Do you think Ayurveda has no options to help manage Parkinson’s disease? Well, if yes, you have underestimated this 5000 year old medicinal practice in which knowledge is accumulated since civilization began in this part of the world. There are various practices, medicines and meditation techniques recommended for Parkinson’s patients by Ayurvedic practitioners. In today’s blog we will look at the efficacy of one of the most recommended Ayurvedic preparations for the management of Parkinson’s disease. How effective is Varuni Thailam for Parkinson’s patients? Read on to find out!

WHAT IS PARKINSON’S DISEASE?

For General readers, let us first briefly understand what Parkinson’s disease is.

Parkinson’s disease develops as nerve cells, or neurons, in a region of the brain that regulates movement become damaged and die. Normally, these nerves release dopamine, a vital neurotransmitter. As neurons die or become damaged, they contain less dopamine, resulting in Parkinson’s complications. Scientists are also unsure about what causes dopamine-producing cells to die.

 Parkinson’s patients may have a loss of nerve endings that contain norepinephrine, the primary chemical carrier of the sympathetic nervous system, which regulates certain automatic functions of the body, such as heart rate and blood pressure. The lack of norepinephrine can help explain some of Parkinson’s non-movement symptoms, such as exhaustion, erratic blood pressure, reduced movement of food through the digestive tract, and a rapid drop in blood pressure when standing up from a seated or lying-down posture.

While some Parkinson’s cases tend to be inherited, and a few may be linked to certain genetic mutations, the condition appears to strike at random and does not appear to run in families in the majority of cases. Many experts already agree that Parkinson’s disease is caused by a mixture of genetic and environmental causes, such as toxicity exposure.

WHAT IS VARUNI THAILAM?

Varuni Thailam is a medicated ayurvedic oil which is prepared by dissolving extracts from bitter cucumber or colocynth and other rare herbal extracts in sesame oil. It is used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease by Ayurvedic practitioners.

Amongst the six major tastes identified in Ayurveda, bitter is considered the most essential. All tastes, be it sweet, sour or bitter are made up of one or more of the panchabhootas or five basic elements. Ether or Akash element is available only in bitter rasa. Hence bitter is considered the most medicinal taste in ancient ayurvedic texts. Colocynth tastes bitter and hence is called as bitter cucumber or bitter apple. It is light, dry, and easy to digest and also has the potential to enter deep tissues and nourish.

Colocynth balances Kapha and Pitta but the ayurvedically prepared Varuni Thaila balances all Tridosas. This also makes it a highly efficient immunity booster and disease destroyer.

WHAT DOES SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH SAY?

A Study by researchers from Mysuru titled “EVALUATION OF EFFICACY OF VARUNI TAILA (CITRULLUS COLOCYNTHIS SCHARD) IN KAMPAVATA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO PARKINSON’S DISEASE-A COMPARATIVE CLINICAL STUDY” published in the “World Journal for Pharmacy and Pharmceutical Science” has scientifically established Varuni Thailam as an effective medicine for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease when administered along with another drug called “L-Dopa”.

Though future researches can establish a clearer picture, the available studies do suggest that the ancient ayurvedic knowledge of Varuni Thailam can indeed help improve the symptoms in patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease.

HOW TO USE

It is normally recommended to consume 5 to 10 ml of this oil along with food twice a day.

It is best to consult an ayurvedic physician to know get a personalized dosage.

It is advisable to not consume this product without medical consultation. 

For external tremors apply the oil gently over the hands, neck, feet or wherever tremors are felt.

PRECAUTIONS

While applying oil to the feet make sure the oil is washed off with warm water or wiped off with a cloth else you might slip while you walk. 

Varuni Thailam is slippery oil and hence proper care should be taken not to spill the oil on the floor.

It is recommended not to use this oil at the time of Pregnancy without consulting the doctor.

One of the areas where even Ayurvedic physicians concede to their allopathic counter parts is in treatment in management of Diabetes. Especially the management of type 2 diabetes is a challenging task for ayurvedic physicians. This is not completely down to lack of options in Ayurveda to treat diabetes.

 Many ancient ayurvedic texts classify diabetes as Madhumeha and have many solutions. According to a conference paper made available on researchgate titled “Diabetes Mellitus type 2: Focus on Clinical Research in Ayurveda” ancient Indian medical classics like Sushruta Samhita and Charaka Samhita mention diabetes as madhumeha and classify it as astringent and sweet. The study also suggests mention of the disease in the Vedas. 

Many indigenous herbs and fruits are suggested in these ancient texts for treatment and management of diabetes. Some of the diabetes treating ingredients lifted from our ancient texts includes amla, gudduchi, karavellaka, tvak, bimba, turmeric, neem, methi and jambu extracts. Many ayurvedic texts from a later period mention medicines which are mostly formed by a mixture of these herbs and other indigenous plant extracts for treatment of diabetes.

Gayatriyadi Kashayam is a formulation combining such natural ingredients mentioned in these ancient texts for management of madhumeha or diabetes. This ancient formula is prepared by SNA Aushadhashala as described in the ancient ayurvedic text “Ashtangahrudhayam”.

FOR REDUCING BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS

The herbs and naturally occurring minerals used for the preparation of this tonic reduce blood sugar levels. It improves metabolism and helps in the quick digestion of carbohydrates and sugars. Gayatriyadi Kashayam also might help improve pancreas functionality. This ayurvedic medicine might help improve the ability of pancreas to produce insulin. The weakening of the pancreas and its inability to produce insulin, a component which helps in dissolving excess sugars in the blood is the cause of diabetes. This natural herbal elixir is designed to cure this inability. 

SNA Aushadhashala’s Gayatriadi Kashayam also helps in improving other bodily complications which occur due to diabetes.

FREE FROM ANY SIDE EFFECTS

The biggest drawback of most allopathic drugs recommended for diabetes is that they show adverse side effects when used continuously for a long period of time. The number of people who get comorbidities because of not regulating diabetes and the number of people who develop comorbidities like kidney stone and liver diseases for consuming diabetes drugs for a long period of time are almost identical. This is largely due to the action specific chemicals and components present in diabetic medicines. Ayurvedic medicines like Gayatriadi Kashayam are made from pure herbs and naturally occurring minerals making them relatively free from adverse side effects while providing similar efficacy.

SCIENTIFIC STUDY

According to a paper made available on Researchgate titled “Diabetes Mellitus type 2: Focus on Clinical Research in Ayurveda”, the efficacy of Ayurvedic diabetes management system is on par with allopathic system and also with a combination of Ayurveda and Allopathy. This clinical study was performed on 30 samples in each category and the efficacy of all three types of treatment gave similar results. The same study recommends Gayatriadi Kashayam as one the recommended ayurvedic medicine for treatment of diabetes.

TO HELP MAINTAIN WEIGHT

One of the functions of Gayatriadi Kashayam is to help improve digestion. This is primarily aimed at digesting blood sugars. Poor digestive health means many diabetic patients tend to gain weight. Gayatriadi Kashyam increases the jataragni or digestive fire and thus helps in digestion and metabolism which in turn helps maintain a healthy weight.

HOW TO USE

Gayatriadi Kashayam is an action specific ayurvedic medicine. Hence it is best to consume this medicine only under medical supervision.

Normally 5ml to 10ml is recommended three times a day. Consult an Ayurvedic doctor to know your personalized dose with respect to your dosha karmas and gunas.
