Fibromyalgia
treatment based on Ayurvedic principles
and food science
Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain and spinal cord process painful and nonpainful signals, and the over active Neurotransmitters going in to the muscles induce a buildup of Lactic acid and Uric acid in the muscles causing Trigger points or areas that have severe sensitivity to touch.

Antioxidants
Oxidative stress is thought to play an important role in the pathologies of Fibromyalgia. One of the ways to counteract the excess of free radicals is to resort to certain nutrients, such as antioxidants. Higher the level of antioxidants in our body, the more protected we are against oxidative damage. In people with FM, a decrease in antioxidant levels can increase pain.

Polyphenols
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a disturbing symptom in many people suffering from Fibromyalgia. A variety of mechanisms and pathological conditions including inflammation, oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation and different lifestyles are involved in IBS. Polyphenols might be applicable for preventing IBS and improving the IBS symptoms, mainly through suppressing the inflammatory signaling pathway.
