Dermatitis Herpetiformis

What is Dermatitis herpetiformis? Have you ever seen anyone who is diagnosed with this problem? There are lot more questions that come into the mind when we hear the names of some diseases. Well Dermatitis herpetiformis is a skin disease which is also known as Duhring disease. Ayurvedic treatment for dermatitis herpetiformis is quite effective and safe.

Herbs like Neem (Azadirachta indica), Haridra (Curcuma longa), Amla, Harad, Bahera are packed with amazing properties and quite beneficial in the treatment of Dermatitis Herpetiformis.

What is Dermatitis Herpetiformis?

Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a very uncommon, chronic skin disorder which is characterized by the presence of raised skin lesions (papules) and severe itchy (pruritic) blisters. These are commonly found on the shoulder blades, knees, elbows and buttocks. It is an autoimmune blistering disorder which is associated with a gluten-sensitive enteropathy (GSE). It has been found that Dermatitis herpetiformis is found in approximately 15 to 25 percent of people who have celiac disease.

Dermatitis Herpetiformis has itchiest rashes which usually includes these areas

  • Elbows
  • knees
  • Lower back
  • Hairline
  • Back of the neck
  • Shoulders
  • Buttocks
  • Scalp

What Causes Dermatitis Herpetiformis?

From the name of disease, many people think this rash occurs due the certain types of herpes virus. But in this disease there is nothing to do with herpes. In the case of celiac disease symptoms associated are nausea, abdominal pain, constipation and vomiting. But the people who have the Dermatitis Herpetiformis don't develop any of intestinal symptoms. But in 80% cases of DH, intestinal damage can occur if patients of Dermatitis Herpetiformis consume diet which is rich in gluten.

There are IgA antibodies that attack the gluten protein, damage the parts of intestine which are responsible to absorb nutrients and vitamins. IgA antibodies also attack to the gluten then enter the blood stream and start clogging the blood vessels especially in the skin. White blood cells also enter into these clogs and release a chemical which results in the itchy and blistery rash.

Cause of Dermatitis Herpetiformis in Ayurveda

In ayurveda, there are three energies – vata, pitta and kapha which are important to maintain a healthy body. Imbalance of any these energies result in various health complications. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is mainly due to imbalance of tridoshas. Due to imbalance of tridosha there is production of toxins, these toxins get accumulated in the deep tissues like rakta (blood), rasa (nutrient plasma), mansa (muscles) and lasika (lymphatic).

Bilateral Sacroilitis- Causes, Symptoms & Herbal Treatment

The term Bilateral sacroilitis is defined as the inflammatory disorder right in the sacroiliac joint. This joint is situated on both the sides of the lower spine, which is formed with sacrum bone in the centre and hip bones on both sides. It helps in connecting the lower spine to the iliac bone of the hip. It is the disorder related to the spinal column. This disorder comes under the category of spondyloarthropathy. And, it includes the various conditions like psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and many others. It may also be considered to be a part of various categories of arthritis like osteoarthritis, Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis. This term is also often used with the term, sacroiliac joint dysfunction. It is the swelling in one or both the sacroiliac joints, which are present right where the pelvis connects to the lower spine. This disorder results in huge pain in the buttocks and lower region of the back. Often, it may travel down to the legs as well. Standing for prolonged duration or climbing stairs may aggravate the situation and worsen the pain to a significant extent. It often becomes difficult to be diagnosed. This is because, it is often mistaken to be linked to some inflammatory spinal arthritis, which may be a reason for severe back pain.

Basic Causes of Bilateral Sacroilitis

Sacroilitis joint dysfunction may or may not always be linked to arthritis. There may be several other causes of this inflammatory disorder.

These are listed below:

  • Traumatic injury or Trauma: The ligaments which are surrounding and supporting the sacrum may be injured due to trauma. This trauma may be severe many a time. For example, a sudden fall or accident of the motor vehicle can lead to sudden impact damaging the sacroiliac joints significantly.
  • Arthritis: Osteoarthritis, which is also known as the wear-and-tear type of arthritis may occur in the sacrum or sacroiliac joints. It is a type of arthritis, which affects the spines of the individuals.
  • Pregnancy: During pregnancy, the scaroiliac joints have to stretch and loosen as well while giving birth to the child. Also, the gain in weight during pregnancy may often cause more stress or pressure on the joints. There is relaxation of the ligaments and muscles of the pelvis. The ligaments become extremely lax and the joint may slip away from the place. This may be extremely painful. And, these may give rise to abnormal wear and tear to a huge extent. However, symptoms move away after pregnancy and the ligaments can become stronger as well.
  • Infection: In rare conditions, these joints may also catch infection. Thus, this infection may lead to bilateral sacroilitis considerably.
  • Stress: Certain conditions like surgical spinal fusion or severe arthritis may lead to severe stiffness in the spines. The stiffness may lead to more mechanical stress at the joint. This, leads to pain and some other degenerative changes in the spine to a huge extent.

Characteristic Symptoms of Bilateral Sacroilitis

Psoriasis, inflamed eyes and acute fever are some important symptoms of the disorder.

This inflammatory condition may lead to severe insomnia and depression to a huge extent.

Ayurvedic Concept of Bilateral Sacroilitis

Ayurveda, the science of healing takes care of various disorders in its own sense.
