Abstract

PCOD/ PCOS/ SteinLeventhal-syndrome / functional ovarian hyperandrogenism / ovarian hyperthecosis/ sclerocycstic ovary syndrome is a heterogeneous disorder not merely dysfunction of ovaries; but it’s a systemic, endocrine & also a metabolic disorder Symptoms like menstrual irregularities, hirsutism, acne, hair loss, skin problems, obesity and fertility are only the tip of the iceberg. It is the more serious health problems like Infertility, DM, cancer, cardiovascular diseases that are the actual worries. Sarcoidosis is also known as Besnier-Boeck-Schaumann disease. It is a disease which involves abnormal collections of inflammatory cells. These inflammatory cells form lumps which are known as granulomata Most commonly this disease begins in the lungs, skin, or lymph nodes. Less commonly it affects the eyes, liver, heart, and brain. Any organ, however, can be affected. Ayurveda, mainly aims at the treatment of diseases as well as maintenance of health. Ayurveda mainly emphasizes on the Doshas and Dushyas involved, in understanding the manifestation of the disease rather than its nomenclature. Any type of disease or Vikara is generated when the vitiated Dosha resides in Dhatu or in Mala or in both. When the vitiated Doshas are attached to a particular Dhatu and produce any kind of malformation in the production or even alter the functions of the related Dhatu, then it is termed as Dhatu Pradosaja Vikara. Sarcoidosis is one such condition.
