Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD)

Mixed connective-tissue Disease is a serious disorder which is a combination of several autoimmune diseases such as Reynaud's phenomenon, arthritis, myositis, skin rash, and involvement of the heart and lungs.  Mixed connective-tissue disease usually results from a decreased or compromised immunity, in which the immune complex of the body works against itself.  This condition is more common in women, and its onset is usually seen in a young age.

Mixed connective-tissue disease is usually treated in the modern system of medicine with steroids and other medicines which suppress the body immunity.  While this gives symptomatic relief initially, the long-term results are not favorable and the side-effects of these medicines can be considerable and quite serious.  Ayurvedic herbal treatment is very effective in the treatment of mixed connective-tissue disease.  The most important aspect of Ayurvedic treatment is that it aims to correct the autoimmune process going on in the body of the affected individual.  Correction of the immune complex is a must in order to treat the condition completely.  Ayurvedic herbal medicines normalize the immune process and treat the inflammatory reaction going on in the body, which results in the manifestation of autoimmune disorders mentioned above.

Ayurvedic herbal medicines are aimed at normalizing and correcting the tissues of the body such as blood, muscle, fat, skin, as well as the imported internal organs.  This process is usually slow and takes around eighteen to twenty-four months in order to show significant improvement.  However, treatment in this manner corrects and normalizes the inflammatory process going on in these tissues and in the internal organs and thereby leads to a complete cure of the condition.  Aggressive treatment of this condition in the initial phase of the disease is advisable in order to prevent serious manifestations of the imported internal organs in the long run.  Involvement of the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys can be serious and possibly fatal; hence early recognition of these conditions and prompt treatment is very important.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment is thus very effective in the management of mixed connective-tissue disease and this treatment should be offered to all individuals affected with this condition, since the viable and effective treatment options for this condition are few in the modern system of medicine.

An order once placed, cannot be cancelled. For exceptional circumstances (e.g. sudden death of patient), we need to get our medicines returned in good and usable condition, after which a refund will be effected after deducting 30 % administrative expenses. Return will be at the cost of the client. Capsules and powders do not qualify for a refund. Local courier charges, international shipping costs incurred, and documentation and handling charges also will not be refunded.Even in case of exceptional circumstances, a refund will be considered only within 10 days from delivery of the medicines. The decision taken by staff of Mundewadi Ayurvedic Clinic in this respect will be final and binding on all clients.

The treatment package includes shipping costs for domestic clients who are ordering within India. Shipping charges are extra for international clients. In addition, international clients will have to select a minimum of 2 months' order since this will be the most cost effective and practical option.

With a full course of treatment, most patients with mild or moderate disease get complete relief  with just oral medicines ; patients with severe and advanced disease usually require several courses of Panchkarma treatment along with prolonged duration of oral medicines for a complete remission. Since this disease has an auto-immune component, we also advise concurrent diet and lifestyle modifications.
