AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS: -

Multiple sclerosis is a long-lasting (chronic) disease of the central nervous system. It is thought to be an autoimmune disorder, a condition in which the body attacks itself by mistake. MS is an unpredictable disease that affects people differently. Some people with MS may have only mild symptoms. Others may lose their ability to see clearly, write, speak, or walk when communication between the brain and other parts of the body becomes disrupted.
“Avrutha” is the term for Multiple sclerosis in Ayurveda. According to Ayurveda, Multiple sclerosis can be caused due to accumulation of Pitta and Kapha dosha. Pitta dosha can cause serious damage to myelin membranes that are the main cause of Multiple sclerosis.
