I believe that all of the health ailment can be treated by Ayurveda because Ayurveda believes that our body is ruled and governed by Tri Doshas- Vata, Pitta, and Kapha dosha.

When any of the dosha gets imbalanced or vitiated it results to health ailments. Ayurveda is an ancient method of treatment which included the treatment through herbs.

We are lucky to have Ayurvedic doctors who are continuing the tradition and treating through herbs following the traditional way of treatment.

As per Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, Acharya Sushruta has stated that Bandhya is a type of yonivyapada that has symptom like amenorrhea or oligomenorrhoea.

Similarly Acharya Charka has also described Arajasaka is a Yonivyapada which indicates Amenorrhea.

Ayurveda says our body is managed and governed by three forces which are called vatta dosha, pitta dosha, and kapha dosha, all three moves within the body and help & support the body in performing essential bodily functions.

Imbalance and vitiation in these forces become the cause of diseases. According to Ayurveda PCOS is consider to be the result of imbalanced Vata Dosha particularly Apan vata is responsible, other two doshas is also responsible but major is vata.

As per dosha the symptoms of PCOS are-

Vata dosha is major which is visible with painful periods, irregular menses, low weight and etc.
Pitta dosha is also responsible which manifests as hair loss, acne, painful menses, clots, heart problems
Kapha is predominance and manifests as increased weight, infertility, hirsutism , diabetic tendencies, coldness

Talking about the treatment of PCOS by Ayurveda includes different methods

Ayurvedic Therapies for PCOS

Below are the Ayurvedic therapies that are practiced to treat PCOS:

Basti (Herbal Enema)

This procedure includes enema by medicated oil or decoction, which is done through the rectum. Basti helps to balance and pacify vitiated vatta, which gives which is cause of PCOS.

Virechan (Herbal cleansing)

This therapy helps in flushing out the toxins such as vitiated pitta out of the body. The therapy includes herbal mixture that encourages the bowel movement in order to throw out the doshas through the rectum.

Vaman (Herbal vomiting)

Vaman is the therapy which includes the procedure to flush out the Kapha from the body. Vaman includes the herbal medicines to let the toxins come out of the body through vomiting. The procedure is painless, helps in detoxification, and balances the hormones.

PCOS can also be treated and managed through diet- 7 Tips for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Try a Low- GI Diet
Don’t skimp on breakfast
Eat enough healthy fats
Cut down on carbohydrate
Eat enough quantity of lean protein
Stay active

What is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder which results in enlargement of ovaries and formation of small cysts on the outer line of ovaries.

PCOS is the disorder that affects a woman’s hormone levels which leads to over production of hormones higher-than-normal amounts of male hormones.

This imbalance results to skipping of menstrual periods in PCOS and becomes a big reason for no conception.

The symptoms which clear that one is suffering with PCOS:

Acne, oily skin, and seborrhea.
Enlarged ovaries with multiple small cysts,
Oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea
Lack of ovulation which leads to infertility
Abnormal bleeding during periods
Facial hair growth
Problems with blood sugar regulation
Male-pattern hair loss and fat deposition
Weight gain or obesity
Hyper pigmentation on neck and face

Causes or the factors that may play a role:

Excess insulin- Function of Pancreas is to produce hormone called Insulin which allows cells to use sugar which gives energy to the body.
Excess of anything is dangerous same goes for insulin, when it is more than the requirement it may increase androgen production that brings complication in ovulation.
Low-grade inflammation-The term itself describes that is related to production of white blood which has the function to fight against infection.
PCOS is a type of low-grade inflammation that encourages polycystic ovaries to produce androgens that can lead to heart and blood vessel problems.
Heredity- PCOS is also can be due to hereditary reason.
Excess androgen-Over production of androgen by ovaries, can result in hirsutism and acne.

PCOS can be lead to these complications which can be reason of other disease-

Infertility
Gestational diabetes or pregnancy-induced high blood pressure
Miscarriage or premature birth
Severe liver inflammation caused by fat accumulation in the liver
Metabolic syndrome — too many problems together like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels which can be risk of cardiovascular disease
Sleep apnea
Depression, anxiety and eating disorders

It can also be coupled with endometrial and uterine cancer. So, yes we can say that PCOS is a life-threatening disease to some extent.

Will taking the pills help PCOS?

Many modern doctors suggest that birth control pills can manage the menstrual cycle but I would suggest to take Ayurvedic medicines like Kanchnaar Guggul, Stri Vyadhihari Tablets, Stri-Poshak Syrup, and Rajahpravartani Vati because these free from side effects.

Avoid taking birth control pills for PCOS; sometimes it can cause severe side effects.

Today in this era when people are too much into junk food and disturbed lifestyle, usually complain about IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) which affects our large intestine.

IBS is an idiopathic, functional, gastrointestinal disorder which is characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits.

According to Ayurveda, Agni (AMA) is the base (mool) of life. As per Ayurveda “Jathar Agni” is digestive fire which is present in stomach and duodenum.

Grahani is the main seat of Agni and both are interdependent. Ayurveda says, the small intestine is correlated to Grahani, because of its properties to restrain the food that we eat.

Digestion and absorption of food are done in Grahani. It is nourished by the strength of Agni. ‘Mandagni’ is imbalanced or vitiated form of Agni, which means weak digestive fire.

The food is not digested properly due to Mandagni that leads to AMA Dosha (accumulation of toxins), it results in most of the diseases.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome treatment involves alleviating the aggravated body energies, restoring the function of the digestive system and the elimination of accumulated toxins.

A major cause of this disorder is stress; lifestyle guidance and herbs to nourish the mind and nervous system is part of treatment.

Nervous system– Abnormality of the nerves in the digestive system may result in the discomfort that is abdominal stretches which is because of gas or stool. The coordination between brains and intestines be very weak which can result to disturb digestive system, resulting in pain, diarrhea or constipation.

Poor digestion as a result the intake of improper food at improper times, or skipping meals
Imbalance of the nervous system

Might be you never heard the term leucoderma. But about 0.5 to 2% of the world’s population is recently suffering from this disease.

Believe or not, every disease has somewhere connected to what we eat. This problem also has.

But before discussing about what we should eat and what not in leucoderma, let’s explore what is the problem is actually about?

Leucoderma

It is a leucoderma skin disorder in which the affected person’s skin found to have white patches. It does not cause any pain or itching and not even spread person to person i.e.

It is not contagious. This disease occurs because body at that particular site is unable to produce melanin (a molecule that gives color to the skin). Some person also knew this problem with the name of vitiligo.

However, sometimes this skin condition might be wrong judged by the people as there are also other skin problems that also show the signs like this for instance, white scar, hypopigmentation, or nevus depigmentosus.

So, how can you identified that you are suffering from leucoderma?

The white patches in leucoderma –

Increase gradually in size

Looks milky white under UV light

Has an outline darker than the skin

Shape is irregular

So, what are the symptoms of leucoderma?

Milky white patches

Change or loss in the color of inner layer of eye

Graying of hair on eyelashes, eyebrows, and scalp

The pattern of this disease can be seen in three ways: generalized, segmental and focal. In generalized pattern, the color loss extent across many parts of the body, basically in a symmetrical way.

In segmental pattern the color loss arise only one side of the body and in local the skin color is limited to only some parts of the body.

But what is the reason behind leucoderma?

The exact cause of this disease is still under investigation but as per some researches, this problem occurs due to:

Faulty immune system

When the body self-defense mechanism mistaken color producing cells as foreign particles, the synthesis of melanin get hinder. This is one of the major causes behind this skin condition.

Hereditary

If parents suffer from the symptoms of leucoderma, then the risk of this disease gets higher for the children.

Nerve damage

This happen in case of segmental pattern, where the area of skin that comes in contact with dorsal root of spinal cord get affected.

Oxidant-antioxidant system

This system can also be the reason of disturbed melanocytes production and cause white patches on the skin.

These four reasons can be the cause behind irrupted melanin synthesis and finally the leucoderma in skin.

There are medicated ways, through which this disease can be managed, but as per ayurveda, the food can play a significant role in maintaining leucoderma because correcting food habits, you can beat the most prevalent cause of leucoderma which is disturbed immune system of the body.

So, first let’s explore what type of food should totally avoid in leucoderma?

Citrus fruits

Fruits like oranges, lemon, lime, and kiwi should avoid, because these are rich in vitamin c, which is a potent de-pigmenting agent.

Soda bi carbonate present in aerated drinks should also not consume.
Other food items like garlic, onion, tomato, tamarind, blueberries, papaya, amla, pomegranate, brinjal, pickle, green chili, grapes, red meat, fish, oily-fried food and curd should also avoid strictly.

These are those food items which are totally avoidable in case of leucoderma. As these food items can make condition more aggravated. The immune system cause more issues and it can be the biggest problem in treating leucoderma.

But, there are some food items from which a person suffering from leucoderma can have but in limited form.

What type of food should have but only in a limited amount or as per dietician recommendations?

Milk products, chicken, fermented food, coffee and chocolate.

Now the next question that is running in everyone’s mind is then what should we eat in leucoderma?

Vegetarian source of copper, vitamin D3 and vitamin B12, turmeric, beetroot, carrot, radish, omega 3 fatty acids, figs, dates, apples, banana, leafy vegetables like lettuce and kale, and chickpeas.

These foods are best to have during leucoderma. These help to correct the immunity system of the body and improves the synthesis of melanin.

But acquiring good eating habit is not enough to naturally control the leucoderma, rather the whole lifestyle also should be adopt as per to correct the problem.

So, what lifestyle changes should be needed to adopt in leucoderma?

Avoid a direct contact with sun, especially during its peak hours.

Say no to swimming.

Don’t use rubber or plastic wear.

Never use bindi or stickers.

Don’t wear tight clothes or undergarments.

These are the things which you need to take care of if your are also suffering from leucoderma.

You only need to understand one thing and that is our lifestyle, especially our diet is the basic element which can make a condition worse or better. So, never go for foods that contribute in aggravating the leucoderma.

Hope you have understood what leucoderma is, how important to manage this problem and what should eat and what not during this condition.

In last, let’s find out the answer of most prevalent questions related to leucoderma –

At what age, the chances of leucoderma onset are highest?

Answer: from the ages of 10 to 30, the risk of having leucoderma is high.

Is leucoderma also having any association with any disorder?

Answer: yes, it has a significant association with the problems, diabetes, mellitus, thyroid, pernicious anemia, and addison’s disease.

Does vitiligo patients are more prone to skin cancer?

Answer: Not really. But such patients’ skin is sensitive and can affected more easily as compared to the normal skin.

Should people with leucoderma use sunscreen?

Answer: Without any second thought, this is one of the best way to protect your skin. A broad spectrum medicated sunscreen protects the skin from harmful uv rays and pollutants. Just make sure to buy a sunscreen only after consulting your doctor.

Mostly all the cases of tonsillitis are caused by infection with a common virus, but bacterial infections can also cause tonsillitis. As appropriate treatment for tonsillitis depends on the causes, it’s very important to get a prompt and accurate diagnosis. A common procedure to treat tonsillitis is surgery is usually performed when bacterial tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, doesn’t respond to other treatments or causes serious complications.

Causes

Tonsillitis is mostly caused by common viruses, but bacterial infections can also be the cause. The most common bacteria which cause tonsillitis is Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus), the bacterium that causes strep throat. The tonsils are known as immune system’s first line of defense against bacteria and viruses that enter the mouth. This function tends to make the tonsils particularly vulnerable to infection and inflammation. However, the tonsil’s immune system function decreases after puberty a factor which may account for the rare cases of tonsillitis in adults.

The tonsils sit at the back of the throat. They are collections of lymphoid tissue that form part of the immune system.Although tonsillitis can be uncomfortable and unpleasant, the condition is rarely a major health concern. Most people will recover from tonsillitis within a few days, whether they take medication or not. Most symptoms will resolve within 7–10 days.
