Dear Sir,
I am XXXX (Age: 27 yrs.)_belongs to XXXXXXX presently working in Oman. I do computer related works throughout the day.

History & Present condition:
When I was 11 years old, I felt tremor in my hand while writing or threading a needle. Gradually, the tremor started increasing and the situation was worse during my college days (age 16 to 20). While I was 22 yrs. old the tremor started spreading to my arm, hand and sometimes I feel it on head and other body parts during movements such as eating and writing. Now-a-days my fingers on both hands also started shivering making it difficult for me to work on computer. I feel body weakness also. The situation get worsen when I feel nervous.
The doctor named my problem as “Essential Tremor”.

Medication taken:
Unfortunately, doctors were not consulted earlier due to ignorance.
For the first time on 08-08-2013 (Age 26 yrs.) I consulted a neurologist (Dr. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXX Deccan hospital, Hyderabad), since I was working there.
He suggested for CT & MRI Scan and thyroid test and all the reports were normal. He prescribed_
Betacap 40mg,
Lonazep 0.5mg
Rejunex.
These medicines were consumed for 3 months but couldn’t find any relief.
Then another 3 months following medicines were consumed and it didn’t make any relief.
Nurokind plus &
Ecosprin 150mg
After this another doctor in my home town, XXXXXXX suggested to take_
Gabapentin 100mg,
Ecosprin 150mg &
Wysolin 10mg.
This was consumed for one and half months. I felt quite relax in my head and body but there was no effect on hand and fingers. So I stopped taking it.
Now the situation is same as before.
Recently I consulted a doctor nearby my work place, Oman.
He suggested for a blood test (CERULOPLASMIN). Result was normal. He prescribed_
Primidone 50mg. (Since the medicine is not available in Oman, I have not consumed it. I am trying to get it from India).

I have uploaded scanned copies of the treatment details done in the past.

Personal details & Habits.
Used to smoke for 1 ½ years. Now stopped since 3 months.
Drinks once or twice a month.
DOB               : 13-05-1987
Height               : 5’8”

If I have to do any lab test I can do it here and send you the report or if I have to take medicines I can take it from here.

As you need classical way of ayurvedic treatment includes diet control,lifestyle modification,oral medication,external application and yoga.

As this essential tremor is not a disease like fever,diarrohea that will can manage with oral medication alone.

It needs lifestyle management and other factors along with oral medication.

Eat more fleshy vegetables and fruits.
Avoid dry food items.
Lifestyle:
Avoid stress.
As you are computer bound work,avoid sitting continuously in front of it. Take a breath out consistently.
Take oil bath once in a week. Using sesame oil.
Avoid late night sleep.
Avoid tobacco,alcohol.

Oral medication:
Take mucuna pruriens -30 g with butter milk per day.continue it for 6 months.
Use aswaganda,sankupusphi ,satavaripowder for in mixed combination -3g twice a day. XXXXXXX tailam external application daily in the hand and gentle massage advised.

External therapy:
Panchakarma advised depends upon the condition.

Yoga:
Meditation for 20 minutes daily recommended. XXXXXXX namaskaram ,uthakadasanam,thandasanam,pachimothasanam recommended to control your tremor.
Avoid factors (anxiety,caffine) which aggravate your tremor .

Try to get in 500g or 1000 g for contionous medication . You should follow it for at least 2 month to feel significant difference.l(local name of medicine-poonaikali choornam)

aswagadha and satavari available on dabur and himalaya company.

masa tailam for external use can get from kottakkal XXXXXXX vaidya pharmacy.

above mentioned company are good in manufacturing ayurvedic medicine from my experience
