Ayurvedic Treatment for Parkinsons

Parkinson’s disease is a movement disorder. It affects the nervous system, and symptoms become worse over time.

Parkinson’s disease occurs when brain cells that make dopamine, a chemical that coordinates movement, stop working or die. Parkinson’s disease can cause tremor, slowness, stiffness, and walking and balance problems, it is called a movement disorder.

According to ayurveda, Parkinson’s disease is co-related with kampavata. Vatadosha is more predominant in the body during old age. This vata relocates in the brain and dries up the brain cells leading to tremors and instability. Parkinson’s disease reflects massive vitiation of vata which occupies almost all channels of the body. Weak digestive fire, disturbed digestion and presence of toxins (ama) are generally observed in the patient at gastrointestinal as well as cellular levels, which provide conducive environment for vitiation of vata.

Ayurveda treatment for Parkinson’s Disease requires early diagnosis and long term management for avoiding long term complications.
