Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hi all, My mother suddenly started getting bruises in some locations in her body for no reason. In addition to bruises she started getting small red spots, tiny spots on legs and hands. Doctors said it is due to reduced platelet count. Doctors then diagonized the condition as Purpura. She has been given Immunoglobin doses and also some steriods. But her count will be ok for one or two days like 1 lakh to 1.5 lakhs and then again it drops to a very dangerous level of below 10000. Doctors are advising removal of spleen as they are telling that spleen is eating up all the platelets. She doesn't have Dengue fever. Tests have confirmed that. Can anyone throw some light on the same as to why this condition occurs. Is there any other way of increasing the platelet count in any system of medicine . Any kind of natural medicines will help her in any way. Please advise, this is very urgent. Your help will be highly appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Aruna ______________________________\ ____ Pinpoint customers who are looking for what you sell. http://searchmarketing./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Vitamin K, will increase the platelets… and Papaya leaves should help with Dengue fever … but you really need to get her to an Ayurvedic specialist to hone in on her constitution… Noel ayurveda , Aruna Lingegowda <arunal wrote: > > Hi all, > > My mother suddenly started getting bruises in some > locations in her body for no reason.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 From this distance, author is sensing heat in her body, she is suffering from raised pitta dosha. [Y'day 10 have died due to heat wave]. The calf muscles and the forearm are the most common sites for those spots. When platellates count goes down, the ability to form clots and stop blood flow from a wound reduces. People who have sunlight allergy often suffer by reddish spots on skin, which take brownish/marron/violet color after some time and blackish after few days. After bath, when skin is rubbed with towel, then too such reddish regions develop for sensitive people. From ayurvedic angle, when pitta increases, the thin walls of blood vessels become fragile, cant withstand any pressure or shock and due to their breakage causes internal bleeding. Blood does not coagulate quickly, causing more flow. If you test the blood, reduced platellate counts will be observed. Platellates cause sealing of the breakage of micro arteries, just as M-seal can be applied to a leaking water pipe joint for sealing. When platellates reduce, they loose coagulation and clotting propery, causing loss of blood due to delayed sealing. Lost blood accumulation gives brownish color after some time, and when blood cells finally die, blackish color as a result of stagnation. Most medications for acidity, pain-killers cause increased internal bleeding due to reduced platellate counts. MOms suffering from arthritis please note. Reasons for breakage of microarteries: 1. Sunlight allergy, sunbath, steam sauna causes thinning of blood vessels 2. Suppression of natural urges of bowel and bladdere movements. 3. Excess fatigue, long walks, treks, exposure to UV rays in Himalayan treks, skiing etc 4. Excess irritability, lack of sleep till late night, anxiety, fear of chronic diease, grief of loss of near-dear ones, spicy and hot foods, loss of adequate sleep due to excess light in the bedroom during night. The last reason depresses melatonin secretion causing loss of immunity too. Excess estrogen/progesterone ration during post menopause also one reason. 5. excess smoking, alcohol, nicotine, tobacco, gutakha, cola 6. Incompatible diet: difficult to digest items such as legumes, meat, milk and legumes, fish, sour (citrus) fruits, spicy fried foods. 7. The root of the condition lies in byproducts of incomplete phase-2 liver detoxifications, which are quite toxic, and they raise blood acidity too, which ayurvedist call blood heat. Increased bleeding, be it from nose, menses, wounds is the result. That is why acharyas recommended not eating sour items, especially in monsoon and summer. Recommended Foods and lifestyle, herbs Reduce heat in the blood by walking on wet grass early morning. Stay in cool air-conditioned room, take cold bath twice or even thrice a day. Go for a walk in moonlight. Eat bottle gourd, snake gourd and leafy vegetables. Juice of pumpkin, bottle gourd is best for cooling the heat. Water melon, tender coconut water, cucumber, soaked dates, soaked raisins, sugar cane juice, amalaki juice or powder with honey, cow and goat milk strengthens blood vessel walls. cow milk with sugar is also OK. Gulkand is ready to take pharmacy preparation, but check that it is with " praval " and not preservative. Three more home remedies: 1. Kokam sarbat. 2. soak ripened tamarind about beetlenut sized ball in a glass of water along with 4 dates for 2hours. Crush and remove seeds, and drink in afternoon only. 3. Heem of cumeen, coriander seed and fennel seeds (Jira, dhana, sounf) each half tsp coarsely pounded and soaked in a glass of water for 2 hours. drink this water 2-3 times a day. This is already covered in detail earlier in archives. Rice, barley, green gram, mataki can be eaten, but eat six month old grains. mix cumeen seeds, crystal sugar (kal sakkare) and sonamukhi powder (senna) all in powder form equally and take 2-3 times a day 1-2 tsp. Drink water over it. Mix following in equal proportion by weight. Haritaki, ardusi, giloy, vibhitaki, neem bark, Chirait, Amalaki Pound together, or mix well if they are already available in powder form. 20 gram mixture in 4 cup water, slow boil till ½ cup remains. This kashaya to be taken only once early morning empty stoamach after straining and mixing with crystal sugar so that bitterness is withstood by patient. Amalki, Vibhitakai and Haritaki remove blood impurities through colon, giloy and ardusi cool down the blood heat and Giloy+amalaki rejuvinate the blood vessel walls. Mixture of chirait, neem and giloy reduce the excitation of pitta in blood and cause additional generation of blood cells which increases platellates. Author has used this kashaya for leukemia patient also. Lastly, sleep in blue light, use blue bed sheet, clothes etc. Water exposed to moon light also helps. If you can boil water in a copper vessel in which some silver ornaments are dipped, boiling to 50%, this water will also help. ayurveda , Aruna Lingegowda <arunal wrote: > > Hi all, > > My mother suddenly started getting bruises in some > locations in her body for no reason.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 The kashaya mentioned in this authors' last message involving Haritaki, ardusi, giloy, vibhitaki, neem bark, Chirait, Amalaki Will be available as " Guduchyadi Kashaya " made by Nagarjuna Pharmacy, Ahmedabad. Look for it in Chickpet/Bale pet/Avenue Road area in Bangalore and you will get it ready to take by diluting it by adding 4 times water. _______________ > From this distance, author is sensing heat in her body, she is suffering from raised pitta dosha.
