Lactose intolerance: an ayurvedic perspective-a conceptual study

Abstract

Ayurveda appears to have had a different view of food and its function in maintaining good health and curing diseases, even before the dawn of mainstream clinical research. Ayurveda believes that healthy eating is the basis of success and well-being, whereas unnatural nutrition is the basis of all maladies. In Ayurveda-sector, food is known as rasayana, vibrant, etc. Milk is also regarded as a complete-food by modern medical science. Lactose intolerance is a condition that limits the feeding of milk in humans. After infancy, like further creatures, most humans mislay the extracellular enzymelactase over time and it also offers us the opportunity to digest lactose, milk's principal sugar. Hypolactasia infects more than 70% of the planet's population, many times it goes unreported and generates mortality. Ayurvedic description of the In Mahodadhi Astyamita Dugdha, a historical treatise on dietary habits, addresses lactose intolerance. Milksensitivity therapy can actually be found in ancient books such as the Charakasamhita, where its disease was not addressed as a result of individuals, but can be seen scattered over and over again. The aim of this paper is to introduce the idea of lactose intolerance with Ayurvedic treatment options.
