My mother has been diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease (MND); what Ayurvedic medicines can help manage her condition?
I am sorry to hear about your mother's diagnosis. In Ayurveda, Motor Neuron Disease (MND) is managed as a Vata-dominated disorder. While there is no cure, complementary Ayurvedic therapies can help manage symptoms and support her quality of life. Key neuroprotective herbs like Ashwagandha (for muscle strength), Brahmi (for nervous system health), and Kapikacchu are commonly used. Additionally, physical therapies like Abhyanga (oil massage) and Shastika Shali Pinda Sweda (poultice therapy) can help reduce muscle stiffness and wasting. Please consult her neurologist and a certified Ayurvedic doctor to design a safe, integrated treatment plan tailored to her needs.
