Suggest Treatment For "trigeminal Neuralgia"
Hi, my mother is suffering from "Trigeminal Neuralgia" for many days, but it has been confirmed a week back. from the internet, I understand there is no permanent cure for this, can you please tell me where in Kerala I can have a proper treatment for this. Even the bi-standers cannot bear to see the pain and its reaction on my mother... any ayurvedhic treatment will help, any immediate way to stop the pain? currently she is in a hospital in Calicut and Doctors are giving her possible medicines as they said and I too believe, but as per my mother the pain is like killing

1. since you have checked with doctors, thus treatment and management in Ayurveda is directed towards 'Ananat vaat'.
2. Since symptoms of pain in scalp/eyes/jaws are route of Trigeminal Nerve, thus even if opinion is favorable, we have to manage the disease, according to the symptoms present.
3. Since no known clinical/laboratory tests can confirm trigeminal neuralgia.It may be necessary to order an MRI which, in some cases, can help identify the vessel pressing on the nerve, otherwise treatment will depend upon 'atypical facial pain'
4. Grapes [specially riped] are an effective home remedy,
PS. crush ripe grapes and drink [do not add water]
5. Prescription Medicines which You can ask for: sudhanidhi ras, sameer panag ras, vaat vidhvansan ras, sarpagandha ghan vati, brahmi/mayur ghrita, errhine therapy
PS. there is increasingly strong evidence that botulinum toxin injections are efficacious and may be offered before surgery or to those unwilling to undergo surgery. [consult a good neurologist/ENT specialist since you have come to conclusion by Internet]
