Significance of Degenerative disease
Degenerative diseases are characterized by the progressive decline of tissue or organ function, often worsening over time. They are frequently linked to oxidative stress and free radical damage, with conditions like heart disease and cancer falling into this category. Factors such as aging, unhealthy eating habits, and sugar consumption may influence these diseases. Various treatments, including herbal extracts, are being explored to manage these conditions.

Hindu concept of 'Degenerative disease'
In Hinduism, degenerative diseases, like diabetes and heart disease, are health conditions that worsen over time, impacting organs and tissues. They are often chronic, linked to aging and inflammation, and potentially caused by time itself (Kaaala/Parinama). Treatments like Marma Chikitsa and millets are used to combat these ailments.
