HERBAL REMEDIES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT

Ayurveda, the science of life has its foundation in the theory of tridosha – vata, pitta and kapha. Each dosha exhibits diurnal variations and also varies according to phase of digestion and age. The life span of a human being consists of three phases, namely childhood, youth and old age. Among these, kapha is having predominance during childhood, pitta during youth and vata in old age.

Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) Treatment in Ayurveda

FOCAL SEGMENTAL GLOMERULOSCLEROSIS (FSGS): OVERVIEW

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a kind of glomerular disease which is characterized by scarring (sclerosis) in the kidneys. The scarring generally occurs in small sections of the glomeruli --- the parts of the kidneys which are responsible for filtering waste from the body. Initially, only a limited number of glomeruli are damaged because of the scarring.

The scarring of the glomeruli in Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis can occur because of a number of reasons. The reasons behind the occurrence of FSGS categorize the disease into three types: (i) Primary FSGS, which occurs without any known cause; (ii) Secondary FSGS, which can be triggered by an infection, drug toxicity, or diseases which affect the whole body, like diabetes, sickle cell disease, lupus, or HIV infection; and (iii) Genetic FSGS, which is caused by genetic mutations.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is known by some other names also, such as ‘Focal glomerular sclerosis’ or ‘Focal nodular glomerulosclerosis.’

This disease can affect children as well as adults; with men at a slightly higher risk of developing the disease as compared to women. When the disease affects children and adolescents, it can lead to Nephrotic Syndrome (a set of symptoms which occur together and affect the kidneys); and, when it occurs in adults, it can lead to kidney failure.

FOCAL SEGMENTAL GLOMERULOSCLEROSIS (FSGS): SYMPTOMS

People affected by Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis may not show any particular symptoms of the disease in its early stages. Later, some affected individuals may notice some signs on their own, or the disease may be officially diagnosed by a doctor or healthcare provider.

Some of the common symptoms which are generally associated with the occurrence of Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis are:

• Edema (swelling around the eyes and in the legs/ankles)
• Proteinuria (foamy urine, due to high levels of protein in the urine)
• Weight gain, because of accumulation of fluid in the body
• High cholesterol levels (high levels of fat lipids in the blood)
• Low protein levels in the blood.

In the advanced stage of FSGS, the symptoms of the disease are usually similar to those of kidney failure. These symptoms may include loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, headache, itchiness of skin, and shortness of breath.

FOCAL SEGMENTAL GLOMERULOSCLEROSIS (FSGS): TREATMENT

The treatment of Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis may be different for different patients because it largely depends on the cause of the disease. Some of the treatments for managing FSGS include: Corticosteroids (mostly called ‘Steroids’), Diuretics, Immunosuppressive drugs, ACE inhibitors and ARBs, Plasmapheresis, and Dietary changes. However, in advanced stages of the disease, the patients may be required to undergo Kidney transplant or Dialysis.

Some beneficial herbal products for managing the symptoms of Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis have been prepared by Ayurveda experts at Planet Ayurveda herbal manufacturing company. These products are completely safe to use because they are prepared from 100% pure and natural herbs.

Ayurvedic Approach to Glioma - Types, Cause, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment

Glioma is a type of tumor occurs in the brain and spinal cord. It grows from glial cells. The function of glial cells is to supports nerve cells with energy and nutrients and helps to maintain the blood-brain barrier.

• Ependymal Cells – It lines the ventricular system and secretes cerebrospinal fluid.

TYPES OF GLIOMA INCLUDE

• Astrocytoma- It includes astrocytoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, and glioblastoma. These start in brain cells called astrocytes. Most of these brain tumors cannot be cured as they spread to normal blood tissues.

These tumors arise from ependymal cells and as they do not spread to other brain cells, it can easily be cured with surgery.
• Oligodendrogliomas- It includes oligodendroglioma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, and anaplastic oligoastrocytoma. It spreads like astrocytoma. As they spread slowly sometimes these tumors can be cured.

ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) Treatment in Ayurveda

AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (ALS): OVERVIEW

(ALS) is a rare, progressive neurological (nervous system) disease in which the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movements -- like walking, talking, chewing, etc. -- get destroyed in affected individuals, thereby leading to disability.

ALS belongs to a category of diseases called ‘motor neuron diseases.’ These diseases are the outcome of a steady deterioration and death of motor neurons -- that is, the nerve cells which serve as important communication links between the brain and the voluntary muscles of the body. These motor neurons in the brain extend to the spinal cord and to the muscles in the body, for the purpose of transmitting messages from the brain in order to produce voluntary movements.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Since ALS causes the degeneration or death of motor neurons in the brain, the transmission of messages from the brain to the muscles progressively gets hampered. Gradually, the muscles lose the ability to function properly and start becoming weak and jerky over a period of time, and eventually waste away. As a result, ALS finally leads to the loss of the brain’s ability to initiate and control the body’s voluntary movements.

The occurrence of ALS is generally more common in people aged between 55 and 75 years, though the disease can occur at any age. Men are believed to be at a slightly higher risk of developing ALS as compared to women.

The exact cause behind the occurrence of ALS is not known. But, according to scientific studies, the disease can be a result of genetic factors -- specifically mutations in the ‘SOD1’ gene -- as well as environmental factors, chemical imbalance resulting from higher-than-normal levels of the brain’s chemical messenger called ‘glutamate,’ disorganized immune response, and mishandled proteins within the nerve cells.

AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (ALS): SYMPTOMS

In the early stages of the occurrence of ALS, the symptoms of the disease are not very noticeable, and are usually overlooked by affected individuals. However, with the passage of time, the disease leads to obvious weakness which can be clearly noticed by doctors.

The onset of ALS is either a ‘limb onset’ in which the symptoms start in the arms or legs, or a ‘bulbar onset’ in which the first signs of the disease are first noticed in speech or swallowing difficulties.

Some of the common symptoms which indicate the onset of ALS are:

• Muscle cramps
• Muscle twitches (fasciculations) in the arm, shoulder, leg, or tongue
• Spasticity (stiffening and tightening of muscles)
• Muscle weakness which can affect an arm, a leg, neck or diaphragm
• Slurred and nasal speech
• Difficulty swallowing or chewing.

AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (ALS): TREATMENT

There is no known cure for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and no effective treatment which can halt, or reverse, the progression of this disease. As such, the treatments for ALS patients chiefly comprise ‘supportive care’ which is provided by doctors and several other health care professionals -- including speech therapists, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, nutritionists, hospice nurses, and social workers -- for controlling the disease’s symptoms, preventing health complications, and making life easier for the patients.

For natural and safe management of the symptoms of ALS, expert Ayurveda practitioners at reputed herbal manufacturing company Planet Ayurveda have prepared some excellent herbal products. These products are prepared from pure and standardized herbs and other natural ingredients. These products include:
