Natural Treatment of Syringoma (benign adnexal tumor)

Abstract

To the casual observer, the skin is a passive, somewhat dull body’s covering. Celebrated for its flexible, soft, elastic qualities, this covering is surprisingly resistant to corrosive liquids, blunt trauma, effects of harmful light and other radiations. The basic framework of the skin includes epidermis, basement membrane zone overlying dermis and subcutaneous fat. Moreover, the appendageal structures include pilosebaceous units, apocrine and eccrine glands situated in the dermis but are in the connection with epidermis as they are arised from it during embryonic life. The adnexal tumors are the group of tumors like lesions or tumors arising from these pilosebaceous structures, eccrine and apocrine ducts and glands. One of such benign adnexal tumors is Syringioma. This article is focused on this disease and its best Ayurvedic management.

Introduction

Syringoma is a benign adnexal tumor derived from intraepidermal eccrine (acrosyringium). Recently, the transitional portion between the dermal duct and acrosyringium or lower acrosyringium origin have been also believed  as origins. Syringoma is more prevalent in young women approaching or after puberty. The most frequent type is although the localized variant of syringoma in eyelids of middle-aged women.

Sign and Symptoms of Syringoma

Causes

Syringioma can be hereditary transmissible. The postzygotic somatic mutations or mutations within the zygote are considered responsible for the familial or unilateral syrigioma that may or may not affect gonadal mosaicism in the affected patients. Other causes of Syringomas are overactive sudoriferous glands, obstruction in the channels/ducts of eccrine glands. Further, the risk factors include history of diseases like  Marfan syndrome, Down syndrome etc. People with oily skin and patients of Diabetes mellitus are prone for developing Syringoma.

Ayurvedic Aspect

Syringioma in Ayurveda can be understood as a kushtarog (skin disorder) arised due to the svedvaha srotas dushti (vitiation of microchannels/ ducts associated with sweat).

Charka Samhita Vimana

(Reference- Charka Samhita Vimana sthana 5/7)

The basic seats of Sved Vaha srotas are meda(subcutaneous fat) and lomkoop (pilosebaceous glands/ducts) according to Acharya Charka. This vitiation of sved vaha srotas due to underlying cause will lead to the deformities in meda and lomkoop, and will lead to the formation of these papules under the influence of vitiated tridosha predominantly pitta dosha.

Conclusion

Skin tumors are the most common tumors encountered in day-to-day life. Syringoma is a benign and relatively harmless tumor of the skin that may be attributed to the more frequent medical care seeking due to cosmetic reasons in women. In Allopathic medicine, they focus on steroidal therapy or local application of corticosteroids which on long term use have severe hazardous effects on skin as well as on the whole body. Further, if this treatment plan doesn’t succeed they suggest for surgical excision of these papules. But that too have many post-surgical complications and the chances of recurrence is quite high. So, the best method of treatment of these Syringoma is with Ayurvedic herbal medicines, along with some modifications in diet and lifestyle.

Meralgia Paresthetica – Causes, Symptoms & Management With Ayurveda

ABSTRACT

The nervous system is an important system of the animal’s body, which coordinates human behavior and transmits signals to different parts of the body. Two main parts of the Nervous system are known as CNS (Central nervous system) and PNS (Peripheral nervous system). Nerves are part of the Peripheral Nervous System. The nervous system is responsible for the reflex action of the body, that it receives and sends messages and also processes them into chemical signals known as impulses in the human body. Many types of disease can occur due to improper functioning of nerves. Meralgia Paresthetica is occurring, when the LFCN (Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve) is compressed.

When the nerve which is responsible to supply sensation to the skin surface of your thigh is compressed, it leads to Meralgia Paresthetica. Myelin is the outer covering or protective sheath of the nerve. Myelin sheath irritation or Nerve irritation occurs due to compression or pressure which leads to loss of conduction of sensory impulses to the brain results in numbness. Inflammation due to this damage can lead to injury and damage that result in Paresthesia. Paresthesia is a tingling or a prickling sensation. It is also called a pinched nerve.
