Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Polyarteritis Nodosa

Polyarteritis nodosa is an auto immune disorder which involves inflammation of the arteries, especially in the elderly population.  Symptoms of this condition include fever, pain, fatigue, weight loss, bleeding, and dysfunction of organs affected by the inflammation.  Usually muscles, joints, intestines, nerves, kidneys, and the skin are affected due to polyarteritis nodosa.  The modern management of this condition usually includes the use of steroids and immune suppressant drugs.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment for polyarteritis nodosa is aimed at giving symptomatic treatment for the symptoms of the disease as well as treating the root cause for this condition, which is inflammation of affected arteries.  Medicines which reduce pain and fever are routinely used to give symptomatic relief from the symptoms.  In addition, Ayurvedic herbal medicines are used to treat the inflammation in the arteries.  Medicines which have a specific and targeted action on the blood and blood vessels are used in high doses in order to bring about a quick and complete cure for this condition.  This treatment reverses the pathology of this disease and brings about improvement in other symptoms such as pain, bleeding, and dysfunction of the organs.

In addition, Ayurvedic immunomodulatory herbal medicines are also used in the treatment of this condition, so that the immune status of the affected individual can be corrected in order to help in the fight against this disease.  This treatment quickly reverses the pathology of the condition, reduces and treats the symptoms completely, reduces the treatment time, and brings about a completely healing.  Combined herbal treatment to treat the inflammation as well as for immunoregulation brings about a complete reversal of the pathology, so that all the symptoms are controlled and condition is cured.  This treatment also prevents recurrence of the condition, and improves the health and resistance of the affected individual, who starts reporting a feeling of well-being.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment can thus be judiciously employed in the management and complete treatment of polyarteritis nodosa.
