Ayush Prana foundation is meant to extend financial aid to Multiple Sclerosis patients. Despite the treatment being economic, 80% of the patients who contact us are unable to afford the treatment. This thought motivated us to start such a foundation.
In order to help many more MS patients, we seek the help of well wishers who can financially support our patients either entirely or partially. Any economic help big or small will be highly appreciated.
The right treatment at the right time can save many patients from succumbing to the wheelchair. Often, the patients are unable to afford the treatment at this juncture. Though they may be able to afford the cost down the years, the disease would have progressed by then and the recovery may be quite impossible. Time is key and your help at this time is crucial for the patient.
The donations made will be used in its entirety to treat patients. In this aspect, we differ from other organisations.
Despite us discounting some reasonable percent of the treatment costs the remaining amount still needs to be covered. You can choose to wholly or partially sponsor the treatment and medications of a patient; Or make small monetary donations.
We are transparent in our process and the website will feature the benefactions, and the details of the patients who have been thus helped.

Research is a significant aspect of clinical practice. It is of importance to showcase how herbal medicines can treat neurodegenerative disease like multiple sclerosis and overcome the blood brain barrier. The impact of the herbs on the lesions and it’s influence in reducing lesions or rendering the lesions inactive are studied. The prevention of brain volume shrinkage eventually, and totally through the help of the herbal concoctions is investigated.
There is a good possibility that the progress of Multiple Sclerosis in a patient could be stopped if treated in the early stages. And so, medical communities worldwide is scrambling to find a cure. Proper research will aid in the quest to generate effective therapies and treatments, so that more number of MS patients can avail more efficacious treatments and therapies in the future. This will ensure that nobody has to descend into a wheelchair due to Multiple Sclerosis. And this is our aspiration.
To bring our vision to fruition, we are currently pursuing two research programs. One is called an observational study, conducted with 100 patients. Collection of sample from these patients for study is afoot.
The second one involves studying the possibility of ceasing the progression of Multiple sclerosis in its initial stages with just oral herbal preparations. Preliminary data collection for this study is completed and we are hopeful that the result of this study will be published by 2023.
A successful and quality research is an expensive affair costing million of dollars. The research process requires adequate funding to acquire all the necessary resources, be it the field experts, the research facility, for its functioning, for data collections and processing. Though we have sought the help of both the Indian central government, and other foundations, we are not waiting for the complete endowment to begin the work. Our research is underway and we are looking forward to it.
