The symptoms you describe in Motor Neuron Disease (MND/ALS) — inability to speak, difficulty eating, mouth remaining open, and continuous tears from the eyes — indicate advanced disease and require urgent Difficulty swallowing can lead to choking, dehydration, and malnutrition. Take • Ashwagandha Churna 3 g twice daily with warm milk, if swallowing is possible. • Ksheerabala 101 Avarti Capsules 1 capsule twice daily after food. • Brahmi Ghrita 5 ml twice daily with warm milk. • Daily gentle Abhyanga with Ksheerabala Taila followed by mild fomentation if tolerated.
