Abstract

Guillain Barre Syndrome is an autoimmune disorder encompassing a heterogeneous group of pathological and clinical entities. Antecedent infections are thought to trigger an immune response, which subsequently cross reacts with nerves leading to demyelination or axonal degeneration. Both intravenous immunoglobulin treatment and plasma exchange. As per Ayurveda Panchkarma therapy is described in variety of diseases. As per Ayurveda this condition is correlated with Sarvangavat vyadhi – vata disorder which is preceded by Jwara. Myelin sheath is fatty in nature which covers the nerve cells. That forms insulating layer which is necessary for proper functioning of nervous system. It is compared to Medogat Vata i.e. vitation of vata. This destroys the myelin [Fat] and affects the signal transmission. It can be considered as Mamsagata Vata. Ayurveda provides Panchkarma treatment to ease the symptoms associated with GBS which reduces the illness. Ayurveda mainly focuses on balance the Tri doshas in the body.
