Parkinson’s disease manifests when the nerve junctions of an individual start to deteriorate. These nerve junctions are called ganglia and are located at the base area of the brain. They act to control the muscles in the body as well as the different movements of the body. Parkinson’s disease is characterized by tremors in the limbs when the muscles are at rest. This disease is known by the name Kampavada in Ayurveda. It is known by other names such as Vepana, Vepathu, Sphurana, etc. They all refer to the exaggerated movement of the limbs as experienced by patients of Parkinson’s disease. Using internally researched medicines and Panchakarma therapy, Leelajani Ayur Care treatment centre in Trivandrum, Kerala provides effective Ayurvedic treatment for Parkinson’s disease helping the patients to control the symptoms of the disease and to stop the further progression of the disease.
