Munzijate Balgham with Interpretation to their Mechanism of Action in Stroke Rehabilitation: A Review

Abstract

The basic line of treatment of Falij Balghami is use of Munzijate Balgham followed by Mushilat and Muqawwiyat. Munzijat is the group of drugs which suitably modify the consistency of morbid Akhlat to make them able to evacuate from the tissues, vessels and interstitial spaces. They act either by liquefying the consistency of Ghaleez Akhlat, or by thickening the Raqeeq Akhlat. Nuzj occurs over a period of time which varies according to the affection of different morbid Akhlat. Conventional treatment of stroke entails the use of antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and fibrinolytic drugs which resemble the mechanism of action imparted by Munzije Balgham drugs endowed with properties such as Tahleel, Taqtee, and Talteef. Neuroplasticity and neuroprotection are considered the fundamental theories behind the long-term neuro-rehabilitation in patients of stroke. Recent studies have proven the effect of a few herbal drugs used as Munzijate Balgham in enhancing neuroplasticity and neuroprotection. Studies on human subjects suggest effectiveness of Munzijate Balgham in improving motor power, gait rehabilitation and alleviation of spasticity.  This paper aims at reviewing some common Munzijate Balgham with reference to their mechanism of action in Stroke Rehabilitation.
