As per ayurveda , Wegener’s granulomatosis is an auto-immune disease. Wegener’s granulomatosis disease involves four factors like Ama (toxicity), Agni (digestive capacity), Dosha (the balance of physiology) & Ojas (the physical principle of immunity equivalent to T-cells, natural killer cells, basophils, eosinophils, leukocytes & phagocytes etc). When these four factors imbalance it leads to this disease.

According to Ayurveda “vyaadhiksamatva” plays an important role in auto-immune disease. Vyaadhi means “disease” & ksamatva means “resistance”. It maintains immunity in the body both physically & mentally. If a person has good immunity, it makes the body disease free. Imbalance of tridosha (Vata, Pitta & Kapha) are the reason for this disease.

The four factor that are responsible for these types of diseases are:

Ama (toxicity): The toxins present in body gives birth to Wegener’s granulomatosis. With the help of ayurvedic medicines detoxification of body is done to get rid of this disease.

Agni (digestive capacity):If digestion power is weak, immunity of the body becomes weak that give rise to Wegener’s granulomatosis.

Dosha (the balance of physiology):All the tridosha (vata, pitta & kapha) are imbalanced in Wegener’s granulomatosis condition. Pitta is the most culprit dosh for this condition.

Ojas (also known as immunity):When the immunity is weak it give rise to auto-immune disease, one of them is Wegener’s granulomatosis.
