Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Autoimmune Disorders

Autoimmune disorders are diseases which manifest when the immune defence system of the body identifies the body organs and systems as foreign and attacks them, resulting in long term damage and disease. A hereditary predisposition to autoimmune diseases is required, along with environmental factors which trigger the unnatural response of the immune system. Conventional treatment is with steroids and immunosuppressant medicines which can significantly reduce symptoms; however, in most individuals, they fail to provide a complete cure, and may in fact cause a host of severe side effects.

Ayurvedic herbal medicines can be effectively and safely used to treat inflammation, which is the hallmark of all autoimmune diseases. Further, depending upon the organ or system/s affected, specific herbal medicines can be used to provide highly targeted therapy for each individual autoimmune disease. Herbal medicines can also provide immunomodulation, which helps in treating the root cause of autoimmune diseases.

While steroids and immunosuppressants can bring about faster relief from symptoms within a few weeks, these do not actually cure the disease. Ayurvedic treatment may take longer – about 4-6 months – to show significant improvement; however, affected individuals can achieve a complete recovery with regular treatment ranging from 12 -24 months. Ayurvedic herbal treatment can thus provide a comprehensive treatment and cure for most of the autoimmune diseases. It is also important to commence treatment at the earliest, so that organ and system damage can be reversed to the maximum extent possible.

Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Viral Hepatitis

Viral hepatitis is inflammation of the liver with viral infection.  Viral hepatitis can be caused due to different types of viruses known as A, B, C, D, and E.  These infections have different symptoms and presentations and variable long-term outcomes and complications.  Viral hepatitis A usually has an acute course, resolves within a few months, and rarely has any long-term complications.  Hepatitis B, C, D, and E. usually have long-term courses and cause complications like chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and liver cancer.  Vaccines are available for most of these infections.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment is very effective in the management and treatment of all different types of viral hepatitis.  Several medicines have achieved worldwide fame for the specific and effective action on the liver.  Ayurvedic herbal medicines reduce infection and inflammation in the liver cells and help to reduce long-term complications as well as permanent damage.  Many herbal medicines also have specific anti-viral action and therefore help to eliminate viruses which cause hepatitis.

Herbal medicines and combinations are available in tablet form as well as liquid form and can therefore be given both to adults as well as children.  Depending upon the type of infection, the presenting symptoms, as well as the severity of liver damage, treatment needs to be given for periods ranging from four weeks to one year, in order to achieve significant improvement or a complete cure.  Ayurvedic herbal medicines have completely changed the prognosis and overall treatment outcomes for all different types of hepatitis.
