It is one of the most sought-after macular degeneration treatment in India.
What is Macular Degeneration?
Macular degeneration or Stargardt's disease is an eye disorder that results from the damage caused to the photoreceptor cells in the macula. People with macular degeneration don't turn blind generally but may feel a gradual loss of vision and face problems while reading, driving, recognizing faces, and many other daily activities. Stargardt's disease starts showing its effect around 10-20 years of age.

Genetic mutations and heredity are the leading causes of macular degeneration (Stargardt's disease). Environmental factors like smoking, obesity, hypertension, and diet play an important role in disease progression.

Visual distortions, loss of central vision, difficulty reading and writing, inability to recognize faces, and difficulty adapting to low light levels are the main symptoms of macular degeneration. Symptoms management is the most crucial part of CNVM treatment in Ayurveda.

Why To Choose Ayurveda?
Looks for the Root Cause
The ayurvedic approach of disease looks for the root cause and not merely the symptoms. Ayurveda offers two ways of treatment; One is Shodhan, and the other is Shaman. Shodhan is complete detoxification of the body by Panchakarma therapies. Shaman is balancing the doshas by Ayurveda medicines, diet, and lifestyle changes. Ayurveda medicines always work better in a patient detoxified with Panchakarma.
Safe Medicines
Ayurveda medicines are processed most naturally and not in the synthetic and chemical form. For this reason, the herbs are soft on the body, and there is no risk of side effects even if the patient requires to take them for longer durations. The complete eradication of the root cause ensures the cure and prevents future health complications.
Holistic Approach
Ayurveda is not merely a medical science. Instead, it is a philosophical science too. The basic principles of Ayurveda consider an individual human a specific identity and hence his treatment. Ayurveda gives importance to the treatment of the patient rather than the treatment of the disease. Two patients of the same disease can have different treatments because of the difference in their body constitution.
