Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Fibromyalgia (Fibrositis)

Fibromyalgia, also known as fibrositis, is a medical condition in which the affected individual usually complains of multiple tender points all over the body.  This condition is usually seen in females in the age of 35 to 55.  Fibromyalgia is usually not associated with inflammation, but is usually more related to an increased awareness of pain in multiple sites.  Affected female individuals usually complain of pain, weakness, giddiness and loss of appetite.  Treatment is usually done with pain killers, psychotherapy and reassurance.
The Ayurvedic treatment for fibromyalgia consists of treating the pain, reducing the susceptibility to pain, as well as increasing the confidence and vitality of the affected individuals.  Herbal medicines are given which can safely reduce the pain and control different symptoms of anxiety, giddiness, loss of appetite etc.  Local application of medicated oils reduces the susceptibility to pain and increases the strength and vitality of the skin, subcutaneous tissue and muscles.  Fomentation can also be utilised after the application of the oils.  In addition, Ayurvedic medicines are given to treat depression and improve the flow of positive thoughts within the affected individuals.
Treatment for fibromyalgia usually needs to be given for about four to six weeks in order to bring about noticeable results for affected individuals.  Counselling and reassurance can also be given to such people.  Most affected females should be advised to keep themselves busy and to have a positive outlook towards life.  A judicious combination of psychotherapy and Ayurvedic medication can thus help successfully and effectively to treat patients having fibromyalgia.

Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a medical condition in which there is severe pain in the affected shoulder joint.  This medical condition initially involves severe pain and limitation of movement in the shoulder joint, after which the stiffness in the joint increases considerably.  This is followed by a stage of thawing, in which the stiffness reduces slightly.  While this condition is usually seen in the elderly population, it can also occur in the young or middle aged people.  A previous history of trauma or prolonged immobilisation usually contributes to this medical condition.
Frozen shoulder is a medical condition which is quite difficult to treat within the modern system of medicine.  The use of anti-inflammatory medicines and pain killers usually gives temporary relief; however, the affected individual continues to suffer from the frozen shoulder syndrome.  For patients with severe pain and pronounced immobility, surgery may be the only final option.
Ayurvedic treatment is quite effective in the management of frozen shoulder.  Ayurvedic medicines not only reduce pain and inflammation, but they also help to reduce the stiffness of the associated tendons and bring about laxity within the frozen shoulder.  Herbal medicines provide strength and mobility to the muscles surrounding the shoulder capsule.  Ayurvedic treatment for frozen shoulder is given in the form of oral medication as well as local application of medicated herbal oils, followed by hot fomentation.  Treatment is usually required for about two to four months in order to give substantial relief to the individual affected with frozen shoulder.

Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Giant Cell Arteritis

Giant cell arteritis is also known as cranial arteritis or temporal arteritis.  This is a medical condition involving inflammation in the arteries situated in the temple area.  This leads to pain and tenderness in the temple area, where the hardened arteries can be felt.  Associated symptoms include pain and tenderness in the jaw and near the eyes, and muscular pains elsewhere in the body.  Cranial arteritis is a serious condition since it can involve loss of eyesight if the condition is not treated properly.  Elderly women are usually more susceptible to this disease.
The modern treatment of giant cell arteritis or temporal arteritis involves the use of steroids to reduce the inflammation within the arteries.  While steroids promptly reduced the inflammation and pain, in most affected individuals, these medicines need to be continued permanently or on a long-term basis, which is not usually desirable because of the side-effects of steroids.  In most instances, the inflammation recurs after the steroids have been stopped.
Ayurvedic herbal treatment is especially useful in the treatment of giant cell arteritis or temporal arteritis.  Ayurvedic medicines reduce the inflammation within the arteries promptly, while the pain within the arteries as well as in the surrounding areas also subsides quickly.  In addition, treatment with Ayurvedic herbal medicines also prevents recurrence of the disease.  An important advantage of Ayurvedic herbal medicines is that it can prevent complications like blindness.  This is because Ayurvedic medicines treat inflammation and prevent blockage of the arteries.
Ayurvedic herbal treatment is therefore very effective in the treatment and cure of giant cell arteritis or temporal arteritis.

Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Hypercholesterolemia

Hypercholesterolemia is a condition in which there is an increase of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) as compared to high density lipoprotein (HDL) in the blood.  This may result from inappropriate lifestyles such as reduced activity, ingestion of food containing high amounts of fat, and a familial tendency to have high cholesterol in the blood.  Hypercholesterolemia can cause various problems such as an increased risk of paralysis, heart attacks, and the blockage of circulation to the limbs, which may result in ulcers and gangrene.
Hypercholesterolemia can be treated with several Ayurvedic Herbal medicines which are highly effective in reducing the bad cholesterol from the blood.  These medicines treat both the cause of the disease and its after-effects in the body.  The medicines improve the ratio of bad cholesterol to good cholesterol, reduce the tendency of blood to stick together and form clots, and reduce the risk of thrombosis both in the heart as well as the brain.  This treatment therefore also prevents further complications resulting from hypercholesterolemia.  In addition, the same medicines help to improve the condition of the liver as well as the kidneys, and also improve appetite and help in reducing weight.
Ayurvedic herbal medicines need to be taken for about two to three months regularly in order to treat hypercholesterolemia effectively and to prevent its recurrence.  In addition, adequate lifestyle changes have to be adopted, such as regular exercise, eating good food, and avoiding unhealthy food.  Timely intervention in the form of medication and adopting healthy  lifestyle changes can prevent serious complications in the long run.

Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Hypochondriasis

Hypochondriasis is a medical condition in which the affected individual feels that he or she suffers from a particular disease due to a set of perceived symptoms or signs, which do not have any concrete medical basis.  Such affected individuals typically visit a lot of doctors and undergo repeated investigations, which usually turn out negative.  Rather than suffering from the symptoms of any particular disease, it is the fear of disease which troubles such people.  It is usually very difficult to convince affected individuals that they do not have any particular problem.  Repeated counseling and assurances are required in the management of hypochondriac people.

The Ayurvedic management of hypochondriasis consists of giving medicines to boost the confidence of the patient as well as giving medicines which increase the natural immunity as well as vigour and vitality of the person.  In addition, medicines are also given to improve the positive outlook of the person, so that the affected individual is able to face life and day-to-day activities in a normal manner.  Loss of confidence, anxiety, and negative outlook of life are common in hypochondriac people.  Ayurvedic medicines help to remove all these negative feelings, and bring about a positive outlook and improved confidence in the affected individual, so that the person is able to cope up with his or her problems.  Needless to say, such people still required counseling and reassurance that they do not suffer from any serious medical condition.

Hypochondriasis is a complex condition, and different individuals may present in different ways.  Each affected individual needs to be treated in a tailor-made fashion, with innovative treatment programmes and appropriate psychological handling.  However, a judicious combination of counseling and Ayurvedic treatment helps to properly manage most people with hypochondriasis.

Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Huntington's disease (Huntington's Chorea)

Huntington's disease, also known as Huntington's chorea, is a rare disorder of the nervous system which has a hereditary component, and involves degeneration of the nervous system.  Symptoms of this condition include tremors, muscular in coordination, falls, blurred vision, and dementia.  This medical condition is progressive in nature, and symptoms gradually increase over one or two decades, leading to significant morbidity and mortality.  Since this condition is related to a degeneration of the nervous system, there is no treatment or cure for this condition in the modern system of medicine.

Ayurvedic treatment is especially useful in the treatment of Huntington's chorea, since Ayurvedic medicines are very useful in the treatment of nervous system disorders.  Ayurvedic medicines help to regenerate nerve cells, brain cells, and repair the damage to the nervous system.  Usually, degeneration of nerves involves damage to the outer covering of the nerves; this results in impaired functioning of the nerves, with a loss of nerve conduction and control of the limbs.  This results in severe impairment of the motor as well as sensory components of the nervous system.

Ayurvedic treatment consists of oral medication as well as massage of the entire body with medicated oils, followed by fomentation.  Since this disease is progressive, Ayurvedic treatment is required for several months, usually for four to six months, in order to bring about considerable improvement in this condition.  A lot of patience and perseverance is required in the treatment of this condition.  However, the results obtained with Ayurvedic treatment can be significant, and can completely alter the patient’s life for the better.

Ayurvedic treatment can therefore improve or bring about a near cure in patients with Huntington's disease.  It is important to commence treatment at the earliest possible, in order to bring about maximum improvement.  Regular treatment is essential in order to obtain the required results.  To sum up, Ayurvedic treatment is very effective in the management of Huntington's disease or Huntington's chorea.

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.
