What is the Ayurvedic View of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)?

In Ayurveda there are three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) that are responsible for systemic lupus erythematosus. Mainly Vata dosha is aggravated in this disease. The dhatus that are disturbed in this disease are twak, ras, rakta, & mansa. When the doshas are aggravated it causes vitiation of agni (body fire) & leads to ama (toxins) formation. These aggravated doshas carries the ama and other doshas into ras & rakta dhatu that ultimately lead to formation of SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus). As the doshas goes deeper into the tissues more it become difficult to treat.

Healthy Tips & Diet for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients:

  • Include green vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, etc in your daily routine.
  • Walk for 30 minutes every day.
  • Drink plenty of water for detoxification of your body.
  • Avoid fried, processed, chilled, & fast food products as these all imbalances the doshas in the body.
  • Drink green coconut water daily.
  • Take four almonds & two walnuts soaked these two overnight. Early in the morning peel them and eat it on an empty stomach.
  • Avoid milk & milk products.
  • Daily take a sleep of eight hours as it is necessity to your body.

How to know hair follicles are active or not?

 Many men during online consultation used to ask me  " How will I know, if my hair follicle is active or not? " Here are a few ways 👇 Observe Hair Growth: If you see fine, short hair (vellus hair) or longer, thicker hair (terminal hair) in the area, follicles are active. However, if the area is smooth and shiny without any hair growth, the follicles may be inactive. Examine Scalp Health: A healthy scalp, with adequate hydration and minimal flakiness, is more likely to support active follicles. Redness, inflammation, or excessive dryness can indicate issues affecting follicle activity. Check for Signs of Miniaturization: When follicles are active but weakened, they may produce thinner, shorter hairs. This process, known as follicular miniaturization, is often a sign of conditions like androgenic alopecia. Pull Test: Gently tug on a small section of hair.

This can lead to the formation of ama (toxins), which Ayurveda identifies as the root cause of many diseases. Refined bread, in particular, i...
