3 Minute Read

Fibromyalgia is a disease characterized by intense and widespread muscular pain, stiffness, and tenderness. The real cause of the pain is unknown and unidentified. Patients usually try OTC medications and a variety of other treatments in tandem for pain relief and cure. 

Fibromyalgia which is also known as fibromyalgia syndrome or fibromyositis or fibrositis is characterized by chronic pain that is moving in nature. Some symptoms include fatigue, psychological distress, stiffness and tenderness throughout the body, and mood swings. 

In this case, the fibromyalgia pain is ranging from moderate to severe. Generally, fibromyalgia in women gets aggravated during the menstrual cycle. It is also associated with IBS. 

The condition is idiopathic and starts with Agni Mandya (when digestive fire gets debilitated ) and there is ama formation in the body. Ama can be correlated to toxins that move all over the body and get lodged in the joints causing pain, stiffness, and other symptoms.

Discussion 

As modern medicine has a limited role in the management of fibromyalgia symptoms and pain. Patients can use CBD instead of pain medications which can manage their symptoms better with fewer side effects. It has strong anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, as well as the ability to influence brain chemistry, effectively curing stress, anxiety, and IBS which are the main symptoms seen in the patients. 

Conclusion

Ayurveda has effective treatment modalities that give good relief to patients suffering from fibromyalgia. Ayurvedic treatments start with detoxification (ama pachana) and hence cure the pain. 

Panchakarma (the fivefold detox therapy) is advised by Ayurvedic doctors in patients suffering from fibromyalgia pain. The Vijaya (cannabis Sativa) extract oil is a full spectrum medical cannabis oil that contains more amounts of CBD (cannabidiol) and trace amounts of THC in it. This gives an entourage effect to cure pain and cure psychological symptoms.
