Ayurvedic Treatment of Fibromyalgia (CFS)
Fibromyalgia is a recently recognized disorder that is regarded as a
chronic
condition associated with the experience of non-inflammatory pain and
tenderness
in muscles, ligaments , joints and fatigue. Fibromyalgia is a
relatively common
condition, estimated to affect about four percent of the general
population.
It is very similar to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS); Only point of
difference is
presence of musculoskeletal pain in fibromyalgia and that of fatigue
in CFS.
Symptoms :
Generalized aches or stiffness at many sites for more than three
months.
Generalized fatigue........
Ayurvedic View :
It can be described as 'Mansa Dhatugat and Mansavrut Vata' Fibromyalgia
is
perceived as a Vata imbalance. Vata is the main imbalance and
Aggravated
Vata destabilizes the nervous system and can create hypersensitivity
leading
to pain and tenderness. Accumulation of Ama (toxins) and shrotorodha
are also
contributory factors.
Ayurvedic Approach of Fibromyalgia and CFS Treatment :
The aggravation of Vata dosha and accumulation of Ama (toxins) are the
primary
causes and should be treated mainly. Associated weak digestion,
constipation,
and effects of chronic stress should also be tackled.
Panchakarma Therapy :
Pre-purification Measures namely 'snehan' and 'swedan are very useful
to balance
'Vata' and to loosen the toxins. Snehan is the Herbalized Oil Massage.
This oil is
applied to the entire body ........
Diet and Nutrition :
Following is the diet suggested for the patients suffering form
Fibromyalgia and CFS
Vegetable juices and soups
Coconut water and Coconut milk
Juice of carrot, Cucumber, Beetroot
Khichadi (recipe made by cooking rice and mung dal, 1:1 or 1:2
proportion)....
The patient of Fibromyalgia and CFS should avoid the following:
Eating hot, spicy and fried foods, sweets, foods like brinjal, cabbage,
Cauliflower,
spinach, broccoli, okra and potatoes.
Too much tea, coffee, alcohol, white sugar, yogurt, chocolate, cocoa.
Sleeping during the day and staying up late at night
Mental tensions like worry, anxiety, fear, stress and grief.
Yoga for Stress Management and Improved Mental and Emotional Function:
It is well documented that fibromyalgia is often worsened by heightened
stress,
anxiety and mental fatigue.........
Efforts should be made to increase the Sattvic quality of mind.
Yogasana : Various stretching exercises are known to have a positive
effect
on fibromyalgia.........
Lifestyle and Daily Routine :
One of the most important factors for balancing Vata and maintaining
stability in the
nervous system is to have a lifestyle that does not disturb natural
bodily rhythms............
Ayurvedic Herbs:
Decoction of the roots of ten herbs (Dashamularishtam) should be given
in the
dose of 30 ml., twice daily.
Daily use of the Ayurvedic compound 'Triphala choorna' is recommended
to
cleanse the colon........
