LUNGS AND ITS PROTECTION IN ANCIENT AYURVEDA MEDICINE : MY EXPERIENCES

Ayurveda considers whole body as a composite, compared to  functioning of systems. The interruptions in food habits and living differentiates the body's natural resistance to the circumstances. 

 The lungs contain many different types of cells. Most cells in the lung are epithelial cells. Epithelial cells line the airways and make mucus, which lubricates and protects the lung. The lung also contains nerve cells, hormone-producing cells, blood cells, and structural or supporting cells. The pulmonary endothelium forms a single layer of mesenchyme-derived and non-fenestrated endothelial cells. This serves as a semipermeable barrier separating the pulmonary circulation from the lung interstitium, regulating macromolecule, nutrient, leucocyte and fluid transfer. 

Endothelial dysfunction is characterized by alterations in endothelium regulating functions, resulting in imbalanced production of relaxing and contracting factors, pro-coagulant and anticoagulant mediators or growth inhibiting and promoting substances. Physiopathological mechanisms that lead to endothelial dysfunction or reduced EDRF/increased EDCF include risk factors for cardiovascular diseases such as hypercholesterolemia, tobacco use, insulin resistance, hyperglycaemia. Reduced production and/or bioavailability of NO is considered the central mechanism responsible for endothelial dysfunction. Clinically, endothelial dysfunction syndrome can be evidenced by local or general vasospasm, or thrombosis, and is associated with the development of atherosclerosis and restenosis, and vascular complications associated with several cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

Most texts regarding endothelial dysfunction focus on the altered release of endothelial vasoactive substances, without considering vasoplegic conditions caused by increased release of vasorelaxing factors.   

The studies suggest that, the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus within endothelial cells suggests that direct viral effects, as well as perivascular inflammation, may contribute to endothelial cell injury. It is likely that endotheliitis, endothelial injury, endothelial cell dysfunction and impaired microcirculatory function in different vascular beds contributes markedly to life-threatening complications of COVID-19, such as venous thromboembolic disease and multiple organ involvement.

 My Experience:

In my experience, I have treated many cases of emphysematous lung conditions. Chronic obstructive airway diseases., allergic asthma, etc. All recovered with in 3-6 months of treatment and many did not get any symptoms for more than 15 years.  According to ancient Ayurveda, all body functions depend on agni or digestive power, balance of excretion of unwanted things during development of body and its utilisation. The cellular activities depend on agni principle to maintain its integrity. So, proper foods, daily activities, seasonal activities, place of living all included in treatment or maintaining health.  Improper or  opposite quality foods in Ayurveda clearly defines that certain diet and its combinations, which interrupts the metabolism of tissue, which inhibits the process of formation of tissue and which have the opposite property to the tissue are called as Viruddha Ahara or incompatible diet. So, irrespective of taking rich vitaminous  food,  its the digestive,  absorb-able, and cellular integrity  plays the role in body mechanisms of integrated development and functions of the body. as said  in Ayurveda; the ancient medicine.

CONCEPT OF RASAYANA AND GERIATRICS , BENEFICIAL IN MAINTAINING GOOD HEALTH AND LONGEVITY

Image
           We think that, we are aged and could not find any answer to see that we are  healthy again in routine. The only science of Ayurveda deals with the, maintenance of health by means of rasayana or rejuvenation therapy. The balance of the body depends upon the place we are Living, the food we eat in season approximately to the Inheritance brings about the normalisation of Biochemistry of human science ,which leads to they normalization of functions of the organs and system to maintain the body to cope of with the surroundings as if he or her is younger and extending his or her's longevity.The word Rasayana means clearing the channels for the natural flow of matter and energy.The concept of anti-aging is described in Ayurveda as Rasayana , which aims at maintaining excellent physical and mental health in mature age through a combination of nourishing diet, wholesome activities, and gentle herbs.Jara also called as Vardhakya (aging) is defined as ...

CARTILAGINOUS DAMAGES MAY BE SLOW PROCESSED OR ACUTE ON INJURIES ; EITHER BY PATHOLOGICAL PROCESSING. AYURVEDA HAS GOOD REMEDY. BETTER SWITCH ON FOR GOOD FUNCTIONING OF CARTILAGINOUS JOINTS EARLIER.

Image
      Ayurveda has said all disease process is due to untimely food, excessive food, not taking food  properly with season.Easily digestible , after hungry with all shadrasas food is to be consumed.  Cartilage is a resilient and smooth elastic tissue, that covers and protects the ends of long bones at the joints and nerves, and is a structural component of the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes, the intervertebral discs.Cartilage helps keep the trachea open and flexible. Cartilage in the weight-bearing joints such as the vertebrae, knees and hips absorb impact from movement, and help disperse the body weight. Cartilage cushions all the joints, allows gliding movement, and reduces friction between bones.Three types of cartilage; hyaline, fibrous, and elastic cartilage are explained. Hyaline cartilage is the most widespread type and resembles glass.Fibrous cartilage has many collagen fibers and is found in the intervertebral discs and pubic symphysi...

SPONDYLOSIS and PAIN, earlier attention is important than to suffer a life long ; a concern.

Image
      Spondylosis is the  degenerative conditions of the spine causing pain. Most often,  osteoarthritis of the spine, is  commonly used to describe any manner of spinal degeneration. Irregular food habbits, over eating  improper exercises to joints contributes to stiffness of joints and changes causing  pathological joints. Gastritis, improper digestion, imbalance of nutrition causes slowly degenerative changes. Earlier switching on to ancient Ayurveda surely helps in normalising the joints.    Patients suffering with lumbar (low-back) spondylosis the symptoms may include generalized aching, pain, or stiffness in the low back, including muscle spasms or tightness. If there is pressure on the spinal nerves we may have numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness in the legs also known as a radiculopathy. The main complication of spondylosis is low back, mid back, or neck pain. Usually the back and neck pain caused by spondylosis is not serious,...
