Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's Disease is a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves. Symptoms start slowly. The first symptom may be a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are common, but the disorder may also cause stiffness or slowing of movement.

In the early stages of Parkinson's disease, your face may show little or no expression. Your arms may not swing when you walk. Your speech may become soft or slurred. Parkinson's disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time.

Although Parkinson's Disease can't be cured, medications might significantly improve your symptoms. Occasionally, your health care provider may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms.

Parkinson's Disease Causes

In Parkinson's Disease, certain nerve cells (neurons) in the brain gradually break down or die. Many of the symptoms are due to a loss of neurons that produce a chemical messenger in your brain called dopamine. When dopamine levels decrease, it causes atypical brain activity, leading to impaired movement and other symptoms of Parkinson's Disease.

The cause of Parkinson's Disease is unknown, but several factors appear to play a role, including:

Genes: Researchers have identified specific genetic changes that can cause Parkinson's disease. But these are uncommon except in rare cases with many family members affected by Parkinson's disease.
Environmental Triggers: Exposure to certain toxins or environmental factors may increase the risk of later Parkinson's disease, but the risk is small.

Researchers have also noted that many changes occur in the brains of people with Parkinson's disease, although it's not clear why these changes occur. These changes include:

The presence of Lewy bodies: Clumps of specific substances within brain cells are microscopic markers of Parkinson's disease.
Alpha-synuclein found within Lewy bodies: Although many substances are found within Lewy bodies, scientists believe an important one is the natural and widespread protein called alpha-synuclein (a-synuclein).

Types of Parkinson's Disease

Idiopathic Parkinson's

Most people with parkinsonism have idiopathic Parkinson's, also known as Parkinson's. Idiopathic means the cause is unknown.

Vascular Parkinsonism

Vascular parkinsonism (also known as arteriosclerotic parkinsonism) affects people with restricted blood supply to the brain.

Supplement-induced parkinsonism

Some Supplements can cause parkinsonism. Supplement-induced parkinsonism only affects a small number of people, and most will recover within months...

Multiple system atrophy (MSA)

Like Parkinson's, MSA can cause stiffness and slowness of movement in the early stages.

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)

PSP affects eye movement, balance, mobility, speech and swallowing. It's sometimes called Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome.

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Normal pressure hydrocephalus mainly affects the lower half of the body. The common symptoms are walking difficulties, urinary incontinence and memory problems.

Various Tremors, including essential tremor

While these are not parkinsonian disorders, you may be diagnosed with one of these conditions if tremor is your only symptom.

Rarer Causes of Parkinsonism

There are several other, much rarer, possible causes of Parkinsonism. These include rare conditions like Wilson's disease, an inherited disorder where there's too much copper in your body's skin and muscles.

Parkinson's Disease Signs and Symptoms

Parkinson's Disease signs and symptoms can be different for everyone. Early signs may be mild and go unnoticed. Symptoms often begin on one side of the body and usually remain worse on that side, even after symptoms begin to affect the limbs on both sides.

Parkinson's signs and symptoms may include:

Tremor
Slowed movement (bradykinesia)
Rigid muscles
Impaired posture and balance
Loss of automatic movements
Speech changes
Writing changes

Parkinson's Disease Diagnosis

There isn't a specific test to diagnose Parkinson's disease. A doctor trained in nervous system conditions (neurologist) will diagnose Parkinson's disease based on your medical history, a review of your signs and symptoms, and a neurological and physical examination.

Your doctor may suggest a specific single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scan called a dopamine transporter (DAT) scan. Although this can help support the suspicion that you have Parkinson's disease, it is your symptoms and neurological examination that ultimately determine the correct diagnosis. Most people do not require a DAT scan.

Your health care provider may order lab tests, such as blood tests, to rule out other conditions that may be causing your symptoms.

Imaging tests — such as an MRI, ultrasound of the brain and PET scans — also may be used to help rule out other disorders. Imaging tests aren't particularly helpful for diagnosing Parkinson's disease.

Sometimes it takes time to diagnose Parkinson's disease. Health care providers may recommend regular follow-up appointments with neurologists trained in movement disorders to evaluate your condition and symptoms over time and diagnose Parkinson's Disease.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Parkinson's Disease

Ayurvedic Treatment

Before explaining the details of Ayurvedic treatment, you need to know that kampavata is a vatavyadhi condition (diseases caused by spread of vitiated Vata dosha throughout the mind-body). Vatavyadhi diseases are divided into two types i.e. Dhatukshayajanya and Margavrodhjanya. Dhatukshayajanya diseases are caused by the destruction or loss of vital tissues; Margavrodhjanya diseases are caused by blockages to the proper flow of energies and nutrients through their channels. The treatment of these two types of disease is very different. One reason that kampavata is classified as a very difficult disease to cure because it can involve both of these underlying pathologies.

The precise treatment of the patient with kampavata will depend on the physicians understanding of which type of vatavyadhi is present, the patients unique prakriti, vikriti, lakshanas, samprapti, satmya, and several other factors. Here, I can outline the general principles that I have found effective for many of my patients.

Patient's Testimonials

Sach Dev Singh

I never believed in Sriaas Ayurveda and consistently underestimated its effectiveness. Unfortunately, I was given the grave neurological condition Parkinson's disease as a diagnosis. When I was forced to receive Ayurvedic treatment for this issue, it significantly altered my perspective on the practice. Within a year, my health had improved thanks to a healthy diet and herbs. I personally would advise everyone who is experiencing this issue to consider Ayurveda.

Dilip Yadav

My life was spared by Dr. Puru because I had Parkinson's disease, a serious neurological condition that had a significant negative impact on my health. I struggled to do simple tasks like writing, obtaining a cup of tea, and easily slicing fruit with a knife. It was embarrassing for me that I was having problems walking regularly. Then I learned about Dr. Puru, who became my guardian angel. I adopted numerous medicinal courses but found that Ayurveda gave me the best results. I advise all of my brothers who are experiencing neurological problems of any kind to seek Ayurvedic treatment.

Satbir Malik

When I was afflicted with Parkinson's disease. I had the good fortune to meet Dr. Puru. Parkinson's disease is a significant neurological ailment that causes muscle rigidity, difficulty speaking, poor posture, and difficulty in writing. Parkinson's disease damages your nerve system. Then I learned about Dr. Puru, a brilliant neurological specialist who has treated more than 120,000 people with various brain problems. The procedure took a few months, and the Ayurveda drugs were equally helpful to my health. I'm grateful. For saving my life, Dr. Puru!

Mahesh Singh

Many view mental illness as taboo and shameful. Despite the fact that it's a serious issue that calls for intensive attention and treatment, some are embarrassed to discuss it with their loved ones. I was given the diagnosis with Parkinson's disease, a nervous system disorder that impairs mobility. I experienced a variety of physical issues, including slurred or hesitant speech, writing difficulties, poor body posture, and muscle tightness. Finally, I experienced success with Ayurvedic treatments. I feel good and am powerful right now. I appreciate the direction and assistance from Dr. Puru and his entire staff.
