The main manifestations of this disease are progressive ataxia in walking, limb tremor, dysarthria and lack of reflexes in the lower limbs. In this article, we present a case of Friedrich's ataxia in a 24-year-old woman under treatment with conventional methods, with obvious symptoms of ataxia in walking, limb tremor and dysarthria. Within 7 months of pharmacological treatment and nutritional recommendations based on Iranian traditional medicine, mentioned symptoms decreased by 40%, 65% and 80% respectively. Dietary recommendations included avoiding viscous, dense, and cold-tempered foods, while pharmacological prescriptions included brain and nerve tonics, heart tonics, liver tonics, drugs that removed moistures and coldness from nerves and drugs to promote liver digestion. https://www.ajtcam.ir/article_119465_908f1a7b179b71ae1d40e76f64e9d64b.pdf
