Ayurveda is an ancient science of healing that has existed for 3000 years. Ayurveda revolves around three sharirik doshas vata, pitta, and kapha, and three mask doshas satva, rajas, and tamas. All personality disorders are directly correlated with the vitiation of manasic doshas that in turn vitiates shrink doshas. Acharya has best-described manas roga in ancient texts. Narcissistic personality disorder in Ayurveda is related to Unnmada roga. Unnmada is the manas vyadhi which is best understood as mana (mind), buddhi (understanding), sangya (consciousness), Guyana (perception), smriti (memory), bhakti (inclination), chesta (behavior), sheel (character), Zahara (conduct).

                                                                               (Charaka Samhita)

Our Acharya has mentioned sixteen manas prakriti with features that are based on a person’s behavior and mental activities. These are mainly of three types Sattvik prakriti  (signifies purity, wisdom, enlightenment), Rajas prakriti (signifies the quality of energy, passion, ambition, change), and Tamas Prakriti (signifies darkness, inactivity, inertia). These three have subtypes. Narcissistic personalities have features similar to Asur prakriti which is a subtype of rajas Prakriti. Some peculiar features of Asur Prakriti are as follows.

  • Courageous and bold
  • Aggressive
  • Indulge in self-growth
  • Thinks only about their own benefits
  • Controlling and manipulative
  • Petrifying and cruel behavior
  • Deceiving tendencies

Syndrome X Or Metabolic Syndrome Treatment By Ayurveda

Abstract

Our lifestyle plays a great role in maintaining our complete health. So eating right makes a lot of difference. So that our metabolic function should be up to the mark. Syndrome means a cluster of one or more disease conditions. Metabolic syndrome or syndrome X is a group of conditions that occur together, elevating the risk of cardiac disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. It is also known as insulin resistance syndrome and dysmetabolic syndrome. The conditions included in metabolic syndrome are high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar levels, increased body fat around the waist, and an imbalance in cholesterol or triglyceride levels. Having only one condition does not mean you have metabolic syndrome but you might have certain serious complications. Here in this article, we shall be discussing all the aspects of metabolic syndrome, its causes, symptoms, and management in modern as well as the Indian system of medicine.

Syndrome X Or Metabolic Syndrome

INTRODUCTION

Metabolic syndrome is a syndrome in which there is a combination of heart disease, stroke, and noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus which is responsible for all the pathological conditions. A person is diagnosed with metabolic syndrome when he/she has three or more following conditions:

  1. High blood sugar levels
  2. Increased triglycerides in the blood
  3. High blood pressure
  4. Huge waist circumference (apple-shaped body)
  5. Low levels of good cholesterol (LDL)

As described each condition elevates the risk of cardiovascular disease but having more than three conditions increases the complication of cardiovascular condition and hence called metabolic syndrome. It may lead to fatty buildup in the arteries, the condition is known as atherosclerosis. The foremost common cause includes metabolic syndrome, physical inactivity, and faulty dietary habits that imbalance the triglyceride. The metabolism of a person is hampered hence it is called a dysmetabolic syndrome. It is also called insulin resistance syndrome since it is associated with hyperinsulinemia, uptake of the blood sugar is hampered due to cells becoming resistant to insulin. Metabolic syndrome or syndrome X is related to strotoavrodha (obstruction of stotras or channels) in the body and insulin resistance can be related to the kapha average.

RISK FACTORS

  • An obese person is at a higher site of risk especially carrying extra fat around the abdomen
  • It increases with growing age
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • People with Type 2 diabetes mellitus are more prone to metabolic syndrome
  • Other diseases like polycystic ovarian syndrome, alcoholic fatty liver, hypertension, and dyslipidemia are more prone to metabolic syndrome

COMPLICATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH METABOLIC SYNDROME

  • If weight is not managed properly it will lead to insulin resistance type 2 diabetes mellitus, increases the blood sugar levels
  • High cholesterol and  high blood pressure contribute to plaque formation in the arteries which causes arteries to narrow and hardened which can lead to heart attack or stroke

 PREVENTION

  • Physical exercise at the latest 30 minutes
  • Controlling stress levels through yoga, pranayama, and meditation
  • Healthy weight should be maintained through lifestyle and dietary changes
  • Saturated fats and salts should be taken within limits
  • Smoking should be prohibited
  • Eating more proteins, whole grains, vegetables, and fiber

AYURVEDIC ASPECT AND MANAGEMENT 

Ayurveda is an Indian system of medicine that existed thousands of years ago. It believes in holistic healing through nature and herbs. It is very effective in managing diseases by correcting their root cause. In ayurveda vitiation of strotas is responsible for the development of any kind of disease inside the body. Metabolic syndrome is related to shrotodhusti (vitiation of doshas). In any kind of disease nidan (causative factors) causes dosha dusty (vitiation) and these vitiated doshas get collected  in strotas (strotodhusti). And if favorable conditions occur, disease conditions arise. Vata dosha has a tendency to move frequently throughout the body in microchannels as well when dosha dust occurs, especially kapha dosha in metabolic syndrome the movement of vata ceases, giving the symptoms of kapha ovarian.

Management protocol of sorts dusti here involves cleansing of channels so that all the dosha work together in harmony and vata dosha restores its flowing nature. Some rejuvenation (rasayana) therapies are also helpful like shilajit & Guggulu (Comiphora mukul) along with milk can be helpful. Chyavanprasha is a rasyanic formulation according to ancient texts is also beneficial.
