What Is Rhabdomyolysis, and How Can It Be Prevented and Treated? - #14489

Anonymous

I recently read about rhabdomyolysis, a condition where muscle tissue breaks down and releases harmful substances into the bloodstream, and I want to understand what causes it, what symptoms to watch for, and how it can be treated. Some people say that intense workouts can trigger rhabdomyolysis, but I am unsure whether it only affects athletes or if anyone can develop it. Rhabdomyolysis occurs when muscle fibers break down due to extreme physical exertion, dehydration, trauma, or certain medications. Symptoms include severe muscle pain, weakness, dark-colored urine, and kidney problems. Many doctors recommend hydration, electrolyte balance, and rest to prevent muscle damage. However, I want to know whether certain supplements or dietary changes can help protect muscles from excessive breakdown. For those who have experienced rhabdomyolysis, what treatments worked best for recovery and preventing long-term complications? Would love insights into how to prevent rhabdomyolysis and whether gradual exercise progression reduces the risk.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, rhabdomyolysis can be seen as an imbalance of Pitta and Vata doshas, leading to excessive heat, dryness, and tissue depletion (Mamsa Dhatu Kshaya). It can affect athletes and non-athletes alike, especially with overexertion, dehydration, or poor muscle recovery. Symptoms like muscle pain, weakness, and dark urine indicate Ama (toxins) accumulation affecting the kidneys. Prevention includes gradual exercise progression, adequate hydration with cooling herbs like Shatavari and Amalaki, and consuming Rasayana (rejuvenating) foods such as ghee, dates, and almonds to strengthen Mamsa Dhatu. Recovery involves rest, warm oil massages (Abhyanga with Mahanarayan oil), and anti-inflammatory herbs like Ashwagandha and Guduchi. Balancing electrolytes with coconut water and rock salt also supports healing.
