Paralysis

Unlock the power of Ayurveda to regain your mobility

Paralysis is the loss of ability to move some or all parts of your body that mainly occurs in elderly persons. When the whole body is impacted, it is called complete paralysis and when it impacts a particular body part, it is called partial paralysis.

Causes of Paralysis

An impairment of nerves in the spinal cord or brain is the key cause of paralysis apart from head injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury. Additionally, some infections, brain disorders and even environmental toxins may also cause paralysis. The following list provides the causes of paralysis:

Neurological diseases like Bell’s Palsy, Cerebral Palsy, Peripheral Neuropathy and Multiple Sclerosis
Infectious or autoimmune illnesses, like AIDS, Lyme disease and Spondylitis
Life-threatening conditions, like brain tumour, stroke or haemorrhage
Environmental factors, like radiation and toxins
