There can be a variety of causes that may deplete the status of the musculoskeletal system and thus interfere with the day to day activities. One such condition in headlines these days is Myositis. A popular actress Samantha is diagnosed with myositis. Let us learn about this condition in detail.

But the estimated causes underlying this condition can be autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.; viral infections such as flu, cold, etc; drug toxicity, etc. However some reports and research suggest the probability of an autoimmune state to arise from this condition.

There is no yet known specific treatment for myositis. However to manage the condition, corticosteroids such as prednisolone, etc. are prescribed. According to the patient’s condition, some immunosuppressant drugs may also be prescribed. In addition to the medicines, regular physical activity and exercises must be a part of the daily routine. While the modern allopathic medicines fail to effectively treat the condition, let us learn the ayurvedic approach for managing it.

AYURVEDIC ASPECT

Ayurveda is a well flourished science with plenty of beneficial medical facts. The principles of ayurveda explain various ways to get rid of the disease by establishing the equilibrium between the three dosha (vata, pitta, kapha). These three dosha are considered to be the fundamentals of a healthy body. And an imbalance between the levels of these dosha will result in the diseased state.

The condition of myositis can also be a result of the imbalance between the equilibrium of these dosha. In every disease, all the three dosha are vitiated but one or two of them are more prominently hindered, and constitute the major presenting features. In the case of myositis, the major dushti or vitiation is believed to be of the vata dosha. The patient experiences prickling pain which is similar to the characteristic Suchibhedan vata peeda (i.e. pain similar to that of being pricked by a needle) presented by the vitiation of vata dosha. So, the main line of ayurvedic management of the condition of Myositis will require balancing the levels of vata dosha. This can be accomplished by the administration of various ayurvedic formulations. The ayurvedic preparations will help to manage the diseased condition and enhance the health of the body. These ayurvedic products will be described as follows.
