Essential tremor is a chronic condition that lays up to years and can become a lifelong condition if not treated well.

 Ayurvedic Aspect

The Ancient Ayurvedic texts describe a unique understanding of several health related topics. From these topics Essential tremors can be correlated with Vyadhi ‘Kampavata’ according to the Ayurveda. The main cause of tremors and Kampavata is Vata dosha aggravation in the body that results in abnormal movements along with dissimilar patterns in different parts of the body mainly including hands.

The Vata dosha is responsible for all movements in the body. Normal and abnormal levels of Vata dosha impacts on the body movements, excess abnormal aggravated levels of Vata dosha lead to a condition like tremors. Vata dosha is needed to be pacified immediately by following proper diet and life living methods in order to ignore lifelong complications.

Along with these dietary methods some ancient Panchkarma therapies work a lot in balancing Vitiated Vata dosha in the body example- Basti therapy, Snehana therapy, etc. These therapies are conducted by using various Vatashamak herbs used as prepared formulations in the form of liquid, tablets, and syrups.
