CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS

INTRODUCTION

Cervical spondylitis is also known as cervical osteoarthritis or degenerative osteoarthritis. It is an age-related disorder which occurs due to the degeneration of spinal discs in the neck area. The discs may break down and lead to fluid loss. The ligaments become weak and lose their normal strength. The abnormal growths can occur in the bones of neck and these are called osteophytes. Osteophytes cause narrowing of the spinal column leading to stenosis of spine. Pain and stiffness in the neck area are the most common symptoms of cervical spondylitis.

More than 80 percent of people above the age of 60 years are affected by cervical spondylitis. But now-a-days, due to current lifestyle, it has become common in young adults also. In most of the people, cervical spondylitis shows no symptoms but with increasing damage, the symptoms are quite visible. There are various non-surgical treatments available for curing it.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS?     

With increasing age, the cervical bones, cartilages and ligaments wear and tear. This leads to the occurrence of cervical spondylitis. Some of the following changes which take place are:

  • Dehydration of the discs – Discs are the cushion like structures which are present in between the vertebrae. They shrink and dry as the age increases. This leads to more bone to bone contact, thereby damaging the vertebrae.
  • Herniation of disks – When cracks appear on the exterior surface of the discs, the internal soft material squeezes out of the disk. This presses the spinal cord and the surrounding nerves.
  • Stiffness of ligaments – Ligaments are the cords of tissues which join bone to bone. They get stiff due to increasing age leading to stiffness of neck.
  • Bone spurs – When discs break, the body produces extra amount of bone along the edges of vertebrae. These are called bone spurs or osteophytes. They can cause compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots.
  • Osteoarthritis – This is the degenerative disease of the bones. It leads to damage of the intervertebral discs between the cervical vertebrae.

WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS OF CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS?

KIDNEY STONES

Introduction: kidney stones or renal calculi are one of the most common and distressing disorder among urinary disorders and leading reasons of abdominal pain. kidney stone pain has a  characterstic feature that it make  a person rolls in his/her bed and is very excrutiating. A stone in your kidney is an irregularly-shaped crystal or solid mass that can be small as the size of grain or up to the size of a golf ball. Renal calculi are the hard deposits that are made of accumulation of  minerals and salts.

Depending on the size of your kidney stone or stones, people may not even realize that they have one. Even small stones can cause very severe pain as they exit the body through urinary tract. Certain factors responsible for the building up of kidney stone are diet, Composition of water (hard water) excess body weight, some medical conditions, and certain supplements. Often, formation of stones occurs when the urine becomes concentrated that allows the minerals to crystallize and stick together.

What Ayurveda says about kidney Stones:

Ayurveda has mentioned Kidney stone as ASHMARI. Ashmari is comprises of 2 words that is “Ashma” means a stone and “Ari” means enemy.  And kidney stone is specifically termed as Moothrashmari (urolithiasis). Moothrashmari  is a disease of Moothravahasrotas (urinary tract) that leads to formation of a stone or stones, resulting in severe excruciating  pain as given by an enemy. Acharya Sushruta in our ancient Ayurvedic text explained two process of stone formation. First one is due to the stagnation and saturation of the urine forming crystal like substances such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid crystals. At the same time, urine may lack some substances that prevent crystals from sticking together that forms an ideal environment for kidney stones to form.

According to Ayurveda there is imbalance of vata dosha (elevation) that causes kapha elements in the body to dry out. This leads to kidney Stone.

Causes of Kidney stones:

  • High protein and Sodium intake in Diet: Excessive amount of protein and sodium intake and lesser intake of water leads to lesser dilution and leads to accumulation of substances and therefore kidney stones.
  • Chronic medications might be the cause.
  • Sedentary Lifestyle: lack of exercise is becoming a habit. Exercising helps you to get rid of toxins that might accumulate and cause disease.
  • Alcohol and caffeine: Regular intake of alcohol and caffeine dehydrates the body and makes it difficult to get rid of toxins from the body and their accumulation causes kidney stones.

IMMUNITY

IMMUNITY BOOST
IMMUNITY BOOSTING SUPPLIMENTS
IMMUNITY AFTER COVID

  • Immunity was considered only as the immunity of the organism to infections or infectious diseases, but later it was found that it gives our body the power to fight against all kinds of diseases and at the same time it helps to fight diseases. It also changes the cells of the body.
  • Immunity also called disease resistance. The immune system functions to defend the body against infection. Pathogens are foreign disease causing bacteria and viruses that people come in contact with every day. The immune system attacks these germs and helps keep us healthy.
  • B lymphocytes work to make antibodies. These proteins block specific antigens. After the antibody is made, it stays in our body to fight the same germ again. So if someone who gets sick with a disease like chickenpox usually won’t get sick again. Antibodies can recognize an antigen and destroy it.
  • An immune response is the body’s defense system to fight antigens and protect the body. If a person has a disease, then there is a presence of antibodies against that disease in that person’s system, then immunity is obtained from that disease.

TYPES OF IMMUNITY

There are two types of immunity – innate and additive immunity.

  1. Innate Immunity – It gives protection to the person against diseases but it is not long term.
  2. Additive Immunity – This gives an individual protection against diseases as well as long-term protection against specific pathogens.

SIGNS OF A WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM

There are some signs of weak immunity. If you get frequent infections, take a long time to recover from infections, or sores take a long time to heal, the immune system may be weakened. Symptoms of a weak immune system include.

  • Fatigue

Everyone gets tired from time to time, but if you have trouble sleeping, can’t sleep, then your immune system is weak. This is because there is a connection between sleep and the immune system. Being sick or having a viral infection can have a negative effect on your sleep, while good sleep strengthens the immune system.

  • Frequent chills

Winter comes every year and it is normal to experience 2-3 winters in a year. But if you get cold again and again, then it is a sign that your immune system is weak.

  • More stress

Prolonged exposure to stress and loneliness has a negative effect on the immune system. Because stress lowers lymphocyte levels, it becomes harder for the body to fight infection. Therefore, if you are under stress about any work or anything, fall ill, then you should make efforts to manage stress.

  • Frequent infections

Individuals who have a weak immune system are often prone to bronchitis, pneumonia, and meningitis, among other infections.

  • Digestive problems

Many digestive problems are a sign that your immune system is not working properly and is weak. These problems are: diarrhea, bloating, gas, cramping and even constipation.

CAUSES OF LOW IMMUNITY

The immune system can be weakened due to many reasons. Common causes of a weak immune system include:

  • Smoking

People who smoke have a weak immune system. Smoking spoils the lungs which has an effect on immunity.

  • Alcohol abuse

People who are addicted to alcohol often have a weak immune system. Alcohol is injurious to health.

  • Poor nutrition

If diet is not proper excessive consumption of fried, canned food reduces the immune system. You should eat healthy and fresh diet.

  • Medicine

Medicines for many diseases are also a reason for weak immunity. Taking any kind of drugs or chemotherapy or other cancer treatments weaken person immunity.

  • Obesity

Obesity becomes the cause of many diseases. People who are overweight often suffer from many diseases. That’s why people should control your weight.

  • Infection

This happens even if we get caught by an infection like: flu, mono, and measles etc. So you have to stay away from these infections. Take special care of cleanliness for this.

  • Stress
