Everything About Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is a degenerative disease that causes gradual loss of vision. Macular degeneration treatment in Ayurveda focuses on managing its symptoms and arresting its progress through Panchakarma therapies, diet control, and some fundamental lifestyle changes. It is one of the most sought-after macular degeneration treatment in India.  

What Is Macular Degeneration?

Macular degeneration or Stargardt's disease is an eye disorder that results from the damage caused to the photoreceptor cells in the macula. People with macular degeneration don't turn blind generally but may feel a gradual loss of vision and face problems while reading, driving, recognizing faces, and many other daily activities. Stargardt's disease starts showing its effect around 10-20 years of age.

The Benefits of Ayurveda for Macular Degeneration treatment at Prakash Nethralaya

Investigates The Root Cause

The Ayurvedic approach to illness looks for the fundamental causes of the disease rather than symptoms. The main causative factor of the disease is removed from the patient's daily routine. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment is decided from the available two directions as per the classics. First one is Shodhan (detoxification) to clean the body with the help of Panchakarma therapies and the another is Shaman (balancing the doshas) by using Ayurveda medicines, diet correction and lifestyle adjustments. Detoxification with Panchakarma improves the efficacy of Ayurveda medicines in chronic and advanced cases.

Medicines Are Safe To Take

Ayurveda medications are not manufactured in a synthetic or chemical form but in their natural state. Because of this, the herbs are gentle on the body, and there is no chance of side effect or adverse reactions, regardless of the length of time the patient takes them. At Prakash Nethralaya, we use the best quality Ayurveda medicines to ensure the safest and fastest recovery. There is in house processing and dispensing of the medicines for our patients.

Uses Holistic Strategy

Ayurveda is based on the idea that each person has a distinct personality and body type and, as a result, their treatment. Ayurveda places more emphasis on treating the patient rather than treating the ailment. The physical composition of two different people with the same ailment may need a different therapeutic approach. An Ayurveda expert at Prakash Nethralaya uses this body type analysis and then reaches at a conclusion of diagnosis and the line of treatment. Accordingly our doctors prescribe the diet, lifestyle changes, yoga, Ayurveda medicines, and Panchakarma therapies.
