Ayurvedic Management of DISH Disease(Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis)
Abstract
DISH disease is a disorder of the skeletal system that starts with mineral salt deposition around various joints of the body. The affected bones also grow out of shape and size and this growth is seen as malignant. The affected joints and surrounding muscles become extremely painful for the affected person and he may even be partially disabled from DISH. The modern treatment offers only painkillers and sugary medicine which is obviously not done until the condition has worsened far beyond control. The symptoms, causes and risk factors of DISH disease have been described in this article along with safe and effective herbal remedies to prevent the worsening of the condition.
Introduction
DISH stands for Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis. It is a disease of the skeletal system where the bones and joints develop a stony layer around them that is made of extra calcium salts and it is accompanied by the bone growing out of its normal size. It is a painful condition now becoming more and more common. Usually pain relieving medications are given to people suffering from DISH but those are just helpful in suppressing the symptoms and do not alleviate the root problem that is salt deposition near the joints. It can even render the person bed ridden and totally dependent on others to move. Therefore initial symptoms should not be ignored because it is an idiopathic disease which means it generates itself and no certain factor can be pointed out for its development.
