Physical instability, tremors and muscle stiffness are devitalized symptoms of Parkinson's disease is often difficult to bear. While the symptoms are physically own illness caused insufficient production of dopamine and degeneration of brain tissue. With cases of Parkinson's disease on the rise, most researchers have felt a greater need to find new methods and treatment options for patients.
Most research in Parkinson oxidative stress plays an important role in the development of the disease. Antioxidants are reducing the incidence of oxidative stress (free radical) acts helpful to blood vessels, cells, and tissues of the brain. Most herbs and plants are of various antioxidants, many of which addressed the subject of numerous nutritional studies toward the development of innovative new treatments for chronic diseases.
A tropical plant, which attracted a lot of attention has recently is pruriens. Ayurvedic traditions have this legume used to treat a variety of diseases, including Parkinson's disease. Recent research has focused on its protective effects due to its high antioxidant properties, and studies have shown it can be natural stages L. dopa, a precursor of dopamine included. The results of Parkinson's disease to the dramatic decrease in the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that many health experts encourage their application potential therapies for Parkinson's disease.
Pruriens and treatment of Parkinson's disease Pruriens: History
Although the study of M. pruriens has spread further in scientific circles recently, has announced its commitment to support the treatment of Parkinson's disease for centuries. Historical texts record methodical treatment of Parkinson's disease as early as 300 BC, usually around the use of Mucuna pruriens seed powder. Current research can make their claims of ancient healing with studies that validate still contained 4-6% of L. dopa in the plant. [1] Complementary therapies in India, China and the Amazon for Parkinson's disease and herbal preparations treatments, massage and acupuncture. [2]
Conventional treatments
The most common treatment for Parkinson's disease, the administration of a synthetic version of levodopa. This processing method was developed to increase the amount of dopamine in the brain and combating the effects of the disease. As with many drugs, including synthetic versions of natural compounds, a number of side effects that may arise from chronic use. Dizziness when standing, low blood pressure, nausea, vomiting and uncontrollable muscle movements [3], are just some of the side effects of medications accredited identified.
Modern science has moved a little of the ancient wisdom of healing, many plants, including due pruriens. However, a number of studies to confirm the undeniable advantage of the factory for Parkinson's disease, health experts are starting to take notice. Research M. pruriens and nature levodopa continued positive results for Parkinson's patients produce.
Could Mucuna Check best therapy?
The involuntary muscle movements or dyskinesia induced by drugs is a common side effect of synthetic levodopa. Consideration of muscle control problems is an early symptom of Parkinson's disease, regular treatment protocol This problem is extremely undesirable. Consequently, the potential for disease treatments are consistently tested in an attempt to reduce the worsening of symptoms in patients.
In animal models, better than the L-dopa M. pruriens synthetic levodopa. [4] In comparison to synthetic levodopa treatment, Mucuna produces a unique interaction in the brain that may protect against treatment-induced dyskinesias. [5] Although promising, are further studies are required to in the people to determine their potential for long-term treatment.
Although large studies with pruriens and Parkinson's patients is not yet completed, the limited research has so far shown promising results. A double-blind randomized controlled trial 8 PD patients compared to treatment with L-dopa with synthetic M. pruriens. For this study, patients had dyskinesias during a short period after L-Dopa treatment classical Selected. All patients showed an encouraging response faster dopamine in Mucuna without the unwanted side effects often after administration of L-dopa conventional found seed powder. [6] This research suggests that L-dopa course (Mucuna pruriens) advantages over current therapies for treatment of Parkinson's disease has to offer.
Purification during the treatment of Parkinson's disease
I've always been a big proponent of cleaning and further the importance of the fight against chronic diseases, the repeat associated with the accumulation of toxins. This idea is not new or novel, and there is little research available to verify the effectiveness of regular cleaning of Parkinson's disease. A study of 18 patients with Parkinson's disease, the efficacy of 200 mg of L-Dopa in combination with a pre-treatment cleaning. Patient cleaning and treatment with L-Dopa were subjected showed significantly better than those with no results. Patients appreciate better cleaning of motor function, less stiffness and spasms, and improving the overall daily function. [7]
One last thought
Current research shows great promise pruriens for Parkinson's patients, especially those who are looking for natural complementary approaches to their current treatment. Based on the available data, the regular cleaning can be a great preventative measure for anyone trying to maintain the health of the brain and to reduce the risk of developing Parkinson's disease. M. pruriens are integrated into a daily routine can also be useful; However, supplementation should be carefully monitored by a doctor if you are taking any medicines.
