins like nuts, even peanut butter, if you are not allergic to it, which can easily be digested. These will instantly restore your lost energy level and help in keeping the nausea at arm’s length.
  • Nuts deal with the nausea that is created by immense hunger, low level of blood sugar or due to pregnancy. Better be aware not to eat nuts in abundance as nuts and proteins might deteriorate the whole condition, as these are digested slowly, then better be ready to face the music.

Banana:

  • If your nausea is accompanied by dehydration, causing vomiting too often, this peel off fruit is the best remedy. Bananas have potassium, which is often lacking due to excessive vomiting and diarrhea bouts. Bananas contain enough potassium, starch and are binding, which might help reduce diarrhea and frequent vomiting. This fruit can be digested very easily, rejuvenating the digestive system.

All these diets and herbal remedies can make the nausea blues go away and vanish into the thin air. If these don’t work according to your desired results, it will be better to consult your doctor, we prefer an Ayurved doctor, as they have vast knowledge about the herbs and can guide you in a better way as to which herb needs to be utilized.

No radiological testing is required however some tests like—ESR, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, a complete blood cell count, rheumatoid factor (RF) factor is recommended.

Fibromyalgia according to ayurved

  • The Charak Samhita Sutrasthana Chapter 13 elaborates on the pre-eminence and primacy of the Vata dosha in the body. Acording to Master Charak, Vata is the physical energy of the body penetrating as a life force everywhere in the physiology. Fibromyalgia is classified as Mamsa Dhatugat (diseases affecting muscles and tendons) and Mamsavrut Vata (diseases due to excess of Vata dosha in muscles and tendons). It involves dysfunction in Vata Vaha Srota, Mamsa Vaha Srota and Mamsa Dhatvagni. It falls into a sub-type of disease known in ayurved as “Vatavyadhi”—the diseases caused primarily due to the vitiation of Vata dosha—the physiological energy responsible for the stability and activity of the nervous system.
  • It is described in ancient texts as manifesting with a variety of possible and changing symptoms and signs including pain, stiffness, fatigue, gradual loss of movement, mental disturbance etc.  Dietary and lifestyle modifications are suggested in ayurved to correct the Vata imbalance. In ayurved, accumulation of toxins is believed to be the root cause of various auto-immune disorders like—rheumatoid arthritis, cervical spondylosis and fibromyalgia.
  • The build-up of toxins can lead a person to feel fatigue all the time. When toxic accumulation takes its toll on the nerve tissue, it results into the symptoms of tenderness, sensitivity and pain. Therefore, cleaning of toxins becomes necessary. Primarily, samprapti (pathogenesis) originates in the gastro-intestinal tract, then branches out through the madhyama rogamarga, the middle channels of the pathogenic process of disease with special inclination for shleshma sthana especially mamsa dhatu (muscle tissue) and their corresponding channels.

ayurved uses a range of natural anti-arthritic herbs to treat this condition. Various herbs are

  • Shallaki (Boswellia serrata)—This herb is commonly known as “Salai Guggal”. It is a resin obtained from the tree and is purified and used to treat pain and inflammation. It has the potential to relieve pain naturally without having any side effects and is a popular natural anti-inflammatory herb used by Ayurved physicians across the world.
  • Nirgundi (Vitex negundo)—It is considered as the most potent anti-arthritic herb effective in controlling pain and inflammation in arthritic conditions.
  • Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)-–  This herb is commonly known by the name Indian ginseng by the western countries. This herb has anti-inflammatory and anti-stress properties.
  • Guggul (Commiphora mukul)—This herb has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. This herb helps particularly in osteo-arthritis.
  • Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia)—This herb is one of the leading immunomodulators. This herb is known by the name “Amrita” meaning elixir for long life.
  • Ginger (Zingiber officinale)—It is a very common anti-inflammatory herb that reduces inflammation and also a good analgesic.

ayurved

Ayurved medicine is one of the oldest holistic healing systems. This healing system based on the concept of balancing between body, mind and soul. There are two principles of ayurved

First is mind and the body are inevitably connected

Second is there is no power that stops mind to heal and transform the body ailments and aid healing.

ayurved believes that every person is made up of five basic elements – space, air, water, earth and fire. These elements combined to form three life energies that control body functioning. These energies known as doshas. Every person has a unique combination of doshas.

These doshas are

Vata – this is known to control basic functions such as cell divide, breathing, blood flow, heart function etc.

Kapha – this is known to control immunity, body strength, muscle growth and weight etc.

In ayurved, there is two kinds of classes of cancer or can say tumor

granthi (minor neoplasm) and arbuda (major neoplasm). This is properly given in two Ayurved classics – charaka and sushruta. In granthi, one or two of the three doshas are affected, due to which body becomes out of control but not too much harmful. There is still a hope that this can be normalized. But in malignant tumors, all the doshas are affected and this is very injurious to health.
According to ayurved, when pitta decreases, as we know pitta known to control metabolism, this leads to deranged metabolism and results in excessive tissue growth. The pitta is further known to aggravate vata and suppresses kapha. These both interact with one another to cause proliferation. The abnormal growth at specific organ (Ekadesavriddhi).
