Ayurvedic medicines help Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson's disease has existed in different parts of the world since ancient times, with the first clear description found in the ancient Indian medical system of Ayurveda under the name 'Kampavata'.

Herbal medicines containing anticholinergics, levodopa, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors were traditionally used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease in India, China, and the Amazon basin. However, researchers at the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Clinic, Illinois USA have found that Ayurvedic medicine using Mucuna pruriens and Banisteria caapi may offer help for Parkinson's disease sufferers.

A number of Parkinson's patients have been found to experience improvement in symptoms when using the Ayurvedic prescription.

More scientific tests are now needed to fully understand how the medicines work and the extent to which they can help patients suffering from this chronic and degenerative disease.
