Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia derives from Latin word, fibro means “fibrous tissue”, Greek word Myo means “muscles” and algos an Greek word means “pain” thus the term literally meaning is “muscle and connective tissue pain”. Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized with musculoskeletal pain accompanied by the sleep, fatigue, memory and mood issues. Women are more sufferer of fibromyalgia than men. There is no cure for this disorder, but can be controlled by medications.

Researchers believe that in fibromyalgia, there is a severe painful sensation by affecting the way by which brain processes pain signals. The repeated nerve stimulation causes the brain of people with fibromyalgia to change. This involves an abnormal increase in levels of certain chemicals in the brain that signal pain.

According to Ayurveda, fibromyalgia is a Mamsa dhatugat (muscular tissue based) and mamsavrut Vata (muscular issues affected by the vata dosha). The body consist of three humors (Vata, Pitta and kapha). This disorder is caused by the aggravation of the vata dosha in the body. Aggravated Vata destabilize the nervous system and can create the hypersensitivity, hence leading to pain and tenderness. There is also the accumulation of the Ama (toxins) which blocks the body channels which can also be another cause of fibromyalgia.
