Namaste Sivakumar, managing polymyositis in Ayurveda focuses on reducing symptoms, strengthening muscles, and enhancing overall vitality, though a complete cure may be challenging due to its autoimmune nature. Panchakarma therapies like Virechana (purgation) and Basti (medicated enema) are beneficial for detoxifying the body and balancing Vata dosha, while Abhyanga (herbal oil massage) and Swedana (herbal steam) improve circulation and relieve muscle stiffness. Key herbs such as Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Guduchi act as rejuvenators, strengthening muscles and supporting immunity. Additionally, Guggulu and Amalaki help reduce inflammation and provide antioxidants. A warm, balanced diet rich in whole grains, root vegetables, and healthy fats, alongside gentle yoga or stretching, can also support energy levels and mobility. Stress management with meditation and pranayama is crucial to prevent exacerbations. Consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner can help tailor treatments to improve strength and quality of life effectively.

Polymyositis is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily affects the muscles, leading to weakness and discomfort. In Ayurveda, this condition can be understood as an imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas, which may result in inflammation and muscle degeneration. While polymyositis is considered a chronic condition that may not have a definitive cure, Ayurvedic treatment can help manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and improve muscle strength and overall well-being.
A comprehensive approach is essential for managing polymyositis in Ayurveda. This includes dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and herbal therapies. Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods such as turmeric, ginger, and garlic into your diet can help reduce inflammation. Consuming warm, nourishing foods that support muscle health, like whole grains, legumes, and seasonal vegetables, is beneficial.
Herbs such as Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) can support muscle strength and endurance, while Guggulu (Commiphora mukul) may help in reducing inflammation and promoting circulation. Herbal formulations like Maharasnadi Kwath can also be beneficial in managing muscle pain and weakness.
In addition to herbal treatment, therapeutic practices such as Panchakarma (detoxification therapies) can be effective in removing accumulated toxins from the body and restoring balance. Gentle physical therapy, yoga, and regular exercise tailored to your abilities can help maintain muscle function and improve mobility.
