BEFORE TREATMENT-2

BEFORE TREATMENT-3

  • BEFORE TREATMENT-4 This is to share my recent successful entry of a Chronic psoriasis patient.
  • The patient is 33 yrs male, owning a provision shop.
  • He is suffering from terrible skin disease called Psoriasis.
  • Duration of visible skin lesion was for 10 years approx- which originated from the scalp.
  • He was diagnosed as psoriasis, only after the severe body spread followed by a viral infection.
  • More than 90% of his body surface including palms ,soles and Nails were affected.
  • He suffered with intolerable itching in the body lesion, difficulty in walking due to cracked and infected foot and mental depression.
  • He was under regular consultation with a leading dermatologist with external application like lotion along with steroids and anti allergic medicine internally for more than 9 years.
  • He was not responding with the minimum doses of steroids later, and was committed to increase the dose grossly.
  • Even after the treatment his skin lesion was not responding but he could not terminate the terrible steroid dosage in order to control his intolerable itching and pain.
  • He developed Type-2 Diabetes mellitus and Cataract with hepato –spleno meglai followed by the treatment.
  • He was referred to me for Siddha treatment by one of my colleagues.
  • The patient consulted me at my clinic before 3 months as a new patient.
  • He was really looked pathetic and could not sit freely in a position due to itching and irritation
  • His commitment was shocking that he developed suicidal tendency recently.
  • I have decided to treat with specially made Siddha medicines for his critical problem and gave active counseling for his mental instability.
  • Now after 60 days of treatment , the patient recovered from his severe symptoms dramatically.
  • He is 100% free from his symptoms now and under my observation and treatment.
  • He is strictly advised to continue the treatment for at least 6 months to prevent severe aggravations.
  • Therapeutic effect of a particular medicine to same kind of patients differ grossly- no doubt but in this case I felt the ultra speed of Siddha medicine.

SIDDHA CURE FOR "PSORIASIS"

Now under treatment....

Before treatment.....













  • Psoriasis is a chronic, recurrent, inflammatory skin disease of unknown origin.
  • It is characterised by well-circumscribed erythematous, dry elevated lesions of various sizes, covered with mica like scales.
  • It is said to be a disorder of excessive growth and reproduction of skin cells.
  • Psoriasis affects both sexes equally and can occur at any age, although it most commonly appears for the first time between the ages of 15 and 25 years.

CAUSE:

  • Specific cause is not found yet,but it is believed to have a genetic component.

AGGRAVATING FACTORS:

  • These include stress, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking.
  • Individuals with psoriasis may suffer from depression and loss of self-esteem.

CLINICAL FEATURES:

  • Common features of psoriasis include red scaly patches to appear on the skin.
  • This scaly patches caused by psoriasis is called psoriatic plaques.
  • These plaques are formed very quickly over the skin and accumulates at these sites like silvery-white appearance.
  • The common sites where the psoriatic plaques frequently occur are skin of the knees and elbows,but can affect any area including the scalp and genitals.
  • The disorder is a chronic recurring condition which varies in severity from minor localised patches to complete body coverage.
  • Finger-nails and toe-nails are frequently affected.Psoriasis can also cause inflammation of the joints, which is known as psoriatic arthritis.

TYPES:

  1. Plaque psoriasis ,
  2. Flexural psoriasis,
  3. Guttate psoriasis, and
  4. Pustular psoriasis,
  5. Erythrodermic psoriasis

are the common forms.

OTHER AFFECTIONS:

  • Psoriatic arthritis,Psoriatic nails-leading to deformity of joints and nails.

DIAGNOSIS:

  • A diagnosis of psoriasis is usually based on the appearance of the skin.
  • There are no special blood tests or diagnostic procedures for psoriasis.
  • Sometimes a skin biopsy, or scraping, may be needed to rule out other disorders and to confirm the diagnosis.

GRADING SEVERITY:

  • Psoriasis is usually graded as mild (affecting less than 3% of the body), moderate (affecting 3-10% of the body) or severe.
  • The Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) is the most widely used measurement tool for psoriasis.

PATENT'S QUALITY OF LIFE:

  • Beyond the physical sufferings like itching and some pain,Psoriasis patients are also affected mentally due to strain.
  • Other chronic diseases such as depression, myocardial infarction, hypertension, congestive heart failure or type 2 diabetes are also common among them.
  • Individuals with psoriasis may also feel self-conscious about their appearance and have a poor self-image that stems from fear of public rejection and psycho sexual concerns.
  • Psychological distress can lead to significant depression and social isolation.

TREATMENT:

  • The treatment is based on the type of psoriasis, its location, extent and severity.
  • The patient’s age, gender, quality of life, commodities, and attitude toward risks associated with the treatment are also taken in to consideration.
  • Variation between individuals in the effectiveness of specific psoriasis treatments are common.
  • Because of this, dermatologists often use a trial-and-error approach to find the most appropriate treatment for their patient.
  • As a first step, medicated ointments or creams, called topical treatments, are applied to the skin.
  • If topical treatment fails to achieve the desired goal then the next step would be to expose the skin to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
  • This type of treatment is called photo therapy.Photo chemotherapy[PUVA] is also related to this.
  • The third step involves the use of medications which are taken internally by pill or injection.
  • This approach is called systemic treatment.
  • The three main traditional systemic treatments are methotrexate, cyclosporine and retinoids.
  • Antibiotics are not indicated in routine treatment of psoriasis.
  • However, antibiotics may be employed when an infection, such as that caused by the bacteria Streptococcus, triggers an outbreak of psoriasis, as in certain cases of guttate psoriasis.

TOXICITY:

  • Patients undergoing systemic treatment are required to have regular blood and liver function tests because of the toxicity due to medication.
  • Pregnancy must be avoided for the majority of these treatments.

RECURRENCE AND RISK:

  • Most people experience a recurrence of psoriasis when systemic treatment is discontinued.
  • Psoriasis is a life-long condition.
  • There is currently no cure but various treatments can help to control the symptoms.
  • Many of the most effective agents used to treat severe psoriasis carry an increased risk of significant morbidity including skin cancers, lymphoma and liver disease.

IN SIDDHA SYSTEM:

  • Psoriasis is known as 'KALANJAGA PADAI NOI' in Siddha system.
  • It comes under 18 types of skin diseases mentioned in the Siddha literature.
  • Siddha system calls different varieties of psoriasis by various names.

*Piththa Vedippu,

*Namattu chori,

*Chenthil uthir noi ,

*Yannai chori ,

*Kalanja padai,

*Varal thirambi are some among them.

  • The famous Siddha Text "Yugi Sindhamani-800" describes a vatha disease "KALANJAGA VATHAM" characterised by pain and swelling over the joints associated with some pealing skin lesions.
  • Based on this Prof.Dr.RAMANAN,MD(s) named the skin disease as 'KALANJAGA PADAI NOI'.

IN MY CLINICAL PRACTICE:

  • Psoriasis cases are common in Siddha practice.
  • Usually the cases I have met are very chronic and challenging.
  • Resistant cases also seek siddha medicine after getting a very long treatment from Dermatologists.
  • Before treatment,I use to investigate the patients thoroughly to rule-out for other systemic diseases.
  • This is very essential for choosing a drug.
  • The treatment is individualised according to the body constitution and condition of the patient.
  • We are preparing an "external medicine for psoriasis" in the form of OIL which gives remarkable results.
  • Initial stage cases respond very well to this external medicine.
  • Internal medicine is administered to the patients who are chronic and resistant to other drugs.
  • The recurrence rate is very minimal.
  • Even recurrance occurs, the interval is too long.

-Psoriasis patients should be aware about the disease and the treatment methods.

-It will be very safe & effective if the patient go for a Siddha treatment from a reliable source.

TREATING "URTICARIA" IN SIDDHA MEDICINE...!!!



  • Urticaria is a skin condition, commonly caused by an allergic reaction, that is characterized by raised red skin welts.
  • Urticaria can appear anywhere on the body, including the face, lips, tongue, throat, and ears.
  • It may vary in size from about 5 mm (0.2 inches) in diameter to the size of a dinner plate.
  • There will be Itching and burning in the affected regions.
  • Urticaria is generally caused by direct contact with an allergenic substance[allergy due to insects exposure] or an immune response to food or some other allergen.
  • Emotional stress increases the risk of urticarial lesions.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING URTICARIAL ATTACK:

  • The skin lesions of urticarial disease are caused by an inflammatory reaction in the skin, causing leakage of capillaries in the skin layer causing oedema.
  • The oedema is lasting until the interstitial fluid is absorbed into the surrounding cells.
  • Urticarial disease is thought to be caused by the release of histamine and other mediators of inflammation (cytokines) from cells in the skin.

AGGRAVATING FACTORS:

  • Tomatoes, strawberries, strong cheese,dark fish,dry fish,chicken and fermented foods directly affect this problem.
  • Although these 'pseudo-allergens' aren't the primary cause of urticaria, they do tend to aggravate it.
  • Viral infections aggravate urticarial attack also initiate in some instances.
  • Anxiety and tension also aggravate urticaria some times.

COMPLICATIONS:

  • In more serious cases when swelling occurs inside the mouth or throat, complications can include difficulty breathing leading to a loss of consciousness.
  • Severe urticaria may be noticed in ''ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK'' which is a serious allergic reaction involving the heart or lungs.
  • In such condition,bronchial tubes become narrow causing difficult to breath.Blood pressure drops causing dizziness,loss of consciousness or even death. Anaphylactic shock occurs rapidly, and requires immediate medical care.

URTICARIA TREATMENT IN MODERN MEDICINE:

  • Skin specialists say that treating urticaria is difficult.Treatment procedure include

1.Avoiding known allergens

2.Anti histamines

3.Anti pruritic preparations

4.Cortico steroids.


MY PERSONAL VIEW:

  • Urticaria cases are common in my clinical practice.
  • When a patient come to my clinic, I use to explain about the disease and also about the treatment options to the patient.
  • If necessary I use to send the patient to a proper dermatologist.Usually patients who seek Siddha medicine for urticaria have a long history of previous medication.
  • Most of the patients are resistant to anti-allergic drugs and even some of them resistant to corticosteroids.
  • "Speedy recovery" will be the expectation of each and every patient...no doubt.
  • New urticaria patients usually not co-operating with Siddha physician because they expect complete cure within few days.
  • They don't know about the seriousness of the disease and the line of treatment.
  • Not like that,"chronic patients" who have previous experience in treatment, co-operate fully with siddha physician.

SIDDHA TREATMENT:

The line of treatment for urticaria include 3 steps.

1.Clearing Gastro Intestinal Tract with mild herbal laxatives and vermifuge.

2.Internal medicine for severe allergic reactions which contain purified sulphur and minarals.

3.Siddha Blood Purifiers to prevent recurrence which are mostly herbals for a long maintenance dose.

"Siddha cure is excellent in CHRONIC URTICARIA and I can say with confidence that 'URTICARIA' CAN BE SAFELY MANAGED IN SIDDHA MEDICINE WITH SUCCESS...!!!"

TINEA INFECTION & SIDDHA CURE




  • Tinea infection also known as superficial'Fungal' infection, is a irritable problem to the sufferers.
  • It is characterised by Itching,irritation and blackish disclouration of the superfcial skin of the body.
  • Patients suffer a lot when secondary infection co-insists.
  • Tinea infection occurs anywhere in the body and named as per it's localisation.
  • Tinea carporis-scalp,Tinea barbae-face,Tinea paedis-foot etc.
  • In siddha system of medicine, It is called as 'PADAR THAMARAI'
  • 100%cure for this problem is experienced in my clinical practice.
  • Eventhough resistant cases, who failed in other system of medicine, get cured in Siddha system of medicine.
  • External medicine as well as internal medicine are essential in treating Tinea infection
  • Usually the Tinea infected patients withdraw medicine whenever they get symptomatic relief,but the medicines must be taken as prescribedby the physician for complete relief.
  • Usually 'soap' used by the patients aggravate their symptoms due to the presence of sodium hydroxide and pottasium hydroxide.
  • Foods like 'dry fish','brinjal' & 'tomato' are advised to be avoided in the skin casesas per Siddha literatures which aggravate itching by stimulating HISTAMINS.
  • Hundreds of Tinea patients are treated with sucess in my clinic and I can say that SIDDHA MEDICINE IS ABSOLUTLY SAFE TO TREAT TINEA INFECTIONS.
