Ayurvedic Treatment of SCLC with Home Remedies

Introduction

SCLC refers to Small Cell Lung Cancer. Let’s have a quick overview on its modern aspect. Lung cancer is the deadliest type of cancer in both male and female. It is mainly of two types i.e., Non-small cell lung cancer (most common type of lung cancer) and Small cell lung cancer (About 20% of all lung cancer cases).

SCLC (Small Cell Lung Cancer)

Causes

Lung cancer is more common in old people than adults. It is rare in people under age 45. Cigarette smoking is one of the leading causes of lung cancer. Mostly passive smoking increases the risk of small cell lung cancer. Other risk factors include exposure to cancer causing chemicals such as uranium, beryllium, nickel chromates, chloromethyl ethers, vinyl chloride, mustard gas, coal products, gasoline and diesel exhaust, high levels of air pollution, and radiation therapy to the lungs, etc.

Symptoms

Symptoms of SCLC in early stages include chest pain, cough, fatigue, loss of appetite, difficulty in breathing, wheezing, and loss of weight.

In late stages, symptoms of lung cancer are eyelid drooping, joint pain, facial paralysis, inflamed face, swallowing difficulty, shortness of breathing etc.

Ayurvedic Aspect of Small Cell Lung Cancer and its Management

Dosh Dushti in Phuphphusarbuda (Vitiation of Dosha involved in Lung Cancer)

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian medical science. In Ayurveda, Small Cell Lung Cancer may be correlated with Tridosha Dushti, mainly Kapha & vata Dushti (Vitiation of Tridosha mostly with vata & kapha dosha predominance). Small cell lung cancer is highly malignant cancer and Ayurveda defines these types of changes as Granthi or Arbuda or Vidradhi, all develop from Shotha. Shotha is a general term given to all kinds of inflammations. Shotha is of three varieties vata, pitta and kapha on the basis of the vitiated dosha involved. Tridosha vitiations in SCLC interacting with each other may result in proliferation of lung cells. Continuous increase of Vata Dosha is the biggest cause for malignancy in lungs and its Chirkaritva Guna is the cause of chronicity of lung cancer.

Strotas Dushti in Phuphphusarbuda (Vitiation of Micro-channeled environment involvement in SCLC)

Tumor microenvironment allows lung cells to become malignant and as per Ayurveda these microenvironments can be directly related with Strotasa. Let’s discuss about these Strotasas in brief:

  • The Strotasas are channels where different bodily elements are produced or transformed, they are also responsible for the transportation of various elements. Acharya Charka describes that all the visible elements in the body possess an independent strotasa or channel for their production, transformation or transportation. (Ch. Vi. 5/3).
  • Strotasa is merely a hollow channel or space and is independent of the elements which make or constitute it. It is independent of its location and also of the factors it transports. (Ch. Vi.5/4)
  • Even if the Strotasa are described as mere hollow spaces, these spaces or channels display a definite shape and perform certain special functions. Charaka has described a total 13 Strotasa. The first three of them are responsible for intake of air, water and food.

with breathing) in kapha sthanam (seat of kapha) is affected in SCLC. In SCLC, these channels of Pranvaha Strotas display in indefinable shape and the function of lungs get affected which leads to various symptoms in the body.
Thus, in SCLC, air is one of the main causative factors therefore Pranavaha Strodushti is the key to treat in SCLC.

Pranavaha Strotasa Mul Sthan and its Stroto Dushti (Basic seat of Pranavaha Strotas and its vitiation)

As per Acharya Charka, the basic seats of Pranavaha Strotas are Hridaya (heart) and Mahastrotasa (Gastrointestinal tract/ respiratory tract). And as per Acharya Sushruta Hridaya and Rasvahi Dhamani (lymphatic vessels). The transformation of Vayu (air) from outside atmosphere into its bodily acceptable form is also a process which takes place in Mahastrotasa and this Mahastrotasa which is the mul sthana (basic seat) of Pranava Strotasa mainly gets affected in SCLC. As per Pranvaha Strotodushti, there is a Sanga of Prana Vayu (contamination of inhaled air by combination with vitiated doshas) that may cause breathing difficulty, coughing, swallowing difficulty etc. Also, Vimarggamana of dosha (movement of dosha from one place to other within the body) cause various symptoms in other parts of the body, Ati Pravritti (increased number of vitiated) of dosha, dhatu (body tissues), malas (excretory products) in SCLC may cause excessive wheezing and coughing, quickly weight loss etc. And formation of Arbuda (tumor) or Granthi (cyst like swelling) in lungs is the part of Siragranthi (type of micro channeled environment vitiation) which is defined as Kutilibhavatwam (process of calcification) in Pranavaha Strotodushti.

Samprapti of Phuphphusarbuda:- (Pathogenesis of SCLC-Ayurvedic aspect)

Formation of Phuphphusarbuda (Lung cancer) starts with taking various Apathykarak Hetu Sevana (consumption of causative factors) which includes the diet & lifestyle responsible in vitiating Tridosha (Tridosha Prakopak Aahar-Vihara) that directly affect on Dhatvagni (the fire such as epithelial cadherin inside body, responsible for checking the formation & proper functioning of body tissues), decreasing Dhatvagni will increase tissue growth in lungs of human body and it leads to SCLC. Aggravation of Vata Dosha will suppress the Kapha Dosha and after interaction between these Dosha, Dhatvagni decreases and there is a formation of cancerous growth in lungs.

Mukhya Samprapti Ghataka: (Major factors in disease’s pathogenesis)

  1. Strotas Dushti (Vitiation of micro-channels involved) :- Pranavaha Strotasa (Siragranthi)(microchannels associated with breathing)
  2. Hetu (Causative factor) :- Tridoshkar aahar &  vihar(diet & lifestyle provoking vitiation of Tridosha)
  3. Dosh Dushti (vitiated dosha involved) :- Tridosh dushti Mainly Kapha and Vata (Tridosha with predominance of Kapha & Vata)
  4. Agni:- Dhatvagni
  5. Dushya (vitiated body tissues) :-Blood Predominent (Shonitphen prabhava Phuphphusa)

Chikitsa of Phuphphusarbuda (Treatment of Small Cell Lung cancer

Agni and Dosha stay in every cell of the human body. In SCLC, there is a continuous interaction of tridosha that may cause decrease in Dhatvagni and increase of abnormal cell formation in lungs. Since, the carcinogenic formation starts, it takes a long time to become malignant and As Acharya Sushruta quoted in Sutra sthana topic no. 21 Vranprashnadhyay,

There are Shadkriyakala which take prolonged time duration for formation of Phuphphusarbuda (Lung cancer). Therefore, the person with mild symptoms in SCLC can treat easily at Sthansanshraya level that is poorvrupa of Arbuda (prodromal stage of tumor). After that disease goes Balvattara (strong) and it’s hard to treat.

Ayurveda believes in maintaining a healthy digestive system and regular bowel habit that removes all toxins from the body and makes cells rejuvenate that includes Brahma Muhurta Uttishtha (waking up in Bramha muhurut i.e. approximately 45 min. before sunrise). It will keep the person away from abnormal cell generation and extra tissue growth in the body. Ancient medicine will keep the body healthy and maintain Strotasa (micro channeled environment) in normal condition, So that the metabolic waste will transfer easily and all cells get nourished. Following Dincharya krama (daily regimen) by Ayurveda will keep the body healthy and prevent from many deadliest diseases like lung cancer. Breaking of Samprapti (pathogenesis) is the major line of treatment in SCLC. Avoid Hetu Sevana (consumption of causative factors) and follow Pathykar Aahar and Vihar (Suitable diet & lifestyle modifications) to prevent formation of SCLC. Some Ayurvedic herbs are very useful to increase Dhatvagni and suppression of Dosha prakopa (vitiation of dosha).

Earlier, growing long hair seems simple enough but in the current scenario it has become difficult for many of us to have long and volume rich hair. So the question arises: do you want long and healthy hair? Is your hair not as lush and well-groomed as you would like it to be? Don’t worry nature can help. Say hello to natural remedies. There’s nothing like making the most of what nature has to offer. In this article, we provide you some information to make your hair grow faster, be beautiful, and well-groomed.

Introduction

Long, shiny hair of a woman at any age has always been a symbol of special beauty. It is easy to have long hair in childhood and adolescence when it doesn’t require much maintenance. And we don’t want to think about it – in my thoughts, dreams, and plans. After 25, a woman’s life is full of chores and concerns, the number of which is growing exponentially. No time to take care of your hair again? Isn’t it easier to have a short and stylish haircut once a month?

Hair Loss Treatment

Is it really that easy to give up the dream of long hair?

Do not hurry. Firstly, short haircuts are not for everyone. Secondly, long, beautiful and well-groomed hair gives a woman self-confidence and visually reduces her age.

Preliminarily, unhealthy hair was seen as a sign of ageing, but in the Current scenario with everyone leading a buzzing lifestyle, it has become a reason to worry for many. Various reason for hair loss, extending from medication, hormonal imbalance, to the kind of unbalanced diet we consume. As a routine, we all look for an immediate chemical treatment for hair loss for quick results despite being aware of its many harmful outcome. Going natural is the best solution for unhealthy hair problems, as it doesn’t have any side effects and its results are long lasting.

What Science Says About Healthy Hair Growth?

To grow long curls, it’s important to first understand how our hair grows.

Hair growth has mainly three stages:

  • Anagen
  • Catagen
  • Telogen

Each strand has its own stage of development. The anagen stage is the growth stage and usually lasts two to six years. The catagen phase occurs after the anagen phase and is the stage of transition or renewal of hair follicles. The telogen phase is the resting phase when hair stops growing. Scientific studies show that human hair grows on average about 15-16 cm per year. If the growth rate has slowed down for some reason, it needs to be restored.

  • Improper hair care changes its structure – it becomes too oily or dry and brittle, prone to hair loss. Other factors aggravate hair condition: health problems, harsh styling products, lack of nutrients.
  • The power of hair is in its roots. If the roots are weak, then the hair is unhealthy. And only healthy hair is worth growing.
  • With age, the processes of recovery and growth of the whole organism slow down. They are also inhibited in the hair follicles. 80% of hair should be in the growth phase, but at 35 years old this percentage is often below normal, although we do not notice it. It is important to pay attention not only to hair loss, but also to the number of growing new hair in the parting. There should be at least 15 of them in an area of ​​10 cm.
  • Hair volume and thickness are also important indicators of hair health. If they are thinned, then the bulbs are not coping with the supply of nutrients along the entire length of the hair –that means they need help.

So from the above information we come to know about the science of healthy hair. But many of us are suffering from hair loss. Hence the need is to know about the factors responsible for unhealthy hair?

What is the reason behind unhealthy growth of hair?

Why can’t you grow long hair, even if you really want to? And most importantly, not just long, but also healthy, so that the master in the beauty salon does not shake his head when you sit down in a chair. Let’s talk about the most common mistakes in hair care and ways to speed up healthy hair growth.

  • Lack of proteins-If you don’t get enough protein, your body will begin to conserve them, releasing much less for hair growth. Hair loss becomes noticeable two to three months after the protein intake is reduced.
  • Hormonal Imbalance-Two out of three men under the age of 60 suffer from baldness, this is due to the peculiarities of genetics and male sex hormones.As per the scientific researches, the imbalance of hormones responsible for the hair growth is lesser in females than men. Hormonal variance during menopause in women can also steer to hair loss.
  • Anemia- One in ten women between the ages of 20 and 49 is anemic due to iron deficiency. Impaired blood circulation to the scalp and cervical spine also leads to hair loss.
  • Frequency of hair washing- The fat that makes hair look good is called sebum, and it is the substance that is responsible for strengthening and providing nutrients to the scalp and hair. If you wash your hair daily, you will eliminate this natural fat that the body produces to strengthen hair and allow it to grow healthy. Clear the coil as much as possible, and reduce the maximum frequency to once every two days.
  • Heat tools- It is really tempting to master the rebellious hair with dryers, irons and curling irons, but all these tools can be counterproductive if the goal is to achieve long and full length hair. The extreme heat damages the hair, causing it to burn, break and open the ends.
  • StressAny stressful condition of the body – after surgery, accident or serious illness – can cause hair loss. Hair lives according to a programmed cycle: a growth phase, then a resting phase and a shedding phase. So, any stressful situation breaks this cycle, and the phase of loss occurs earlier.
  • Hair manipulation- Excessive hairstyle manipulation, such as tight braids, curling hair, using chemicals to straighten it, hot oils or heating electrical appliances, cause irreparable damage to hair. All these tricks can affect the hair roots, which means that at some point the hair will stop growing.
  • Heredity-Androgenic or androgenetic alopecia is the female variant of male pattern baldness. If women in your family at a certain age have receding hairline, this may be waiting for you. But, unlike men, women, as a rule, do not completely go bald – their hair thins in the central part of the head, later the process spreads to the lateral surfaces.
  • Birth control pills-Sometimes birth control pills can cause hair loss. If someone in your family has suffered from Alopecia (It is an autoimmune condition which attacks on hair follicles that may be brought by severe attacks), be careful with such things. And in general with hormonal drugs.
  • Instant weight loss- Sudden weight loss is stressful for the body, even if you yourself are happy with the result. Moreover, if the result of losing weight is a lack of certain vitamins – a direct path to hair loss.
  • Hypothyroidism-Hypothyroidism is a disease caused by an insufficient amount of thyroid hormones in the body. This small gland, located under the larynx, secretes hormones necessary for proper metabolism, growth and development. A lack of these hormones can lead to hair loss.
  • Pregnancy-Pregnancy is a phase in women’s life that can lead to hair loss. Moreover, the problem most often makes itself felt after the birth of the child.

Signs and Symptoms of Unhealthy Hair

The long and shiny hair is beautiful and flattering to virtually anyone. Getting it, however, is not always as easy as sitting down and waiting for it to grow. Accept new habits when you take care of your hair and change certain aspects of your lifestyle. Many people suffer from hair loss. But how do you know if the situation is getting out of control?

Consider various symptoms to know about this situation

  • As we have discussed above hair loss mainly effects the hair scalp , but in some condition it can even cause hair loss of entire body like Eyebrows,

Eyelashes, Beard, Nose hair, and Pubic hair. This Condition is also known as Alopecia universalis.

  • Gradually thinning of hair on the scalp, especially at the crown of the head is one of the common indicator of hair loss.
  • Early graying of hair is also a symbol of unhealthy hair.
  • A large amount or clump of hair remains on the comb.
  • Intense Itching, tenderness and peeling of the Hair scalp.
