Tuberculosis is one of the major killer diseases of modern times.
Till recently, anti-tuberculosis drug regimes were successful in curing
the disease in a majority of affected patients. However, multi-drug
resistance is fast becoming a major concern for health providers the
world over. Moreover, tuberculosis is no more a disease of only the poor
or developing nations. At least a third of the world's population is
believed to be harboring latent (hidden) tuberculosis, which can later
on give rise to active infection and subsequent transmission to others.
Ayurvedic herbal treatment has a definite and important role to play in the successful management of tuberculosis infection. This role has significance on several fronts. In the last five decades, it has become apparent that all currently available modern drugs for tuberculosis can be potentially toxic to the liver. This may lead to decreased appetite, inflammation of the liver, and in severe cases, irreversible damage and liver failure. There are several Ayurvedic medicines which act favorably on the liver, like Kutki (Picrorrhiza kurroa), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Sharapunkha (Tephrosia purpurea), Kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata), Arogya Vardhini etc. These medicines, when added to the tuberculosis treatment regimes, instantly correct liver problems, and help in a rapid therapeutic response to treatment.
Tuberculosis of the lymph glands, and tuberculosis affecting various organs of the body may be more difficult to treat than tuberculosis of the lungs. Many patients with infected lymph glands continue to have periodical symptoms, in spite of having taken regular, prolonged anti-tubercuosis therapy. Ayurvedic medicines like Kancnnaar (Bauhinia variegata), Kanchnaar Guggulu, Triphala Guggulu prove to be very useful and effective in such situations. Different, specific herbal medicines can be used for the different body organs infected with tuberculosis, so as to give a more rapid and predictable response to treatment.
Multi-drug resistance, re-infection and latent infection have become major causes for worry in the treatment of tuberculosis. Worldwide, the search is on to discover new, more effective drugs and vaccines for tuberculosis. However, for the time being, increasing the immune status of the body appears to be a rational and viable solution to the above mentioned problems. The current focus is, therefore, on immunomodulation, and Immunology is a fast growing field of research.
Ayurvedic herbal medicines are known to significantly improve the immune power of the body, to help it to fight off infections, and prevent recurrence. Some of the important Ayurvedic medicines useful in tuberculosis are: Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Shatavari (Asparagus recemosus), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Yashtimadhuk (Glycerrhiza glabra), Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Abhrak Bhasma, Laghu Malini Vasant, Madhu Malini Vasant and Suvarna Malini Vasant.
In this way, Ayurvedic herbal medicines, given judiciously as supportive treatment to modern anti-tuberculosis drugs, can help solve some of the major problems currently associated with treating tuberculosis.

ReplyDeleteAt the age of 54 I started experiencing lack of muscle control when performing strenuous exercise. It was very periodic, as I got older, the episodes became more frequent, and I started experiencing voice box spasms, excessive sweating, and trouble swallowing. I also started to have episodes when I wasn't so active. My family doctor wasn't able to diagnose my problem, but I was sent to a neurologist and they diagnosed it as Parkinson's. All medications given were not working i had to look for an alternative treatment. I read in a health forum of a herbal clinic in Johannesburg who has a successful treatment to P.D, i immediately contacted the herbal clinic via their website (www.Healthherbalclinic.weebly.com) and purchased the parkinson's herbal formula. I received the parkinson's herbal treatment via courier and immediately commenced usage, i only used the herbal remedy for 7 weeks all my symptoms were unbelievably reversed, i did another series of test i was confirmed free of parkinson's.

ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease a year ago at the age of 68. For several months I had noticed tremors in my right hand and the shaking of my right foot when I was sitting. My normally beautiful cursive writing was now small cramped printing. And I tended to lose my balance. Neurologist had me walk down the hall and said I didn't swing my right arm. I had never noticed! I was in denial for a while as there is no history in my family of parents and five older siblings, but now accept I had classic symptoms. I was taking pramipexole (Sifrol), carbidopa/levodopa and Biperiden, 2 mg. and started physical therapy to strengthen muscles. nothing was really working to help my condition.I went off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started on parkinson’s herbal formula i ordered from Health Herbal Clinic, my symptoms totally declined over a 5 weeks use of the Parkinsons disease natural herbal formula. i am now almost 70 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed!!
