Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare condition of the nervous system that causes gradual damage to nerve cells in the brain. This affects balance, movement and the autonomic nervous system, which controls several basic functions, such as breathing, digestion and bladder control.
It is caused by an overproduction of a protein in the brain called alpha synuclein which causes degeneration (atrophy) of nerve cells in several areas of the brain.
The common signs or symptoms of multiple system atrophy include that of slowness of movement, tremor, or rigidity (stiffness), clumsiness or incoordination, impaired speech, fainting or lightheadedness due to orthostatic hypotension, a condition in which blood pressure drops when rising from a seated or lying down position.
Homeopathic treatment for Multiple System Atrophy helps as supportive treatment and aims at treating the symptoms of the disease. This condition is considered serious and chronic and homeopathy offers an effective, deep-acting approach for those who are challenged by this condition.
