What is ITP?
Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is a disorder in which blood doesn’t clot normally and excessive bleeding occurs due to a low level of platelet count. It can occur in both children and adults but women are more prone to develop ITP.
ITP is also referred to as immune thrombocytopenia.
What are the Causes of ITP?
The exact cause of ITP (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura) is not known that’s why it is known as Idiopathic. But there are various causes that can lead to the development of ITP.
Abnormal functioning of the immune system is one of the reasons for ITP. Sometimes the immune system starts to generate antibodies against platelets that mistakenly attack platelets.
Platelets are small blood cells that help in the blood coagulation process.
It can occur due to some medical conditions such as viral infections, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, sepsis, systemic lupus erythematosus, some infections like HIV, hepatitis or H. pylori, etc.
What are the Symptoms of ITP?
- Excessive bruising
- Blue, red or brown colored spots appear over the whole body
- Bleeding from the gums or nose
- Unusual heavy menstrual flow
- Continue bleeding from cuts
- Blood in urine or stools
- Excessive bleeding during surgery
How ITP can be Diagnosed?
Firstly the doctor does a complete physical examination and asks you about your medical history. He tells you to get some tests done like –
CBC (complete blood count)
Blood smear
Bone marrow test
How Ayurveda can help in the Treatment of ITP?
According to Ayurveda Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura can be correlated to Raktpitta. The consumption of more Amal, Lavan, and KatuRas leads to the formation of Ama rasa and vitiates Pitta dosha in the body which is the main cause of Raktpitta.
There are various herbs which pacify the vitiated Pitta dosha and helps to treat Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura naturally.
(Reference: Charaka Samhita, Part 2, Chikitsasthanam, Raktpittchikitsaadhyaya: 8)
Meaning: Due to the intake of hot, bitter and sour foods, there is a vitiation of Pitta dosha which gets mixed up with the blood tissue. Pitta is produced in the blood, when it mixes with blood it vitiates blood. As a result, there is a production of heat in the blood and due to heat, tissues such as muscles and blood get destroyed.
