Natural Treatment for Hypocortisolism

Hypocortisolism is a condition of low cortisol levels in the body. It is a rare form of hormonal disorder that affects only about 1 person in every 100,000 people. It occurs in all ages of people. With Ayurveda, it is possible to treat Hypocortisolism naturally.

WHAT IS HYPOCORTISOLISM?

Hypocortisolism, also known as Addison's disease, occurs when there is not sufficient production of certain hormones by the adrenal glands. These hormones include cortisol and aldosterone. Both of these hormones are essential for normal functioning of the body.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF HYPOCORTISOLISM?

A person suffering from Hypocortisolism may experience following symptoms:

  • Low blood pressure as well as low blood glucose level.
  • Color of the Skin changes which is visible as dark tanning on scars, skin folds or on some pressure points such as knees or elbows.
  • Muscle weakness and fatigue.
  • Nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.
  • Weight loss and loss of appetite.
  • Depression and irritation.
  • Due to imbalance of salt in the body, a person may crave for salty foods.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF HYPOCORTISOLISM?

Hypocortisolism may be caused by a disorder of the adrenal gland itself and this condition is known as primary adrenal insufficiency. Another type of Hypocortisolism, secondary adrenal insufficiency, occurs due to lack of adrenocorticotropic hormone. This causes the adrenal glands to produce less cortisol.

WHAT IS AYURVEDA?

Ayurveda is an ancient system of healing which was developed around 3000 years ago in India. Here is a theory in Ayurveda, which says that every single human being is made up of a combination of the five fundamental elements. These elements include Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. At birth, these elements combine together to create your dosha. There are three doshas which are also known as tridoshas (Vata, pitta and Kapha). Aggravation of any of these doshas results in health problem. Ayurveda offers a natural treatment to treat any disease.

Most of the adrenal problems occur due to the imbalance in the Vata dosha of the body.

Addison's disease (Hypocortisolism) Ayurvedic treatment

Hypocortisolism is also known as Addison's disease. It is a kind of hormonal disorder that affects the endocrine system of the body and causes less production of steroid hormones by the adrenal glands. Steroid hormones such as glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids are required for the normal functioning of the body. Although the disorder is not so common, but if it is left untreated, it may cause several complications. Ayurveda offers a great way to manage this disorder.

AYURVEDA AND MANAGEMENT OF DISEASE

Ayurveda, one of a powerful system of healing, provides a natural way to cure any disease. It is developed in India, thousands of years ago. Ayurveda believes that any health problem occurs when there is imbalance in dosha or doshas. There are three doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) which are also known as the energies of the body. As they are three in number, these doshas are also known as tridoshas. Ayurveda helps to balance the aggravated doshas and thereby helps in the management of the disease. Balancing of doshas not only involves Ayurvedic medicines, but also a healthy diet and a healthy living style too. Exercise is also given equal importance by Ayurveda in order to maintain a healthy body.

HYPOCORTISOLISM

Hypocortisolism occurs when androgen levels in the body is lower than normal and this condition is more prominent in women. There occurs a deficiency of cortisol in the body due to underactive adrenal glands.

CAUSES OF HYPOCORTISOLISM

Hypocortisolism is also known as Addison's disease. This disorder is caused by the low levels of cortisol or aldosterone or both. The low cortisol levels may be due to low adrenocorticotropic hormone level which is in turn a result of the pituitary gland. These low level of cortisol may occur due to:

  • Autoimmune conditions in which immune system attacks the adrenal glands of the body.
  • Some infections, such as those of tuberculosis and fungi may pose a risk for developing this disorder.
  • Cancer of the adrenal gland is another main cause of Hypocortisolism.
  • Genetic causes for Hypocortisolism involve congenital disorders such as Adrenal hypoplasia. It is a condition in which there is an underdevelopment of the adrenal gland from birth.
  • Sometimes, surgical removal of the adrenal glands may cause Hypocortisolism.
  • The anterior pituitary may be diseased due to infection, cancer or radiation therapy. Underactive pituitary gland may cause ACTH deficiency.

SYMPTOMS OF HYPOCORTISOLISM

The common symptoms of Addison's disease are:

  • Hypoglycemia (Low blood glucose levels).
  • Muscle weakness, muscle aches and joint pains.
  • Weight loss, Fatigue, Nausea, Vomiting.
  • Loss of appetite.
  • Depression and irritability.
  • Dehydration.
