In adults, cardiac arrest or cardiovascular diseases cause brain damage due to secondary hypoxia.

Neuromyelitis Optica – Ayurvedic Herbal TreatmentNeuromyelitis optica is a medical condition related to the eyes and is also known as NMO or Devic’s disease.

This is an auto-immune condition, but is different from multiple sclerosis. NMO may be associated with other systemic diseases, and is diagnosed by the presence of antibodies in the blood. Acute attacks rapidly bring about disability, which can be treated satisfactorily with intravenous steroids, plasmapheresis, and immuno-suppressant drugs. However, this condition displays a tendency for relapse and there is no long-term cure.
Leber’s Optic Atrophy – Ayurvedic Herbal TreatmentLeber’s optic atrophy is a hereditary condition usually transmitted through the mother, in which gradual loss of central vision occurs due to degeneration of nerve cells in the retina. This condition is usually observed in adult young males. The vision loss can be either acute or sub-acute, and is usually observed in one eye, followed a few weeks to a few months later by the other eye. There is no specific treatment for this condition in the modern system of medicine. Conservative management of Leber’s optic atrophy includes regular supervision and monitoring, and avoiding the use of substances which are known to aggravate this condition. These include the use of tobacco, alcohol, and medications like ethambutol and some anti-hypertensive medicines.
