Paget's disease is also known as osteitis deformans and is a chronic bone disorder in which the formation and breakdown of bone tissue becomes disorganized. This leads to bone pain, headache, hearing loss, pressure on the spinal nerves, hip pain, damage to cartilage of joints, and increased head size, limb bones, and spine curvature. It can also cause arthritis, heart disease, kidney stone, loosening of teeth, decreased vision, and bone sarcoma. Early treatment is important in the management of this condition so as to provide significant benefit before the occurrence of major deformities in affected bones. Affected individuals also need to get regular exposure to sunshine and exercise regularly.
Ayurvedic herbal treatment for Paget's disease is aimed at giving treatment to regularise the deposition and breakdown of bone tissue to the maximum extent possible. Ayurvedic herbal medicines which have a specific action on bones and on bone formation form the mainstay of treatment in the management of this condition. Ayurvedic medicines which provide healthy bone tissue are also used while treating this condition. Treatment is required to normalise bone metabolism and also remove unhealthy bone tissue and breakdown debris either through the gastrointestinal tract or through the kidneys.
Symptomatic treatment is also required to treat neurological symptoms, bone pain, and other local symptoms due to deformities of bones. Ayurvedic herbal medicines have to be utilised according to the presenting symptoms in affected individuals. Treatment is also required to protect vital organs and prevent long-term complications to joints, the sensory organs, and the heart and kidney.
Depending upon the severity of the symptoms in affected individuals, Ayurvedic herbal treatment for Paget's disease is required for about six to twelve months in order to bring about a significant improvement in the condition. Ayurvedic herbal treatment can bring about a significant change in this condition for the better and can also effectively prevent long-term deformities and complications.
