Granulomatous Meningoencephalitis (GME) And Its Ayurvedic Treatment

Abstract

The central nervous system is mainly associated with the brain and spinal cord. Meninges are the three-layered covers of CNS. These layers of meninges are meant to protect the brain and spinal cord. The brain is called an encephalic. Inflammation involves normal tissue infiltration by immune system cells. Cells of the immune system release biochemicals in the area of infectious organisms. Thus we have to discuss the inflammation of the brain and meninges which in collaboration is called meningoencephalitis. Let’s read!!

Granulomatous Meningoencephalitis (GME)

Introduction 

GME is an inflammatory disease in dogs associated with the central nervous system and characterized by granulomatous lesions which may be focal or disseminated in the brain or spinal cord. GME was first noted in dogs in 1978. GME is of three types focal, multifocal, and ocular. Ocular type of GME is not common, and sudden onset of optic neuritis and thus blindness is the peculiar feature of Ocular meningoencephalitis. In focal and multifocal (disseminated) forms the lesions are spread throughout the central nervous system. Focal lesions are generally seen and are more common in the cerebrum and brainstem. GME is more common in female dogs of middle age. Thus in this article, we will read about GME and its Ayurvedic aspect.

Diagnosis

Biopsy of brain tissue is the basic requirement for the brain tissue. Brain biopsy is a difficult task. This GME can be found after proper analysis of the clinical features of dogs and related history.

Ayurvedic Aspect 

The pashu chikitsa is a well-known approach for the management of our pets. Ayurvedic pashu chikitsa is a result of the knowledge and intellect of our ancient saints and sages. It shows a great companionship between humans and animals. GME in Ayurveda can be associated with vatavyadhi and ama dosha. The chief underlying cause is the vitiation of vata associated with aamdosha leads to kaphaj granthi (Granuloma) in Majja dhatu (CNS). Vata dosha is concerned with activities and motility in the body. The associated aamdosha leads to vitiating the dosha and causes dhatu dushti and is the basic cause of inflammation in the body due to excessive accumulation of Endotoxins. For better body status all the doshas should be in a balanced state. A beautiful quote is mentioned in Sushruta Samhita–  

Susruta sutra sthana 15/41/…

Means – According to Acharya Susruta, a person is said to be swastha (Healthy) when doshas (Vata/pitta/kapha), agnis, dhatus, and mala should be in equilibrium along with mental, sensory, and spiritual calmness and happiness.
Ayurveda principles and herbs with minerals help to manage the status of GME in dogs. Herbs like Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), Mandukaparni (Centella asiatica), Shankhpushpi (Convolvulus pluricaulis), Jyotishmati (Celastrus paniculatus), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) are helpful. Minerals like Swarna Bhasma (gold calx), Rajata Bhasma (silver calx), and Loha Bhasma (iron calx) are also beneficial. Herbal formulations of Planet Ayurveda are helpful for the management of GME.
