Abstract
The disease is also known as myopathy. The disease is seen maximum in above 18 years of adults and it is more common in females. Most people above 31 to 60 are mostly affected. The skeletal muscles are more affected than others and that’s why the patient is unable to walk properly and feels difficulty in doing daily routine work. So today’s topic is very important and in order to know more about this disease let us discuss this disease in detail.
Introduction
It is a type of muscle disorder in which the muscle gets weaker. It may be an ongoing chronic disease because as the patient feels lethargic they ignore the signs and symptoms and get busy doing daily routine work. In this disease the muscles of the trunk area are more affected than hips, thighs and shoulders. The disease mostly affects the both sides of the trunk area and after a long period of time they get worse. Let’s proceed further and see what ayurveda has to say about this!
Ayurvedic Aspect
Vata is said to be the strength of the body and vata is life , vayu is very good for health and promotes the movements of the body but if it gets disturbed the movements of the body get restricted and show various kinds of symptoms like this disease. If vata dosha moves in the wrong path of the body the body function is unbalanced and life will get short. The vata dosha gets disturbed due to the consumption of rough and cold food, excessive blood donation, excessive exercises, falling down and injury. These all are the vata dushti causes and show very dangerous effects to the body. The increased vayu dries the small channels of the body and shows first symptoms like stiffness of the joints and muscles. So we can correlate this condition with vata dosha janya mamsa vaha srotas dushti.
Causes
