Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The Muscular Dystrophies (MD) are X-linked disorder that causes progressive degeneration of the muscles. At present, there is no treatment known in any system of medicine which has any evident impact upon Muscular Dystrophies. A variety of treatment like corticosteroids can help to manage the symptoms of the disease, to improve a standard of living and to increase life expectancy but long term use of corticosteroid is associated with significant side effects. The intention of this study is to improve the standard of living and ultimately find ways to treat it. In Ayurveda, MD is parallel to Vata Vyadhi. Muscular Dystrophies can be clearly understood by the concept of Adibala pravritta janya Vyadhi due to the Bheejabhagavayava Dushti. MD can be associated with kshayaja vata vyadhi with particular condition of Manshagat vata. Hence, Shashtikashali-pinda Sweda is expedient in conditions afflicted by Vata, further it is advocated that Shashtikashali-pinda Sweda work as Brimhana and Balya. It provides Dhatu poshana and pacifies the Vata Dosha. Hereby, the purpose of the study is to probable effects of Shashtikashali-pinda Sweda helps in slowing the rate of deterioration.
