Ayurvedic Treatment For Erythema Nodosum

Abstract

We are a generation that is more obsessed with the outer appearance and hence splurge on beauty products like there is no tomorrow. However, have we ever contemplated on whether the product is actually beneficial for us? or if it results in more harm -the complete opposite of what was intended? Skin is definitely one of the parts of our body which is cared the most and is all the more exposed to than any other -hence leaving skin more prone to infections, inflammations, injuries, tanning, scar, bruises etc. let’s take a look at one of the conditions that affect our blood and skin.

erythema nodosum

What is Erythema Nodosum

We are definitely not alien to skin inflammations that occur. Erythema nodosum, a form of panniculitis- is mostly identified as the same located in the fatty layer of skin by painful, reddish and tender lumps located opposite to the knee below. These nodules may disappear for a few weeks, can vary in size from a dime to a quarter and may cast a bruised look or a chronic indentation as the fatty layer of that area has been compromised when you are relieved of it.

Are You Prone To It and the causes you can Avoid

Erythema nodosum may affect anyone irrespective of any gender or age bar however, more prominent relevance about 3-6 times, has been noted in women of age gap of 25 and 40.Erythema nodosum may be classified under hypersensitivity reactions pertaining to an unknown source, in more than half of the individuals who have been affected. Other causes have been studied to be sourced from any inflammatory drug usage such as sulfonamides, oral contraceptives, unidentified infections or could be even an indicator of malignancy. Even infections of bacterial and viral such as herpes simplex, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), fungi, chlamydia, throat, primary tuberculosis, parasite have been said to set off erythema nodosum.

How Does Erythema Nodosum Present Itself

The aforementioned features such as bumpy, ill defined, mostly arciform painful lesions mostly discovered on the knees, anterior lower legs ,with characteristic color of deep to light red that erupts from time that may exceed to weeks and perhaps accompanied with fever or pain, that may resolve itself given 4-8 weeks’ time .

Allopathy Treatment for Erythema Nodosum

Cure for underlying cause that had set off this reaction may be provided, pain is managed by NSAIDS or venous compression therapies. The patient may be administered with corticosteroids and oral potassium iodide as a supersaturated solution.

Ayurvedic Approach on Erythema Nodosum

Ayurveda is a traditional holistic system of medicine that dates back to 5000 years and stands tall as the system of medicine that addresses our lifestyle practices and gives comprehensive advice on maintaining a healthy dietary regimen and lifestyle, simply through which many diseases may be kept at bay. Ayurveda is truly the science that sticks to the principle of prevention is better than cure!

Ayurveda regards Erythema Nodosum as a shotha (irritation) with a dominating vata and pitta. Hence, Pitta shamak (pacifying) treatment is done to conciliate the daha, lalima, ushma and so on. The redness, tenderness, swelling and temperature resulting from any inflammation may be rightly attributed to the vata and pitta doshas. These four characters address the Vata and Pitta dosha. Since the infection occurs on the fatty layer of skin, Kapha dosha involvement may not be overruled. Blood purifiers which are useful in seborrheic skin and nodules are proven useful in administration of Erythema Nodosum.
