Abstract:-

An imbalance in the arrangement of Agni (digestive enzymes) and Dosha are the major reasons behind all disorders. This gradually act upon Immune system, causing Oja Kshaya (deterioration of body strength) and adversely affect each and every Dhatu (tissue level). In some cases one's mind will also get affected leading to either depression ,anxiety or stress (Klonopin Clonazepam)  and so on. Among the clinical features of Adrenal Insufficiency, Fatigue, depression, anorexia, emaciation diarrhoea, nausea, vomitting ,hyper pigmentation etc: mimic various disorders. Hence there is chance for misdiagnosis. However through proper investigations, Adrenal Insufficiency can be diagnosed. The main objective of presentation is to provide an awareness about the gland, its hormones and associated diseases mainly the autoimmune Adrenal Insufficiency . The Adrenal gland and Kidney (Vrikka)  together forms the Moolasthana (origin or governing site) for Medovaha Srotas (channels carrying nutrition). Medas (fat / adipose tissue / marrow) being Pruthvi (earth elements) and Jala (water elements) predominant area , Kapha dosha  will be dominant in this area. There will be the involvement of Apana Vata  (type of vata) also in this area. The Lakshana  or symptoms of patients often shows the possibility that there is Vata Prakopa (vitiation of Vata) and Kapha Kshaya (decreased kapha).  Hence treatments should be scheduled to regulate Apana Vata  and Kapha Vaishamyata (imbalance),rapy.such as Brimhana therapy . Thus Dhatupaka or Dhatu Kshaya (degeneration of tissues) can be corrected and Ojovrudhi ( increase in health or strength ) can be achieved .

 Key words:  Adrenal Insuficiency, Apana Vata  and Kapha Vaishamyata ,Ojovridhi
