Treating Multiple Sclerosis with Ayurveda

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is “a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another,” according to the National MS Society.


There are approximately 400,000 people suffering from MS in the United States, according to the National MS Society. The cause of MS is still unknown, but most researchers think that MS results from an abnormal response by the body's immune system.


The treatment for MS is relatively new (founded only in the 90’s) and includes multiple steroidal injections accompanied by mild to severe side-effects. These steroids only suppress the immune system, however, and so far no permanent cure has been found for this condition.


Traditional Ayurvedic Medicine (TAM), an ancient healing practice originating in India, has successful treatment outcomes for MS that help the patient heal naturally. There are specially formulated treatment options that go beyond treating the symptoms of the disease to restoring balance in the body’s immune response.
