Ayurvedic Treatment for Parkinson: Restoring Balance and Mobility
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder affecting movement, coordination, and balance. It occurs due to the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain, leading to reduced dopamine levels. Symptoms include tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and postural instability. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to managing Parkinson’s by focusing on rejuvenating the nervous system, balancing doshas, and addressing the root causes. At Ayur Khyati, we provide personalized Ayurvedic treatments to enhance mobility, improve quality of life, and slow disease progression naturally.

In Ayurveda, Parkinson’s disease can be correlated with Kampa Vata, which refers to a Vata Dosha imbalance causing tremors and neurological dysfunction.
Ayurvedic Perspective on Parkinson’s:
- Vata Imbalance: Leads to dryness, rigidity, and tremors.
- Dhatukshaya (Tissue Degeneration): Weakens the nervous system and muscles.
- Ama (Toxins): Accumulated toxins disrupt energy flow and worsen symptoms.
Ayurvedic treatments aim to balance Vata, detoxify the body, and rejuvenate the nervous system for improved functionality.
