Multiple Sclerosis MS Ayurvedic Natural Treatment

Ayurvedic Insights: A Natural Approach to Multiple Sclerosis Care

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that affects the nervous system, especially the brain, spinal cord and the nerves. It is a chronic disorder that causes symptoms such as weakness of the muscles or paralysis, muscle stiffness, blurred vision and even blindness. Natural treatment for multiple sclerosis with the help of herbal remedies and Ayurvedic therapies like Marma Ayurvedic Massage, Shirodhara (Third Eye Drip), and Swedena (Herbal steam fomentation) may help offer relief from these symptoms.

Multiple sclerosis is caused due to the damage to the myelin sheath of the nerves as a result of which their ability to carry impulses is hampered. This condition is considered autoimmune in nature as it is triggered due to a faulty immune system that attacks the normal tissues like the myelin sheaths. The herbal remedies possess medicinal properties, which help to treat multiple sclerosis by correcting the abnormal response of the immune system and protecting the myelin sheaths.

The damage to the myelin results in the formation of a scar or sclerosis. Hence, Multiple sclerosis means the development of scar tissues called lesions or plaques in multiple nerves of the body. As the disease progresses, the lesions get worse resulting in the breakage of the nerve fibers.

The incidence of this disease is higher in the people between 20 and 50 years of age. The risk is higher in women than men. The environmental factors such as the exposure to the sunlight may play a role in determining the risk of occurrence of this condition.

The role of diet in the development of this disease is not known. However, Ayurvedic experts recommend following a dosha specific diet that could hasten the recovery and maintain the overall health and fitness of the patient.
