Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's Disease from the point of view of Ayurveda
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder. Smooth and coordinated bodily muscle movements are made possible by dopamine- a substance in the brain. In Parkinson’s, the cells of the substantia nigra start to die. When this happens, dopamine levels are reduced. When they have dropped 60 to 80 percent, symptoms of Parkinson’s start to appear. Parkinson’s disease symptoms include muscle rigidity, tremors, and changes in speech and gait. According to researches men are one and a half times more likely to develop Parkinson’s than women. Parkinson’s usually appears between ages 50 and 60 years. This is one of the most common extra-pyramidal crippling disease affecting the older adults.
