Addison’s disease
Addison’s disease from the point of view of Ayurveda
Addison's disease is also known as Hypocortisolism . It is a kind of hormonal disorder that affects the endocrine system of the body and causes less production of steroid hormones by the adrenal glands.
It is an uncommon disorder that occurs when your body doesn't produce enough hormones. In Addison's disease adrenal glands, that located just above your kidneys, produce too little cortisol and, often, too little aldosterone.
Signs and symptoms may include - Extreme fatigue, weight loss and decreased appetite, darkening of your skin (hyperpigmentation), low blood pressure, even fainting, salt craving, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), nausea, diarrhea or vomiting (gastrointestinal symptoms), abdominal pain, muscle or joint pains, irritability, depression or other behavioral symptoms, body hair loss or sexual dysfunction in women
