Pancreatitis is a medical condition in which there
is inflammation and damage to the pancreas due to gall stones, or alcohol
binges along with fatty food consumption. The pancreatic juices which are
responsible for the digestion of food can cause auto-digestion of the pancreas
due to the inflammation process. An acute attack can be dangerous, with the
potential for serious complications like infection, peritonitis, abdominal
rupture and septicaemia.
An acute attack is best treated in an intensive care
unit of a well equipped hospital. However, recurrent attacks of pancreatitis
can be effectively treated with Ayurvedic herbal medicines. Ayurvedic treatment
can also reverse the damage and inflammation to the pancreas and prevent
recurrence of attacks. Early commencement of Ayurvedic treatment can bring
about a full recovery and prevent permanent damage.
Ayurvedic treatment is equally effective in both
adults as well as children. An average of about 6 months of treatment is
required for most patients. It is important to reduce weight and avoid intake
of alcohol, tobacco, and fatty foods. Patients with gall stones need to be treated
aggressively with Ayurvedic medicines.
