Sarcoidosis is a condition in which there is growth of tiny collections of inflammatory granulomas in any part of the body. The most common body parts are lungs and lymph nodes and can also affect eyes, skin, heart and other organs. The symptoms of sarcoidosis are fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, weight loss, pain and swelling in joints, dry cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, lesions on nose, scarring, blurred vision, severe redness, eye pain, fainting, edema, etc. this can be caused due to genetic disposition that is triggered by bacterial or viral attack. This causes a reaction in the body that fights against itself causing sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis primarily impacts lymph nodes which is a place where Kapha dosha exists. But, when pitta dosha starts affecting the lymph nodes, Kapha dosha is vitiated and lymph nodes lose their nature. This leads to hardening of lymph nodes. Further, as Kapha dosha deteriorates in the lung region, the Vata dosha dries it off and leads to fibrosis of lungs. Further, inflammation at cellular level is caused as the cells are being covered with Ama, which is caused due to low Agni and low Ojas.
Thus, while treating sarcoidosis in ayurveda, it is important to pacify the effects of vitiated doshas and boost Agni and Ojas. The treatment involves intake of herbal formulations like guluchyadi kashyam, ashwagandha rasayana, triphala guggul, kaishore guggul, shallaki vati, haridrakhandam, tulsi ghan vati, etc. It is also accompanied by panchakarma therapies that help in elimination of ama from the body and restoring the functioning of Agni and Ojas. A proper diet and exercise regimen are also suggested to boost metabolism and elimination of ama from the body. This line of treatment helps in reversal of the condition in a holistic way.

“The ayurvedic approach of disease looks for the root cause and not merely the symptoms. The basic principles of Ayurveda consider an individual human a specific identity and hence his treatment giving importance to the treatment of the patient rather than the treatment of the disease.”
“Since Ayurveda focuses on the root-cause of the disease, it effectively reduces the risk of severe health complications arising out of the untreated underlying cause. Patients who complete their Ayurveda treatment have a reduced risk of health complications later.”
