Abstract	Background Guillain-Barré syndrome is a condition where the immune system attacks the nerves. This causes Guillain-Barré syndrome to make the muscles get weaker and weaker. People with Guillain-Barré syndrome also have problems with their senses and other parts of their body. With the best care some people with Guillain-Barré syndrome take a long time to get better and they are left with some problems.Ayurveda says that Guillain-Barré syndrome is, like something called Vata Vyadhi, which is also known as Sarvangavata.
