SARCOIDOSIS NATURAL TREATMENT

Sarcoidosis is marked by small patches of swollen tissue called granulomas which are inflammatory cells in any part of your body. It most commonly affects the lungs and lymph nodes but can also affect the other organs like eyes, skin and heart.

It’s cause is unknown, but it is widely believed that it is a immune response of body to some unknown substance. Some of the research suggests that some infectious agents like chemicals, dust and a potential abnormal reaction to the body’s own proteins could be the reason for the granuloma formation in body.

There is no known sure cure for sarcodiosis and is a rare condition. Sarcodiosis causes granulomas in lungs which can turn into fibrosis resulting in permanent lung scarring.  A granuloma is an area of inflammation caused by your immune system where white blood cells have been walled off to protect your body against something harmful according to the immune system. These granulomas then get surrounded by the fibrous tissues which are dense and hard.

HOW AYURVEDA HELPS

According to Ayurveda Sarcodiosis is a Dhatugat vikar. Due to nidan such as ingestion of unwholesome food, food which is too dry or too light, over exerting oneself, staying awake at night and others lead to vata vitiation. This vitiated vata along with other doshas disturb the normal cycle of body which results in ama formation. This ama or toxin accumulates in the empty spaces in the body which leads to sarcoidosis in various body parts. Ayurveda helps in ama pachan i.e. removal of these toxins from body.
