Ankylosing spondylitis
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory condition primarily affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints. Over time, it can lead to the fusion of vertebrae, resulting in a rigid spine and limited mobility. Common symptoms include chronic back pain, stiffness (especially in the morning), and fatigue, often beginning in early adulthood.
Causes
Modern medicine identifies the HLA-B27 gene as a significant risk factor, suggesting a strong genetic link. Environmental triggers, immune dysfunction, and gut health imbalances may also play roles. Stress, sedentary lifestyle, poor digestion, and chronic inflammation are contributing factors that can aggravate the condition.
Ayurvedic Perspective
In Ayurveda, Ankylosing Spondylitis is closely related to “Ama Vata”, a condition caused by the accumulation of toxins (Ama) and aggravated Vata dosha in the joints.
- Ama is the result of improper digestion and metabolism.
- Vata, when disturbed, leads to dryness, stiffness, and pain, especially in the bones and joints.
The combination of these factors obstructs bodily channels (srotas), causing inflammation, stiffness, and degeneration of the spine and joints.
Line of Treatment at Agni Ayurvedic Village
At Agni Ayurvedic Village, our treatment approach for Ankylosing Spondylitis is rooted in classical Ayurvedic principles, customized to each individual’s constitution (Prakriti) and disease state.
- Detoxification (Shodhana Chikitsa):
- Panchakarma therapies like Virechana (therapeutic purgation) and Basti (medicated enemas) are used to eliminate accumulated toxins and balance Vata.
- Kati Basti, Patra Pinda Swedana, and Abhyanga help relieve stiffness and improve mobility.
- Digestive Correction (Deepana-Pachana):
- Strengthening digestive fire (Agni) with herbal preparations to prevent further Ama formation.
- Rejuvenation (Rasayana Therapy):
- Rasayana herbs are administered to restore tissue strength, nourish the joints, and boost immunity.
- Internal Medications:
Some of the classical Ayurvedic formulations we use include:
- Simhanada Guggulu – for detoxification and joint relief
- Yograj Guggulu – to pacify Vata and reduce inflammation
- Dashamoola Kwatha – for its anti-inflammatory properties
- Mahayograj Guggulu, Ashwagandha, and Guduchi for long-term strengthening
Note: All medications are prescribed only after thorough consultation and diagnosis by our Ayurvedic Doctors.
