What is Alzheimer's Disease?

What is Alzheimer's Disease?

Alzheimer’s is a form of dementia that impacts memory, cognition, and behaviour. It is marked by brain changes that cause the buildup of particular proteins. Alzheimer’s disease leads to the shrinkage and death of brain cells. Characterised by a gradual deterioration in memory, thinking, behaviour, and social skills, Alzheimer’s disease is responsible for the majority of cases of dementia.. A person’s functioning can be impacted by these changes. Forgetting recent events or conversations are among the initial signs of the disease. Gradually, it develops into severe memory issues and the inability to carry out daily activities. Alzheimer’s disease is responsible for the majority (60-80%) of dementia cases.

Causes of Alzheimer’s disease

Unveiling the Causes Behind the Disease

Book Now
It’s unclear what exactly causes Alzheimer’s disease. But basically, it's a problem with brain proteins not working normally. This affects brain cells, causing damage, loss of communication, and eventual cell death. Researchers think that a mix of environmental, behavioral, and hereditary variables that gradually alter the brain causes Alzheimer’s disease in most cases. Scientists studying Alzheimer’s disease are examining the involvement of two proteins.

Plaques

Beta-amyloid is protiein fragment. When these fragments come together, they can be toxic to neurons and interfere with communication among brain cells. The clumps combine to create amyloid plaques, which contain cellular debris as well.

Tangles

Tau proteins support and transport nutrients within brain cells. In Alzheimer's disease, tau proteins change shape and form tangles. These tangles disrupt the transport system and damage cells.

Symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease

Recognizing the early signs of Alzheimer's

Book Now
The primary sign of Alzheimer's disease is memory loss. Memory loss from recent discussions or experiences is one of the early warning signals. But as the illness worsens, memory deteriorates and new symptoms appear. An individual suffering from the illness may initially be conscious of difficulties with memory and cognitive function. A friend or family member may be more likely to identify problems if symptoms worsen. Alzheimer's disease-related brain abnormalities cause increasing problems with:
Memory

Memory

Alzheimer’s disease is a chronic illness that can affect daily functioning and professional performance due to continuous and progressive memory loss. Alzheimer’s patients may display repetitive behaviors, misplace objects, forget appointments, discussions, and events, have trouble navigating familiar environments, struggle to find words or find it difficult to participate in conversations. The impact of this memory loss on day-to-day functioning and life can be profound.
Thinking and reasoning

Thinking and reasoning

Alzheimer’s disease makes it difficult to focus and think, particularly when it comes to abstract ideas like numbers. Managing multiple tasks at once is very challenging. Keeping track of funds, balancing cheque books, and making on-time bill payments can be difficult. A person suffering from Alzheimer’s disease may eventually lose their ability to recognize and handle numbers.
Decision-making

Decision-making

Decision-making and judgment in daily life become increasingly difficult as one gets Alzheimer’s disease. For instance, a person might dress inappropriately for the weather or make bad decisions in social situations. Someone may find it more difficult to react to common issues. For instance, the person can be incapable of making judgment calls when driving or dealing with food burning on the stove.
Changes in personality and behavior

Changes in personality and behavior

Because Alzheimer’s disease alters the brain, it can cause a variety of behavioral and mental abnormalities. These shifts could show up as mood swings, depression, wandering tendencies, decreased inhibitions, aggression episodes, increased mistrust of others, and delusional beliefs like something has been stolen.

The Holistic Approach of Ayurveda in Treating Alzheimer’s

Rather than only treating Alzheimer's disease, Ayurveda provides treatment as part of a comprehensive strategy. Alzheimer's disease treated with Ayurveda not only enhances general health but also reduces symptoms. According to Ayurveda, Dementia is seen as a Vata disorder, specifically prana vata, that disrupts normal movement and circulation in the body. This impairs the cells’ ability to operate normally and damages the brain’s cells, leading to brain degeneration. Ayurvedic dementia treatment aims to revitalize both the brain and body, improving brain function. For total body detoxification, therapeutic techniques, including Vaman, Virechana, Nasya, and Vasti are employed. Shirodhara and Abhyanga procedures are known for their ability to effectively revive brain cells. The treatment includes the use of internal herbal medication made from medicinal herbs.
