MUSCULAR SCLEROSIS
Muscular Sclerosis or Multiple Sclerosis is an auto immune disease, where the central nervous system (the brain, spinal cord, and nerves) are attacked by the body’s own immune system. This disease mainly attacks and breaks down the Myelin Sheath. The Myelin Sheath is a fatty protein cover that surrounds the nerve fibers. When this protective covering is broken down there is abnormal activity within the nerves. This causes a loss in control of muscles, balance, and coordination.

According to Ayurveda theory, the functioning mode in the body called Vata controls the overall level of balance nervous system. MS is a classic Vata imbalance from this perspective. Vata imbalance is responsible for many conditions and symptoms.
Another disease that can have such a widespread effect on the body... thanks for including!
