The exact cause of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is still not fully understood. However, researchers have explored theories, such as neural damage, exposure to environmental toxins, genetic predisposition and the effects of aging as potential factors contributing to the development of the condition.

In the neurological system, dopamine plays a role in maintaining a delicate balance among neurotransmitters to facilitate nerve and muscle cells’ coordination for movement. When there is a deficiency in the supply of dopamine, this balance is disrupted, leading to symptoms like tremors (shaking in the hands, arms, legs and jaw), muscle stiffness (rigidity), slowed movements and difficulties, with balance and coordination – all signs associated with PD.
