Parkinson’s Disease :Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by nerves.

  • Symptoms start slowly , most of the times slow paced progressive disease.
  • Tremors are the first symptoms noted.

Causes of Parkinson’s disease :

  •  The most prominent signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease occur when nerve cells in the basal ganglia, an area of the brain that controls movement, become impaired and/or die.
  • Normally, these nerve cells, or neurons, produce an important brain chemical known as dopamine. When the neurons die or become impaired, they produce less dopamine, which causes the movement problems associated with the disease. 
  • Genetic : Single genetic mutation in the LRRK2 gene is the greatest genetic cause of Parkinson Disease.
  • History of any previous injury to head can trigger Parkinson’s Disease.

Signs and Symptoms :

Early symptoms are mild and usually goes unnoticed .Symptoms often begin on one side of the body and worsens overtime.

1. Tremors

2. Slowed movements / bradykinesia

3. Muscle Rigidity

4. Loss of automatic movements 

5. Speech changes 

6. Writing changes

HOW HOMOEOPATHYLOOKS AT PARKINSONISM ?

  • As per conventional science Parkinson’s disease is incurable and the medicines help in maintaining the patient by artificial use of chemical agents of dopamine in body thus controlling the slow progression only to some extent.
  • The cause or conflict related to Parkinson’s  disease is the feeling of being stuck , unable to escape . Movements blocked in simple terms.
  • There is muscle wasting and scientifically patient is although being told in such conditions that the resultant to this is going to result in putting the patient on wheel chair ,here the patient experience stuck up feeling and further deteriorating the condition.
  • Homoeopathy will focus on the constitutional aspect of the person as explained above , treating the person as a whole .

CASE OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE TREATED WITH HOMOEOPATHY

  •  A male aged 58 years had initial complaints of mild tremors got neurological examination done stating the initial phase of Parkinson’s disease.
  • Complained of mild tremors 10yrs back starting over his face which went unnoticed.
  • Patient came to clinic with Arm muscle rigidity /tightness and pain .
  • He appeared absent minded .
  • Difficulty in focusing and fine motor movements loss.
  • He was given  Homoeopathy with conventional medicine for initial 4 months of treatment.
  • Follow up after 4 months showed his Muscle rigidity had improved and he had no difficulty in picking up things ,with pain on and off.·      Hence conventional drugs were taperedoff in 8 months to see further results.·
  • Patient had numbness in extremities post tapering off conventional drugs and muscular pains with no stiffness like before.
  • We continued his treatment for another 1 year with regular follow ups , patient was much better , his concentration improved and muscle rigidity had not been anymore. 
  • This case shows how Homoeopathy could recover the patient even on tapering conventional medicines.

Thank You.
