Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Care At Every Step!

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a non contagious and chronic autoimmune disease where the immune system treats body’s own tissues as foreign substances and produces antibodies to fight it. The condition is commonly known as lupus, the disease follows an irregular course of remissions and flare-ups, and may often be incapacitating. The disease most often develops between the age of 15 and 44. As like other autoimmune diseases, the exact cause, or trigger, for lupus remains unknown.

Ayurvedic Description Of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus :

Ayurveda describes SLE as an imbalance of all tridoshas. This disturbs all the Dhatus including Skin (Twak), Ras, Rakta and Mansa Dhatu. Vata is the main dosha that gets aggravated mainly among all the three doshas and dushyas are Rasa, Rakta, Mansa and Twak dhatu. The three doshas have the different ratios of dominance; the dosha that has more aggravation has dominant features. The aggravation of the doshas causes vitiation of the Agni (body fire). This leads to the production of Ama (toxins). The aggravated doshas that mainly includes Vata carries the Ama and the other doshas into Ras and Rakta dhatu causing SLE. More the doshas goes to the deeper tissues or dhatus more it is difficult to treat.

Causes and Risk Factors

Genetics

Though exact gene/s are not linked to it but it is seen more in people where some autoimmune disorder is already in the family.

Sex

SLE affects more women than men.

Hormones

Pregnant women face many hormonal changes at the time of pregnancy and they experience more symptoms of SLE and in menstrual periods. So, studies have linked it to the hormonal changes during the pregnancy.

Environment

Stressful environment, pollutants, exposure to UV rays etc. put individuals more at risk.

Medication

Medications such as phenytoin, isoniazid, hydralazine, quinidine, procainamide have been known to induce lupus, however the symptoms of the condition gets subsided once the medication causing it is stopped.

Self Care Tips

  • Avoid any form of self-medication or injudicious use of drugs.
  • Give your body adequate rest as fatigue lowers down the body energy in the condition.
  • To counter stress, yoga and meditation are advised to be an important part of your life.
  • Avoid direct exposure to sun rays, keep yourself hydrated during the day.
  • Diets that build the immunity are advocated.
  • Avoid alcohol and smoking as they might worsen the effects of lupus.
  • Fresh fruits, fiber rich diets are recommended.
  • Heavy food items that take more time to get digested are to be prohibited.

Ayurvedic management of the Lupus or SLE is the balancing of all the three doshas, removing the toxins in the body, control the production of the Aam or toxin formation, enhancing or nourishing the dhatus of the body.

  • With intense gratitude, i am writing these words for 'AAS Ayurveda' that saved me from undergoing an unavoidable surgery. In May 2015, i was diagnosed with a mobile calculus of 7mm in my gall bladder. I was asked to undergo gall bladder surgery by the physician who advised me for the ultrasound. It was around that time, i approached 'AAS Ayurveda' if they have some cure for this as i have read somewhere that these stones can be removed with some Ayurvedic medicines and special diet plans. I was given a dietary regimen along with a prescription of herbal medications which i was advised to follow for the next 10 days. Following this 10 days protocol period designed for me, I was asked to undergo for the ultrasound again. To my great surprise, the stone in my gall bladder was not there anymore. It was flushed away. I express my heartfelt thanks to the ever approachable and empathetic team of 'AAS Ayurveda' for saving me from a surgery and most importantly; an organ of my body.

  • I took detoxification and overweight management plan from AAS Ayurveda, It was just awesomly cherishing, and something I would call ineffable experience for me to put in the words here. I have never felt so light and yet so full. The plan was suitability customised for me so that I will not feel hungry anytime during my day at office. Dr. Bhupesh Vashisht has been very kind and supportive through out this time. He has guided me well about all the details of the plan, my body constitutions, requirements of body. He also helped me to get over of so many myths I was carrying about diet and weight loss. I have lost around 3.5 kgs in 10 days and surprisingly did not give up food at all. Once again, I extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude towards the team of Aas Ayurveda and wishing them all the very best for their future endeavors of guiding people towards a healthy journey.

  • The best thing about AAS Ayurveda is their committment towards their patients. They are always easily approachble and engage deeply with their patients. I would like to thank AAS and their doctors for helping me with a treatment to beat the condition of acne. Actually I had been suffering from acne and pimples on my face from last few years and took lot of allopathic treatment but nothing worked. I got to know about AAS through one of my friend and contacted them. The treatment from AAS Ayurveda really helped me to get rid of acne which I thought once was not possible for me. I see them in great regards for the wonderful services they are providing to their patients.

  • My tedious and tiring working schedule of my job and meetings was keeping me away even from my daily water intake which I only observed when I was asked to submit a detailed case registration form by the team of AAS Ayurveda. I was following a very bad life style with no focus on my dietary habits though I always thought I have been taking healthy food but seldom I noticed it about its nutritious values. Here, AAS came to my help that helped me to manage my diet, work and even exercising schdule. I got the problem of GERD and acidity for which I started to take anta-acids at my own that provided me some initial relief but not after some days. AAS Ayurveda planned my treatment and dietary regimen along with my daily workout schedule. The plan was very detailed and elaborative that showed its results only in 10 days. A big thanks to the entire team of AAS Ayurveda.
