Causes of Parkinson’s Disease
While the exact cause is not fully understood, Parkinson’s is believed to develop due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurodegenerative factors.
Possible Causes:
| Cause | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Loss of dopamine neurons | Central cause—leads to motor dysfunction |
| Genetic mutations | Inherited mutations (e.g., LRRK2, PARK7) in 10–15% of cases |
| Environmental toxins | Pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals may contribute |
| Oxidative stress | Leads to nerve cell damage and inflammation |
| Chronic inflammation | Accelerates neuronal damage |
| Trauma or head injury | Increases long-term risk in some studies |

Symptoms often begin subtly and worsen over time. They are primarily motor-related, but non-motor symptoms are also common.

Ayurvedic Causes:
Vata imbalance due to aging, anxiety, dry diet/lifestyle
Weak digestion (low Agni) leading to accumulation of Ama (toxins)
Lack of Ojas (vital essence)
