Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Dear Katherina, The ayurvedic approach to fight NMD revolves round the tridoshic especially Vata balancing. You know walking movement is made possible due to normal functions of Vata (Ayurvedic motility control panel). The definition of Vata itself explains that normal function of Vata is regulation of motor & sensory functions. Therefore deregulations of Vata result in to the onset of a disease usually manifests as an impairment of these functions. Vata gets deregulated in two ways (i)Degeneration (Dhatukshaya) and (ii)Local blockage of neuromuscular channels (Margavrodha) The basic etiologies include faulty diet and Trauma. NMD affects some part of the neuromuscular system viz. the muscles, the peripheral motor nerves or the muscle controlling nerve cells (motor neurons) in the spinal cord. Walking disabilities are more prominent. Motor neurons are nerve cells located in brain, brain stem, and spinal cord that serve as controlling units and vital communication links between the nervous system and the voluntary muscles of the body. Messages from motor neurons in the brain (called upper motor neurons) are transmitted to motor neurons in the spinal cord (called lower motor neurons) and from them to particular muscles. All neuromuscular diseases are progressive in nature, and all results in muscle weakness and fatigue. Some NMDs are present at birth, some manifest in childhood, and others have an adult onset. The disease may be passed down through family genetic lines. At other times there is not a family history and the disease is the result of a spontaneous genetic mutation, or an abnormal immune response or an unknown cause. But in every case Vata deregulation is the primary cause. Ayurvedic Approach of treatment: Ayurvedic treatments focus on Tridosha balancing and empowerment of dhatus. Thereby focus on treating or delaying symptoms, enhancing physical mobility and preventing cardiac and respiratory complications. Ayurvedic approach includes following measures:- 1.Panchkarma Procedures: Til Mash Pinda Swedana, Anuvasana Vast both are useful to support Neuro-muscular system. 2.For heart and lungs support we suggest effortful practice of Bhastrika Pranayama. 3.Mamsagni Rasayana is specific ayurvedic preparation for NMS and has promising results. Some ayurvedic herbs viz. Strobilanthes heyneanus Nees. (Sahachara), Vitex nedundo (Nirgundi) and Sida retusa (Bala) are of vital use. These can be administered as medicated oils or as food supplements. 4.Nutritional support (oral and through Panch karma procedures) is very important. Prognosis: Walking disabilities are described as difficult to cure (Krichasadhya). 3 Even after all efforts, complete relief may not be possible. References: 1.
