Neurological Disorders

Neurological disorders are diseases that affect the brain, spine, and the network of nerves connecting them. These conditions can impact movement, cognition, and overall function.

Here are some common neurological disorders:

• Alzheimer's Disease: A progressive neurodegenerative disorder leading to memory loss, confusion, and behavioral changes. It is the most common cause of dementia in older adults.
• Parkinson's Disease: A nervous system disorder that affects movement, causing tremors, stiffness, and slowed motion.
• Epilepsy: A condition marked by recurrent, unprovoked seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS): An autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) covering nerve fibers, disrupting communication between the brain and body.
• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): A progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and loss of control.
• Stroke: Occurs when blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, leading to oxygen deprivation and potential brain cell death.
• Migraines: Severe headaches characterized by throbbing pain, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.
• Peripheral Neuropathy: A disorder caused by nerve damage, leading to numbness, weakness, and pain, especially in the hands and feet.

Symptoms of neurological disorders can vary significantly. Some individuals experience emotional symptoms such as depression or delusions, while others may have physical symptoms affecting mobility and coordination. Ayurveda offers holistic and effective treatments for managing neurological disorders through natural therapies, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications.
