Muscular Dystrophy

 Muscular Dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. Ayurveda views this as a condition of Mamsa Dhatu Kshaya (muscle tissue depletion) often linked with aggravated Vata dosha. The treatment focuses on strengthening muscle and nerve function through rejuvenation (Rasayana) therapies, Panchakarma and procedures like Abhyanga (therapeutic massage), Pizhichil (oil bathing), and Shastika Shali Pinda Sweda (medicated rice bolus therapy). Herbal medicines that nourish and repair tissues are administered along with a nutrient-rich, dosha-balancing diet. Yoga and specific physical therapies complement the treatment to maintain flexibility and delay disease progression.
