AYURVEDIC VIEW OF SCIATICA – GRIDHRASI

Ayurveda is a holistic science, working from more than 3000 years that is since ancient times. This science is serving mankind in a very good manner without causing any harm to their health like long term use of modern medications. As per Ayurveda Sciatica condition can be correlated to Gridhrasi. The description of Gridhrasi Roga is mentioned in almost every ancient Ayurvedic text.

In this condition pressure over gridhrasi Naadi (sciatica nerve) leads to pain in the kati region (hip region) and that pain radiates up to the fingers of the feet. In this condition srotas get vitiated are Raktavaha Srotas, Mamsavaha Srotas, Medhovaha Srotas and Pranavaha Srotas. The definition of Gridrasi Roga as per Ch. Chi. 28/56 is “स्फिक्पूर्वा कटिपृष्ठोरुजाजानुजङ्गापदं क्रमात्। गृध्रसी स्तम्भरुकतोदैर्गृह्णाति स्पन्दते मुहु:।। वाताद् वातकफात् तन्द्र गौरवारोचकान्विता।”. Which means a typical type of pain that starts from the back region and radiates from the back of the lumbar region to thighs, knee, calf and feet respectively.

Causes of Gridhrasi as per Ayurveda are

1. Vata Prakopaka Ka Nidan

  • (causes that aggravates Vata Dosha), lying over a soft bed for a long time, sitting over a soft bed for a long time, excessive walking, trauma, etc.

2. Pathogenesis of Gridhrasi

  • By Vataprakopaka diet and regimen, only vata dosha or vata and kapha dosha get aggravated. These doshas take place into rasa and raktavaha srotas (channels that carry lymph fluid and blood). After that causes pain in the back region, hips, thighs, knees, calf and feet, this condition is known as Gridhrasi.

3. Common Symptoms of Gridhrasi

  • Pain originates in hip region, pain radiates from hip to thigh, knee, leg and foot (in the posterior part) respectively, stiffness in leg, needling pain and pulsations.

4. Symptoms according to types of Gridhrasi

  • There are two types of gridhrasi- Vataj and Vata-Kaphaj Gridhrasi. Symptoms of Vataj Gridhrasi include shooting type of pain, typical curved portion of leg or body, stiffness in joints, tingling sensation in joints and other body parts that are supplied by Sciatic nerve. Symptoms of Vata – Kaphaj Grishrasi are – Anorexia, Drowsiness, Excessive Salivation and poor appetite.

5. Prognosis of Disease

  • Usually Sciatica is difficult to manage, if it is chronic then this condition is difficult to manage, Vata-kaphaj type of Gridhrasi is manageable.

Line of Treatment for Gridhrasi

  1. Siravedana (bloodletting) is to be done from the Sciatic nerve near the ankle.
  2. Anuvasana Basti and Niruha basti are to be performed.
  3. Agnikarma (Thermal Microcautery) is to be done from the Sciatic nerve near the ankle.

Treatment as per Ayurveda

  • Nidaan Parivarjan: The cause that leads to Gridhrasi is to be avoided first.
  • Shodhana Chikitsa: Perform local massage with Prasarini oil or Mahavishgarbha oil. Svedana is to be with Vatahara dravya. In Vata kaphaj type of Gridhrasi Ruksha Svedana is to be performed such as Baluka Swedana or swedana with Saindhava Lavana. In case of Constipation Virechana Karma (purgation Therapy) is performed.
  • Shamana Chikitsa: The Ayurvedic formulations used in Vata Vyadhi are effective in case of Gridhrasi. Formulations such as Yograj guggul, Vrihat Vatchintamani Ras, Dhanwantaram tailam, etc.

Myositis – symptoms, causes diagnosis & ayurvedic treatment

ABSTRACT

Myositis is a group of rare conditions which is an autoimmune disease which affects the muscles and causes weakness and painful muscles. Autoimmune disease is a condition which causes an abnormal response of the immune system which further responds to the functions of other parts. The immune system is made up of various organs and cells which helps to protect the body but in autoimmune disease, the immune cells get attacked instead of attacking. There are over 100 autoimmune diseases which affect the nearby organs of the body. It is more common in women than men. The human immune system produces T cells and B cells which become active within the immune system of the body. When this mechanism fails, self-reactive cells become functional in the immune system and prevent the self-reactive T cells and the negative process starts in the thymus and develops mature immune cells. In autoimmune the cells are damaged from its path. Recently South Indian actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease known as Myositis.
