Established and Effective Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Chronic and Recurrent Pancreatitis

Pancreatitis is a medical condition in which the affected individual experiences severe abdominal pain, often accompanied by vomiting and fever.  Pancreatitis is a serious condition with significant morbidity and mortality.  This condition is usually associated with obesity and repeated bouts of alcohol drinking.  Some people may have repeated attacks of pancreatitis, which may result in complications in the long run.  Pancreatitis may also results as a complication of gall bladder inflammation.  Chronic pancreatitis may destroy parts of the pancreas or may form cysts within the pancreas, which may affect its normal functioning.

Acute and severe pancreatitis is best treated in a hospital since there is a real-time risk of severe complications; however, mild or chronic and recurring pain can be effectively treated with Ayurvedic medicines. Most importantly, recurrent pancreatitis can be very effectively treated with Ayurvedic herbal medicines, both in children as well as in adults. This can gradually stop recurrent episodes of pain, minimize damage to the pancreas, and prevent long term complications. Treatment is usually required for about 6 months, after which the medicines can be gradually tapered and stopped completely.

Established Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Avascular Necrosis of Hip (AVN)

Long term use of steroids, excessive intake of alcohol, chronic blood disorders and autoimmune diseases cause a drastic and sudden reduction in the blood supply to the head of the hip joint. This causes a complete disorganization of the bone structure, ultimately leading to a collapse of the head of the bone; this condition is known as avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip. Other joints too can be affected, though the hip joint is usually more commonly affected. Modern treatment involves the use of medicines to help reduce bone absorption, surgery to reduce bone stress, or hip joint replacement. Overall, modern treatment options are unsatisfactory and not cost effective.
Mundewadi Ayurvedic Clinic has been singularly successful in effectively treating patients even with advanced AVN. The treatment consists of herbal medicines to be taken for eight months, along with some simple Panchkarma procedures which can be done at home. Most patients report a complete remission in symptoms like pain, stiffness and rigidity within 2-4 months of commencing treatment. After completion of treatment, individuals can lead a normal life without symptoms provided they abstain from high impact activities. Ayurvedic herbal treatment can thus provide satisfactory management of a refractory condition like AVN, which is now being increasingly observed in young individuals.
