Ayurveda Natural Treatment Alcoholism And Opiate Drugs Dependence

Author : Gurnam Saini  

Alcoholism refers to the condition in which the patients experience a strong psychological desire and physical dependency to consume alcohol regardless of how it can affect their health. If not controlled, it can lead to a physical compulsion coupled with a mental obsession to consume alcohol. This can lead to long-term consequences, as alcohol can cause significant damage to the liver and other organs of the body.

 

Ayurveda can offer a natural treatment for alcoholism to help them overcome the uncontrollable desire to consume alcohol. This can help them to avoid the undesirable consequences of chronic alcoholism and restore their liver health.

 

Alcoholism is considered a chronic disease that results from the regular consumption of alcohol. Alcohol causes dependency by raising the levels of dopamine in the brain. The higher dopamine levels gratify the drinking experience by improving the release of feel-good hormones.

 

Over the medium- or long-term, excessive alcohol consumption can significantly alter dopamine levels and other brain chemicals. This can make the patient's body crave more alcohol to enjoy the same level of pleasure and gratification. This results in a state of dependency in which the patients find it difficult to cope with life's situations without alcohol intake. The body develops a dependence on alcohol, so the patient suffers from severe withdrawal symptoms when they try to avoid alcohol intake.

 

Ayurveda can also help people to quit or control their alcohol intake. Regular use of ayurvedic medicine to stop or control alcohol can help them to avoid the signs and symptoms of alcoholism, such as drinking in secret, not being able to limit their alcohol consumption, blacking out, being irritated or annoyed at trifles, and dropping hobbies they used to enjoy. Alcohol and opioid withdrawal treatment using ayurvedic herbs can help patients to minimize these symptoms and reduce alcohol consumption and the doses of opiate drugs without the risk of any complications. [1]

 

The use of alcohol and painkiller withdrawal remedies and vitamins can help patients to prevent the complications caused due to abstinence from alcohol as well as the discontinuation of the painkiller opiate drugs.

 

Opiate Drugs Addictions Ayurveda Treatments

 

Similarly, Opiate drugs, when used for a longer duration, create a dependency and lead to withdrawal symptoms when the patients stop using them. Patients can opt for opiate withdrawal by using Ayurvedic herbs. These herbs can work by supporting the body's natural mechanisms to wean from the effects of opiate drugs.

 

Opiate drugs alter the way the brain responds to a pain stimulus. These drugs can also produce a feeling of euphoria by disrupting the pleasure and reward centers in the brain. The central nervous system has opioid receptors, which receive the opiate drugs to produce emotional and physical effects. It can cause changes in the heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and body temperature, thus creating a sensation of pleasure.

 

Abuse of opioid drugs can modify the way the brain chemistry works, leading to emotional and physical dependence. The body does not feel "normal" without interacting with these drugs, so the withdrawal symptoms occur between the doses or when the person stops taking the opiates.

 

The withdrawal symptoms caused due to the unassisted discontinuation of the opiate drugs include nausea, depression, muscle cramping, agitation, anxiety, and intense opiate craving. 

 

Natural Remedies For Alcohol Withdrawal

 

Patients who are experiencing dependency on alcohol can be advised to use natural remedies for alcohol withdrawal to avoid the complications of chronic alcoholism. Natural herbs can help restore the brain's balance of dopamine and feel-good hormones. This can help patients to prevent the withdrawal symptoms that arise upon the sudden discontinuation of alcohol consumption.

 

The natural remedies for opiate withdrawal can also help similarly by preventing an imbalance in the levels of neurotransmitters and other chemicals in the brain that occurs when the patients stop using these drugs.

 

Alcohol And Opioid Drugs Withdrawal Remedies

 

The alcohol and Opioid withdrawal remedies mentioned below can help reduce the symptoms caused due to abstinence. These herbs can also manage opiate withdrawal by acting on the nervous system and supporting its natural functions to maintain the body's balance of hormones and neurotransmitters.

 

Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi): Jatamansi is a good ayurvedic herb that can help quit or control alcohol and opiate drugs. It can work by maintaining the balance of chemicals in the brain, thus preventing withdrawal symptoms. [2]

 

Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri): Ayurveda, the system of Indian medicine, recommends using Brahmi to improve brain functions and reduce the risk of depression and loss of mental acuity, which could be linked to alcohol and opiate consumption. [3]

 

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): Ashwagandha can treat drug and alcohol abuse. It works by preventing the imbalance of hormones in the nervous system and rejuvenating the mind. It can avoid fatigue, weakness, and other symptoms caused due to alcohol withdrawal. [4]

 

Kutaj (Wrightia antidysenterica): Kutaj can be taken during and after stopping the use of alcohol and opiate drugs. It can reduce the frequency and intensity of the withdrawal of digestive symptoms like loose motions, cramps, etc.

 

Amla (Indian Gooseberry): It can act as an antioxidant and prevent damage to the liver, brain, and other organs due to long-term consumption of alcohol and opiate drugs. [5]

 

Herbal remedies that can work to help to stop alcohol addiction

 

Ayurvedic treatment using herbal remedies and panchakarma detox can help someone who wants to stop naturally drinking alcohol. This can also help to reduce the risk of complications from alcohol consumption, such as fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. 

 

The use of herbs is coupled with an Ayurvedic diet. The diet comprises essential nutrients that can improve brain functions and prevent an imbalance in the levels of chemicals in the nervous system. The alcohol withdrawal natural treatment is aimed at preventing relapse of alcohol craving and consumption in the future.

  • I have been suffering from IBS for quite a few years. My last resort was to see the doctor in Pure Herbal Ayurveda Clinic. Dr. Saini has helped me get my gut back to a itself. I am able to eat Gluten now and my gut issues have reduced quite a lot. I have more energy now.

  • I have been struggling with IBS-C related gut issues for over 10 years, have been eating low fodmap for many years with no resolutions to my gut function. Recently I’ve been seeing Gurnam Saini (Ayurvedic Doctor) and in only one month of treatment with natural therapies I’ve seen outstanding results. Previously I was unable to digest foods properly/unable to have regular or efficient bowel movements (feeling very unwell due to this), back pain related to abdominal pain, having trouble sleeping and low energy. I’m currently one month into treatment and I never thought I’d be able to restore regular gut function, but I’m properly digesting foods, my sleep is phenomenal and I have a surge in energy, most importantly my mind feels clear and focused with no brain fog and I feel like myself again after years living with the stress of IBS. I’m going to start re-introducing foods in 6 months and have great faith in the knowledge and professionalism shown by Gurnam Saini and the team at Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic.

  • Can't recommend highly enough. After 18 months of working with other health professionals (including doctors, naturopaths, chiropractors and osteopaths), I was finally able to heal my body with simple dietary and lifestyle changes recommended by Dr Saini. Ayurvedic approach tackles not only physical health but also emotional and spiritual, and the herbs and treatments are also tailored to your particular dosha (body type). After working with Dr Saini for a few months I did the Panchkarma cleanse, which I was very skeptical about, but I was amazed that this fixed my gut problems. The treatments during Panchkarma were actually quite amazing - Pooja is a miracle worker and so lovely. Dr Saini's knowledge and client base is very highly regarded in the industry, with other well-known Ayurvedic resorts using this clinic when in Melbourne. Highly recommend.

  • I was suffering from ibs from a long time urgency to go to toilet and mucus in stool . Even I ordered medicine from India but it wasn’t work and proper guidelines there, they just there for sale the medicine only . Dr shani only one months medicine improved 80% of my gut problem . If anyone suffering from symptoms like ibs or gut issue I will definitely recommend to visit dr shani clinic .

    Rekha Gupta

  • Since September 2018, I have been in and out of hospital with consistent bowel and rectal issues. Three weeks after my last surgery this year, I literally stumbled across Pure Herbal. Dr Saini, (Ayurvedic Doctor) has been an absolute God send. I have worked closely with him since March. I have been extremely commited to the daily herbal regime, detox and treatments provided at Pure Health. At 46, I have never felt better physically, mentally and spiritually. What were constant symptoms, are now a thing of the past. I will continue this cleansing journey and with Dr Saini's expertise, I know my health will continue to improve. 🙏

  • Thank you Dr Saini for the remarkable improvement in my health since first seeing you only 3 months ago. With herbal supplements, herbal teas and a single panchakarma treatment I have already experienced the following benefits that western medicine had not been able to assist: * Lower blood pressure permitting a reduction in medication. * Reduced anxiety. * No dizziness or fainting following sudden exercise such as climbing stairs. * Eye floaters gone. * Persistent (2 year) cough almost gone. * Frequent reflux gone. With continued treatment and lifestyle changes I am looking forward to: * normal blood pressure without medication, * weight loss without strict diets, * cough gone!


    Ray Dempsey

  • I am very happy with the treatment and thankful for Dr.Saini. I was suffering from psoriasis for past 7 years. I never had such an improvement with any medications before. Psoriasis in my face was completed cleared in first 3 months. And almost 50% improvement in other places of my body in last one month. Ayurveda has a better impact on mind , body and soul rather than harmful anti immune tablets which is used as a medication for the condition. I really appreciate Dr.Saini for the his compassion.

  • It was a wonderful experience with u guys.A natural way to fight the disease with no side effects of treatment.


    Harmeet Kaur

  • I cannot recommend highly enough. This has been my first experience with Ayurvedic medicine and the Panchakarma cleanse and I can finally say that after years of striving for better health and wellbeing, I finally understand what is going to work for me moving forward. Having experience a traumatic event and subsequent PTSD 5 years ago, my gut and my body became increasingly compromised. In this time I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome and various ailments of the gut. I came to see Dr Saini and Pooja at a time that I felt frustrated with my years of work to see some more obvious progress with my healing. Having completed the Panchakarma cleanse, I am feeling fully renewed. Awake. Settled. I no longer struggle to wake each morning and get through each day. My appetite feels steady and all cravings have completely ceased. I now have some tools under my belt to fall back on when I know my digestive system needs a break. This cleanse has been a complete game changer. Thankyou Dr Saini and Pooja for you incredible guidance and support. Liz
