How does Ayurveda help to treat Muscular Dystrophy Ayurveda

In the Ayurveda system of medicine, a condition known as Mamsa Kshaya or Sosha can be considered as the wasting of muscles, wherein Mamsa means muscles and Kshaya or Sosha refer to loss or reduction. This condition occurs due to the aggravation of Vata dosha affecting the Sapta Dhatus or tissues during the growth phase. Emaciation of muscular parts, enlargement of joints, visibility of bones and vessels, and intolerance to physical exercise, strain, or work indicate Mamsa Kshaya or Sosha in a person. At AyurVAID, our goal is to improve the condition and arrest further disease progression. Our Ayurveda treatment protocols focus on medicines along with physical, and occupational therapies that strengthen and stretch muscles. Panchakarma therapies can help to retain function and range of motion.
