नमस्ते। आपकी बेटी की स्थिति एक गंभीर स्वास्थ्य विषय है। एलोपैथी (Somatropin injection) से आयुर्वेदिक उपचार पर स्विच करने से पहले एक योग्य आयुर्वेदिक चिकित्सक और एंडोक्रिनोलॉजिस्ट (Endocrinologist) से परामर्श लेना अत्यंत आवश्यक है। यह सलाह आपकी बेटी की आयु (17 वर्ष) और उसकी चिकित्सा स्थिति (हार्मोनल कमी) को देखते हुए बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है।
यहाँ महापैशाचिक घृत (Mahapeshachik Ghrita) के संबंध में आयुर्वेदिक राय दी गई है, विशेषकर पिट्यूटरी ग्रंथि को सक्रिय करने के आपके उद्देश्य के संदर्भ में।
महापैशाचिक घृत पर आयुर्वेदिक मत (Ayurvedic Opinion on Mahapeshachik Ghrita) महापैशाचिक घृत एक प्रसिद्ध आयुर्वेदिक फॉर्मूलेशन है, जिसका मुख्य कार्यक्षेत्र (Primary Indication) मानसिक और तंत्रिका संबंधी स्वास्थ्य है।
शास्त्रीय उपयोग (Classical Use): इस घृत का उल्लेख मुख्य रूप से चरक संहिता में मिलता है। यह पारंपरिक रूप से उन्माद (Insanity/Psychosis), अपस्मार (Epilepsy/Seizures) और ग्रह बाधा (Seizures by evil spirits) जैसे विकारों के उपचार के लिए उपयोग किया जाता है।
लाभ (Benefits): इसे बुद्धि वर्धक (Promotes Intellect), स्मृति प्रदायक (Boosts Memory) और शारीरिक बल वर्धक (Strengthens the body) माना गया है। यह मस्तिष्क की कार्यप्रणाली को बेहतर बनाने वाला एक उत्तम मेध्य रसायन (Nervine Tonic) है।
पिट्यूटरी ग्रंथि (Pituitary Gland) पर सीधा प्रभाव: आयुर्वेदिक ग्रंथों में महापैशाचिक घृत का सीधा उल्लेख “ग्रोथ हार्मोन की कमी को दूर करने या पिट्यूटरी ग्रंथि को सक्रिय करने” के लिए नहीं है।
ग्रोथ हार्मोन की कमी से होने वाली अल्प-वृद्धि (Short Stature) को आयुर्वेद में विशेष रूप से धातुक्षय या बालक्षय से जोड़ा जा सकता है, जिसमें शरीर के पोषण स्तर में कमी होती है।
चूँकि यह घृत मस्तिष्क (मज्जा धातु) पर कार्य करता है और उसे शक्ति देता है, इसलिए यह अप्रत्यक्ष रूप से न्यूरो-एंडोक्राइन सिस्टम (Neuro-Endocrine System) को सहारा दे सकता है। लेकिन यह सीधे तौर पर ग्रोथ हार्मोन की कमी का एकमात्र उपचार नहीं माना जाता है।
सुरक्षा (Safety): कोई भी औषधि, भले ही वह आयुर्वेदिक हो, डॉक्टर की सलाह के बिना नहीं लेनी चाहिए। 17 वर्ष की आयु में, शरीर में जटिल हार्मोनल परिवर्तन होते हैं। स्व-चिकित्सा (Self-medication) हानिकारक हो सकती है।

Thank you for reaching out and sharing about your daughters health. I completely understand your concern because short stature due to hormonal deficiency can be very very for parents, especially when treatment with injection that has already been tried at the age of 17. The natural growth window is almost closing as most bones complete their growth by this age, but I can still support her by improving overall strength energy, glandular, balance, and confidence Mahapaisachika gritha is a very classical powerful formulation, traditionally used for nervous system and weakness delayed development and chronic deficiencies it does have deep nourishing effect, but it is extremely strong and not usually the first choice for young patients unless carefully supervised if digestion is weak or metabolism is not stable, giving such a heavy preparation can cause side-effects like indigestion or worsening of toxins in the system. For this reason, I would not advise starting with mahapaisachika gritha on your own For your daughter is safer and more effective approach would be to begin with gentle supportive medicines that can help stimulate the bodies, natural strength and hormonal function Ashwagandha cap 0-0-1 Shatavari kalpa 1 tsp with warm milk Brahmi gritha 1/2-0-0 tsp with warm milk Triphala churna-1/2 tsp with warm water at night, if constipation
Along with the medicine, diet and lifestyle are very important and You, she is taking protein rich foods, milk, curd, Paneer nuts, moong dal, and seeds Daily exposure to morning sunlight Regular exercises like skipping Yoga poses like Sarvangasan and Matyasana Good sleep. All these are necessary for her hormonal balance. Emotional support is equally important because hormonal disorders and short statue can affect confidence at this age.
Considering your daughter’s situation with short stature and hormonal deficiency, especially after a period of somatropin treatment, it’s important to approach the transition to Ayurveda with a comprehensive strategy that focuses on her unique constitution and health needs. Mahapaisachika Ghrita, known for supporting memory and mental health, might not directly address the pituitary gland or growth issues, but it could improve overall stability in her system. Before proceeding with any new treatment, it’s critical to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for an assessment of her prakriti (body constitution) and any imbalances in the doshas.
For promoting physical development and aiding endocrine functions, consider the following Ayurvedic strategies:
1. Herbal Support: Herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari can be beneficial as they both help in nourishing tissues and improving hormonal balance. They should be taken under guidance, potentially in the form of churna or capsules, preferably with warm milk before bedtime to enhance assimilation.
2. Diet: Ensure her diet is balanced and nutrient-dense. Encourage her consumption of whole grains, dairy products, nuts, and seeds, which provide essential fats and proteins that support overall growth. Include fruits like amla (Indian gooseberry) to boost vitamin C intake.
3. Lifestyle: Encourage regular sleep cycles, as growth hormone production is optimal during deep sleep. Meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises) can also help in reducing stress, which can positively influence hormonal balance.
4. Exercise: Regular physical activities, especially those that involve stretching and strengthening, can be helpful. Yoga postures like Tadasana and Bhujangasana may aid in stimulating the endocrine glands and improving posture.
5. Digestive Health: Ensuring her agni (digestive fire) is strong is crucial for absorption of nutrients. Include anti-inflammatory spices like ginger and turmeric, a simple concoction such as ginger tea daily can enhance digestion.
Always remember, gradual improvement is key in Ayurveda, and gentle, sustained practices will support her body’s natural functioning. Close monitoring and consultation with both Ayurvedic and medical professionals will ensure a balanced approach to her treatment.

HELLO SURENDRA,
Your daughter is 17 years old, shorter than average, with a history of hormonal deficiency. she was treated with growth hormone injections (somatropin) for 2 years, but now you are considering Ayurvedic treatment
Here’s what this means -Growth is mostly controlled by hormones like growth hormone from pituitary gland -If the pituitary gland is not producing enough hormones, the body may grow slowly -by age 17, most girls growth lates bones at the ends of long bones start to fuse. Once fused height gain is very limited -Stopping conventional therapy now may not increase height, but Ayurvedic therapy can help overall strength, vitality, immunity, and tissue nourishment -other hormones from the pituitary may still need monitoring, too stopping medical treatment abruptly is risky
TREATMENT GOALS -Strengthen body tissue- bone, muscle, blood, reproductive tissue -balance vata and Kapha dosha- which control growth and nourishment -improve agni - essential for proper nutrition ansorption -support rasayana therapy- rejuvination, immunity, and vitality -prevent secondary health issues- like weak bones, fatigue, poor immunity
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) MAHAPESHACHIK GHRITA= 1 tsp with milk after meals =strengthens bones, nourishes tissues, supports pituitary indirectly
2) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily =improves muscle strength, vitality, and stress tolerance
3) SHATAVARI GRANULES= 1 tsp with milk in morning =supports female reproductive system, nourishes rasadhatu
4) BALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with milk =improves bone strength and tissue growth
5) GOKSHURA POWDER= 1 tsp with warm water =supports urinary, reproductive and hormonal balance
6) CHYAWANPRASHA= 2 tsp daily =rasayana, boosts immunity and strength
YOGA ASANAS -tadasana, vrikshasana, bhujangasana, setu bandhasana= improve posture, stretch spine, and muscles
-Sarvangasana= improves blood flow to pituitary region -shavasana= deep relaxation, reduces stress
PRANAYAM -bhramari= calms mind and nervous sytem -nadi sodhana= baances body energies and supports hormone balance -kapalbhati= stimulates metabolism
LIFESTYLE TIPS -adequate sleep 8-9 hours, preferably before 10PM as growth hormone secretion is highest during deep sleep -moderate exercise daily -avoid excessive screen time and stress
DIET -emphasize milk, ghee, panner, eggs, sprouts, pulses, nuts, almonds, cashews, whole grains -include green leafy vegetables, fruits, and seeds -warm, cooked meals are better than raw heavy meals for better digestion -avoid cold, frozen, or junk food that weakens agni -use spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger to support digestion
HOME REMEDIES -milk with pinch of turmeric and ghee -soaked almonds 6-8 daily -sprouted moong or lentils in meals -herbal decoction with warm milk
Ayurvedic therapy at 17 years will not significantly increase height if growth plates are fused but it can -improve strength, immunity, and vitality -support hormonal balance and bone health -reduce stress and improve quality of life
Do not stop necessary hormone replacement abruptly
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU
