Parkinson's disease may progress quickly or gradually over years. Many patients become profoundly disabled and others continue to function relatively well. Estimates vary, but it is thought that about one million people in the United States have Parkinson's disease. Although the illness most often affects older individuals, particularly those over the age of 55, Parkinson's disease may also affect people in their 30's and 40's.
Symptoms Parkinson's disease: - The progressive loss of voluntary and involuntary muscle control produces a number of secondary symptoms associated with Parkinson's. Most patients do not experience all of them, and symptoms vary in intensity from person to person. some secondary symptoms of Parkinson's disease include the following: -
* Constipation
* High Cholesterol
* Depression
* Hemochromatosis
* Difficulty swallowing saliva and food may collect in the mouth or back of the throat may cause choking, coughing, or drooling
* Excessive salivation
* Hypertension
* Excessive sweating
* Loss of intellectual capacity late in the disease
* Psychosocial: anxiety, depression, isolation
* Scaling, dry skin on the face and scalp
* Metabolic Syndrome
* Slow response to questions
* Postural instability
The home should be large enough to accommodate the person's needs. Special medical equipment such as a walker, wheelchair, bedside commode, or chair lift may be required. In terms of added safety, dangerous and breakable objects will have to be removed.
Herbal Remedies:-
* Larkspur: 20 grams in 4 cups of boiling water; do not drink more than 3 cups a day, a mouthful at a time.
* Lady's slipper is good for tremors, especially in debilitated conditions; it clears depression. Use a standard decoction or 3-9 g; tincture, 10-30 drops. Take 3 or 4 times a day for maximum effectiveness.
* Skullcap: Combine with lady's slipper for broader action. Strengthens the brain. Standard infusion or 3-9 g; tincture, 10-30 drops (Very often, instead of skullcap germander is given as skullcap. Ask for the genuine herb.)
* Alcoholism is one of the possible indirect causes of Parkinson's, and herbal remedies which support the liver, pancreas and adrenal glands help to alleviate symptoms.
* Ginseng, horsetail, hops, skullcap, passion flower and valerian root help to alleviate symptoms of Parkinson's. Prepare a herbal tea using 1 tsp. of herbs in 1 cup of boiling water and drink 3 cups daily.
Benefits Vitamin E: -
* Helps in the production of red blood cells (oxygen carrying cells).
* As an antioxidant, it protects your membranes from damage caused by free radicals (unstable molecules in the body).
* Helps proper function and growth.
* Works as a "blood thinner."
Natural Treatments for Parkinson's: -
* Conventional Parkinson's disease treatment is not working as well as they would like
* A wish for greater relief of symptoms and/or disability
* Issues with side effects of Parkinson's disease medications
* A desire to reduce some of the stress that comes from living with a chronic illness, as well as to cope better with stress
* Widespread advertising and attractive claims for many alternative therapy products (such as claims that these products are a natural remedy for Parkinson's disease).
Is there any exercises that I could do being in a wheelchair?
I am in a wheelchair with limited mobility! I have Spina Bifida. I am able to walk but with the assistance of a walker. I have scoliosis and have metal rods in my back. So I can't really do sit ups! If you have any suggestions please let me know!
Swimming or at least water exercises should be doable. Would crunches or leg lifts be possible?
