Autoimmune diseases encompass a group of over 80 conditions, all sharing a common underlying cause—an immune system that mistakenly attacks the body’s own organs. In Ayurveda, these disorders are often attributed to a consistently unhealthy lifestyle and diet. Ayurveda addresses the root cause of autoimmune conditions by focusing on restoring balance to the immune system and correcting underlying imbalances that trigger these immune responses.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition affecting the central nervous system, often considered an autoimmune disorder, where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues. MS is highly unpredictable, with symptoms varying widely from person to person. Some individuals may experience only mild symptoms, while others may face severe challenges such as loss of vision, difficulty with writing, speaking, or walking, as communication between the brain and body becomes disrupted.
In Ayurveda, Multiple Sclerosis is referred to as “Avrutha.” According to Ayurvedic principles, MS can result from the accumulation of Pitta and Kapha doshas. Excessive Pitta dosha can lead to significant damage to the myelin sheaths, which are responsible for protecting nerve fibers. This damage is a primary factor contributing to the development of Multiple Sclerosis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, leading to painful inflammation and swelling in the affected joints and tissues.
In Ayurveda, this condition is known as Amavata, which occurs when there is a disturbance in the Vata dosha and an accumulation of Ama in the joints. Ama refers to a maldigested or improperly processed substance that is not suitable for the body, leading to the inflammation and pain similar to that seen in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in modern medicine.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, potentially affecting the skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and other organs.
In Ayurveda, SLE is understood as an imbalance of the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—with a primary aggravation of Vata dosha. This imbalance disrupts the body’s tissues (dhatus), including Tissue (Tweak), Rasa (lymph), Rakta (blood), and Mansa (muscle). When these doshas become aggravated, they disturb the body’s Agni (digestive fire), leading to the formation of Ama (toxins). The aggravated doshas then carry Ama and other imbalances into the Rasa and Rakta dhatus, ultimately contributing to the development of SLE.
Celiac disease is a chronic digestive and immune disorder that damages the small intestine, triggered by the consumption of gluten-containing foods. Gluten is a protein found naturally in wheat, barley, and rye, and is commonly present in foods like bread, pasta, cookies, and cakes.
In Ayurveda, celiac disease can be likened to Grahani, a condition caused by a weakened digestive fire, or Agni. This diminished Agni leads to improper digestion of food, resulting in the accumulation of undigested substances that disrupt the normal functioning of the digestive system.
