treatment for Scleroderma in ayurveda

The word scleroderma is derived from two Greek words “sclero” and “derma” in which sclero means hard and derma means skin.

As per Ayurveda aspect

Scleroderma is correlated with “Vatarakta”. It is caused by the vitiation of Vata and rakta dosha. In this condition, there is an obstruction of vitiated Vata by the vitiated rakta. This condition starts from the foot (पाद मूल) as well as hands (हस्त मूल ) and impairment of vata (आशुकारी ) makes the spread of disease all over the body.

As per modern aspect:

It is a condition in which the body’s immune system over-stimulates the collagen-producing cells that cause inflammation and an excessive buildup of collagen in the body. This leads to the hardening of skin and fibrosis of internal organs such as organs of the digestive tract, blood vessels, and lungs. The symptoms may vary from patient-to-patient.

What are the causes of scleroderma

Overproduction and accumulation of collagen in the body tissues. Collagen is a type of protein that makes up the connective tissues of the body, including skin.
Genetic and environmental factors are also responsible for this. (सहज कारण)
