B12. Its deficiency causes demyelination of posterior, lateral, column and peripheral nerve involvement. So that in this condition we see neurological symptoms such as loss of muscle tone, loss of power, loss of sensation for temperature, touch, pain. If this condition is not treated then it causes severe systemic function loss. Supplement of Vitamin B12 and physiotherapy is the only treatment for this disorder. And it may take 6 to 12 months to get recover. And in long term patients neurological damage may not improve.</p> <p>According to <em>Ayurveda</em>, if we don’t know the name of the disease but we can treat it according to vitiated <em>Dosha</em> and <em>Dushya, Hetu etc</em>.</p> <p>So S.A.C.D. can be treated as <em>Dhatukshyajanya</em> <em>Vatavyadhi</em>.
