E.g. 1: '''Parkinsonism''' can be considered as “kapha-avruta –vyana”. The main symptoms are bradykinesia (gati sanga) and tremor. [Cha.Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana]] 28/]

E.g. 2: '''Multiple sclerosis or myelopathy:''' It cannot be considered under any condition as pure vata vyadhi. The principles of urustambha or medo-avruta vata works well in this condition.

Simple methods like dietary modifications as daily use of millets like barley(yava), raw vegetables without adding salt can produce [[rukshana]] in the body.[Cha. Sa.[[Chikitsa Sthana]] 27/25-26]. Excessive [[rukshana]] will lead to aggravation of [[vata]] leading to the symptoms like loss of sleep, increased pain etc; then one can shift to the line of treatment to oleation ([[snehana]]), sudation([[swedana]])etc.[Cha. Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana]] 27/40-41]

Drastic purification ([[shodhana]]) procedures are to be avoided, and the treatment should be planned according to the strength (bala)of the patient. Rejuvenating therapy ([[rasayana]]) also have a great role, especially in dealing with neurodegenerative conditions. [Cha. Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana]] 28/239-241]
