Diabetes- causes,symptoms and managment

Diabetes mellitus is a clinical syndrome characterized by an increase in plasma blood glucose(hyperglycaemia)## In ayurveda- Diabetes is named madhumeha/prameha in Ayurveda. Diabetes in Ayurveda is literally translated as “sweet urine” because “Madhu” means sweet and “Meha” means urine.## It is a chronic metabolic condition in which the body is unable to adequately utilize glucose, resulting in hyperglycemia and sugar in the urine.## Types-type-1,type-2## Type-1 autoimmune destruction of insulin producing cells(beta cells) in the pancreas,leading to marked insulin deficiency. It was once better known as juvenile diabetes. Type 1 diabetes need to take insulin every day. This is why it is also called insulin-dependent diabetes.## Type-2 -reduced sensitivity to the action of insulin and an inability to produce sufficient insulin to overcome this insuin resistance.## This is the most common type of diabetes.## Insulin is a hormone made by your pancreas. pancreas releases insulin into bloodstream. Insulin acts as the “key” that unlocks the cell wall “door,” which allows glucose to enter your body’s cells. Glucose provides the “fuel” or energy tissues and organs need to properly function.## According to Ayurveda, primary causes of diabetes-## • Being physically inactive## • Eating too much sweet food## • Eating too many foods that cause an increase in Kapha## • Excessive use of curds## • Excessive sleep, including sleeping during the daytime## Symptoms of diabetes include- • Increased thirst.## • Weak, tired feeling. • Blurred vision.## • Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet. • Slow-healing sores or cuts.## • Unplanned weight loss. • Frequent urination.## • Frequent unexplained infections. • Dry mouth.## Other symptoms • In women- Dry and itchy skin, and frequent yeast infections or urinary tract infections.## • In men- Decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle strength.## Type 1 diabetes symptoms Symptoms can develop quickly – over a few weeks or months.

You don’t need to fast before this test.## normal-less than 5.7%, Prediabetic-5.7-6.4%, Diabetic-higher then 6.5%## 4) Oral glucose tolerance test- In this test, blood glucose level is first measured after an overnight fast. Then drink a sugary drink. Then blood glucose level is checked at hours one, two and three.## Normal-less than 140gm/dl, Prediabetic-140-199gm/dl, diabetic-200gm/dl 0r higher## risk factors- • Testing for Type 1 diabetes: Test in children and young adults who have a family history of diabetes. Less commonly, older adults may also develop Type 1 diabetes. Therefore, testing in adults who come to the hospital and are found to be in diabetes-related ketoacidosis is important. Ketoacidosis a dangerous complication that can occur in people with Type 1 diabetes.## • Testing for type 2 diabetes: Test adults age 45 or older, those between 19 and 44 who are overweight and have one or more risk factors, women who have had gestational diabetes, children between 10 and 18 who are overweight and have at least two risk factors for type 2 diabetes.## • Gestational diabetes: Test all pregnant women who have had a diagnosis of diabetes.

HYPERACIDITY(AMLA PITTA)-CAUSES,SYMPTOMS AND MANAGMENT ACOORDING TO AYURVEDA & MODERN SCIENCE

Our stomach produces hydrochloric acid to digest the food that we eat. Whenever we eat, cells within the lining of the stomach pump acid to liquefy all the elements of that sumptuous dinner.## Problems occur when these cells produce large amounts of acid, more than stomach needs. When this happens, you will suffer from stomach acidity. You would know if you were suffering from stomach acidity if you feel a burning sensation just above the stomach, or right below (the hollow part) your breastbone. This is the most classic sign of acidity.## The first thing to rule out would be your diet – if it consists of refined, acidic or oily foods then they are most likely the reason behind your acid indigestion.## According to Ayurveda, acid reflux is caused when the heat energy within our cells, known as Pitta, becomes imbalanced. Pitta is located in the stomach and is symbolized as a sharp, intense, hot and acidic energy.## When an individual consumes pitta aggravating foods like vinegar, citrus juices, tomatoes, chilies, onions, garlic, alcohol, and fried foods, it leads to heartburn. Consuming caffeine and sodas also aggravates the pitta. Stress, irregular eating patterns, sleep deprivation and taking painkillers as well as antibiotics also increases production of heat toxins which leads to heartburn. Let’s find out more about acid reflux treatment in Ayurveda.## Acidity and Ayurveda## In Ayurveda, acidity is referred to as Amla Pitta. By its very name, we can see that this disorder is caused by an imbalance of Pitta Dosha. The humor is governed by the elements of Fire and Water; these, in turn, govern the digestive fire and stomach enzymes. This is also the reason why people of Pitta constitution tend to suffer from hyperacidity, peptic ulcers, and heartburn. Things that aggravate the Pitta dosha like stress, anger, hot and spicy foods, the extremely hot environment can also bring on a bout of acidity.## While Pitta is usually the one blamed for acid indigestion, the Kapha dosha has its seat in the stomach and the chest. Because Kapha controls the digestive juices and generates mucus, indigestion that stems from weak metabolism and mucus congestion are common patterns in acid reflux.## You can identify a Kaphic acid reflux if you have a feeling of sluggishness, feel a bitter taste in your mouth after late-night meals, chest congestion in the morning, a heavily coated tongue and a tendency to pile on weight.## Body part(s) involved- Esophagus Stomach Intestine Usually seen in Adults above 30 years of age## Gender affected Both men and women Causes Of Acidity-## Some of the common causes of acidity include: 1. Food and dietary factors- Eating spicy foods containing excessive amounts of chillies, pepper, vinegar, and paprika Deep fried and oily foods, Excessive intake of caffeine in the form of tea, coffee, and chocolate, High intake of table salt, Diet low in dietary fiber, Overeating or eating at irregular intervals, Unhealthy habits like lying down just after eating, Eating just before strenuous physical exercise.## 2. Lifestyle factors- Frequent smoking, Excessive intake of alcohol, soda or carbonated drinks, Lack of sleep, Lack of physical activity.## 3. Ailments and medications- Excessive stress, anxiety, or depression, Stomach diseases like peptic ulcer, gastro-esophageal reflux disease and stomach cancer, Medications like painkillers, antibiotics, chemotherapy medications and antidepressants.##  Risk Factors Of Acidity- The following conditions are related to increased risk of acidity:- Medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, celiac disease, and connective tissue disorders like - Delayed stomach emptying, Overweight/obesity, Pregnancy, Women who are nearing menopause, Women on hormone replacement therapy.## Symptoms Of Acidity-## Respiratory problems Sudden weight loss Burping and belching Vomiting Dry throat and chronic dry cough Lack of appetite Pain in ears Heartburn Chest and stomach pain Hair loss Bitter taste in the mouth Irritation in the rectal region Flatulence The pressure in the chest after eating Feeling of restlessness The occurrence of blood may be seen in the stools## Diagnose- Endoscopy Barium pH Monitoring Esophageal Manometry## Diet & Lifestyle Advice-## Avoid tea, coffee, and carbonated or alcoholic beverages. Avoid processed and fermented foods. Avoid using garlic, ginger, onions, tomatoes, and vinegar in cooking. Also avoid rich gravies, sour, salty, and spicy foods. Curd should be strictly avoided at night. Take meals in a relaxed atmosphere at regular intervals. Practice Yoga and Pranayama such as Vajrasana, Bhujangasana, Salabhasana, Bhastrika Pranayama,Shitali Pranayama and Shitkari Pranayama.## Medical management-## As the disease is of Pitta origin, all measures are undertaken to pacify pitta. Line of treatment Avoid causative factors Palliative treachakarma treatment When patient cannot be well managed with oral medications ‘Panchakarma procedures’ like Vamana (emesis) or virechana (purgation) whichever is needed should be administered. In chronic cases Asthapanavasti (medicated enema) is indicated.## Some important single drugs- Shatavari - 3 gm twice a day with milk## Yashtimadhu - 3 gm twice a day with milk## Amalaki (Indian gooseberry) - 3 gm twice a day with water## Sunthi (dry ginger) - 1- 3 gm twice a day with water## Treatment in modern science - Antacids: Aluminum Hydroxide, Magnesium Trisilicate & Calcium Carbonate## H2 receptor blockers: Famotidine & Ranitidine ## Proton pump inhibitors: Omeprazole, Pantoprazole & Rabeprazole## Prokinetic drugs: Domperidone, Metoclopramide & Levosulpiride## Coating drugs: Sucralfate & Colloidal bismuth (CBS)## Home Remedies to Prevent Acidity- Take powder of roasted cumin and coriander seeds (25 gm each) and mix with 50 gm of sugar.

CONSTIPATION(VIBHANDA)-INTRODUCTION,CAUSES,SYMPTOMS & MANAGMENT (ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA & MODERN SCIENCE)

Introduction- Ayurveda says that constipation is vibhanda, which is marked by symptoms like fewer bowel movements, solidified hard stool, painful defecation, bloating, abdominal discomfort, and incomplete elimination. Vata dosha is responsible for excretory function while a vitalized vata is the reason for constipation.##  Constipation is an acute or chronic condition characterized by dry and hard infrequent stools that are painful or difficult to pass. ## The sedentary life-style and wrong eating habits are responsible for constipation. When one is facing difficulty to pass stools from several weeks or longer it leads to chronic constipation. Constipation can become a serious problem if not treated on the right time. Constipation can be quite beyond a simple slow or obstructed bowel movement. Constipation can be secondary or as an associated symptom of other pathologies like depression, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine, gastritis etc.## causes of Constipation -bloating is caused by a weak digestive fire or agni. In Ayurveda, this condition is called Aadhmaana, and it is a type of vata imbalance. Occasional bloating or gas is normal but when it becomes regular and persistent, it a sign and symptom of digestive imbalance.## Abdominal bloating can be painful and uncomfortable. uncomfortable. Not only your stomach appears bigger and your clothes don't fit right, but you may also feel full despite eating very little. Sometimes, your poor eating habits are to blamed for this health condition. Not chewing your food well, eating certain foods that are difficult to digest for you, eating when you are stressed or taking in more calories than required could lead to bloating.## Food habits- Eating heavy and fatty foods, which can delay stomach emptying Raw and uncooked food, which is difficult to digest for a person with weak agni and poor digestion Some beans Cold food and drinks Drinking milk (in some adults) Drinking carbonated drinks and gassy food Swallowing air when eating too quickly, drinking through a straw, chewing gum or sucking on candies## Addiction and medicines- Smoking Certain medicines like narcotics and calcium channel blockers slow down the gut, and may lead to gas being trapped in the bowel. Medical conditions A gastrointestinal infection, blockage or disease Irritable bowel syndrome, a condition characterised by abdominal pain, cramping and changes in bowel function Conditions such as celiac disease or lactose intolerance in which the intestines aren’t able to digest and absorb certain components of food. Stress or anxiety## Preventative advice The expert also recommends the following remedies to prevent or treat bloating: * Chew roasted fennel seeds post meals * Drink mint water throughout the day * Have cardamom water one hour post meals * Enjoy CCF (cumin, coriander, fennel) tea thrice a day before or after meals * Swallow half a tsp of ajwain (carom seeds), rock salt and a pinch of hing with warm water 45 minutes post meals## 1.Enjoy mostly cooked foods. Do you know there are two types of cooking? One that happens in the kitchen and the other inside our bodies. When you have a strong internal fire, you can tolerate a certain amount of raw food. But if your digestive fire is weak, and you are experiencing symptoms of bloating and gas, you definitely need to favour cooked food. It is easier to digest and gentle on your system.## 2.Spice up your food. In ayurvedic cooking, we use spices and ghee not only for taste but also for medicine! Some of the common spices that balance the agni or digestive fire are cumin seeds, ajwain, fennel seeds, ginger, and asafoetida.## 3.Use ghee. Ghee helps to lubricate your food and hydrate your intestine for proper digestion, absorption and elimination.## 4.Chew thoroughly. Why do we have 32 teeth? Of course, for chewing and smiling perfectly. Chewing is an important part of digestion. When we rush our meals, we don’t give adequate time for the first stage of digestion that occurs in our mouth. Slow down and chew – ideally up to 32 times each mouthful. And chewing some fennel, ajwain or cumin seeds after food also aids digestion.## 5.Eat mindfully. Sitting quietly and eating slowly is the secret of happy digestion.## 6.Drink 30 minutes after, not before and during, your meal. Ayurveda says drinking liquid before and during your meal dilutes your digestive enzymes and dampens your digestive fire. However after your food has settled (approximately 30 minutes), it is good to drink some herbal tea like ginger tea, cumin tea, ajwain tea or butter milk (ayurvedic lassi).## 7.Eat smaller amounts. Ayurveda discourages eating to full capacity. It loads our system, giving it too much work to do. A rule of thumb is to fill our stomachs throughout the day with 50% solids, 25% liquid leaving the remaining 25% empty. But this is a personal experiment. Find out what works for you to keep it light.## 8.Herbal medicine Triphala: Triphala is a mixture of 3 medicinal fruits that treats the entire digestive tract.## Hingwastak powder or tablet:-    Ashta Choornam: Ashta choornam is an ayurvedic preparation that is excellent for the digestive tract. It stimulates appetite, assists proper bowel elimination, and prevents accumulation of gas.

Warts are growths on the skin caused due to infection with human papilloma virus (HPV).Most HPV types cause relatively less harmful conditions like common warts, but some can cause cause serious disease such as cancer of the cervix.## In Ayurveda, warts can be compared with Charmakeela. The pathogenesis of this disease due to vitiation of Vata along with Kapha over the skin causes the development of hard nail structures called Charmakeela.##The incidence of warts is highest in children and young adults.## In Ayurveda, the features are described on the basis of domination of the Doshas.## 1. In Vata dominated Charmakeela- patient feels pricking type of pain,## 2. in Kapha domination it appears like nodule without changing the color of the skin, ## 3. in Pitta dominated Charmakeela due to vitiation of Rakta (blood), it appears blackish in color, dry, oily and hard in nature.## According to modern science, different types of warts have been identified, which are differing in shape and site, as well as the type of human papillomavirus involved. These include:- ## 1.Common wart (verruca vulgaris): A raised wart with roughened surface, most common on hands and knees## 2. 2. Flat wart (verruca plana): A small, smooth flattened wart, tan or flesh colored, which can occur in large numbers; most common on the face, neck, hands, wrists and knees.## 3.Filiform or digitate wart: A thread or finger-like wart, most common on the face, especially near the eyelids and lips.## 4.

Mosaic wart: A group of tightly clustered plantar-type warts, commonly on the hands or soles of the feet.## 6. Genital wart (venereal wart, condyloma acuminatum, verruca acuminata): Wart affecting the genital areas.## The management of warts- ## The management of warts depends on the age of the patient, the site of infection, the size, number and types of warts involved, the patient's immunological status, treatment availability and cost, and the patient's desire for therapy and ability to adhere to the treatment regimen.
