Introduction
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system. In Ayurveda, Parkinson’s disease is known as
Kampavata. This serious neurological disease affects 1% of the population over the age of 65 and is the fourth most common degenerative disorder found in elderly people. It often begins as a mild tremor in the hands, which is barely noticeable. In the early stages of Parkinson’s disease, the face may lack expression, and arm movement while walking may be reduced. Because this condition is more common in industrialized countries, there is speculation that environmental toxins may contribute to its occurrence.
Signs and Symptoms
There are various signs and symptoms helpful for the proper diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. The most common and recognizable symptom is
“Pill Rolling Tremor” – where the thumb and fingers move uncontrollably, resembling the rolling of a pill between the fingers. Other symptoms include:
- Tremors – Mostly found in the hands, fingers, arms, and legs. Patients may be unable to move fingers for a fraction of a second (Micrographia), which makes daily tasks like buttoning a shirt difficult.
- Rigidity – Movement becomes slow and very difficult. There is stiffness in the arms and difficulty coordinating movement, leading to frustration.
- Impaired Posture and Balance – The posture may become stooped, and balance problems may arise.
- Changes in Speech – The voice becomes less audible, and facial expressions may become limited.
- Writing Difficulties – Writing becomes small and difficult to execute.
Ayurveda Etiology and Pathology
According to Ayurveda, aging is a natural process, and as we age,
Apana Vayu accumulates and may become aggravated. This is why elderly people often suffer from constipation. When
Apana Vayu combines with
Vata, it overflows into circulation and disturbs
Vyana Vayu within
Rasa Dhatu. This causes dryness in the mucous membranes, which is a sign of excessive
Vata in circulation.If there is a pre-existing weakness in the brain tissue,
Vata relocates to this weak area, damaging brain cells. This is how
Vata in the
Majja Dhatu leads to Parkinson’s disease.
“According to Ayurveda, Parkinson’s Disease develops due to the accumulation of Vata Dosha in the nerves in the brain.”
Aggravated
Vata Dosha can dry up the nerves, leading to adverse effects on brain function.
Ayurveda and Parkinson’s Disease
Ayurvedic treatment for Parkinson’s disease focuses on balancing
Vata Dosha:
Ayurvedic Remedies
- Apana Vayu Disturbance – Treated using laxatives such as psyllium, flaxseed, or traditional herbal formulas.
- Vyana Vayu Disturbance – Treated using demulcents like slippery elm or licorice.
- Prana Vayu Disturbance – Treated using Ashwagandha and other herbal formulations.
These Ayurvedic remedies strengthen the
dhatus (tissues) in the body. However, for proper guidance and a complete cure, consulting an expert Ayurvedic practitioner is essential.
Medical Astrology and Parkinson’s Disease
In astrology, planets influence the onset of diseases and health conditions. However, not all planets bring harm; their placement in the horoscope determines their effects.
Key Astrological Factors for Parkinson’s Disease
- Afflicted Planets – If malefic planets are placed in benefic houses, they can cause neurological disorders.
- Ill Placement of Planets in Ascendant – This can contribute to health conditions.
- 6th and 8th Houses – These houses are analyzed to understand the onset of diseases.
If you want to prevent medical conditions before they occur, consulting a
Medical Astrologer is beneficial.
