Ayurvedic Treatment Of Scleroderma (Systemic Sclerosis)

ABSTRACT

The human body is made up of multiple organs and every organ has its specific work and function. For proper functioning of the body, energy is needed. When there is exposure to foreign particles, our body’s natural immune system gets activated and helps against the foreign particle exposure. This is called immunity. When for any reason, our body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues, then this condition is known as Autoimmunity. There are several diseases in which our body’s immune system attacks its own tissues and generates diseases which are known as autoimmune diseases. Here, we are going to discuss such a disease which occurs as a result of Autoimmunity. Scleroderma/Systemic Sclerosis is a type of disease in which the body’s natural immunity is not functioning properly and attacks its own healthy tissues. Scleroderma is a disease with unknown pathogenesis. It is a rare connective tissue disorder. Let’s start a detailed study about Systemic Sclerosis/ Scleroderma.

Scleroderma/Systemic Sclerosis

INTRODUCTION

Scleroderma is a group of autoimmune disorders which is very rare. In this disease, the skin becomes hardened and tightened. Scleroderma is made up of two words that are Sclero (Hard) and Derma (Skin). In this disease thickening and inflammation occurs in the skin and other body areas. It is a perfect example of an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system can not differentiate between healthy tissues and foreign particles. Due to this autoimmune effect, the immune system triggers the body to produce large amounts of collagen protein. Collagen is a protein which in normal amounts helps in supporting the health of connective tissues. When the collagen forms in a large amount it makes skin tissues thicker than normal. Now, let’s start a detailed study about Scleroderma causes, signs, symptoms, diagnosis, its Ayurvedic Overview and Ayurvedic treatment. Also, we learn about the importance of Sclero-Care-Pack by Planet Ayurveda in the management of Scleroderma. Let’s start.

TYPES OF SCLERODERMA

Scleroderma can be divided into two types according to its location of attack which are as follows

  1. Localised Scleroderma : It is known as Localised Scleroderma when it affects the skin tissues. Localised means present in one area. Usually, it does not spread to other areas of the body which means only one part of the body is affected.
  2. Systemic Scleroderma : It is known as Systemic Scleroderma which also affects the internal organs of the body like the digestive system or respiratory system etc. It is more serious as compared to Localised Scleroderma as it affects internal organs. Systemic Scleroderma may be diffuse or limited. In Diffuse type of systemic scleroderma, the thickening of the skin is spread to large areas. As it spreads to wide areas it can affect multiple organs at the same time. In limited types of systemic scleroderma, it spreads to a limited area with the symptoms of extra calcium deposition, esophageal dysfunction, skin tightening and numbness of the skin.

CAUSES OF SCLERODERMA

The cause of Scleroderma is not known exactly. But there may be some possible factors which can lead to the disease of Scleroderma

  • Immune system : It is an immunity-related disorder in which the immune system accidentally attacks healthy tissues of the body.
  • Genetics : It can pass from genes from parents to their children.
  • Environmental factors like any exposure to chemicals, viruses or any other microorganisms etc.

AYURVEDIC OVERVIEW OF SCLERODERMA

Scleroderma is a rare autoimmune disorder in which the skin of the body becomes thicker than normal. Usually, it affects the upper skin of the body but it may also affect the inner organs of the body. It is an autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the healthier cells of the body instead of protecting the body. The immune system in this condition is not able to differentiate between the body’s tissue and foreign invaders. In Ayurveda, Scleroderma can be correlated with Uttan Vata Rakta associated with Twakgata Vata Vyadhi. According to Ayurveda, it is a Yapya Vyadhi (incurable but can be manageable). Vata (dominant) and Rakta (Associated) are the Doshas involved in these conditions. The Dushyas involved are Rasa, Rakta and Mamsa.Vitiation of these Doshas and dushyas can lead to the condition of Uttan Vata Rakta.

Natural Treatment For Acne With Herbal Remedies

Abstract

Clogged hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface are the source of acne, a common skin condition. Lesions, commonly referred to as zits or pimples, develop when pores become clogged with sebum, an oil that keeps skin from drying out. Breakouts can develop in the shoulders, back, or chest, although they most commonly happen on the face.

Acne

Introduction

Acne is a skin disorder characterised by inflammation of the sebaceous (oil) glands that link to the hair follicles that house the fine hairs. In healthy skin, the pore, a follicular opening, allows sebum secreted by the sebaceous glands to escape onto the skin’s surface. Skin cells that line the follicle are called keratinocytes. Keratinocytes often move to the skin’s surface as the body sheds skin cells. When a person has acne, sebum, hair, and keratinocytes stick together inside the pore. This prevents keratinocytes from shedding and prevents sebum from rising to the skin’s surface. When a person has acne, sebum, hair, and keratinocytes stick together inside the pore. In addition to preventing keratinocyte shedding, this prevents sebum from rising to the skin’s surface. Bacteria that normally live on the skin’s surface can multiply in clogged follicles when oil and cells mix to cause inflammation, which manifests as swelling, redness, heat, and pain. Germs, skin cells, and sebum cause lesions or pimples because they burst the wall of the clogged follicle and spill sebum into the surrounding skin.
Most people discover that by the time they are in their thirties, their acne has cleared up, but some continue to struggle with the skin issue well into their forties and fifties.

Types Of Acne

Numerous kinds of lesions, or pimples, are caused by acne. Swollen or blocked hair follicles are known medically as comedones. Types of acne consist of

  1. Whiteheads : A white bump that remains under the skin and is brought on by clogged hair follicles.

    2. Plugged follicles that break open once they reach the skin’s surface are known as blackheads. Rather than being dirty, the reason they seem black on the skin’s surface is because the sebum is discoloured by the air.

  2. Papules : Inflamed lesions that can be sensitive to the touch and typically manifest as little, pink pimples on the skin.

    3. Pustules, sometimes called pimples, are papules topped with lesions filled with white or yellow pus that may have a red base.

  3. Nodules : Massive, excruciating solid lesions buried deep under the skin.

    4. Severe nodular acne, often known as cystic acne: Deep, excruciating pus.

Causes

  1. Excessive or uncontrollable high pore oil production.
  2. The dead skin cells collect inside the pore .
  3. The proliferation of germs inside the pore.

Any of the following conditions may increase your risk of developing acne

  1. Proliferative/Reproductive.
  2. Those with acne may overproduce androgens, or male sex hormones. Puberty usually causes both boys and girls to grow, which in turn causes the sebaceous glands to develop and produce more sebum.
  3. Acne may also be brought on by pregnancy-related hormonal changes.
  4. Family history in the past. Research suggests that having acne-prone parents may increase your risk of developing acne.
  5. Druggists. Lithium, corticosteroids, and hormones are a few medications that may contribute to acne .
  6. Element of age. Acne is more common in teenagers than in people of any age.

Symptoms Of Acne

While acne can occur almost anywhere on the body, breakouts are most commonly observed on the

  • Face, neck, back, shoulders, and chest.
  • Your skin may feel uneven and scratchy after getting pimples.

Along with acne, you could also have

  • Hyperpigmentation, or dark patches or spots on the skin, along with redness, swelling, and inflammation, as well as discomfort and tenderness whether or not touched.
  • Additionally, scarring or discolouration of the skin can result from acne breakouts.
  • Despite how tempting it may be to pop a pimple right away, you should avoid doing so and instead try these strategies to reduce the likelihood of scarring. It can take a few days to many weeks for a pimple to fully go away after it starts. The duration of an acne eruption can vary greatly.

Triggers Of Acne

  • Oily cosmetics
  • Environment factors like pollution, dust, increased humidity
  • Consuming foods high in sugar
  • Consuming dairy products, high protein food
  • Hormonal changes
  • Mensuration
  • Stress
  • Use of medication that contains androgen
  • Touching or squeezing pimples
  • Washing your face more often
  • Using wet towels on the face

Diagnosis

  1. Physical examination

Ayurvedic Overview

According to Ayurveda, acne is correlated with Yuvan Pidika and Tarunya Pitika. It is classified under Kshudra Rogas (minor health ailments). The terms Yuvanpidika and Tarunyapitika are so-called called because it manifests in Yuva or Taruna avastha (adolescence). This condition is also called Mukhadushika because it causes inflammatory lesions and vrana vastu (scars) on the skin. Due to mithya ahaar and vihar (improper diet and lifestyle), there is the production of ama (toxins) in the body. These toxins circulate in the body and cause the vitiation of Kapha and Vata dosha. Rakta dhatu (blood tissue) is also involved in its pathogenesis. These all factors result in the overproduction of sebum due to abnormality in the lomakoop (pilosebaceous unit). Symptoms of different types of acne are manifested according to the dominance of dosha. In Vata-predominant acne there is the presence of pain and scarring whereas in Pitta-predominant acne there is increased redness, inflammation and burning sensation. In Kapha-predominant acne, there are itchy, pus-filled bumps with discharge. Aggravated Vata and Blood are responsible for hyperpigmentation of the skin. According to Acharya Charak, acne is due to the aggravation of Pitta dosha.
