Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Fibrocystic Breast Condition


Fibrocystic Breast Condition is a medical problem in which the affected females, usually in the age group of 30 to 50, experience tender and painful nodules in the breasts.  Treatment with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines usually brings about temporal relief; however, there can be recurrences which can increase concerns and anxiety, especially related to doubts about malignancy.  Females affected with fibrocystic breast condition may require investigation to confirm the diagnosis and rule out the chances for malignant tumors.

Ayurvedic treatment is especially very useful and effective in the treatment of fibrocystic breast condition.  Ayurvedic medicines have a very strong anti-inflammatory action which reduces pain and tenderness and brings fast relief to affected individuals.  In addition, these medicines have a prolonged action which prevents recurrence. Further, these medicines also boost the immune power of individuals so that they feel refreshed, and obtain sufficient confidence to overcome the situation. Inflammation and pain can be controlled very well with Ayurvedic medicines, which have a non-specific action and therefore are not dependent on specific sensitivity to different bacteria.  Ayurvedic medicines can therefore work very well in the treatment of fibrocystic breast condition and are successful in completely eradicating the problem.  Further, the medicines are equally effective even if the condition is due to simple inflammation or due to some specific bacterial infection.

Depending upon the severity of the condition, affected females may require treatment from a few weeks to a few months.  However, most females report considerable relief from the condition within two to three weeks.  Reassurance is also important in the management of this condition, to maintain the morale of the affected females, so that they continue compliance to the medication and follow proper instructions related to treatment and the required investigations.  Most affected females do not require further therapy, once the symptoms have subsided completely.

Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Bullous Pemphigoid

Bullous pemphigoid is a medical condition in which blisters appear on the skin or mucous membrane, accompanied with itching, oozing, burning sensation, discomfort and pain.  This condition is comparatively rare and is usually seen in elderly people.  Bullous pemphigoid usually results from a disturbed immunity.  Steroids are usually used in the treatment of this condition, and can only temporarily control the symptoms and the rash.  These medicines usually are not successful in completely curing the condition.

Ayurvedic medicines are particularly very effective in the treatment of bullous pemphigoid.  These medicines not only boost the immunity of the body, but also act directly on the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and help treat the disease completely.  Herbal medicines also act on the blood and remove toxins and impurities present in the blood, which are responsible for causing this disease.  Ayurvedic medicines improve the general immunity of the body as well as the specific immunity and healing capacity of the skin and mucous membranes.

Treatment for about four to six months is usually required to help control the blisters and heal all the lesions, both in the skin as well as in the mucous membrane.  While these medicines have a corrective action, they also act on the liver and kidneys and bring about detoxification of the body, so that further recurrence of the condition is prevented.  In addition, these medicines also help to strengthen the defense mechanism of the body so that other diseases are also prevented.  Local application in the form of ointments containing different herbs can also be used along with oral medication, in order to accelerate the healing process.  Some patients affected with bullous pemphigoid may have considerably reduced immunity because of which the disease presents in a very severe form.  Such patients may require aggressive Ayurvedic therapy, with medicines being used in very high doses.  However, the advantage of Ayurvedic medicines in this situation is that high doses of medicines can be used without any adverse effects.

Ayurvedic medicines therefore prove to be quite effective in the complete treatment of bullous pemphigoid.
