Introduction Of Angiomyomatous Lymphoid Hamartoma

It was first described by Chan et al. in 1991. This condition or disease is also known with other names like Castleman disease, Giant lymph node hyperplasia, Angiofollicular lymph hyperplasia and Benign giant lymphoma.

Ayurvedic point of view On Angiomyomatous Lymphoid Hamartoma

In the Ayurvedic system of medicine, the approach of diagnosis and preparing a treatment plan is totally holistic in nature. According to the ancient texts of Ayurveda, the human body is composed of five elements i.e Space, Air, Water, Fire, and Soil (Earth). These five elements in a fixed proportion come together in three different forms which constitute a dosha (life processing energy). There are a total three doshas described in Ayurveda i.e Vata, Pitta and Kapha dosha. These life energies work in a balanced way in a healthy human being. A disease is nothing but an imbalance in these doshas or one of them. Therefore to treat a disease the aim should be bringing that lost balance in the dosha which is involved in causing a particular disease. In Angiomatous lymphoid hamartoma the culprit is Kapha dosha.
