Multiple Sclerosis(MS)

Multiple Sclerosis is an auto-immune disease in which the insulation (myelin sheath) of the nerve cell fibres (of the brain and the spinal cord) is damaged, hampering the neuro-circuitry of the body. The medical context, the word 'sclerosis' refers to ‘hardening of multiple nerve fibres’ due to loss of flexibility. This disease usually develops early in life and is known to affect women more.

As per Ayurveda, this disease is caused due to the unbalanced state of Doshas (Kapha, Pitta, and Vata) in the body, especially Vata (prana energy) that governs the well-being of the Nervous System. This imbalance leads to creation and circulation of toxic residue (Ama). Ama further blocks the movement of body energies (Doshas) resulting in permanent damage to dhatus (tissues) and neuro-muscular disorders. Ayurvedic recommends treatment of the disease through procedures focussing on the elimination of toxins, boosting up of the Nervous System and restoration of digestive fire(Agni).

Although clear reasons for this ailment is not established, Multiple Sclerosis is usually seen in patients having:

Imbalance and deterioration of nervous system strength and stability
The accumulation of toxins and impurities in tissues
Compromised immune response and depressed healing and resistance ability
Physical and mental stress

Symptoms Of Multiple Sclerosis include:

Loss or blurring of vision
Loss of control
Pain in nerves
Weakness and fatigue
Speech impairments
Diarrhoea and constipation
Recurring facial palsy
Difficulty in swallowing
Urinary incontinence
