What is Multiple Sclerosis?

What is Multiple Sclerosis?

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic condition that affects the myelin surrounding nerves in your central nervous system. The immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath in multiple sclerosis (MS), resulting in impaired communication between the brain and the body. In the long run, the disease can result in irreversible harm or weakening of the nerve fibres.

It is commonly believed that this condition is an autoimmune disorder, where the body mistakenly targets itself. Multiple sclerosis is a condition that impacts individuals in various ways. Ayurvedic treatment for Multiple Sclerosis is highly effective and beneficial. Ayurvedic treatment promotes the health of the cells that produce myelin, while also enhancing your overall immune system. Ayurvedic therapy focuses on finding the underlying cause of the illness. Multiple Sclerosis can be triggered by an imbalance of Vata dosha. Due to its ability to bring the three doshas into balance, Panchakarma treatment is widely regarded as the most effective treatment for MS.

Causes

Exploring the root causes of Multiple Sclerosis

Book Now
The reason behind Multiple Sclerosis is still unknown. It’s considered an immune disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues. MS causes the immune system to attack and destroy the myelin in the brain and spinal cord. The reason for the development of MS in certain individuals remains unclear. Both genetics and environmental factors are believed to play a role in this. Some possible causes of Multiple Sclerosis are:

Genetics

Multiple sclerosis is not inherited directly, but there is a higher likelihood of developing it if you have a family member with the condition.

Vitamin D deficiency

Countries located far from the equator tend to have higher rates of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), possibly due to limited sunlight and lower levels of vitamin D.

Smoking

The likelihood of developing MS is roughly two times higher in individuals who smoke compared to those who do not smoke.

Teenage obesity

The risk of developing Multiple Sclerosis is higher in individuals who were obese during their teenage years

Gender

The chances of women developing Multiple Sclerosis are 2 to 3 times higher than those of men.

Ayurveda's Holistic Care for Coping with Multiple Sclerosis

According to Ayurveda, a disruption in body energy leads to multiple sclerosis. Various symptoms occur when the fundamental principles or dosha are modified or disrupted. When the balance of the body's systems is disturbed, it can cause digestion problems and the accumulation of toxins in the body. The presence of toxins in the body can block the tiny channels, preventing the smooth flow of energy and resulting in neuromuscular disorders. Without proper treatment, these blockages have the potential to be fatal and cause permanent damage to nerves and tissues.
