Lupus(SLE)
A condition affecting the immune system is lupus. When someone refers to "lupus," they frequently mean systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which is the most prevalent kind.
Your body is shielded against infection by your immune system. However, your immune system targets your own tissues when you have lupus. Illness and tissue damage result from this.
Overview
SLE, also known as systemic lupus erythematosus, is an autoimmune condition. This illness may arise from the body's immune system unintentionally attacking healthy tissue. The brain kidneys, joints, skin, and other organs could all be impacted. The likelihood of SLE in women is over ten times higher than in men. It could occur at any age. That does, however, most often appear in young women between the ages of 15 and 44. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many body systems such as your joints skin kidneys, blood cells brain heart, and lungs.
Lupus symptoms and indications frequently resemble those of other conditions, making diagnosis challenging. Some people have a predisposition to lupus from birth; this can be brought on by infections, certain medications, or even exposure to sunshine. Lupus can be difficult to diagnose because its signs and symptoms often mimic those of other ailments. Some people are born with a tendency toward developing lupus, which may be triggered by infections, certain drugs, or even sunlight.
Causes
SLE is presumably caused by genetic susceptibility coupled with an environmental trigger, which results in defects in the immune system. Some of the factors associated with SLE are vitamin D deficiency, sunlight, infections, and medications.
Symptoms
Chest pain when taking a deep breath. Fatigue. Fever with no other cause. General discomfort uneasiness or ill feeling (malaise). Hair loss. Weight loss. Mouth sores. Sensitivity to sunlight. Skin rash -- A "butterfly" rash develops in about half the people with SLE. The rash is mostly seen over the cheeks and bridge of the nose. It can be widespread. It gets worse in sunlight. Swollen lymph nodes.
Ayurvedic View
Aama dosha janya vikara- due to following of nidanas (causes) like consumption of virudha ahara ( incompatible food), adhyashana (having food before digestion of previous food) etc, leads to agni mandhya (low digestion or metabolism) forms aama (disease causing toxin) and along with aggravation of vata, pitta dosha and when person consumes guru (heavy), abhisyandi ahara (food that which blocks channel) etc, this aggravated vata and pitta dosha carries aama to sarvanga shareera, (all over body-involving skin and organs also) initiating inflammatory process, this is lupus. Ayurveda way of approach is to correct agni (metabolism) of jatara agni (metabolism) and dhatuva agni (cellular metabolism), bring dosha back to prakruta awastha (balanced state-place,quality and normal functioning), reduce the symptoms, rehabilitate the affected area and reduce the remission of this disease by ayurvedic panchakarma treatment and internal medication.
