I had diagnosed with Autoimmune disease myositis gradeII - #626

Hello Mohammad, it is ideal for you to cross check with your consultant regarding the same. Simultaneously you can consult an Ayurvedic expert too but physical examination and detailed study of your case papers is needed to suggest anything. Autoimmune diseases require dietary & lifestyle intervention along with medication according to Ayurveda.

For managing myositis and reducing dependence on steroids, Ayurveda offers a gentle yet effective approach focused on balancing immunity and reducing inflammation. Since myositis involves inflammation of the muscles, we’ll prioritize a diet and lifestyle that pacifies Pitta dosha (associated with inflammation) and enhances Ojas (immunity and vitality). A nourishing, anti-inflammatory diet is key: incorporate warm, easily digestible foods like well-cooked rice, moong dal (split yellow lentils), and steamed vegetables such as squash, carrots, and leafy greens. Avoid nightshade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant), as these can increase inflammation in some people. Include natural anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric, ginger, and cumin in your meals, as they aid digestion and reduce inflammation. Cow's ghee, in small quantities, is highly beneficial as it can soothe inflammation and strengthen tissues. Herbal support such as Ashwagandha, Amalaki (Indian gooseberry), and Guduchi can aid in reducing dependency on steroids by supporting muscle health and immunity. However, these should be taken under an Ayurvedic practitioner’s guidance, especially when adjusting your steroid regimen. Regular, gentle oil massage (Abhyanga) with warm sesame or Mahanarayan oil can help ease muscle stiffness and pain. Avoid excessive exertion and engage in mild, restorative practices like yoga and breathing exercises (pranayama) to boost circulation and reduce stress. Detoxifying the body gradually, along with dietary modifications, will help manage symptoms and support long-term wellness. Before making any changes to your steroid medication, consult your healthcare provider to ensure a safe transition while following Ayurvedic practices to build resilience and restore balance naturally.
