Managing MCTD Naturally: A Holistic Approach Through Ayurveda
Understanding Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD)
Lupus, scleroderma, and polymyositis these are few conditions which overlap a complex autoimmune condition Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD). Characters of the MCTD are- chronic inflammation, joint and muscle pain, hardening of skin. Besides thi there are potential risks with lungs, heart and kidneys. Due to its wide spread nature MCTD often leads to challenges in daily life, mobility and quality of life.
Connective tissue is abundantly spread out in the body. Right from the skin, to blood vessels and to the muscles- lungs to heart too. In MCTD, the whole connective tissue is at risk. And when this impact comes on the vulnerable organs like lungs and heart it becomes complicated. Except immunosuppressant medicines conventional medicine has nothing to offer for these patients and these medicines come with a cost to health- a tons of side effects. Ayurveda has more to offer in this spectrum and can help the patient not only with management of the condition, but also with complete recovery too.
The Need for a Comprehensive Approach in MCTD Management
Conventional medicines just want to suppress the immune system by using- corticosteroids and anti-inflammatory drugs. These medicines are good at providing the quick relief. But this relief is as temporary as quick. And comes with a lot of side effects. Many patients go through repetitive flare ups, dependancy on medicines. These doesn’t leave a long lasting results.
Ayurveda emerges as a transformative approach. Ayurveda not only focuses on symptomatic relief but also works on addressing the pathological reversal. This works on systemic detoxification, modulates immunity and helps tissues.

- Dryness and stiffness are at the core of the problem in MCTD. Through procedures like- Navarkizhi, Poddikizhi, and Basti it helps in strengthening musculoskeletal health. This also alleviate joint and muscle discomfort.
