Pancreatitis is a disease of the pancreas and its treatment is limited to painkillers, intravenous fluids and pancreatic enzymes. In absence of a substantial cure, alternative medicine, especially Ayurveda has shown promising results in treating Recurrent Acute/Chronic Pancreatitis (RA/CP). Based on one of the eight clinical specialties of Ayurveda, Rasa Shastra (RS), an Ayurvedic Mineral Complex (AMC), coupled with a balanced diet, moderate physical and mental rest, have shown sustainable results in the management of pancreatitis. RS deals with the therapeutics of metals and minerals which undergo tedious processing using substances of plant, animal and mineral origin. RS emphasizes restoring the lost equilibrium of minerals within body tissues, thereby, improving body metabolism. AMC was first prepared in mid-seventies by an Ayurvedic physician using copper, mercury, sulphur and herbs. It showed miraculous recovery of a patient suffering from an advanced pancreatic disease. Later, this approach showed similar results in treating Pancreatitis. All these cases have been well documented since January 1997. It is observed that within one year, AMC brings significant reduction in a number of emergency attacks and hospitalization without causing grade II toxicity, besides, helping patients regain weight. None of the patients received pancreatic enzymes after starting ayurvedic treatment. Process standardization and characterization of AMC is being carried out along with safety studies. The results of acute and sub-acute toxicity studies show that the formulation has no adverse effects. In this presentation, the speaker will discuss clinical data of the first 450 cases of RA/CP.
