Treatment of PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) in Ayurveda with Herbal Remedies

ABSTRACT

Pelvic Inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the Women’s reproductive organs which is commonly caused by Sexually transmitted bacteria which gets spread from the vagina to the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. The female reproductive system consists of Internal and external organs which create hormones and are further responsible for ovulation, menstruation and sexual activities. External genitalia protects the internal organs which allows the entry of sperm into the vagina. Menarche is the female’s first menstrual cycle and the normal menstrual cycle is divided into follicular and luteal phases and is more variable in its time course. In this article, we are going to discuss the causes and symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease with its Ayurvedic aspect in detail.

INTRODUCTION

Untreated Sexually Transmitted Disease (STDs) leads to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease which is a serious condition caused by Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. Sometimes it leads to serious complications, as the bacteria first enter the vagina and cause infection, with the passage of time it moves to pelvic organs. It can be a life-threatening complication when it gets spread to the bloodstream. There is Pain in the lower abdomen and there is unusual discharge from the vagina. About 770,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with Pelvic Inflammatory disease each year. The complications which include Short-term complications are- Tubo-ovarian and pelvic abscess, whereas Long term Complications include Ectopic pregnancy, Infertility and chronic pain in the pelvis.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

• Infection of the upper female genital tract leads to inflammatory damage which results in Adhesions and total obstruction of the Fallopian Tube.
• This adhesion leads to the complete loss of ciliated epithelial cells with fallopian tubes resulting in impaired transport of the ovum so there is an increased risk of infertility and ectopic pregnancy.
• Sometimes this adhesion leads to chronic pelvic pain.

CAUSES OF PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE

AYURVEDIC ASPECT

As per Ayurveda, it is due to an imbalance of tridoshas which is responsible for all health and health-related complications. According to Ayurveda Pelvic inflammatory disease is due to vitiation of Pitta and Vata doshas. As Vata doshas cause pain and difficulty during intercourse. Pitta vitiations are related to inflammation and a burning sensation. Due to the vitiation of Kapha doshas, there is a build-up of Ama (toxins) which gets mixed with blood and further reaches the reproductive system. Mainly Apana Vata is responsible for the management and the proper and undisturbed functions of pelvic organs.

CHIKITSA

The main aim of the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease is to reduce pain and swelling and to control the aggravation of Pitta and Vata doshas.

1. Role of Panchakarma

It is helpful in expelling the vitiated doshas by shodhana (cleansing or expelling of doshas).

• Virechana- It is the best way to expel the morbid pitta to control the inflammation. When the vitiated Vata and Pitta are under control then the pain and inflammation subside. Virechana is administered after the Snehana and Swedana which totally expels the morbid doshas. 
• Basti- Basti is medicated enema which expels out the morbid Vata doshas and supports- strengthens the tissues. All 3 types of Basti are beneficial: Kashaya Basti- decoction enemas, Sneha Basti- Enema with medicated oils and ghee and Uttara Basti- Enema are given into the uterus. Matra Basti- Small doses of oil and ghee enema are given which will strengthen the organs along with pacifying the morbid Vata and Pitta.

2. Shotha Chikitsa

It is the Shamana chikitsa which pacifies the vitiated doshas.

• After proper Aamapaachana, Agnideepana and Santarpana are done.
• Parisheka with Triphala Kwath

Herbal Remedies for Filariasis - Classification, Signs, Symptoms, Complications & Ayurvedic Treatment

FILARIASIS

Filariasis is a parasitic infection caused by round worms of Filarioidea type and spread by black flies and mosquitoes (blood feeding). Filariasis is grouped under helminthiasis group of diseases.

Based on the niche they occupy in the body, Filariasis can be classified as:

• Lymphatic Filariasis – Caused by wuchereria bancrofti, brugia malayi & brugia timori. These worms occupy the lymphatic system of the body including lymph nodes. The chronic condition of this type of Filariasis shows the symptoms of elephantiasis.
• Subcutaneous Filariasis – Caused by loa-loa, onchocerca volvulus etc. these occupy the subcutaneous layer of skin, in the fat layer.
• Serous Cavity Filariasis – Caused by mansonella perstans and is seen in the serous cavity of the abdomen.

The adult worms staying in a tissue, release microfilariae (early larval forms) to the victim's blood stream. The arthropod vector feeding on this blood catches up this larva. These larvae then grow to infective form inside these vectors. These can be transmitted to a new host alarming an infection.

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

Lymphatic Filariasis

The most visible symptom of lymphatic Filariasis is elephantiasis. The round worms restrict and block the circulation in lymphatic system. This causes swelling in the body which may be metaphorical to elephant. Hence this condition is referred as elephantiasis. There will be edema with thickening of the skin and underlying tissues. Lower extremities are usually affected, but can appear in any part of the body. Wuchereria bancrofti usually affects arms, legs, vulva, breast and scrotum (hydrocele formation). Genitals are rarely affected by brugia timori.

Subcutaneous Filariasis

This type of Filariasis is presented with rashes, hypo pigmentation and hyper pigmentation macules, urticarial papules and arthritis. Onchocerca volvulus causes river blindness.

Serous Cavity Filariasis

abdominal pain is the main symptom. Symptoms of Subcutaneous Filariasis can also see, as these worms also dwell in deep tissues.

ALARMING SYMPTOMS OF FILARIASIS

• High fever
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Headache
• Excess sweating

COMPLICATIONS OF FILARIASIS

1. Swelling of limbs and genitals
2. Kidney failure
3. Sexual disability

AYURVEDIC OUTLOOK ON FILARIASIS

In Ayurveda, acharyas mentions about a condition called shlipada, which may be related to Filariasis. Here 'shli' means elephant and 'pada' means leg. This metaphor explains the elephant like appearance of the leg as in chronic lymphatic Filariasis. When infective agents enter in the body, it causes the imbalance of tridosha (predominantly kapha). The vitiated tridosha restricts and blocks the lasika (lymph) causing the symptoms.

Ayurveda offers a wide variety of herbs that can heal this condition. The drugs like guduci, haridra, shallaki etc are given prime importance.

HERBAL REMEDIES FOR FILARIASIS

Planet Ayurveda offers an excellent herbal pack for Filariasis. Treatment for Filariasis will take time, as time is required to wash out all the microfilariae from the blood stream. These medicinal formulations will definitely help you to reach this goal.

Herbal Remedies for Atopic Dermatitis (AD) - Signs, Symptoms, Causes & Complications

ATOPIC DERMATITIS

Atopic dermatitis (AD) also known as ‘Atopic eczema’ is a chronic eczematous skin condition, which is characterized by inflammation of the skin. The condition is generally non-contagious, and it mostly affects infants and children because it generally develops in early childhood. The severity of the condition may change with time .In some cases, the condition may persist into adulthood.

Atopic dermatitis is sometimes called ‘Neurodermatitis’ (lichen simplex chronicus), though some medical practitioners and patients may even refer to the condition simply as Eczema.

In infants and toddlers, Atopic dermatitis may affect almost the whole body; making the skin itchy, red, cracked and swollen. As children grow, the condition usually affects the skin of the cheeks, neck, elbow, ankles, and knee creases. The condition tends to flare-up periodically.

The exact cause for the occurrence of Atopic dermatitis is not known. However, most of the patients have ‘hypersensitive skin’ and a family history of the condition. In addition, these patients may also be prone to inhalant allergies, and appear to have a misguided immune response.

Atopic dermatitis can be triggered or become worse by several factors which mainly include seasonal allergies, low humidity, cold weather, environmental factors, and exposure to harsh soaps/detergents.

SYMPTOMS OF ATOPIC DERMATITIS

The symptoms of Atopic dermatitis may vary from person to person. However, some of the common symptoms which mark the occurrence of the condition include:

• Thickening of the affected part of skin
• Excessively dry skin
• Reddish or brownish-grey patches
• Severe itchiness, particularly at night
• Cracked, crusty or scaly skin
• Formation of tiny blisters which may ooze fluid when scratched
• Sensitive and swollen skin due to scratching

COMPLICATIONS OF ATOPIC DERMATITIS

Many patients affected by Atopic dermatitis may develop hay fever or asthma. Moreover, the condition may also lead to some other complications which commonly include:

Chronic Mononucleosis / Infection with the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)

Chronic Mononucleosis (mono) is an acute infectious disease which is characterized by the presence of an abnormally large number of mononuclear leukocytes (monocytes) in circulating blood.

Chronic Mononucleosis -- a disease which is also called 'Chronic fatigue syndrome' -- is most commonly caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The most notable indications of this disease are fever, fatigue and sore throat; and it generally gets transmitted via direct oral contact (through saliva).

Mononucleosis is also sometimes referred to as 'kissing disease' because it can spread through kissing. Besides kissing, some of the other situations which can potentially facilitate the transmission of this disease are exposure to the cough or sneeze of an infected person; and by sharing glasses, dishes or food utensils with an infected person.

It is important to note that the Epstein-Barr virus which causes Chronic Mononucleosis infection has an incubation period of approximately 4-6 weeks, or even a much shorter period in case of children. Moreover, the virus can persist in an infected person's saliva for several months after the infection. Hence, preventive measures against the spread of the disease should be taken for a long time after its symptoms have subsided.

The occurrence of Mononucleosis is recorded more frequently during the spring season as compared to other seasons of the year; but it is not as contagious as common cold or some other infections. The disease chiefly affects children and young adults.

Mononucleosis is not usually a very serious disease by itself. Nonetheless, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can cause a serious illness in individuals who have an impaired immune system, specifically individuals who are suffering from HIV/AIDS or those who have been taking drugs to suppress immunity after undergoing an organ transplant.

As of now, there is no vaccination for the prevention of Mononucleosis, and there is also no specific treatment for the infection. Therefore, the treatment of this disease is mainly symptomatic; with adequate rest, healthy diet and sufficient intake of fluids considered to be the key to recovery.

SYMPTOMS OF CHRONIC MONONUCLEOSIS

Some of the common symptoms of Chronic Mononucleosis infection with EBV include:

• Fever
• Fatigue
• Sore throat (which persists despite the use of antibiotics)
• Headache
• Swollen/enlarged lymph nodes in the neck and armpits
• Swollen spleen
• Skin rash
• Swollen tonsils, which can affect breathing.

HEALTH COMPLICATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC MONONUCLEOSIS

Chronic Mononucleosis infection with EBV, in severe cases, can lead to certain health complications which can be more serious than the disease itself. The complications which are generally linked to Mononucleosis are:

• Enlargement of the spleen
• Liver problems like Hepatitis (mild liver inflammation) and Jaundice (yellowing of the skin)
• Anaemia (a decrease in red blood cells and in haemoglobin)
• Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count)
• Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle)
• Breathing difficulties due to swollen tonsils
• Meningitis, Encephalitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome and other complications of the nervous system.

HERBAL FORMULATIONS FOR MANAGING CHRONIC MONONUCLEOSIS

Since there is no specific cure for Chronic Mononucleosis in present times, the treatment of the disease basically revolves around different measures undertaken by medical practitioners for providing relief to the patients suffering from the disease by controlling its symptoms.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Neuroma / Vestibular Schwannoma - Symptoms, Causes & Herbal Remedies

A vestibular schwannoma is usually a slow-growing tumor (benign) in nature that develops from the nerves responsible for balance in the inner ear. This type of tumor is formed from the over-production of Schwann cells (the cells that normally wrap around the nerve fibres like the skin of an onion that normally wrap around nerve fibres to support and insulate the nerves). As neuroma grows, it affects the hearing, usually causes unilateral (one-sided) or asymmetric hearing loss. Rarely, it may grow rapidly and become large enough to press against the brain and interfere with vital functions.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF NEUROMA / VESTIBULAR SCHWANNOMA?

• Hearing loss, which is gradual but in some cases, it may be sudden and occurs only one side or more pronounced on one side.
• Dizziness (Vertigo)
• Loss of balance or unsteadiness
• Ringing (tinnitus) in the affected ear.
• facial numbness

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF NEUROMA / VESTIBULAR SCHWANNOMA?

In most of the cases of neuroma, there is no identifiable cause. Some researchers believe that the cause of vestibular schwannoma appears to be a malfunctioning gene on chromosome no. 22. In normal cases, this gene produces a tumor suppressor protein that helps to control the growth of Schwann cells covering the nerves.

WHAT ARE THE COMPLICATIONS OF NEUROMA / VESTIBULAR SCHWANNOMA?

This can cause a variety of complications including:

• Facial numbness and weakness
• Difficulties with balance
• Ringing in the ear
• Hearing loss
• Large tumors may press on the brain stem thus preventing the normal flow of fluid between the brain and spinal cord (cerebrospinal fluid). In such case, fluid can build up in the head increasing the pressure on the skull.

DIAGNOSIS

Vestibular schwannoma is often difficult to diagnose in the early stages because signs and symptoms may be subtle and develop gradually over time and the common symptoms such as hearing loss are also associated with many other inner and middle ear problems.

Doctor may conduct an ear exam and following tests may be prescribed:

1. Audiometry (Hearing test): In this test, the hear sounds are directed to one ear at a time. The audiologist presents a range of sounds of various tones and ask the patient to indicate each time when the patient hears the sound. Each tone is repeated at faint levels to find out when the patient can barely hear.
2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): It is the preferred imaging test to confirm the presence of neuroma because it can detect tumors as small as 1 to 2 millimetres in diameter.

TREATMENT

Modern treatment may vary depending on the size and growth of the neuroma. It includes monitoring, surgery or radiation therapy causing severe side effects.

Planet Ayurveda offers an effective treatment for the patients of neuroma/vestibular schwannoma. Planet Ayurveda offers Crab Care Pack for the treatment of neuroma/vestibular schwannoma.

Ayurvedic Treatment of Cystic fibrosis - Symptoms & Complications

ABOUT CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disorder which causes severe damage to the lungs, pancreas, intestines, liver, and other organs of the body. This disorder is caused by a defective gene; and it affects the cells which produce secreted fluids --- mucus, sweat and digestive juices.

In people suffering from Cystic fibrosis, the salt in sweat increases and the secreted fluids (which are usually thin and slimy) become thick and sticky because of a mutation in the CF gene on chromosome 7. As a result, the secretions are no longer able to act as lubricants. Instead, they clog the tubes, ducts and passageways in the body, particularly in the lungs and pancreas.

The clogging of the airways due to a thick and clammy build-up of mucus in the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems can trigger potentially life-threatening health conditions in people affected by Cystic fibrosis.

Hence, early diagnosis -- specifically newborn screening -- of Cystic fibrosis and its proper treatment are very crucial, for improving the quality of life of the sufferers and for increasing their lifespan.

COMPLICATIONS LINKED TO CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Some of the serious conditions which can be result of Cystic fibrosis include complications associated with the respiratory system, the digestive system, and the reproductive system.

Complications Related to Respiratory System:

• Respiratory failure
• Bronchiectasis (damaged airways)
• Haemoptysis (coughing up blood)
• Nasal polyps (growths in the nose)
• Pneumothorax (which can cause breathlessness and chest pain)
• Acute exacerbations
• Chronic infections

Complications Related to Digestive System:

• Intestinal obstruction
• Diabetes
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Blocked bile duct
• Distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS)

Complications Related to Reproductive System:

In men affected by Cystic fibrosis, the most prominent reproductive system-linked complication is infertility; and, in women affected by Cystic fibrosis, the chances of fertility are lower as compared to other women.

SYMPTOMS OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Some of the common indications of Cystic fibrosis are:

• Recurring lung infections including bronchitis or pneumonia
• Unrelenting cough, sometimes with phlegm
• Shortness of breath or wheezing
• Extremely salty-tasting skin
• Difficulty with bowel movements
• Frequent bulky/greasy stools
• Stuffy sinuses
• Constipation or swelling in abdomen
• Poor/delayed growth despite of a good appetite
• Infertility.
