Patients may present with symptoms like fainting, paralysis, or abnormal movements triggered by emotional factors.
VERTIGO
Vertigo is a condition characterized by a spinning sensation or dizziness, where a person feels as if they or their surroundings are moving even when still.
DYSTONIA
Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions, leading to twisting movements, abnormal postures, or repetitive spasms.
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia is a severe neurological condition characterized by sudden, intense, electric shock-like pain along the distribution of the trigeminal nerve, which supplies sensation to the face.
Symptoms:
- Sudden, severe, stabbing or electric shock-like facial pain
- Episodes lasting from a few seconds to minutes
- Pain typically on one side of the face
- Recurrent attacks with pain-free intervals
- Increased sensitivity in facial areas
According to Ayurveda, trigeminal neuralgia can be correlated with conditions like Anantavata or Ardhavabhedaka, primarily caused by aggravated Vata Dosha affecting the nerves. This leads to intense, shooting pain and hypersensitivity in the facial region.
Treatment focuses on pacifying Vata, relieving nerve irritation, and reducing pain-Snehana (oleation therapy)- Application of medicated oils to nourish nerves,Swedana (fomentation)-Helps reduce stiffness and improve circulation,Nasya (nasal therapy)-Delivers medication to head and nerve pathways,Shirodhara-Calms the nervous system and reduces stress
