Understanding Myositis: Symptoms, Causes, and Ayurvedic Treatment

Discover Ayurvedic treatment for Myositis to help manage pain, inflammation and improve muscle strength.

Myositis is a rare autoimmune disorder that affects the muscles and causes inflammation, weakness, and pain.

The condition can be challenging to diagnose as the symptoms may vary from person to person.

Myositis can affect people of all ages, but it is more common in women than men.

What is Myositis?

Myositis is a condition that causes inflammation and weakness in the muscles, leading to muscle pain, fatigue, and difficulty in movement.

It is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the body’s muscles, causing them to become weak and inflamed.

While there is no cure for myositis, Ayurvedic treatment can help manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the immune system.

Symptoms of Myositis

The most common symptoms of myositis are:

• Muscle weakness
• Pain and fatigue
• Weakness in the muscles can occur in the arms, legs, and trunk.
• In some cases, swallowing and breathing can also be affected.
• Other symptoms include fever, weight loss, and joint pain.  

 

Causes of Myositis

The exact cause of myositis is unknown, but it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder.

The immune system, which normally protects the body against infections, attacks the muscles instead, causing inflammation and damage.

In Ayurveda, Myositis is known as “Mamsagata Vata,” which is caused by an imbalance of the Vata Dosha.

 

Ayurvedic Natural Treatment for Myositis

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine that focuses on the balance of mind, body, and spirit.

Ayushakti’s treatment for myositis aims to address the underlying imbalances in the body that contribute to the development of the condition.

• Avoiding processed foods, refined sugars, and saturated fats
• Eating warm, cooked foods rather than cold, raw foods
• Drinking plenty of warm liquids, such as herbal teas and soups
