Managing pancreatitis with Ayurveda offers a holistic and integrative approach to this challenging condition. Ayurvedic therapies, rooted in centuries-old wisdom, focus on rebalancing the body's doshas, primarily targeting the agni (digestive fire) and reducing inflammation. Herbal formulations and customized dietary plans are tailored to individual constitution and imbalances. Through a combination of specific herbs, detoxification processes, and lifestyle adjustments, Ayurveda aims to alleviate pain, control inflammation, improve digestion, and promote overall well-being for individuals suffering from pancreatitis, thereby enhancing the quality of life and supporting the body's natural healing processes. However, it is crucial to approach Ayurvedic treatment in collaboration with conventional medical care to ensure comprehensive management and patient safety.
सारांश
- Pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition of the pancreas, a disease increasingly prevalent in modern times. While there's no direct reference in traditional Ayurvedic texts, its symptoms can be correlated to existing concepts. Historically, the disease was first reported in the 17th century, with tropical pancreatitis being reported in India in 1985. Typical symptoms include severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, backache, weight loss, steatorrhea, and uncontrolled blood sugar.
- Diagnosis relies on both traditional Ayurvedic methods (PSE reading) and modern rological reports like MRCP, ERCP, endoscopic ultrasound, CT scans, and blood tests measuring serum amylase and lipase. Conventional treatment involves hospitalization, intravenous fluids, painkillers, enzymes, antibiotics, and fat supplements. The prognosis for chronic pancreatitis is often irreversible, progressive, and can be fatal.
- A clinical database from Parav Speciality, spanning from 1997 to the present, shows an increasing number of pancreatitis cases. The geographical distribution of these cases indicates a high prevalence across India, with a strong correlation to dietary and mineral deficiencies. The majority of patients are between 19 and 45 years old, and males are more affected than females.
- Interestingly, a large percentage of patients (66%) are non-alcoholic, and tobacco consumption and family history play less significant roles. Cases are classified into various categories including chronic calcific, chronic, genetic, and acute pancreatitis. The Ayurvedic treatment protocol includes Amar, a herbomineral compound, supportive medications, and customized diets, with a focus on mental and physical rest for recovery.
- Data collected from Parav indicate a significant reduction in emergency attacks and an improvement in the quality of life of patients undergoing the Ayurvedic treatment. Long-term follow-ups show promising survival rates, along with the observation that it helps lower CA 19.9 levels, a tumor marker associated with pancreatic cancer. Further research is ongoing to understand the pharmacological properties of Amar and its effectiveness in treating pancreatitis.
