Ayurvedic Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis

Ayurvedic treatment focuses on reducing both acute and chronic inflammation and decelerating the rate of degeneration. For reducing inflammation, procedures like Kizhi, Dhara etc are devised along with internal medications. For decelerating degeneration and demyelination, Panchakarma procedures like Vasti, Tarpana, Nasya etc are beneficial.

Here at Maurya Ayurveda Hospital, we believe in a holistic approach that provides relief and rehabilitation. So we have integrated sessions of physiotherapy, speech therapy, yoga and meditation along with classical Ayurvedic treatment.
The prime line of management is to eliminate the toxins that trigger inflammation. For this we administer pachana drugs and therapies. After the initial inflammation has subsided, our main focus is to manage demyelination that causes Balakshaya and Ojakshaya ( Loss of vitality). We provide nourishing therapies like Abhyanga, Shasthika Shali Pinda Sweda and Basti to control demyelination. Once the vitality is regained, measures to facilitate rehabilitation will be done. All this will ensure good relief from symptoms and an overall improvement in quality of life.
