Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a complex neurological condition that presents differently in every individual. At Ayush Prana, the world’s only dedicated Ayurvedic Multiple Sclerosis hospital, this truth underpins our treatment approach. Ayush Prana uses a highly individualized system known as PAMS — Prasanth’s Ayurveda for Multiple Sclerosis. This system assesses each patient’s unique disease characteristics — including lesion location, progression rate, body constitution (prakriti), and symptom profile — to create a tailored therapy plan aimed at symptom relief, disease stabilization, and quality-of-life improvement.

Understanding PAMS: Individualized Care for MS

The core philosophy at Ayush Prana is that MS is not simply a neurological disease, but a neuro-immuno-psycho-endocrine-metabolic condition with multiple overlapping imbalances. The PAMS model evaluates factors such as:

• Lesion size and location (e.g., brainstem or cervical spine)
• Brain volume changes
• The patient’s Ayurvedic body type
• Rate of disease progression
• Mental and emotional state

Symptom-Specific and Customized Treatments

1. Visual Disturbances & Sensory Symptoms

For symptoms like optic neuritis, blurred vision, or sensory imbalance, Ayush Prana often includes:

• Shirovasti: A signature Ayurvedic therapy where medicated oil is retained on the head. Traditionally used to support neural nourishment, it is positioned as a central therapy for neurological symptoms, including visual disturbances.
• Nasya Therapy: Medicinal herbal oils or formulations administered through the nasal passages to clear head pathways and support brain and upper spinal cord circulation.

These therapies are selected to target sensory pathways and improve nerve communication, especially when vision or upper-central symptoms are predominant.

2. Fatigue, Cognitive Strain & Emotional Imbalance

MS can deeply affect energy levels, concentration, and emotional well-being. Personalized treatment options may include:

• Rasa Shirodhara: A refined form of Shirodhara using herbal juices instead of oil, designed to calm the nervous system and support hypothalamic function — helpful for fatigue, heat sensitivity, or cognitive tiredness.
• Custom Herbal Formulations: Decoctions and herbal blends chosen based on the individual’s metabolic and nervous system status.

These approaches aim to enhance mental clarity, reduce emotional stress, and restore balance to neuro-immune interactions.

3. Spasticity, Muscle Pain & Mobility Issues

When muscular stiffness, cramps, or coordination difficulties are present, treatment plans may include:

• Kizhi Therapies: Specific poultices or herbal bundles such as Navara Kizhi (nourishing) for weakness, Ela Kizhi (anti-inflammatory) for stiffness, or others as indicated.
• Therapeutic Massage & Decoction Treatments: These help ease muscle tension and can improve circulation and joint function.

These therapies are not used uniformly for all MS patients but are prescribed when muscular symptoms are significant.

4. Holistic Support and Lifestyle Integration

Ayush Prana incorporates complementary practices tailored to the individual:

• Yoga Therapy: Symptom-based yoga postures and breathing exercises are recommended according to the patient’s strength, mobility, and progression.
• Diet & Nutrition Guidance: Ayurvedic dietary advice is personalized to support digestion, immunity, and overall metabolic balance.

These practices are integrated into the broader treatment plan and adjusted as the patient’s condition evolves.

A Personalised Treatment Journey

Each patient typically undergoes a minimum 60-day intensive therapy period, often repeated over multiple cycles. This duration allows therapeutic effects to consolidate and enables clinicians to modify treatments based on ongoing responses. Follow-up plans may include in-house care or home-based herbal medications combined with physician guidance on lifestyle, diet, and supportive practices.

At Ayush Prana, the PAMS model prioritises customization at every step — matching Ayurvedic therapies to specific symptom clusters and whole-body patterns rather than applying a generic regimen. Whether addressing visual issues, fatigue, spasticity, or cognitive strain, the goal remains consistent: meaningful improvement in quality of life, stabilization of disease progression, and personalized care that responds to the lived experience of MS.
