Charcot Marie Tooth disease or CMT is a common neurological disorder affecting the nerves and muscles. It is a hereditary disorder that causes sensory and motor neuropathies. Hence, it is also called a hereditary motor-sensory Neuropathy. This condition affects the peroneal muscles resulting in their atrophy.
It also causes significant damage to the peripheral nerves that supply the sensory organs and muscles in the limbs. The use of Ayurvedic herbs can help in the Charcot Marie Tooth Disease natural treatment and can prevent the sensory and motor symptoms caused due to the involvement of the nerves and muscles. [1]
Charcot Marie Tooth disease is basically a sensory motor neuropathy, which occurs due to the mutations in some genes. These genes are involved in the production of proteins, which are needed for maintaining the structure and functions of the peripheral nerve axons and the myelin sheath.
The abnormality of these genes affects the way the nerve cells communicate information from the brain to the distant targets through axons. This results in abnormal movements and loss of coordination that characterize the symptoms of CMT.
The affection of motor nerves caused due to CMT results in abnormal contractions and movements of the muscles. It also results in an inability to control the voluntary muscle activities involved in speaking, breathing, walking, and swallowing.
A typical feature of CMT is the weakness of the muscles in the feet and lower legs, which result in a high-stepped gait and foot drop. The patients may also experience frequent tripping and falls. The foot deformities like high arches are also common in the patients suffering from CMT. It can also cause hammertoes, an abnormality caused due to the upward bending of the middle joint of the toe.
Additionally, the lower legs of the patients may take an appearance of an "inverted champagne bottle" due to the reduced muscle mass. Severe weakness and atrophy of the muscles of the hands can occur in the later stages of this disease. It results in difficulties in performing fine motor skills and loss of coordination of movements of the fingers, wrists, hands, feet, and the tongue. The Charcot Marie Tooth muscular atrophy can be prevented and managed to some extent by using herbs recommended in Ayurveda. The ayurvedic approach to the management of CMT also involves following a balanced diet to ensure the body receives a high amount of vitamins, minerals, and proteins that can restore the normal nerve functions and muscle mass.
The onset of symptoms of CMT usually occurs in the early adulthood or even adolescence though some patients tend to develop the symptoms later during the mid-adulthood. The severity of the symptoms varies among patients. The progression of symptoms occurs gradually over several years.
The pain in the hands and legs caused due to CMT can be mild to severe. The pain, and loss of muscle coordination may force some patients to rely on leg and foot braces and other orthopedic devices for maintaining mobility. Patients with CMT nerve disease can follow ayurvedic oils treatments to minimize pain and improve the muscle coordination and nerve functions.
In rare cases, CMT may affect the muscles in the chest. It can cause weakness of the respiratory muscles resulting in a difficulty in breathing. This may increase the risk of mortality linked to CMT.
Since the gene mutations involved in the development of CMT are inherited; the incidence of this disease is higher in the people having a family history of the same.
Charcot Marie Tooth Disease can be managed with the help of herbs mentioned beneath. These herbs support the functions of the nerves and improve the muscle coordination.
Amla (Phyllanthus emblica): Amla can natural immunomodulator herb for the treatment of peroneal muscular atrophy caused due to CMT. It contains a high amount of vitamin C that prevents damage to the nerves and muscles by producing an antioxidant effect. [2]
Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri): The Indian medicine recommends the use of Brahmi for the management of CMT symptoms. It produces a rejuvenative effect on the brain and nerves. It can prevent the loss of muscle coordination. [3]
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): Ashwagandha can be used to treat the symptoms of CMT muscle disease such as weakness of muscles, and loss of nerve functions. It can restore the sensory and motor functions by acting as a natural rejuvenator. It also can increase the muscle mass in the body. [4]
Mandookparni (Centella asiatica or Gotu kola): Mandookparni encourages the nerves functions and prevents the progression of CMT symptoms. [5]
Ayurveda offers management for the CMT Disease. Ayurvedic treatment for this condition may involves following an ayurvedic diet and an special treatment called Shasti Shali Sweda treatment.

Ayurveda stads for extensive and elaborate clinical examination to understand thenature of the disease
I consulted Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic for my teenage son to improve his height. He was 4.11 at 13. I was very worried as we are not tall parents and I thought to do something natural soon before its too late. I took a phone consultation with Dr Saini at Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic. Range of dietary, lifestyle changes were suggested and some Ayurvedic medicine was posted to me. I am very happy to say that with in six months, my son has shown a significant improvement in height. His family and friends have all acknowledged the improvement in height. I highly recommend Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic for natural height improvements.
3+ years ago just before covid hit, I had sudden intolerance to a string of food predominantly gluten, cow's milk, egg and night shade vegetables. Energy was low and brain was foggy. I consulted and tried other treatments but minimal improvement. I was recommended to Drs Saini and Pooja by a friend who came out of her issues after ayurvedic treatments. Without hesitation, i consulted and started my ayurvedic journey 2+ years ago. It was the best decision I made. During those time, I had 2 sessions of panchakarma treatments. 2+ years later, I can now confidently say that I am able to incorporate gluten and cows milk products into my diet without any issue. My energy is back to normal and the other bonus for me is that unnecessary food cravings have diminished. I am very grateful and appreciated Drs Saini & Pooja's dedication and patient throughout my ayurvedic journey...
I am writing this review so that everyone gets to know about the most capable Ayurvedic doctor of Melbourne, Dr. Saini and could reach out to him for almost any condition they might be suffering from. I was suffering from Migraine headache almost everyday but after taking the medicines prescribed by Dr. Saini, my headache almost vanished. These Ayurvedic medicines helped me in controlling my stress magnificently. I hope my review could help others who are suffering from anxiety and stress or any other chronic disorder. Please try the Ayurvedic(herbal) medicines for once as they don't have any side effects. They also have the facility of Ayurvedic massage which can definitely help the hard-working professionals out there. I hope everyone could get this miraculous treatment of Ayurveda.
Can't recommend highly enough. After 18 months of working with other health professionals (including doctors, naturopaths, chiropractors and osteopaths), I was finally able to heal my body with simple dietary and lifestyle changes recommended by Dr Saini. Ayurvedic approach tackles not only physical health but also emotional and spiritual, and the herbs and treatments are also tailored to your particular dosha (body type). After working with Dr Saini for a few months I did the Panchkarma cleanse, which I was very skeptical about, but I was amazed that this fixed my gut problems. The treatments during Panchkarma were actually quite amazing - Pooja is a miracle worker and so lovely. Dr Saini's knowledge and client base is very highly regarded in the industry, with other well-known Ayurvedic resorts using this clinic when in Melbourne. Highly recommend.
I have been under Dr Sainis treatment for backpain over 2 months.He is an empathetic sensitive and responsible Dr who gave careful directives and absolutely effective treatment to me as a patient.I could speak to him my issues confidently enough and he takes it for face value.I am completely fine now.I thought of my fears of my future and my job which was my sole income.I would love to say that I praise God and highly recommend Dr Saini as an effective practitioner for me and in Ayurveda.Thank you Dr Saini for everything that you have done to help me.
Hello all, I have been consulting Dr. Saini for past 2years or so and have found his treatment very helpful and effective. He has a deep knowledge of Aryuveda and listens to your health issues, doubts and concerns patiently and advices Aryuved herbs and gives advice accordingly. He is kind and easy to talk to. I highly recommend Dr. Saini to anyone who is looking for treatment for their health issues or improving their overall health.
I’m very happy with the treatment and medication given by Dr. Saini to heal De Quervain tensosynovitis. Pain was really too bad , I couldn’t stretch my thumb or move my wrist. On my third and final day of treatment I completely forgot I had an injury on my wrist because after the second treatment I had zero pain. Thank you so much Dr.Saini.
Dr Saini has been so supportive in working with me to refine my mind, body and spirit to once again be able to consume gluten. Once I was diagnosed as gluten-intolerant, I thought I would never eat gluten again. But by embracing the ways of Ayurveda, I am now eating gluten on a daily basis that is pain free and discomfort free. Joseph Ferguson
I would highly recommend Dr Saini for the treatment of Arthritis.I had pain,stiffness and numbness in my fingers and joints.Its been a year now and I have noticed 80% improvement in my condition.Thank you Dr Saini.
It was a wonderful experience with u guys.A natural way to fight the disease with no side effects of treatment.
I cannot recommend highly enough. This has been my first experience with Ayurvedic medicine and the Panchakarma cleanse and I can finally say that after years of striving for better health and wellbeing, I finally understand what is going to work for me moving forward. Having experience a traumatic event and subsequent PTSD 5 years ago, my gut and my body became increasingly compromised. In this time I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome and various ailments of the gut. I came to see Dr Saini and Pooja at a time that I felt frustrated with my years of work to see some more obvious progress with my healing. Having completed the Panchakarma cleanse, I am feeling fully renewed. Awake. Settled. I no longer struggle to wake each morning and get through each day. My appetite feels steady and all cravings have completely ceased. I now have some tools under my belt to fall back on when I know my digestive system needs a break. This cleanse has been a complete game changer. Thankyou Dr Saini and Pooja for you incredible guidance and support. Liz
I started to get depressive mood and nightmares since diagnosed with varicocele and hydrocele. Specialist recommended me getting coil embolization to block the veins. I was hesitant with the idea of it and ignored his advice. I thought I would try with natural approach to deal with my health issues. After reading online I started to make healthy changes in my life-style and food regime e.g. avoiding inflammatory and junk food, energy drinks etc. Also reduced smoking and alcohol for 3 months. But my pain and swelling in the scrotal area did not improve. More over I started to get lack of libido, premature ejaculation and erectile difficulties. Due to that I started to remain frustrated and angry most of the time. My relationship with my family members, friends and partner started to get difficult. Finally came across Dr Saini ayurvedic medicine clinic in Melbourne. Had a detial consult with Dr Saini. His Ayurveda approach for varicocele and its related problem worked like magic for me. First month he modified my life-style and food, based on my ayurvedic makeup. He also introduced some his own blends of organic herbs and spices with daily breathing exercise. In second month I did panchakarma detoxification. Now there is no pain or swelling in my scrotal area. My manpower is back to normal (even better than earlier), having grounded emotions and sound sleep with best physical and mental health. I highly recommend everyone to follow ayurvedic life style and its natural way of healing your body. Dr Saini is best in his job.
