Causes of Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)
The severity of the disease and speed of vision loss varies from person to person, depending on its genetic type. It is one of the most common diseases caused by congenital abnormalities. The parents’ consanguineous marriage is a causative factor for many genetic diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa. The exact causes are not fully understood, and there can be many possibilities to cause congenital abnormalities.
Ayurvedic Treatment for Retinitis Pigmentosa
Retinitis Pigmentosa Treatment in Ayurveda works at two stages. The first stage involves the purificatory therapies that include Virechan, Nasya, Snehpana, Shirodhara, Netradhara, and Tharpana. The second stage consists of rejuvenating Rasayana medicines to maintain the strength of the retina and optic nerves.
The patient needs to undergo both phases of treatment repeatedly at regular intervals. The patient requires a twenty-one-day Panchakarma session once in 6 months or once a year, depending on the patient’s condition. It is a widely accepted Retinitis Pigmentosa treatment in India.
Diet Chart & Lifestyle for Retinitis Pigmentosa Patients
A healthy and balanced lifestyle and Yoga help support the treatment and prevent the speed of degeneration.
Long exposures to mobile & tv screens, bright lights, glaring lights, alcohol, fast food, and smoking are very harmful to human eyes. A patient with RP should avoid using these things.
