Hypocortisolism is also known as Addison's disease. It is a kind of hormonal disorder that affects the endocrine system of the body and causes less production of steroid hormones by the adrenal glands. Steroid hormones such as glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids are required for the normal functioning of the body. Although the disorder is not so common, but if it is left untreated, it may cause several complications. Ayurveda offers a great way to manage this disorder.
AYURVEDA AND MANAGEMENT OF DISEASE
Ayurveda, one of a powerful system of healing, provides a natural way to cure any disease. It is developed in India, thousands of years ago. Ayurveda believes that any health problem occurs when there is imbalance in dosha or doshas. There are three doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) which are also known as the energies of the body. As they are three in number, these doshas are also known as tridoshas. Ayurveda helps to balance the aggravated doshas and thereby helps in the management of the disease. Balancing of doshas not only involves Ayurvedic medicines, but also a healthy diet and a healthy living style too. Exercise is also given equal importance by Ayurveda in order to maintain a healthy body.
HYPOCORTISOLISM
Hypocortisolism occurs when androgen levels in the body is lower than normal and this condition is more prominent in women. There occurs a deficiency of cortisol in the body due to underactive adrenal glands.
CAUSES OF HYPOCORTISOLISM
Hypocortisolism is also known as Addison's disease. This disorder is caused by the low levels of cortisol or aldosterone or both. The low cortisol levels may be due to low adrenocorticotropic hormone level which is in turn a result of the pituitary gland. These low level of cortisol may occur due to:
- Autoimmune conditions in which immune system attacks the adrenal glands of the body.
- Some infections, such as those of tuberculosis and fungi may pose a risk for developing this disorder.
- Cancer of the adrenal gland is another main cause of Hypocortisolism.
- Genetic causes for Hypocortisolism involve congenital disorders such as Adrenal hypoplasia. It is a condition in which there is an underdevelopment of the adrenal gland from birth.
- Sometimes, surgical removal of the adrenal glands may cause Hypocortisolism.
- The anterior pituitary may be diseased due to infection, cancer or radiation therapy. Underactive pituitary gland may cause ACTH deficiency.
SYMPTOMS OF HYPOCORTISOLISM
The common symptoms of Addison's disease are:
- Hypoglycemia (Low blood glucose levels).
- Muscle weakness, muscle aches and joint pains.
- Weight loss, Fatigue, Nausea, Vomiting.
- Loss of appetite.
- Depression and irritability.
- Dehydration.
- Crave for salty foods.
