Uveitis

Uveitis is a condition in which there is an inflammation of the middle part of the eye, between the sclera and the retina.  Depending upon which part is affected, uveitis may be termed as iritis, cyclitis, or choroiditis; however, the common factor is inflammation of that particular part.  The symptoms for this condition include sensitivity to light, blurred vision, pain, and redness in the eyes.  This condition can be either acute or chronic, and usually results from inflammatory conditions such as herpes zoster, histoplasmosis, toxoplasmosis, or arthritis.  This is a serious condition which can result in loss of vision, and hence requires prompt and aggressive treatment.  The modern management of this condition usually involves the use of steroids in the form of eye drops, and pupil dilators.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment for uveitis is aimed at reducing the inflammation in the eye, reversing the damage done to the eye, and providing soothing effect as well as nourishment to the damaged parts.  Herbal medicines are used in high doses in order to reduce inflammation at the earliest, so as to prevent loss of vision in the eyes.  Ayurvedic herbal medicines which have a high specific action on the eyes are used, in combination with other medicines which treat inflammation, reduce the damage to the inner parts of the eye, blood vessels as well as remove toxins from the microcirculation within the eyes.

In addition to oral medication, localised treatment is also given in the form of eye drops and application of medicated pastes over and around the eyes.  If required, these treatments are supplemented by special Panchkarma procedures such as medicated enemas, induced purgation and other treatments.  If the patient has a history of severe affliction with some infection or disease such as arthritis or toxoplasmosis, these need to be treated separately so as to simultaneously reduce the inflammation in the eyes and treat uveitis.

Most individuals affected with uveitis usually require Ayurvedic herbal treatment for about  4-6 months in order to get significant improvement from the symptoms.

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 improve significantly. Best results are obtained with a combination of oral Ayurvedic medications, local eye drops and Panchkarma modalities.
