About Motor Neuron Disease

Motor neuron disease (MND), also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movements. While there is no known cure for MND, Ayurvedic medicine offers a holistic approach to managing the symptoms and improving the quality of life for those with the disease.

 

According to Ayurveda, MND is caused by an imbalance of the Vata dosha, which governs movement and the nervous system. Ayurvedic treatment aims to restore balance to the Vata dosha through a combination of dietary changes, herbal remedies, massage, and lifestyle modifications.

The Ayurvedic approach

Ayurveda bases all its interpretations on doshas. After extensively studying the causes and symptoms of diseases, the scholars of Ayurveda explain its manifestation due to the concerned dosha.Here in MND, it is believed to occur due to the vitiation of vata dosha that happens because of its blockage by other doshas, pitta, or kapha (predominantly kapha dosha)Therefore, MND can be considered a vata vyadhi.As MND is a vata-predominant disease, treatment to pacify vata along with the pacifying of blockage that causes the disease is the treatment principle that is applied. The below-mentioned treatments can be administered :

Eliminatory procedures
  • Enema (vasti)
  • Sudation procedure
  • Rasayana (rejuvenative) procedures using herbs like ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)  and formulations like chyawanprash etc
