Ayurveda management of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) with Rasayana – A Case series.

This case series of Duchenne muscular dystrophy—a genetic condition that causes gradual muscle weakness—are examined. Karma karshaya (loss of strength) and beeja dushti (genetic deficiency) were identified as the underlying diseases by Ayurvedic diagnostics. In order to manage symptoms and enhance quality of life, treatment plans included supportive care with Ayurvedic Rasayana therapies and sneha basti chikitsa. Over the course of a year, monitoring of biochemical markers like CPK and CPK total along with clinical evaluations and lakshanas revealed notable gains in muscular strength and functional ability. These results highlight the promise of Ayurvedic methods, which emphasize holistic treatment and symptomatic relief, in treating chronic hereditary disorders such as muscular dystrophy.
