According to Rasa Shashthra, Parkinson’s disease is caused by “Vatha”. Generally most of the people suffer from some kind of affliction. Some people sometimes realise that they are not healthy only when some sickness emerges. Certain sicknesses develop very slowly and take time to become full blown. According to the wisdom of Eastern Medical Therapy, Vatta, Pitta and Kapha are the root causes of all ailments.

Parkinson’s disease has a history of more than 5000 years. It was called by “Kampa Vayu” by Estaren Medical Practitioners. The disease is named after the English doctor James Parkinson, who published the first detailed description in An Essay on the Shaking Palsy in 1817. The most obvious symptoms are movement-related; these include shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty with walking and gait. Later, cognitive and behavioural problems may arise, with dementia commonly occurring in the advanced stages of the disease. As the disease progresses, a complication called Dyskinesia or involuntary writhing movements of body starts occurring.

Demographical analysis shows that people in middle ages mostly become victims of this disease. Especially those who are afflicted diabetic and suffering from disorders in the nervous system are prone to this disease. Today many people are going through untold hardship in search of a lasting cure.

However, Rasa Shashthra, the age old time tested Eastern Medical Therapy invented by the Sages who lived in India thousands years ago has a definitive cure for Parkinson’s disease. This uncommonly great and very rare form of treatment is an integral part of a rich medical heritage of the age old medical therapies of the “Belideniya Ancestry” one of the renowned the forefathers of Eastern Medical System in Sri Lanka.

According to Rasa Shashthra, primary cause of Parkinson’s disease is “Vatha”. Moreover, it is also affected by the toxics that enter the body through the intake of food and water. Rasa Shashthra treatment entails regular use of medication prepared by detoxifying Mercury, Gold and other Metals in a manner that suits the human body and taken in the form of powder and tablets in appropriate doses on a day to day basis to achieve permanent cure.

There is a school of thought that believes that King Ravana used Rasa Shashthra as a prominent system of medical treatment.

Dr.lalith Kularathna the leading Rasa Shashthra Practitioner in Sri Lanka, a descendant of the Belideniya Ancestry stated with confidence that Parkinson’s disease could be cured permanently through the Rasa Shashthra Therapy without any risk of side effects. Dr.Kularathna further stated that Gold which is heavily used as in ingredient in Rasa Medicine possesses powerful medical properties which could be used for genetic engineering whilst confirming that Rasa Shashthra Therapy has given relief to many hapless people who have been suffering from Parkinson’s disease.

Chronic Kidney Disease of undetermined causes (CKDu) is prevalent in several Central American countries, Sri Lanka, Egypt, and now India. It’s a fatal progressive loss of kidney function that has killed 40,000 people in the last decade—and no one knows what causes it. CKDu mostly impacts poor, agricultural workers, and is virtually undetectable until its latest stages when kidney failure is inevitable. As villages in Southeastern India grapple with this hidden disease, it has a severe impact on families and their livelihoods. This documentary by Talking Eyes Media, Hidden Under the Indian Sun, follows two women as they encounter this disease in their communities.
