Diffuse systemic sclerosis managed with ayurvedic treatment modalities - A case report.

ABSTRACT: Diffuse systemic sclerosis or scleroderma is a chronic connective tissue disorder involving many systems and visceral organs. The association of interstitial lung disease carries high mortality risk. This is a case report of a patient aged 25-years, who was diagnosed as diffuse systemic sclerosis, a disease complex along with Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), sclerodactyly. She also presented with digital ulcers and calcium deposits in the ulcers. The symptomatology was understood by analysing the dosha predominance and the composition of the different qualities of each dosha in the patient. This complicated case with a bad prognosis was managed with Ayurvedic treatment procedures and medicines. Matrabasti (medicated enema) with mahamasha taila and dhanvantara taila was given. yogabasti wit
