Fibromyalgia

Ayurvedic Approach to Fibromyalgia at Kurias Earth Ayurveda Hospital

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by non-inflammatory pain and tenderness in muscles, ligaments, and joints, along with fatigue. It affects approximately four percent of the general population and shares similarities with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), with the primary difference being musculoskeletal pain in fibromyalgia.

Understanding Fibromyalgia

In Ayurveda, fibromyalgia is described as 'Mansa Dhatugat and Mansavrut Vata,' indicating an imbalance of Vata dosha. Key factors include:

  • Vata Imbalance: Aggravated Vata destabilizes the nervous system, causing hypersensitivity, pain, and tenderness.
  • Ama (Toxins) Accumulation: Toxins contribute to blockages and exacerbate symptoms.
  • Weak Digestion: Poor digestion and constipation often accompany fibromyalgia.
  • Chronic Stress: Long-term stress affects the body’s ability to manage pain and fatigue.

Ayurvedic Treatment Protocol for Fibromyalgia

Dosha Balancing:

  • Herbal Remedies: Focus on balancing Vata and enhancing serotonin levels to improve mood and stability.
  • Improving Sleep and Magnesium Levels: Strategies to support restful sleep and maintain adequate magnesium levels.

Detoxification:

  • Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Reduces pain and improves circulation.
  • Swedana (Herbal Steam Therapy): Facilitates toxin elimination through sweat.
  • Basti (Medicated Enema): Cleanses the colon and balances Vata.

Rejuvenation (Rasayana) Therapy: Focuses on rejuvenating the body and mind, enhancing immunity, and promoting overall well-being.

Diet and Lifestyle Modifications:

  • Diet: Warm, easily digestible foods to balance Vata and improve digestion. Avoid cold, dry, and processed foods.
  • Lifestyle: Establish regular routines and gentle exercises to stabilize Vata and reduce stiffness.

Mind-Body Practices:

  • Yoga and Pranayama: Regular practice to balance doshas, calm the mind, and alleviate pain.
  • Meditation: Helps reduce stress, improve focus, and foster a positive outlook.
