Dysautonomia Causes, Symptoms, And Herbal Treatments
Abstract
It is a problem of ANS dysfunction in the brain. This part of the brain or nervous system regulates negative functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, body temperature, bladder function, hormonal function, digestion, and other bodily functions. When the ANS is affected, these abnormal functions result in difficulty breathing, etc. It may be innate or may appear suddenly or gradually at any time in life. So today we will talk briefly about autonomic dysfunction. We will discuss its causes, symptoms, problems, risks, diagnosis and treatment according to the world of Ayurveda.
Introduction
Dysautonomia is a disorder of the ANS. The ANS is responsible for involuntary actions (things that happen without thinking), such as breathing. Autonomic dysfunction is often associated with the failure of the sympathetic and parasympathetic components of the ANS.

4. Multiple system atrophy
Multiple system atrophy is a fatal type of this and it develops in individuals above 40 years old. MSA can cause heart problems, hypotension, unproductiveness and urine leakage.
5. Pure autonomic failure

- A medical device is connected to you that calculates your systolic and diastolic pressures, oxygen level and pulse rate.
- As the table is tilted upward, the machine evaluates in what way your body controls ANS functions such as systolic and diastolic pressure and pulse rate.
Additional tests your doctor may recommend to diagnose the condition include
- Sweating test
- Breathing test
- Electrocardiography
- Cold Pressor test
- Nerve biopsy

- Orthostatic intolerance
- Electrochemical skin conductance
Treatment- (Lifestyle Changes)

Ayurvedic Overview
In Ayurveda, we can associate dysautonomia with manifestations of Vata energy. Abnormal Vata can lead to many diseases by causing many problems for the body. It also affects strength, skin, health and longevity. It interferes with the functioning of the mind and suppresses all thoughts. Therefore, it causes fear, sadness, confusion, anxiety and extreme delusion, and eventually stops breathing. People with a good flow and a normal state can live a long life without problems.
