Treatment of neuroses is one of the most complicated and pressing problems of modern medicine. Generally, people who have weak and unsteady nervous system face this disease. Saying neurosis we should understand such an illness of nervous system, the emergence of which is conditioned by the sharpest disturbance of nervous system in the result of durable unfavorable factors. As no structural changes occur in nervous muscles during neurosis, the ill are regarded to be restored to health in the result of certain cure and, of course, in case of liquidation of unfavorable conditions. Contemporary medicine offered today is mainly aimed at elimination of obsession of the patient as well as his fears, doubts and absurd behavior. But in a number of cases the patients face dryness in the mouth, muscle tension, restlessness, insomnia, impatience, weakness, and so on. So, in spite of already achieved success, the issue of treatment of neuroses is still not of full value.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
127 patients have been under our care and control for seven years. 84 (66%) of them were women suffering from neurasthenia (53 people, 63%), hysteria (22 people, 26%) and psychasthenia (9 people, 11%). 43 were men suffering from neurasthenia (18 people, 42%), hysteria (3 people, 7%) and psychasthenia (22 people, 51%). 32 patients out of these 127 were offered and took our medicine along with those of theirs. The patients were aged from 16 to 75. To make the infusion envisaged for the treatment of neurosis we have used Armenian medieval medicine sources. The infusion includes A, B1, P, E vitamins, barbs, hay plant, iodine, flavinic acid, serotonin, lanolin, anethol, thyme, eugenia, etc. Preparation is used 4 times a day, 1 gram mixed with water, which regulates sleep of the patient, blood tension, and heart rhythm, promotes relaxation of nervous tension. The patient step by step gets rid of the obsession, fears and manages to control his temper. In contrast to chemical preparations this infusion doesn’t generate any side effects.
ANALYSIS OF TREATMENT RESULTS
During the treatment of different forms of neuroses, using the preparation offered by us, the patient feels regulation of sleep during the first week; he gets rid of irritability and general weakness. As for patients suffering from neurasthenia, 94% of them don’t need any other medicine at all in 2,5-3 months. They recover. Absent-mindedness and hastiness disappear, as well as coldness of extremities, their heart rhythm gets regulated, and ability to work is gained again.
Patients suffering from hysteria get rid of their frequently repeated headaches, burning pain in the area of the head, giddiness. They become more balanced and react to the external impulses with more presence of mind.
We haven’t noticed any positive changes with the 5 patients (out of 31) suffering from psychasthenia. As for the others, during 4-5 months, they have overcome their fears, doubts, obsession, and numerous other seemingly morbid phenomena. Most of them have gained their ability to work. Those patients, who have parallelly used also other medicine, have gradually given them up.
Thus, the infusion we offer regulates the activity of nervous system, two-three times shortens the period of treatment after which the patients don’t need medicine and are quite able to go on working.
