Cystic Fibrosis is a autosomal recessive disorder which affects epithelial cells of the respiratory tract , disgestive tract , reproductive tracts and leads to abnormal secretion.

Affected individual carries defective copy of CF gene , it can damage many organ system and particularly affect epithelia of lungs and lead to bronchoectasis ( narrowing of bronchi ) which causes COPD in childhood and early adulthood.

Every person carries two gene which are inherited from both parents , and those who inherit faulty gene from parent will have cystic fibrosis .

In cystic fibrosis there is alteration in the viscosity of the mucus produces at epithelial surfaces. Disease is characterised by chronic bacterial infection of airways leads to increased secretions , exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and intestinal dysfunction , abnormal sweat gland functions.

HOW DOES IT MANIFEST

Mutation in CF gene on chromosome 7 leads to cystic fibrosis and this gene encodes protein called CFTR that is cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator . any defect in CFTR protein leads to disruption of chloride channels on the cells which will lead to more reabsorption of water and sodium and Due to this secretions in affected organ becomes thick and then obstruct ducts and leads to dilatation of secretory glands . In case of lungs bronchi are affected and thick secretion obstructs the airway passage.

CYSTIC FIBROSIS IN AYURVEDA

According to ayurveda imbalance of vata , pitta and kapha lead to manifestation of many diseases , CF in the lungs is related to the shawasa roga (respiratory disease) which is due to imbalance vata and kapha dosha mainly , where vitiated kapha dosha results in thick mucus production and also causes agnimandya (lowering power of digestive fire) , due to which amaj condition occurs  that lead to accumulation of toxins in the body whereas vitiated vata will carry this affected kapha to various part of the body and also vata (air) is obstructed by kapha causing symptoms like cough , chest pain and shortenss of breath.

So for restoring digestive power deepan (helps in ignition of digestive fire) and pachan( helps in digestion of undigested food and fasten metabolism) medicines are given to the patient .after igniting digestive fire , kapha and vata dosha are tackled with suitable herbs that helps in balancing them .
