Remedy For Pancreas disorder

Pancreas
Pancreas is located in the upper abdomen - It lays in between the duodenum and adrenal glands.


Function
Pancreas is an organ that produce pancreatic juices and hormones such as Insulin,Glucagon and somatostatin.



Production of digestive fluid
The enzym production from pancreas helps to break down the carbohydrates into small substance and protein into smallest elements called amino acid. The pancreatic juices are enzymes enter into small intestine and combine with food .


Hormone production
Hormonal glands in the pancreas produce two different types of hormones (1) Glucagon and (2)Insulin. Insulin plays an important role in metabolism, manage to maintain glucose level in blood steam.The normal glucose level is between 80 to 120 mg%.In contrast, glucagon convert the glycogen stored in liver into glucose enter into bloodstream .

Reflexes area
Kidney - ureter - bladder - lymph nodes -liver- pituitary gland - pancreas - stomach-deodenum.


Disorder

  • Diabetes type1-pancreas does not produce Insulin (Insulin -dependent-diabetes mellitus-IDDM)

  • Diabetes type 2-pancreas does produce insulin in small quantities,but not enough.( Non-Insulin dependent diabetes militus NIDDM)

  • High blood sugar (hyperglycemia)-is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the plasma.

  • Low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia)- occurs when your blood glucose (blood sugar) level drops too low to provide enough energy for your body's activities.
  • Enzymes deficiency is the main factor of causing metabolism disease.

  • If the nutrients in the foods can not be utalised by our body due to pancreas problem,it may cause to organs dysfunction and lead to malnutrition problems ( caused by an improper and insufficient diet ).




  • Why enzymes deficiency occurred ?
    According to the research, it shows that enzymes deficiency may cause by duodenum dysfunction. When constriction occurred in duodenum it would automatically narrow down the open edge and limited the flow of pancreas juices into duodenum.In this case ,the remain juices will flow backward into pancreas and interrupt the pancreas functions.
