Tourette Syndrome

What is Tourette Syndrome?

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological condition defined by recurrent, uncontrollable movements and vocalizations known as tics. These tics can range from mild to severe and may include blinking, throat clearing, or more complex motor movements and vocalizations. The severity of Tourette Syndrome varies from person to person, and while there is no cure, proper treatment can help manage symptoms effectively.

Ayurvedic Perspective on Tourette Syndrome

In Ayurveda, Tourette Syndrome is often linked to an imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas. Vata governs movement and the nervous system, while Pitta controls emotions and mental processing. An aggravated Vata can lead to excessive involuntary movements (tics), while an imbalanced Pitta may cause emotional disturbances like anxiety and irritability. Ayurvedic treatments focus on balancing these doshas to regulate neurological functions and reduce tic severity.

Causes of Tourette Syndrome

Tourette Syndrome is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors:
Document
  • 1 Genetic factors:

    A family history of tics or related disorders increases the risk.

  • 2 Neurotransmitter Imbalance:

    Abnormalities in dopamine, serotonin, and other brain chemicals contribute to tics.

  • 3 Brain Structure and Function:

    Differences in certain brain areas, including the basal ganglia, affect motor control.

Document
  • 4 Prenatal and Birth Factors:

    Maternal stress, low birth weight, or exposure to environmental toxins during pregnancy may increase the likelihood of developing Tourette Syndrome.

  • 5 Immune System Factors:

    Some research suggests that infections or immune system dysfunction may trigger or worsen tics.

Tourette Syndrome Treatment with Mạnӧ Saṃvardhāna Chikitsā™

A Holistic Ayurvedic Approach to Neurological & Motor Regulation

At Mirakel Kids™, we follow Mạnӧ Saṃvardhāna Chikitsā™, a specialised Ayurvedic therapy uniquely designed for children with Tourette Syndrome (TS). Rooted in ancient wisdom, this approach nourishes, strengthens, and balances the nervous system, helping to regulate involuntary tics, motor control, emotional stability, and cognitive function.

The term “Mạnӧ Saṃvardhāna Chikitsā™” comes from Sanskrit:

Mạnӧ (मनः)

Mind, psychological well-being, cognitive functions

Saṃvardhāna (संवर्धन)

Nourishment, development, enhancement

Chikitsā (चिकित्सा)

Treatment, therapy

Thus, Mạnӧ Saṃvardhāna Chikitsā™ translates to “Holistic Mind Nourishing Therapy.” It is an Ayurvedic approach designed to stabilise the nervous system, regulate involuntary movements, and enhance emotional well-being, particularly in children with Tourette Syndrome and other tic disorders.

Mạnӧ Saṃvardhāna Chikitsā™ is based on a structured 4-pillar protocol consisting of Bahya Chikitsa (External Therapy), Abhyantar Chikitsa (Internal Therapy), DEALS Framework, Stress & Sleep Management, and Parental Support & Holistic Development to promote overall well-being.
