Natural Supplements for CMT (Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease)

Neuropathies are quite common in people and as is the variety of neuropathic problems so are there numerous reasons for their occurrence.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease is a syndrome which includes numerous genetically driven neuropathic problems which are mostly a result of developmental problems of the nerves in the person concerned.

The name of the disease is derived from the names of the four scientists who have contributed to the discovery and identification of this disease (Jean Martin Charcot, Pierre Marie, Howard Henry Tooth and Hoffman). Other name given to this condition is Peroneal muscular atrophy.

It is sometimes also classified as a subtype of Muscular dystrophy.

As many as 80 genes affect the nerves and nerve fibres in various ways causing numerous types of disease in a large number of populations. It is a very common and infact, number one cause of inherited neuropathies in the world.

As per modern medicine, the cause and treatment of the disease are still not very clear but being a very common neuropathic problem it is a constant cause of concern and disability among the affected people.

COMMON SYMPTOMS

  1. Symptoms may occur as early as in childhood in some to as late as in the forties in others; the onset in this way is very inconspicuous.
  2. Initial symptoms of the disease include, foot drop, and hammer toes, numbness and weakness of the muscle tissues of the lower body parts.
  3. Slowly progressive weakness in the hands and limbs.
  4. Loss of sensation in various parts of the extremities like the fingers, toes, hands and wrists etc.
  5. Highly arched or extremely flat foot is a characteristic feature of this disease.
  6. Other symptoms are usually quite varied and occur as breathing difficulty in some to scoliosis, tremors and gastro – intestinal problems in others.
  7. Pain in some or the other form is regularly associated with the disease.

CAUSES

It is usually caused by defective formation of proteins that form the myelin sheath of the nerves and axon fibres of nerve cells. These are two primary mutations which affect the formation of these two nerve cell structures. As a result, there is faulty transmission of information by the nerve cells of the affected body part which manifests in the form of various signs and symptoms that the patient exhibits.

AYURVEDIC POINT OF VIEW

Ayurveda has a different approach while dealing with neuromuscular problems and inherited disorders. According to Ayurveda, problems related to the nerves and the nervous system are a result of faulty vata body energy in the body. It is said that balanced vata body energy is responsible for the normal functioning of nervous sytem and all its associated structures in the body.

As for the inheritance part, such disease is classified as "Beej doshaj vyadhi" which affect the individual by birth due to faulty "Beej" or ovum (having inherent genetic mutation) which forms the rest of the progeny.

The line of treatment in such cases focuses on balancing dosha energies and relieving pain and disability.

There are many ayurvedic remedies which can help patients of this disease by relieving and managing the symptoms and improving the quality of life of such patients.
