J._M Goud_2023, title={Ayurvedic management of Parkinson’s disease - A Case Study}, volume={8}, url={https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2175}, abstractNote={<p>Parkinson’s disease is defined as Chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by both motor and non-motor features. The most important signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease occur when the nerve cells in basal ganglia, an area of brain that controls the movement become impaired or die. When these neurons die or get impaired, they tend to produce less amount of important chemical in the brain called as Dopamine which causes various symptoms like Tremors, Rigidity in muscles, Akinesia and postural disability associated with various Cognitive, Behavioural and other Psychological symptoms. In <em>Ayurveda </em>presentations of this disease can be corelated with the <em>Kampavata</em> in which both <em>Sarvanga Kampa</em> and <em>Shiro Kampa</em> are important <em>Lakshanas</em> that are seen. The <em>Vata </em>that is responsible for controlling the various functions of the body is responsible for causing the disease <em>Kampavata</em> and hence <em>Kampavata</em> is also mentioned in 80 types of <em>Nanatmaja Vikaras</em>. The <em>Chala Guna</em> of the <em>Vata </em>is pathologically increased leading to the <em>Kampa</em>. Treatment mainly aims at reversing the imbalance of <em>Vata Dushti</em> through various <em>Shamana</em> and <em>Shodhana Chikitsa</em>, Here a case of 58 year old female presenting with the symptoms of Severe Tremors, Postural instability and difficulty in performing daily activities who was provisionally diagnosed as <em>Kampavata</em> was successfully treated with <em>Snehana </em>and <em>Brihmana</em> line of management in the form of <em>Sarvanga Abhyanga, Shali Pinda Swedana </em>and <em>Rajayapana Basti.</em></p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences}, author={Suraksha S and S.
