How to Treat Nabothian Cyst Through Ayurveda

Abstract

A cyst is a lumpy growth filled with fluid or semisolid substances in it. Nabothian Cyst is found in females in their cervix, which is located at the lower end of the uterus, above the vagina. Cysts are non-cancerous and are not much harmful but still need to be removed soon from the body to prevent future complications and health problems. In this article, we will get to know the causes of its occurrence and associated symptoms with it. We will also discuss why cysts are so common these days and what can we do to prevent it and what are ayurvedic measures to cure the cyst problems.

Introduction

Nabothian Cyst is a cyst on the surface of the cervix also called the cervical canal. They are tiny bumps filled with mucous. These cysts are non-cancerous and are very commonly found nowadays in people. Nabothian cysts are small in size up to 4 millimeters in diameter. They are generally smooth and whitish in color. These are not painful but show some abnormal symptoms.

Why are cysts formed?

Cysts can grow anywhere in the body and they differ in appearance according to the location of their formation. They can be on the skin surface- sebaceous, epidermoid cyst, or inside body in any organ like- the breast, kidney, ovary, cervix, etc. Cysts are needed to be differentiated from pseudocysts. Cysts are not harmful until they are infectious and very large. Cysts are formed when the excess protein is trapped under the skin or a hair follicle. Nabothian Cyst is formed due to the irregular production of mucus that covers the healthy glands in the cervix, creating a barrier that traps the mucous inside the gland.

Causes of Nabothian Cyst

Why is it becoming common these days?

Due to excess unhealthy diet intake and living a sedentary life, unhealthy life and unhygienic intercourse habits had increased the chances of infections and diseases like Nabothian Cysts these days.

Ayurvedic aspect

Nabothian Cyst can be correlated to “Yoni Kanda”. Yoni Kanda is a swelling filled with pus and blood in the cervical region due to an imbalance of doshas and physical trauma. Trauma can be due to various reasons in the Yoni. Vata and Pitta Dosha’s aggravation leads to the formation of Kanda. The Kanda is described as irregularly shaped but with a rounded structure that is filled with fluid that contains pus and traces of infected blood. The ayurvedic treatment focuses on the pacification of doshas and treating the disease naturally.

Growth of excessive skin cells

AYURVEDIC ASPECT AND MANAGEMENT OF PARANOID PERSONALITY DISORDER

Ayurveda has considered the mental and physical diseases as two separate specialised subjects only in certain contexts. However, no line of demarcation has been drawn between the physical and mental diseases and a flexible psychosomatic approach has been put forward. The Treatment of different psychological illnesses, as described in Ayurveda, reveals that the psychological, spiritual and pharmacological methods have been used side by side to root out the disease.

1. Sattvavajaya Chikitsa

Sattvajaya word means boosting up the satva that is mana (mind) that is the root cause of the disorder. The psychotherapeutic approach to the management has been described under Sattva Vijaya Chikitsa. Aachaya Charaka defines it as a method of restraining or withdrawal of the mind from unwholesome objects (Arthas). It aimed at the control of mind that one should keep himself established in his/her own oneself after knowing the true nature of his/ own soul and attaining the height of spiritualism.

Manaso Jnana, Vijnana, Dhairya, Smrti, Samadhibhih

(Ch. Su. 1/58)

Dhairyatmadi Vijnanam ManodosausadhamParam

According to Aachaya Charak it implies preventing the mind from the desires of unwholesome objects the cultivation of Janan (cognition), Vianan (worldly knowledge), Dhairya (patience), Smrti(recall) and Samadhi (yogic psychotherapy). Samadhi refers to practising yoga and meditation to reduce the waverings of mind ultimately leading to focused and tranquilised mind. All these measures help in developing control over the Manas or mind, which is always unstable.

2. ASHWASAN CHIKITSA

Ashwasan Chikista refers to the word reassurance. It means listening to the patient and counselling him/her accordingly. It relieves fears, boosts self confidence and promotes hope in a patient. The nature of the disease should be explained to the patients freely and frankly, so that the patient develops insight into the disease . Further he should be educated about the necessity of medication and taking treatment. Education about the disease should also include the reasons for relapse of the disease, so that they could be prevented by adopting appropriate measures.
