Ayurveda uses a distinctive method to manage health issues through Panchakarma and herbal medicine, focusing on eliminating their root causes. Ayurveda provides a comprehensive range of cognitive-enhancing drugs and nervous system tonics, known as Rasayana, for the treatment of Vata disorders. In Ayurveda, Dystonia, a neurodegenerative disease, is treated through the Rasayana or rejuvenative approach. Nutraceutical agents are the main components of Rasayana drugs, and Medhya Rasayana specifically refers to neuro-nutrients or nerve tonics that have a nootropic impact. The use of both internal medications and topical applications of medicines is crucial in treating Dystonia. When it comes to internal medicines, there are several options available, including decoctions, tablets, capsules, medicated ghee, bhasmas, and oils.
