Myasthenia Gravis Healer Kit
Description -
Myasthenia Gravis (my-uh-sti-nee-uh eye-virus) is a disorder that affects communication between the nerve and muscle. More specifically, it involves defects in the part of the nervous system that sends messages from your brain to your muscles telling them when to work. As a result, muscles fatigue easily and often weaken, leading to reduced physical function.
Ayurvedic concept
Ayurveda states that Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is caused by impairment of the Agni fire in the body which leads to accumulation of ama, or toxins. Suppression of the Agni further results in aggravation of Pitta dosha along with Vata and Kapha doshas. The management is focused on pacifying the vata vitiation and improve muscle strength. Internal medications along with snehana (internal and external), swedana (sudation therapy- eg: kizhi, pizhichil, steam bath), Nasya (nasal instillation of medicine), virechana (purgation therapy), vasthi (enema with suitable medicine), lepana (external application of oil or pasted drugs), etc are provided. It is followed by Rasayana therapy (boosting immunity and providing nourishment to the tissues).
