Ayurvedic treatment for Myasthenia Gravis
Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune disorder that weakens the muscles of the human body and leaves the patient in the crippling situation. Double vision, difficulty in speaking and swallowing, and drooping eyelids are the prime symptoms of the disease. Vedic Healthcare is a holistic retreat for such patients. Here, manned Ayurvedic experts offer reliable Keraleeya Chikitsa along with Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapy to restore the imbalance of bi-doshas (Vata and Kapha dosha). The treatment aims at improving muscle strength and stimulating the nervous system. Moreover, it ensures an improved quality of life post-treatment.
Myasthenia Gravis occurs due to the communication breakdown between the brain’s nerves and muscles. This impacts the patient’s voluntary control over muscles. He may experience weakness in his arms and leg muscles, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty in breathing, chewing, and swallowing, and double vision. Unfortunately, modern medical science is not sure about the disease’s real cause. At Vaidya Healthcare, we provide best and effective Myasthenia Gravis Treatment Kerala. We specialize in making diagnoses of major diseases.
Unlike other medical sciences that treat symptoms, Ayurvedic treatment believes in curing the disease from its root cause. The treatment of Myasthenia Gravis is possible in Ayurveda because the root cause has been found.
Ayurvedic approach to Myasthenia Gravis
According to ancient Ayurvedic texts, the cause of Myasthenia Gravis disease is the vitiation of bi-dosh (Vata and Kapha) in the affected muscles. Furthermore, the metabolic fire of the abdomen i.e.Agni is also extinguished which leads to the accumulation of toxins or ama and aggravation of bi-dosh with the Pitta dosha in the body. So, the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis is based on stimulating fire or Agni in the abdomen.
Components of treatment
Panchkarma therapy
For Myasthenia Gravis disease reversal, Ayurvedic practitioners give Panchakarma therapy to the patients. This therapy is given to cleanse the accumulated toxins and stimulate the Agni. In his way, the aggravation of Pitta dosh along with the Vata dosha and Kapha dosha is tried to be controlled.
Rasayana
Rasayanas in Ayurveda hold a significant place as they are found to be effective in giving a new life to the patients. Ayurvedic practitioners give Rasayanas like Ashwagandha and Brahmi to stimulate the fire (Agni) and to alleviate the symptoms of MG.
Herbal drugs
Herbal drugs like Mansarohini are also prescribed to the patient to stimulate his metabolism and restore the balance of three doshas.
Yoga and Pranayama
Yoga and Pranayam aid in reducing stress and strengthening the brain’s nerves. They are considered effective in lessening the symptoms of MG.

FAQ
What are the common symptoms of myasthenia gravis?
You know, it’s one of those conditions where things might feel “off” before you even realize what’s happening. Maybe your eyelids start drooping after a long day, or carrying groceries feels way harder than it should. Swallowing or speaking might feel clunky, like your muscles just won’t cooperate. These things can come and go, which makes them easy to dismiss—until they don’t go away.
How does Ayurveda approach the treatment of autoimmune disorders like myasthenia gravis?
Ayurveda sees the body as a whole system, not just isolated symptoms. For myasthenia gravis, it’s about calming the immune response while strengthening the nerves and muscles. Therapies like Panchakarma help detoxify, and herbs such as Ashwagandha and Shatavari rebuild your body’s strength. It’s less about treating a diagnosis and more about helping you feel like yourself again.
What dietary and lifestyle changes does Ayurveda suggest for managing myasthenia gravis?
Think simple, soothing meals. Warm soups, rice with a touch of ghee, or lightly spiced lentils can be easier on digestion. Stress plays a big role, too, so practices like yoga or even just taking a few minutes for deep breathing can help. It’s not about drastic changes—it’s about giving your body the calm it craves.
Are there specific herbs in Ayurveda known to support neuromuscular health?
Definitely. Ashwagandha is a favorite—it helps with both energy and strength. Brahmi is another, known for keeping the nerves calm and steady. And then there’s Kapikachhu, which is often used to support coordination and movement. These herbs work best when tailored to your specific needs.
How does Panchakarma therapy help in managing myasthenia gravis?
Think of Panchakarma as a reset. Treatments like Abhyanga—a warm oil massage—don’t just relax you; they improve circulation and ease muscle tension. Shirodhara, where warm oil gently flows onto your forehead, has a way of calming the whole nervous system. It’s not just a treatment—it’s a chance to feel lighter and more balanced.
