Transient Ischemic Attack Treatment in Ayurveda with Herbal Remedies

ABSTRACT

The heart and brain are the most basic units of our system. If some ask why so? Then obviously without a heart blood cannot be pumped inside a body without blood the body can not survive. Even Ayurveda mentions that rakta (blood) is a factor, that life exists. On the other hand, the brain is the controlling unit of the entire body. Voluntary or involuntary, all types of movements and functions are governed by the all-mighty brain. But there are certain medical conditions that play a major role in hampering the functioning of both the brain and the heart. One such condition is transient ischemic attacks. In this article complete information about transient ischemic attacks is shared along with its Ayurvedic management.

INTRODUCTION

The transient ischemic attack also called a mini-stroke is the result of a temporary disruption in blood supply to a particular part of the brain. This disruption results in a lack of oxygen to the brain. As it happens, this situation can result in the appearance of many symptoms similar to a stroke. The symptoms a patient may experience include speech and visual disturbances, numbness and weakness in the face, legs and arms. But the positive part of TIA or transient ischemic attack is it does not last long as a stroke. The symptoms or effects of TIA or transient ischemic attack resolve in minutes to a few hours and fully resolve in 24 hours.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

• TIA has full form as a transient ischemic attack or mini-stroke
• Sudden onset of focal neurological deficit presumed to be on a vascular basis
• It has symptoms similar to a stroke but does not last long as stoke
• TIA has a full resolving time of like 24 hours
• The condition occurs due to a thrombus which travels from elsewhere and blocks or disrupts the brain supply
• It can also be caused by pieces of fatty material or air bubbles as well
• Ayurveda suggests that this condition happens due to Vata and Kapha dosha along with the dushti of rakta.
• Due to excess of Kapha dosha rakta dushti happens and blocks the microchannels thus finally causing vishma vega of Vata dosha.
• Usually, the TIA or transient ischemic attack is diagnosed with a MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging)

CAUSES OF TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK

The causes of this condition are very common according to modern science. These causes are not different from the ones we generally hear in our day-to-day life. These are the following:

• Smoking– The most common one
• High blood pressure – Also can be due to smoking
• Obesity– The third commonest reason
• High levels of cholesterol
• Regular intake of large amounts of Liver
• Irregular heartbeat also called atrial Fibrillation
• If the patient has diabetes– It has a very bad impact on the circulation 

As mentioned in the key points about TIA or transient ischemic attack, it is the result of aggravated Kapha dosha along with dushti of rakta. This results in blockage of Vata movement thus causing this transient ischemic attack.

SYMPTOMS OF TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK

• Complete paralysis of one side of the body (hemiplegia)
• Double vision, blurred vision along with sudden vision loss
• The patient may experience vertigo
• The feeling of being sick
• The feeling of being dizzy and confused
• Facing sudden problems with understanding
• Having problems with balance and coordination
• Trouble swallowing

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK

Pathophysiology of transient ischemic attack depends on its subtypes. The most common issue which is observed in all types is the transient interruption of arterial blood flow to an area of the brain supplied by the particular artery. The subtypes are as follows:

• Large artery atherothrombosis
• Small vessel  ischemic disease
• Cardiac embolism
• Cryptogenic

DESCRIPTION OF TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK TYPES

1. Large artery atherothrombosis - This can be intracranial and extracranial. The mechanism may be a lack of blood flow distal to the site of arterial stenosis.
2. Small vessel  ischemic disease - The underlying pathology in this case is lipohyalinosis. The commonest risk factor is hypertension followed by diabetes and age.
3. Cardiac embolism - It is defined as the clot in the cardiac chamber generally in the left atrium and is secondary to atrial fibrillation.
4. Cryptogenic - This is a cortical pattern of ischemia. This is without any cardiac source of emboli.

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK

• The incidence of Transient ischemic attack in a population is very difficult to estimate due to other mimicking disorders.
• But statistics show that about 1.1 per 1000 in the current population of the United States only.
• The incidence rate Of Transient ischemic attack in India is 119-145/100,000 based on recent population studies.

DIAGNOSIS OF TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK

The diagnosis of transient ischemic attack is done through following ways:

• Physical examination and tests: Physical examination and tests are performed using a stethoscope, ophthalmoscope and others.
• Carotid Ultrasonography
• Computerised tomography (CT) or Computerised tomography angiography (CTA) scanning
• Echocardiography
• Arteriography

TREATMENT OF TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK

The purpose of medication in TIA (transient ischemic attack) is to decrease the likelihood of a stroke. As discussed the causes of TIA one can provide treatment for the hyper coagulation going on in the blood. The blood has a tendency to clot called as coagulation which is to be reduced in this case. Rest the medication may also depend on the location, severity and type of TIA. the medicine generally given in case of transient ischemic attack are as follows:

• Anti platelet drugs: Affect the platelet by reducing their binding capacity to each other.
• Anti coagulants: Do not affect platelets but have impact on clotting system proteins instead of platelet function

Surgery Procedures For Transient Ischemic Attack

• Or else surgery can be performed if the carotid artery is moderately or severely narrowed.in this case generally carotid endarterectomy.
• Angioplasty can also be done on the carotid artery.

AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE OF TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK

As mentioned before Ayurveda understands this condition as a result of vata and kapha dosha vitiation along with presence of ama dosha and rakta dushti. There is a possibility that there is presence of ama dosha only and thus it results in blockage and dushti of rakta dhatu.

The properties of ama and kapha are almost the same, that's why it becomes difficult to differentiate. Though the treatment protocol for excessive kapha and accumulated ama dosha is similar. There is also another possibility that both ama and kapha dosha are present. These bunch of possibilities can vary in different people.

But after these different possibilities there is one thing which is very common in TIA or transient ischemic attack and that is involvement of vata dosha. The ischemic attack cannot happen without involvement of vata dosha. Due to the huge vega of vata the dushit rakta circulates in the dhamniya or arteries or blood vessels and hence ischemic attack occurs due to the impurities present in blood. This blockage can happen anywhere, but when it particularly affects the vessels supplying to the brain or mastishka then it is called a transient ischemic attack.

The causes for this aggravation of dosha and dushti of rakta dhau along with accumulation of ama dosha is the wrong diet a person follows along with wrong lifestyle. A person having a good living style or lifestyle but wrong dietary habits can develop transient ischemic attack. Even in the viceversa situation something can happen. That's why it is very important that one should try to maintain a healthy diet or eating habits along with a healthy lifestyle.

Moving forward, on the Ayurvedic formulations and herbs that can help in this situation. Then mainly kapha anulomaka, vata anulomana, ama pachan and rakta shodhak treatment is done. Sanjeevani vati which is prepared with herbs like vidanga, sonth, pippali, haritaki, amalaki, vacha, guduchi, bhallataka and vatsnabh is used in this condition, Arjun based herbal preparations like Arjun powder, arjunarishta are also used. Some herbo mineral or mineral preparations like vata vidhwansan ras, vrihat vatchintamani ras can also be used. To reduce inflammation, especially haridra preparations are also recommended.

Alternative Treatment for Somatoform Disorders With Herbal Remedies

Abstract

There are many situations and conditions in life that have an impact on our day to day activity as well. Some people are affected by these situations so much that they develop various types of physiological conditions as well. In some other cases the person who is suffering from a certain diseased condition can also suffer from certain psychological suffering. But there is another aspect and that is when a person is suffering from a psychological condition and has unexplained physiological suffering. This condition is called Somatoform Disorder. The article has detailed information regarding somatoform disorders and also about its Ayurvedic management.

Introduction

The somatoform Disorder is a group of psychiatric conditions in which patients present with a myriad of clinically significant but also unexplained physical symptoms. The patient generally focuses on pain or fatigue which is followed by major emotional distress and problems functioning. The patient may or may not be diagnosed with a medical condition which has association with symptoms but the reactions to the symptoms are not normal. Patients with somatoform disorder are not faking their symptoms, the distress they have due to pain and other problems is real regardless of whether or not a physical explanation can be found. Due to this distress and symptoms their day to day life and activity is hampered. This is also responsible for stress and frustration in many patients.

Key notes for Somatoform Disorder

• Somatoform Disorder: Group of psychiatric conditions with physical symptoms which are not having any physical basis.
• In most of the cases a psychiatric assessment will show that the physical symptoms bear a close relationship with stressful life events or emotional conflicts.
• The degree of psychological understanding which the patient achieves is minimal and the efforts of the physician to discuss the possibility of psychological causation are firmly resisted
• By the time patient is referred to a psychiatrist there is multitude of negative investigations and unhelpful operations, particularly hysterectomy, cholecystectomy.
• The cardinal feature is severe, persistent pain which cannot be explained by a physical illness or physiological disturbance.
• Patients with this condition demand great emotional support from their families.
• In Ayurveda the condition can be very well related to Unmada. Unmada is termed as insanity but it is more than that.
• Unmada patient’s generally have symptoms like masked intelligence or diversion of intellect, deviation of mind, lack of courage & irrelevant speech.
• Aforementioned symptoms can result in the manifestation of symptoms similar to Somatoform disorders.

Causes of Somatoform Disorders

It is not precisely clear what causes Somatoform disorders. But it is believed that there are several contributing factors. Such factors can be genetic or hereditary. Such things can include hypersensitivity to pain sensations. Family influence can be one more countable factor as well.

An individual who possesses a negative personality trait which can influence illness and physical symptoms as well. Even when an individual gives more attention to the bodily symptoms or sensations, such cases can also be involved.

So the causes according to modern science in somatoform disorders can be summed up as following three:

• Family influences
• Genetic factors
• Hypersensitivity

Now if discussed According to the Ayurvedic aspect then Somatoform disorders are somehow related to Unmada explained in Ayurveda. The causes of Unmada explains:

विरुद्धदुष्टाशुचिभोजनानि प्रधर्षणं देवगुरुद्विजानाम्|
उन्मादहेतुर्भयहर्षपूर्वो मनोऽभिघातो विषमाश्च चेष्टा||

Reference - Chikitsa sthana 9/4

The above verse means incompatibility of food, unclean or contaminated food, possession of spirits, gods, teachers along with mental trauma due to recurrent fear, exposure to fear and adopting difficult posture are the most general causes of Unmada occurrence.

The above mentioned causative factors then results in

तैरल्पसत्त्वस्य मलाः प्रदुष्टा बुद्धेर्निवासं हृदयं प्रदूष्य|
स्रोतांस्यधिष्ठाय मनोवहानि प्रमोहयन्त्याशु नरस्य चेत||

Reference - Chikitsa sthana 9/5

The verse suggests causative factors result in the dosha aggravation in the person who is having low level of sattva guna (Heena sattva). Low levels of sattva guna means weak minded people (In the simplest language). Then in aforementioned people vitiation of hridya (Seat of intellect) takes place. Thus the manovaha srotas (Channels carrying mental factors) delude a person's mind quickly.

Types of Somatoform Disorders

Somatoform disorders are distinguished by thoughts, emotions or actions which are related to somatic symptoms. Following are the types of somatoform disorders:

1. Somatization Disorder: This occurs when a person continuously complains of physical symptoms irrespective of any physical condition. The diagnostic criteria includes experienced inexplicable physical symptoms that starts before the age of 30, persistence of symptoms for several years. Symptoms can include pain, stomach problems, sexual or neurological issues.
2. Conversion Disorder: The condition is diagnosed when physical symptoms mimic symptoms of a neurological disorder when there is no neurological disorder present.
3. Pain Disorder: Somatoform disorder characterised by pain in one or more parts of the body without any known cause.
4. Hypochondriasis: This occurs when the person believes that his/her minor signs or symptoms are the result of a major disease.

Symptoms related to Somatoform Disorders

Modern science suggests that somatoform disorders have symptoms as following:

• Persistent worrying about possible illness.
• Interpretation normal bodily sensations as an indication of a severe disease.
• Fear that the symptoms are life threatening or dire, even when there is no medical confirmation for the same.
• Excessive visits to a physician or hospital.

Ayurveda suggests following as Somatoform Disorder Symptoms

धीविभ्रमः सत्त्वपरिप्लवश्च पर्याकुला दृष्टिरधीरता च|
अबद्धवाक्त्वं हृदयं च शून्यं सामान्यमुन्मादगदस्य लिङ्गम्||

Reference - Chikitsa sthana 9/6

The above verse suggests Abnormal intellect, Psychic agitation, eyes restlessness, impatience, confused speech, feeling of emptiness in mind are the most general symptoms explained in ayurveda regarding somatoform disorders.

Diagnosis of Somatoform Disorder

The somatoform disease is only diagnosed if the patient is displaying at least one somatic symptom like presence of pain or sleepiness that causes distress or negatively impacts daily routine.

The patient will have extreme and unrelenting thoughts along with severity of their symptoms, experience high levels of anxiety regarding their health and also spend too much time on symptoms or health.

Such symptoms must be present at least for six months or more, so that the patient can be diagnosed with somatoform disorder.

• CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy)
• Mindfulness-based interventions
• Acceptance and commitment therapy

• The patient is administered with various types of ghrita formulations like hingvadi ghrit, kalyanak ghrita, mahakalyanaka ghrita, mahapaishachika ghrita and lashunadya ghrita.
• The isolation of the patient is also done so that any type of violent action or self harming activity can be avoided.

AYURVEDIC ASPECT

According to ayurveda, there are mainly three manas doshas- Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. These Sattva doshas especially suggest purity and quality of mind. Rajas Doshas represent the Dynamism and activity of the mind. Tamas Doshas represent Darkness. And this vitiation leads to all types of Mental disorders.

Ayurveda is an ancient science of life which proposes the concept of Doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha). The abnormalities in any doshas lead individuals to be diseased. Vata doshas are responsible for the function of all systems and maintain the whole body and its subtypes are Prana, Udana, Vyana, Samana and Apana. There is a unique concept in ayurveda which is explained well as Avarana. Avarana means covering and free-flowing Vata is obstructed with Pitta and Kapha, various tissues and excreta. In Avarana, Vata gets blocked by many things. The symptoms of Pitta and Kapha are not due to vitiated pitta and kapha but are due to pull by the force of Vata. Usually, there are 2 mechanisms of vitiation of Vata-

1. Marga Avarana
• Obstruction in the movements of Vata by tissues.
• Obstruction of Vyana Vayu by Prana Vayu.
• Withholding the natural urges of the body leads to an aggravation of Vata which obstructs its pathway.
2. Dhatu Kshaya It is the depletion of the tissues which obstructs the passage and transportation.
• Damage to various tissues
• Deficient nutrition for tissues

This leads to Prakopa of Vata Doshas and enormous depletion of tissues. When Prana Vayu gets obstructed there are symptoms which are manifested as below-

• Feeling of emptiness

CHIKITSA

In ayurveda, there are three types of chikitsa-

1. Daivavyapasraya Chikitsa - It is the chikitsa which refers to performing measures like Mantra (incantation), Ausadhi (Wearing herbs) and Mani (Wearing gems). It is helpful in All types of Manasvikara in both Psychosis and Neurosis.
2. Yuktivyapasraya Chikitsa (Rational therapy) - It refers to the use of Ahara (diet) and Aushadi (drugs). This Antahparimarjan Chikitsa, it is done with -
• Samshodhana Chikitsa - Tridoshas are deranged with Raja and Tamas so purification therapy is suggested which maintains the homeostasis in the body. Various treatment procedures are - Vaman (emetic therapy), Virechan (Purgation), Nasya (Nasal Therapy) and Abhyanga (massage).
• Sanshamana (Palliative Therapy) - When purification therapy is completed Shamana and Rasayan procedures are done to arrange the mind to normal. In this Rasaushadhi, Vati, Churna and Ghrit are given.
3. Satvavajaya Chikitsa (Psychobehavioral therapy) - This therapy is to restrain the mind and in this Dincharya (daily regimen), Ritucharya (seasonal regimen), Sadvritta (code of conduct of life) and Achar Rasayan are followed.

HERBS USEFUL IN SOMATOFORM DISORDERS

1. BRAHMI - Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) is the famous gift of Ayurveda which is helpful in improving intelligence and memory.

INTRODUCTION

Generally, the woman doesn't know and is not aware of the fact that they have a bulky uterus, they usually discover it during the pelvic examination or and in some cases when women face pain in their uterus. The Uterus is the muscular organ of the female reproductive organ usually called a womb. A woman's uterus is normally small in size but has the tendency to grow as much as bigger due to its ability to stretch, especially at the time of delivering a baby. The Bulky uterus is the term used for -Increase in the size of woman's uterus than its normal size i.e., 8*4*4cm. It is observed that there is an increase in the glandular muscle in the uterus wall which causes the uterus to expand or grow slightly heavier.

Usually the women face this problem in the following situations:

1. After menopause
2. The age group of more than 30yrs
3. Pregnant women after delivery

SYMPTOMS OF BULKY UTERUS

Women with the bulky uterus may suffer with one or more of the following symptoms:

• Heaviness in the lower abdominal area
• Gaining weight
• Heavy bleeding and cramps during menstruation
• Constipation
• Painful sexual intercourse
• Backache
• Leg cramps
• Irregular menstrual cycle
• Feeling pressured during urination
• Acne
• Unnecessary hair growth
• Tender breast tissues
• Pale skin

CAUSES OF BULKY UTERUS

There may be many reasons responsible for bulky uterus, such as:

• Uterine Fibroids - Fibroids are abnormal tissue growth or the tumors on the wall of the uterus. Hormonal imbalances or genetic disorders cause an increase in these tissues. Hence, these tissues cause an increase in the size and weight of the uterus hence resulting in the bulky uterus. These tissues are noncancerous and usually develop during pregnancy or the childbearing years. These fibroids don't have any side effects but it causes pain during menstruation, heavy bleeding and pain in the pelvic region. Genetic disorders, early puberty are the reasons for the growth of these fibroids.
• Post Pregnancy - Women's uterus enlarges at the time of delivering a baby through a C-section. There is a growth of muscle mass in the specific area of the uterus called Adenomyosis. It causes the uterus wall to swell and causes pelvic pain. It can also cause heavy bleeding, cramps and longer periods. It is mostly observed in women post-pregnancy or women above 30 years of age.
• Endometrial Cancer - Also called cancer developed in uterus. This cancer tissue causes the uterus lining to swell and hence causes bulky uterus. Abnormal and frequent vaginal bleeding, vaginal discharge, and difficulty in urination are the primary symptoms. Get a pelvic examination and consult a gynaecologist if a severe problem occurs. This cancer spreads slowly so you have to get the treatment as soon as possible to prevent it from spreading it to bladder, vagina or fallopian tubes.
• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) - PCOS is caused by hormonal imbalance and increases the male hormone (androgen) in the female body. It causes irregular and prolonged periods among women of reproductive age. PCOS is the growth of cysts on the outer edges and enlarged ovaries. Excess hair growth, acne, and obesity are the symptoms of PCOS. It affects the shedding of the endometrial lining that usually occurs at the time of menstruation. The accumulation of this endometrial lining during menstruation causes the uterus to feel heavy or bulky.
• Ovarian Cysts - The Female reproductive system has two types of ovaries located on both sides of the uterus. Ovarian cysts are the fluid or solid sac-like structure that grows in the ovaries causing pain during urination, abnormal bloating, painful bowel movements, breast tenderness, and these cysts grow on their own. Get a pelvic examination to check whether these cysts are cancerous or noncancerous.

COMPLICATIONS OF BULKY UTERUS

The bulky uterus is not a life-threatening disease but the reasons that cause bulky uterus causes health problems that have to be treated properly to avoid any health complexities.

• Pain In The Pelvic Region- Fibroids, and cysts causes enlargement of the uterus lining causing the constant pain in the lower abdomen and the pelvic region.
• Heavy Bleeding- PCOS and ovarian cysts cause heavy bleeding at the time of menstruation.
• Urine Infection- Swelling in the uterus lining and pressure during urination can give rise to various yeasts and bacterial infections.
• Infertility- Fibroids and adenomyosis cause severe pains at the time of pregnancy and may result in miscarriage or infertility.

DIAGNOSIS

The constant abdominal pain, pelvic pain, vaginal infection, and uterus swelling which is felt by women herself, calls her to consult a gynaecologist. A gynaecologist will do a pelvic examination, CT scan and ultrasound to check the health issue causing the ill health.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Pancolitis - Symptoms, Causes & Complications | Ulcerative Colitis

Pancolitis (also called Pan-ulcerative and total colon) is a type of ulcerative Colitis in which entire colon becomes inflamed and disease spreads throughout large intestine from cecum to rectum. It is a very severe type and chronic in nature.

The inflammation destroys the cells that normally line the colon wall. As a result, sores and ulcers develop in those damaged areas. Extend of inflammation may vary in degrees up into the upper parts of the colon. That's why it is important to know how much of the bowel in the disease is affected.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF PANCOLITIS?

• Blood Discharge in stool
• Abdominal severe pain and cramps
• Tenesmus - It is a sensation to pass stools, even though your bowels are already empty.
• Sudden weight loss
• Fatigue
• Night sweats
• Fever

WHO GETS PANCOLITIS?

The disease usually begins in people aged 15 and 30 although it can appear at any age. It seems that both men and women are equally affected by ulcerative colitis. Approximately 20% of patients present with Pancolitis.

WHAT CAUSES PANCOLITIS?

Abnormal activation of the immune system in the intestine: Ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune disease. Normally the body's immune system protects you from infection. In autoimmune disorders, this goes away and the immune system attacks own healthy body tissues. In Pancolitis, tiny ulcers develop on the entire internal lining of the colon and these may bleed and produce pus.

Genetic factors: Ulcerative colitis does run in families. As many as one in five individuals with UC will have another family member with UC. Ten percentages of identical twins both develop UC. If you have Pancolitis, there is an increased chance that your children, brothers and sisters will also develop the disease.

Environmental factors: It includes intestinal infections, air pollution, certain diets, sanitation and hygiene, where you live in the world, and use of certain medications.

Certain foods and beverages can make the symptoms of Ulcerative colitis worse. These may include the following:

• Dairy products
• High fiber foods (like beans, bran, nuts and seeds.) and Vitamin B6
• Alcohol
• Fried items and fatty foods.
• Caffeine
• Carbonated beverages
• Stress can make the symptoms of UC worse.

CAN PANCOLITIS CAUSE COMPLICATIONS?

Some patients do have complications in their skin, eyes, joints or liver as a result of their UC disease. People with pancolitis have a slightly higher risk of developing colon cancer than the general population. As a result, cancer screening with colonoscopy is recommended in all patients after the disease has been present for eight to 10 years.

WHAT TREATMENTS ARE THERE FOR PANCOLITIS?

Pancolitis can be treated by medicines but sometimes surgery may be necessary. Some people also change their diet and lifestyle to support their medical treatment such as exercise, improving quality of sleep, reducing stress. There is not certain treatment in allopathy but Ayurveda has an excellent management for the same.

AYURVEDIC CONCEPT OF PANCOLITIS

From ayurvedic view point, pancolitis can be known as pittaj Grahani. Three fundamental energies (doshas: vata, pitta & kappa) should be in balance stage to get perfect health. Pitta type people are genuinely more –prone to have this. Here, Pitta dosha gets imbalanced, obstruct intestines and causes Pittaja Grahani. Excessive consumption of Pitta aggravating Foods (such as excess of spicy, pungent, acidic, sour, alkaline nature foods, food items which produces burning sensation in the body) damage both rakta dhatu (blood tissue) and mamsa dhatu (muscle tissue). This leads to formation of ama that gets deposited between the villi in the intestines, forming a smooth coating that impairs the normal function and immunity of the intestines. Later it becomes more extensive over time and effects the entire colon called Pancolitis.

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT FOR PANCOLITIS

Ayurvedic treatment is mostly recommended by doctors all over the world. Ayurvedic treatments were both safe and effective, providing symptomatic relief of Pancolitis with no harmful side effects.

Kidney Failure - Causes & Natural Cure

Kidney diseases has become the great public health issue. From past few years there is rapid spurt in the incidence of kidney diseases. India's current population is 1.2 billion and it has been studied that every year approximately 1,650,000 to 2,200,000 people develop the kidney failure or End Stage Renal Diseases (ESRD). But it is miserable that only 10% or even less gets renal replacement therapy.

WHAT IS KIDNEY FAILURE?

Kidneys are pair of organs which are located on back of abdomen. Kidney's major function is to filter the blood. Besides this kidney helps to remove the wastes from body and balance the body's fluid.

Kidney failure is also called as End Stage Renal Diseases (ESRD). It occurs when blood flow slows down to kidneys or ureter gets blocked and wastes are not able to extrude from body which leads to the damage to kidney.

Before switching to the treatment part, one must know the causes associated with the disease (Kidney failure)

• Diabetes is the major risk factor of kidney failure and around 20-30% people who are suffering from diabetes develop the kidney failure. In diabetes there is destruction of small blood vessels in the body. So injured blood vessels in the kidneys are not able to filter blood properly and all the waste materials are accumulated in blood which leads to kidney damage.
• High blood pressure is 2nd major cause which is responsible for kidney failure. High blood pressure causes the damage to kidney’s blood vessels which also leads to kidney failure.
• Heart diseases are also responsible for kidney failure because abrupt loss of  blood flow to kidney leads to kidney failure.
• Problem in urine elimination like kidney stones problems, prostate enlargement and blood clots formation in urinary tract. Due to these problems  body is not able to eliminate urine , there is accumulation of toxins in kidneys

OTHER CAUSES INCLUDES

• Alcohol consumption.
• Inflammation of blood vessels which is termed as vasculitis.
• Chemotherapy drugs which are used for the treatment of cancer.
• Use of analgesics like acetominophen, ibuprofen, aspirin and naproxen.
• Antibiotic like methicillin, vancomycin, sulfonamides and ciprofloxacin.
•  Certain viral infections like Hepatitis, AID and HIV.
• Autoimmune diseases like lupus which may cause the inflammation of various body parts.
• Toxins accumulation due to heavy metals.
• Dyes which are used in imaging tests.

CAUSE OF KIDNEY FAILURE ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA

According to Ayurveda there are three doshas – vata, pitta and kapha which are necessary to maintain a healthy body. Imbalance of any of three dosha results in health issues. In Ayurveda kidney failure is known as disease of mutravaha srotas. All the three dosha are responsible for kidney failure. Imbalanced Kapha dosha is responsible for the blockage of small body channels called as srotas. Whereas imbalanced vata dosha is responsible for the destruction of kidney structure.

There are various herbs are present in Ayurveda like Varun (Crateva nurvala), Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa),Gokshur (Tribulus terrestris), Kaasni (Chicorium intybus), Bhumi alma (Phyllanthus niruri)Shirish (Albezzia lebbok),Shigru (Moringa oleifera) and Apamarg (Achyranthes aspera) which are helpful to strength the kidney system and improve their capacity of filtration.

Arbud literally means tumor and Pitta means “fire energy”. It is a fire eliminating tumor and caused by imbalance of fire element in the body. The fire energy imbalance in the body is caused by genetic reasons, too much consumption of fiery food, spicy, hot food. Pitta prakriti is also one of the reason for formation of tumors. Prakriti is body type, so fiery body type is also sometimes responsible for such cancers.
