“The principles and treatment methods of Ayurveda, together with conventional methods in primary Parkinson’s disease, bring sustained stability. Patients become stable in their gait and other movements”, says Dr Sandra Szymanski, chief neurologist and HOD for Neurology and Complementary Medicine at Evangelical Hospital, Hattingen, Germany.

A 67-year-old patient at the Evangelical Hospital followed an Ayurvedic treatment and diet regime for five years, at the facility and at home. The result: She did not need high doses of dopamine, which is normally needed in such cases to activate neurotransmitters that guide our mobility. Her gait was more steady, and she had better control of her limbs.

Dr Nair has studied the benefits of Nasya and Ayurvedic daily and seasonal regimes in relation to integrative neurology, especially on non-motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. He has also explored the function of the Ayurvedic concept of the different Agnis in the pathology of neurodegenerative ailments such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s illnesses.

Ayurveda has already shown clinical benefits as a complementary modality, and future studies are expected to further validate Ayurveda’s contribution to managing Parkinson’s Disease and related neurodegenerative ailments.
