The Charaka Samhitha, an Ayurvedic classic which was written more than 1000 years ago mentions 80 different neurological illnesses called the “Vata vydhi’’. Vata is responsible for all neurological activities in the human body. The symptoms of MS were found in 3 different illnesses that affect the brain. In MS the demyelinisation of nerves is common to all MS patients, but the cause and area of demyelinisation and the respective symptoms of MS vary from patient to patient. So from Ayurvedic perspective MS is more seen as a syndrome than a separate disease entity.
Corresponding to the activities of nervous system or Vata dosha, MS is considered to have multiple causes that relates to the environmental factors, food pattern and living style. MS is an ongoing degenerative process in the nervous system which could have started months or years preceeding its diagnosis.
Method of Treatment
DATMS Is a system that uses a group of therapies aimed at treating the source of the disease where palliation of symptoms happens together. The symptoms that are first to respond to the treatment are sensitivity disturbances, bladder control (in some constitutions), pains, vision disturbances and so on. The prescribed treatment is to be taken consecutively for 3 years. (Exceptions to be considered).
The prescribed time of treatment is between 45 to 60 days (which is to be decided during the time of consultation). During the treatment the patient will undergo different types of therapies with various kinds of herbal preparations according to the physical constitution of the patient, metabolic state, mental state, severity of the disease, symptom, etc. The duration of the treatment for a single day is approximately 210-300 minutes. The primary daily treatment is done for the central nervous system, Shirovasti, where potentiated herbal oil is poured onto the scalp within a leather cap and allowed to remain for 60 to 150 minutes. There are 5-7 other types of therapies that are assisting the main treatment such as Kanjidhara, Thailadhara, and Vasti, (a medicinal herbal enema).
