Herbal Remedies for Wegener’s Granulomatosis

Wegener’s Granulomatosis

About Wegener's Granulomatosis

Wegener's Granulomatosis is an uncommon disorder that causes inflammation of the blood vessels in the nose, sinuses, lungs, throat and kidneys. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is one of a group of blood vessel disorders called as vasculitis. It slows blood to some of the organs and as a result, the affected tissues may develop areas of inflammation called granulomas which affect the functioning of the organs. In some people, the disease affects only the lungs but when the kidneys are affected, there are not any warning signs but blood and urine tests can detect the problem. Without any treatment, kidney failure can occur.

Symptoms of Wegener's Granulomatosis

The signs and symptoms of granulomatosis with polyangiitis may develop suddenly or this will take several months.

Symptoms are:

  • The first warning signs usually involve areas of respiratory tract such as sinuses, throat or lungs. The condition often worsens rapidly affecting blood vessels and organs such as kidneys.
  • Runny nose, stiffness, nose bleeds
  • Sinus infections
  • Fever
  • Fatigue and general aches and pains
  • Blood in urine
  • Skin sores or bruising
  • Eye redness, burning
  • Ear infections
  • Shortness of breath or wheezing
  • Coughing sometimes with bloody phlegm

Causes of Wegener's Granulomatosis

There is no known cause of granulomatosis. It can develop after an infection or other inflammation-causing events that trigger an abnormal reaction from the immune system. This reaction leads to inflamed and constricted blood vessels and harmful inflammatory tissue masses (granulomas). It can destroy normal blood tissue and narrow blood vessels reduce the amount of blood and oxygen that reaches the body tissues and organs. According to Ayurveda, this condition is a result of high Pitta in the body and depleted immunity. Modern treatment includes prescription of corticosteroids to control inflammation and other drugs that supress the immune system but these drugs have the potential to cause serious side-effects such as lowering the body's ability to fight infection. In contrast, Ayurvedic drugs are safe, effective and do not cause any side effects even after their long- term usage. Ayurvedic medicines work by reducing the high pitta dosha and by enhancing immunity.
