Abstract of the presentation
Treatment of Neurological Diseases from the Perspective of Ayurveda
Branch: Ayurveda
Ayurveda is a holistic science, or system of medicine which has addressed neurological problems since its origin. There are more than 600 known neurological disorders, and up to 6% of the world population suffers from these conditions. Neurological disorders are classified under the umbrella of Vata Vyadhi in Ayurveda. Although there are different types of Vata Vyadhi, the current mainline treatments for managing these diseases are aimed at symptom management, as there is currently no known cure or treatment that can slow down the progress of the disease.
Ayurveda’s perspective and line of treatment differ significantly from conventional therapies and have shown promising results in the treatment and control of the progress of the disease. In this paper, we will discuss the Ayurvedic perspective, diagnosis, medicines, different modes of treatment, and food as medicine to prevent the progression of the disease. Also, we will shed light on the Ayurvedic constitution (Prakruti) of the body and its application in diagnosing the type of neurological disease and its treatment.
