How to Treat Scleromyositis with Herbal Remedies?

Abstract

Scleromyositis is a rare autoimmune disease which is characterized by the overlapping of the clinical symptoms of two connective tissue diseases (CTDs) --- Scleroderma (Systemic sclerosis) and Polymyositis. Although Scleroderma and Polymyositis are two well-defined autoimmune diseases, the simultaneous manifestation of the symptoms of both the conditions is termed as Scleromyositis (also called Scleroderma-polymyositis overlap syndrome). This disease can be effectively managed in a natural manner with the help of some beneficial herbal products available from Planet Ayurveda herbal manufacturing company.

Scleromyositis: Overview

Scleromyositis is an autoimmune disorder --- that is, a disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the healthy cells, especially the connective tissues. It is a systemic connective tissue disease, which is categorized as an 'overlap syndrome.' People suffering from Scleromyositis show signs of Scleroderma and Polymyositis, both of which are two distinct connective tissue diseases.

Scleromyositis is one of the most common overlap syndromes observed in patients affected by Scleroderma. This overlap syndrome involves the immunological and clinical characteristics of Scleroderma as well as Polymyositis at the same time. Scleroderma is a group of rare disorders which is marked by the hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues, whereas Polymyositis is a rare inflammatory disorder which is marked by muscle weakness on both sides of the body.

Scleromyositis: Causes

The exact cause behind the occurrence of Scleromyositis is not clearly known to the doctors. Nonetheless, it is believed that the disease is apparently associated with an overproduction of collagen in the body. Collagen is the main structural protein which holds the body together, and is found in the bones, skin, tendons, and muscles.

An overproduction of collagen and its accumulation in the body tissues can stretch the skin abnormally, and also harden and thicken it. The condition can also be potentially damaging to some of the vital organs of the body, including the heart, kidneys, and lungs.

Scleromyositis: Symptoms

The symptoms of Scleromyositis can vary from patient to patient, because the condition is a Scleroderma-polymyositis overlap syndrome. In general, the symptoms of the disease largely involve skin. Some of the symptoms of Scleromyositis are:

• Skin discoloration (especially affecting fingers/toes)
• Tightening and hardening of skin
• Skin rashes
• Joint pain
• Swollen joints
• Inflammation of muscles
• Muscle stiffness
• Muscle weakness (usually affecting the upper arms, shoulders, and thighs)
• Raynaud’s syndrome (a medical condition characterized by reduced blood flow – to fingers, toes, etc. – due to spasm of arteries).

Scleromyositis: Treatment

The treatment of Scleromyositis depends on the symptoms of individual patients. However, since the disease is an autoimmune disorder, the treatment mostly involves the use of immunomodulating or immunosuppressive medications.

Planet Ayurveda offers effective herbal remedies like Ashwagandha Capsules, Musli Strength, Boswellia Curcumin, Gandhak Rasayan, Aamvatantak Churna and Nirgundi oil for ayurvedic treatment of scleromyositis. These herbal remedies are 100% natural and free from side effects.

ABSTRACT

The gastrointestinal tract is an endoderm derived organ system that terminates at the anus and originates at the mouth. This controls blood flow and regulates secretions which ultimately maintain proper physiological balance.

This disorder can be managed naturally and safely by Ayurvedic treatment to avoid surgeries and long term side effects. Ayurveda manages this diseases with herbs, herbal remedies, and proper diet. Planet Ayurveda provides the effective herbal remedies for Hirschsprung disease.

Hirschsprung disease is a devastating neurocristopathy disorder usually associated with the inability to pass meconium along with discomfort and abdominal distension. This condition is severe conditions necessitate surgical removal of aganglionic bowel. HSCR is a birth defect in which there is an absence of ganglions (nerve cells), this ultimately blocks the movement of stool through intestines (peristalsis). Peristalsis is a process that creates wave-like contractions that propel stool and other toxic materials from the digestive system. Abnormality in this process may lead to constipation and obstructions of bowel partially or completely.

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEASE

Hirschsprung disease usually affects males from 3-4 times as compared to females. According to the studies, this disease affects approximately one in 50,000 individuals once in a lifetime. This occurs shortly after birth and may develop in adults with a history of constipation.

It is believed that if a person is predisposed to disease and carries a gene, but the symptoms don't get triggered without any external environmental factor. There are two main groups of genes i.e. RET genes and ENDRB genes. Some of the genetic syndromes like Mowat-Wilson, Waardenburg, Bardet-Biedel, Cartilage-Hair hypoplasia, etc. can be associated with this disorder.

SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS INVOLVED IN HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEASE

Newborn with HSCR show a major symptom that includes failure to pass the meconium shortly after birth. Meconium is a dark-colored substance of sticky consistency present in the intestine at birth and is passed as the first bowel movement after birth.
