Blepharospasm Ayurvedic Treatment At Matha

Blepharospasm is an involuntary forceful closure or spasm of the eyelids. It is not directly involved in vision, but since the patient is not able to open his eyes, vision becomes involved indirectly. Usually, it starts as a simple involuntary blinking of lids occasionally. Later, episodic closure of the lids develops. Gradually, the frequency of the episodes increases, and the interval between two episodes decreases.

The main reason for this condition is considered to be the dysfunction of basal ganglia and it deranges the functioning of the trigeminal system and the seventh cranial nerve.

According to ayurveda, the condition is due to Vata predominance. The vitiated Vata in turn deranges the functions of the lid. there are various methods to treat this condition. Simple ophthalmic medication alone will not work out. Methods that act upon the CNS is absolutely necessary.

Extraocular treatment procedures such as nasyam, sirovasthi, sirodhara, etc. are some among them. The selection of medicines used for such procedures is very important because the result lies in the medicines used.

Ophthalmic medications are also equally important. There are highly specified treatment procedures for the application of medicine in the eye to suit the anatomical and physiological peculiarities of the organ. The procedures such as tharpanam, putapakam, pindi, etc. are found to be effective.

Blepharospasm refers to a condition where there is involuntary and forceful contraction of the eyelids, leading to their closure beyond the individual’s control. Initially, symptoms may include itching or frequent involuntary blinking, which may go unnoticed. Gradually, blinking becomes more frequent and forceful, resulting in forceful closure of the eyelids. This condition can cause practical difficulties for the individual, such as an inability to express emotions like crying, laughing, or smiling, impacting social communication.

While blepharospasm does not directly affect vision, the inability to open the eyes can significantly impair daily activities. In severe cases, the spasm may spread to neighboring muscles such as the jaws, cheeks, eyebrows, and even the forehead, exacerbating the problem.

Blepharospasm is often an independent condition with its own etiological factors and progressive nature. However, it can sometimes be confused with other conditions like dystonia, facial paralysis, or myasthenia. Thus, a differential diagnosis is essential for proper treatment.

In Ayurveda, blepharospasm is seen as a disorder of Vata, the dosha responsible for movement. The eyelids, being predominantly Kapha-dominant, are affected by the disorder of Vata. Treatment aims to normalize the function of Vata in the eyelids.

Treatment involves oral medications to control Vata, as well as localized treatments on the head region, such as Nasya (nasal medication) and Shirovasti (oil pooling on the head). Specific eye massages, hot fermentations, and Nitro Tarpana (medicated eye filling) may also be employed to strengthen the muscles and nerves of the eyelids.

Stress and tension exacerbate blepharospasm, so stress management techniques like yoga, pranayama, and relaxation exercises are beneficial. Additionally, strengthening and soothing treatments for affected muscles, such as Gandusa and Ropana, may be employed.

Treatment may involve hospitalization initially, followed by home care with medications and lifestyle adjustments. Monitoring and supervision by experienced practitioners are crucial throughout the treatment process. Overall, a comprehensive approach addressing physical, mental, and muscular aspects yields the best results in managing blepharospasm.

  Took treatment for my macular edema condition from Matha kudappanakkunnu for 15 days. My condition was very severe when I came here, my right eye vision was very poor and took 3 injections also but no improvement and then also they suggested injections so came here for better management. Now my vision in right eye is getting better and even the left eye vision is very much improved and having no problem in vision now. I am very much satisfied in the treatment given here. Dr P k santhakumari mam is very dedicated and her entire team members Dr Athira, Dr Heera specially they are very talented and loving towards everyone. Other doctors Dr Remya, Dr Deepthi are equally good. All other staffs are very loving and caring towards everyone.

  I am Yuvaraj from Pondicherry, age about 62 years came to know this divine hospital through one of my friend.This hospital is wel maintained and well equipped in all aspects. The food given is a balanced diet for all age groups. All staffs are naturally caring to do all things for the betterment of the patients. As per my knowledge all patients go with fully satisfied Ayurvedic treatment. My problem was that of blurred vision in right eye.I could only read upto 5th line in the vision test. But after the treatment I am able to read the whole 7 lines. My sugar level also is under control after the treatment.The chief doctor Santhakumari mam seems to be divine person to clear off all the illness of the mankind.

  We brought my 85-year-old mother to Matha Ayurveda Eye Hospital ,Kudappanakunnu, Thiruvananthapuram, after her vision began to deteriorate, even though she had undergone cataract surgery in both eyes at an allopathy hospital 10 years ago. When we consulted the same hospital again, they recommended injections to boost the eye nerves.
In the meantime, we heard about Matha Ayurveda Eye Hospital in Kudappanakunnu. Upon arriving here, Dr. Shantakumari thoroughly evaluated my mother and recommended a two-week stay for traditional therapies and Ayurvedic medicines. Today marks the 11th day of her treatment, and we are already noticing gradual improvement in her vision.

We are deeply grateful to all the doctors & paramedical staff  and also the administrative staff for their friendly approach, unwavering support, and dedicated care. The hospital provides a homely atmosphere with clean rooms and nutritious food, ensuring comfort throughout the treatment process.

A special thanks to Dr. Shantakumari for her exceptional care and guidance. We wish the hospital continued success in its mission to treat eye-related conditions for patients worldwide.

  Excellent experience at Matha Ayurveda Eye Hospital  - Kudappanakunnu

We were here for my mother's Macular degenerative problem. All the allopathy doctors gave us red flag. My mother lost the hope . But thank god we came across Matha Ayurvedic eye hospital and got the treatment for it.

Excellent hospital. Doctors here are very knowledgeable and professional.  They are really humble and ready to resolve all doubts. They focus on patient's smallest reaction like sneezing / coughing/itching and take action instantly.

Staff is very polite and cooperative. Admin/reception support was also good from the date of admission to discharge.

The atmosphere of hospital was very peaceful,fresh, clean and positive. Hospital was well organised and everyone working in the hospital treats patients with care.
Also no being a north Indian we faced no communication or food issues.

I strongly recommend this hospital.

  I rarely write such big review, but the treatment and hospitality received will definitely make anyone to write.
From the moment I stepped into this hospital for my mother eye treatment after having discussion with DR PK Santhakumari, it was clear that I was in the hands of someone who combines deep-rooted knowledge and experience. She takes time to listen to everything and then decide the treatment and share with us.

Dr. Athira approach to the patient is very kind and humble. she will answer all your questions with remarkable patience. Her expertise was evident not just in her  diagnosis but also in the precision and care she exhibited throughout the treatment process. My Mother said ”Only seeing some of the doctor, you feel that, I will be well and cured soon”  -- Athira M’aam is one of the them.

Dr Heera will come regularly and ensure the wellness of you and she also explain thing in details and had patience and smile while providing you in detail.

DR Remya is the reason I am here and she was the first I had a consultation, after that she explained details and followed up and make all the arrangements. She is sweet and looked after  my mother and me, delightfully.

From the Receptionist Malini Madam the attentive nurses (Sreelekha Madam, Suma Madam, Mahesh Sir and Kishore Sir ) every member of the team played a pivotal role in making our treatment  comfortable and efficient. All (Deepa Madam, Jayashree Madam and Nandini Madam ) were always ready to assist with a smile, handling administrative tasks or treatment smoothly and efficiently. They will always make you happy with all their efforts.

My Mom vision is improving and floaters are decreasing, thank you so much all.

Special thank you to Deepa Madam and Jayashree Madam to serve the food always with happy hearts and smile.
