lumpy breasts,ETC.

The process of creating fat from food eaten or from excess endocrine

secretions, is a result of disturbed metabolism, a process ayurveda

terms as sapt dhatu creation. When dhatus higher than meda do not

form, meda accumulates as explained in

 

http://health.ayurveda/messages/1680

 

This problem exists in nervous system, say programming in pituitary,

as disturbed by viruses which are pollutants, pesticide residues,

toxins of modern world, and of course ageing process brought in by

onset of menopause/andropause. The problem is given the name

Metabollic syndrome by health researchers and academicians. Insulin

resistance, polycystic ovaries, central obessity (increased

waistline), diabetes type II, general swellings

which are understood as effects coexisting with obesity, are all results of this

single entity, "Metabolic suyndrome". For further

details please read:

The root cause is liver and kidney, the processor of fats and root of Medvahak

Strotas respectively. Once higher Dhatus do not form adequaately, Majja dhatu,

which needs to be interpreted as cerebro-spinal-fluid (CSF) in terms of modern

science, (Merujal of ayurveda) does not form adequately, explaining why CNS

misbehaves in forming Dhatus. This

is similar to heart taking back blood pumped by itself through cardiac artery.

 

Though it is believed that proper food selection may help, it is seen

that weight gains unabated, whatever one eats.

 

Only remedy is something that provides what nervous system is desires, lacking

hormones, cortico steroids in right combination

and proportion. The natural substance that provides these is urine. The best

being from the cow, since she eats only grass, no cooked foods. Recent research

on cow urine contents shows that it has so

many hormones, enzymes, vitamins and minerals.

 

This is the secret of various PanchGavya medicines, one of which has

been described as hormone balancer in a post yesterday. Another

one "Medohar Arka" if taken for a long time, takes care of some of

the problems discussed here. These medicines provide cure in various

"kashtsadhya" diseases.

 

In "no medicine approach", one can increase the production of CSF through

certain Tibetan breathing exercises, invented by Guru

Padmasambhava 2700 years ago. This is seen to restore health reducing

many problems of peri and post menopause.

It has also relation with Rasa Dhatu Acording to ayurved. if you are

under going heavy stress, or improper food habits associated with

improper exercise. if you are obese it should be looked after. proper

ayurvedic medcines with proper care can help you a lot.

Fibrocystic breast disease (FBD) is a common benign condition of

premenopausal women that may or may not occur with the variance in

hormonal levels experienced during the estrus cycle. Although many

women display areas of relatively indistinct breast lumpiness, FBD

refers to small benign tumors that are well-circumscribed and feel a

like slippery marble to the touch. The primary symptoms of FBD are

irregularly lumpy and swollen breasts that feel heavy, aching and sore.

In most cases the pain is worst just prior to menstruation and as such

can be considered to be a form of premenstrual syndrome. In other cases

however, the pain is ongoing with no cyclical change. It is important

to get an accurate diagnosis as some of the symptoms resemble that of

breast cancer.

 

The exact cause of FBD still eludes researchers but it appears that it

is aggravated by a relative estrogen excess. During the follicular

phase of the estrus cycle estrogen stimulates the production of

lactiferous glands and the supporting stromal layers of the breast.

After ovulation, when progesterone elevations are elevated, prolactin

levels begin to increase to trigger glandular changes in the breast. If

conception does not occur however, the newly formed breast apparatus

begins to break down. It is thought that in FBD however, that the

growth and development of new tissues in the breast is faster than the

process of degeneration and resorption, which is essentially a function

of pitta. Small pockets of cellular debris and trapped secretions are

formed, and these may coalesce to form fluid-filled cysts - thus this

dysfunction of pitta promotes kapha. Although the cysts can be

surgically excised they frequently reappear, and thus little treatment

is offered. Women who have FBD however have four times the risk of

developing breast cancer, and thus some form of preventative treatment

is appropriate. Further, women with low thyroid function have a

greater incidence of FBD as well as breast cancer.

 

The possible hormonal dynamics of FBD include a relative excess

estrogen, deficient progesterone, excess prolactin, excess aldosterone

and deficient dopamine - sometimes these imbalances are also associated

with impaired thyroxine synthesis or sensitivity. Estrogen is the

major in this regard, and thus measures to keep it under control

(relative to progesterone) are important. Both prolactin and

aldosterone can promote the breast swelling and tenderness, whereas

deficient progesterone and dopamine promote the effects of the other

hormones as well as promote the accompanying depression and anxiety

seen in PMS. Taking all this into consideration consider herbs that

upregulate the liver and correct pitta, to conjugate and eliminate the

circulating estrogens, such as turmeric, guggul and dandelion root.

Ensuring proper bowel function and promoting a proper gut ecology is

also key in this regard, as pathogenic bacteria can DE-conjugate

estrogen and cause it to be reabsorbed back into the body. Eating

extra fiber and naturally fermented foods (non-pasteurized pickles,

saurkraut, miso, yoghurt, apple cider vinegar etc.) can also be

helpful. Herbs that support progesterone are important, including

shatavari, peony root and chastebery; this last herb also inhibits

prolactin and is dopaminergic and thus can help with mood, but you

might consider ashwagandha and damiana for depression. All of these

are also helpful herbs to make the transition into menopause as well.

To reduce and limit the effects of excess aldosterone potassium-rich

herbs such as dandelion leaf and catnip are helpful - excess

aldosterone is also promoted in a magnesium deficiency. Activating the

liver with the herbs above also has benefit in thyroid function, which

can be depressed in fibrocystic breast disease - another measure here

is to take additional iodine (0.25 mg daily) or better yet, eat 10-15 g

of seaweed (e.g. kombu, nori, wakame, dulse, kelp etc.) daily, which is

a natural and safe source of iodine. Other helpful supplements include

beta carotene (50,000 IU daily), vitamin B complex (50 mg daily),

vitamin E (800 IU daily), and GLA and EPA-rich oils (5-10 g daily).

One remedy I like to use topically is eranda taila (castor oil), if

possible infused with poke root (Phytolacca decandra)- this can be

applied twice daily over the lumps to break up kapha and congestion.

As far as diet is concerned, avoid coffee/tea, chocolate, refined flour

products, sweets and an excess of saturated fats.

Dear Dr. Bhate ,Scott, and all,

As my former post said I have had a mammagram, against my wishes,

and it is not 'clear' it looks 'suspicious.' I do not believe in the

AMA, because nothing ever is 'clear, or even correct' They look at

things seperate vs the whole body, soul approach. So since the

doctor was not present to consult with when and where they told me

he would be, I left. Is it possible to treat it as if it

was 'cancer'? Thank you for the information about the disturbed

metabolism causing the lumpy breasts. My weight has never been a

problem. Contrarily it has always been 'too thin!' I have read about

urine therapy being good for you. In the west where I live the cows

are treated bad, given hormones, little space if any to graze , etc.

Your own urine is supposed to be good for you too, right? I have a

whole book about the benefits of urine therapy. Any ideas on this?

You mentioned -In "no medicine approach", one can increase the

production of CSF through

certain Tibetan breathing exercises, invented by Guru

Padmasambhava 2700 years ago. This is seen to restore health reducing

many problems of peri and post menopause. Where would I find how to

do this.
