Tag: Ayurvedic treatment for Eosinophilic Lung Disease

ABSTRACT

Every cell of the body requires an appropriate amount of oxygen to function properly. The demand of oxygen is fulfilled by the circulation of blood. The inhaled air contains oxygen, etc, which is processed into the bloodstream by the lungs. Hence, proper functioning of the lungs is very essential for proper functioning of the body cells. Any abnormality in the structure or functioning of the lungs will lead to the presentation of a variety of difficulties or abnormalities in the body. One such abnormality that adversely affects the lungs is eosinophilic lung disease or pulmonary eosinophilia. This condition will be described in detail along with its ayurvedic perspective in the following article.

INTRODUCTION

Eosinophilic lung disease is a group or category of lung diseases arising due to the increased levels of eosinophilia in the lungs.Eosinophilia is a term that refers to the increased levels of eosinophils. Eosinophils are a component of our blood, more specifically, the component of white blood cells. The main aim of these components is to fight off the infections. The eosinophils play a very vital role in the mechanism of the immune system. In cases of infection, we observe a raised number of the eosinophil count. When there are too many eosinophils in the lung, it causes inflammation and can disrupt the normal functioning of the lungs. There are eosinophils built up in the air spaces of the lungs, hence arising various difficulties which will be described later in this article. There can be various forms of this condition such as-

• Acute condition – The acute state of eosinophilic lung disease is categorised when there is presentation of severe symptoms often, appearing suddenly, usually within a week.
• Transient condition – This state can be categorised by an on and off condition. The symptoms may appear and disappear.
• Chronic condition – The chronic condition is when the symptoms last for a longer duration of time, as long as upto or more than a month.
