Understanding SLE: Systemic Lupus Erythematosis is a chronic inflammatory condition which is autoimmune and affects multiple organs of the body. Normally our immune system is built to fight against infection causing diseases but while talking about autoimmune disorder immune system fight against our own system called as self attack. SLE is a long term inflammatory condition degrade the quality of life. Women are more suffered than men. SLE belongs to the family of autoimmune rheumatic disorders characterized by joint disorder, skin rashes and lesion, nervous system disorder, altered mucus membrane. Various symptoms overlap each other. Mostly Vasculitis overlaps SLE.
Risk Factors involves:
- Genetic
- Exposure to sunlight (ultra violet radiations)
- Certain bacterial and viral infections
- Prolong use of certain medications
- Environmental conditions
- Certain eating habits
- Physical and mental stress
Ayurveda and Systemic Lupus Erythmatosis:
Ayurveda revolves around theory of Doshas (body humours), dhatu (body tissues) and Agni (digestive fire). There are 3 doshas vata, pitta and kapha and 7 types of dhatus Rasa (plasma), Rakta (blood tissue), mansa (muscles), meda (fatty tissues), asthi (bones), maja (bone marrow) and shukras (semen) and when all the dhatus are formed completely it give rise to ojas (immunity) formation. When we talk about SLE there is vitiation of Vata dosha, pitta dosha and rakta dhatu that leads to unhealthy tissue formation and at the end the ojas formation is hampered.
Pathogenesis of SLE according to Ayurveda:
Nidan (causative factors): Excessive intake of Katu rasa and Lavana rasa , ratri jagran (waking up late at night)
Dosha dushti:
- Vata- pain in joint, legs, shoulders, blackish discolouration, altered sleep
- Pitta- fever, burning sensation
Dhatu Dhusti:
- Rasa Dhatu- Fever
- Rakta Dhatu- reddish skin lesion, blackish discoloration, itching and ulceration
- Maamsa Dhatu- Blakish discoloration, fatigue, weakness
- Asthi Dhatu- involvement of joints
AGNI:
- Agni mandya (weak digestive fire)
Poorva rupa (prodromal symptoms):
- Intermittent joint pain
- reddishness over face
Rupa (Symptoms):
- Joint pain
- skin lesions
- fever
- pain in lower limbs
Vyadhi vinichya (diagnosis)– Vata rakta

Protocol of Managing SLE in modern medicine with its adverse effects:

- stomach bleed
- hyperacidity
- gastric ulcers
- risk of heart disease

- Easy bruising
- Thinning of bones
- High blood pressure
- Increased risk of infection because it decreases immunity
- Risk of diabetes
Immunosuppressants such as methotrexate, cyclosporine, mycophenolate, azathioprine. As these agents suppress immune system to combat the symptom of the disease, on the other hand it leaves so many side effects like:
- High risk of infections
- Liver damage
- Decrease fertility
- Increased risk of cancer
Belimumab or rituximab are some drugs specific for Lupus given intravenously to reduce inflammation and combat symptoms. Side effects may include:

Antimalarial Drugs like hydroxychloroquine have impact on immune system to decrease the flare up of the Lupus. As it affects the immune system it give rise to some other symptoms in the body:

- Damage to the retina of the eye
- Loss of appetite
- Vomiting

How Ayurveda manages SLE?
According to Ayurveda SLE is the Chronic disorder that affects muscles, joints and lowers the immunity. There are various factors for the vitiation of doshas and Dhatus. The Dhatus (tissues) and srotas (microchannels) are blocked with the toxins accumulated in the body resulting In Ama formation that results in serious illness.

Air frying is the process of frying food with negligible amount of oil in it. For air frying special appliances are used which are called air fryers. Air fryers have become a popular kitchen appliance now-a-days as it is a healthy option in comparison to deep frying involving a lot of oil. Air fryers work on the principle of convection current. The food is kept inside it with a minimal 15ml of oil in it. Then hot air is circulated inside the chamber and the food gets crunchy and crispy from the exterior. A chemical reaction called Malliard reaction occurs inside the food in which an amino acid and a reducing sugar reacts in the presence of heat leading to change in flavor and color of foods.
HOW AIR FRYING IS BETTER THAN DEEP FRYING?

It can be prepared at home, given in restaurants and street stalls.
The ideal temperature of deep frying is around 177 degree Celsius. The oil should not burn or catch fire during the deep frying process, so the oil must have a very high smoking point.
