Ayurvedic Outlook

According to Ayurveda, Parkinsonism or Parkinson disease is known as “kampavata”. Kampa means tremor and Vata is one of the humor which regulate air and all the movements in the body. The principle of the Ayurveda is to achieve balance of all three humors in the body. This disorder is caused by the aggravated Vata Dosha, which is the presence of aggravated air in the brain. The aggravated air is formed as a result of pure digestion, increased vata dosha in the stomach and then it moves to the brain. Over the time, the aggravated air effects the area of the brain that control involuntary movements hence it leads to Parkinsonism. Ayurveda provides its treatment so many years ago, before switching on the treatment.

  • Akinesia: Loss or impairment of the voluntary movement.
  • Drooling: Drop saliva uncontrollably from the mouth.
  • Tremor: An involuntary quivering movement.
  • Constant somnolence: Sleepiness or drowsiness.
