Alzheimer & Paralysis

Neurological Care: Alzheimer's, Memory, and Paralysis

Both Alzheimer’s disease (a progressive brain disorder affecting memory and cognition) and Paralysis (loss of muscle function due to nerve damage) are primarily considered disorders of the Vata dosha, which governs the entire nervous system and all movement. At Ayush Nature Cure Hospital, we offer integrated Ayurvedic, Physiotherapy, and Yoga Therapy protocols focused on nourishing the nervous tissue, improving cerebral circulation, and supporting neuro-regeneration. Our approach aims to slow degeneration, improve motor function, enhance cognitive reserve, and manage the stiffness and pain associated with these complex conditions.

Our specialized approach utilizes powerful Panchkarma therapies, notably Basti (medicated enema) to pacify the core Vata imbalance, which is critical for all neurological recovery. Targeted external therapies include Shirodhara (oil flow on the head) and localized Abhyangam (massage) with potent Vata-pacifying oils to improve nerve conduction and reduce muscle spasticity. For Paralysis, Physiotherapy and specific Yoga Therapy movements are vital to restore muscular strength and coordination. For Alzheimer’s, memory-enhancing herbs and Netra Tarpana (eye treatments) support sensory function. These therapies are always personalized and administered under strict medical supervision to maximize functional improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

This section is vital for clearing up common patient questions.

How can Ayurvedic therapy specifically help in cases of paralysis?

Paralysis is a Vata imbalance affecting motor function. We use therapies like Basti and deep oil application to nourish the nerves and muscles, reducing stiffness and improving nerve communication. Physiotherapy is crucial and is integrated with our therapies to rebuild muscle tone and restore lost mobility through gradual, targeted exercises.

What is the main goal of treatment for a patient with Alzheimer’s disease?

The primary goal is to slow the progression of cognitive decline, improve the quality of life, and reduce associated symptoms like restlessness and anxiety. We focus on enhancing cerebral blood flow and using specialized memory-boosting herbs to support the remaining cognitive function.

Why is Basti considered essential for neurological disorders like these?

The colon is the main seat of Vata in the body. By administering medicated enemas (Basti), we directly treat the root cause of Vata aggravation, which drives nerve degeneration and pain. Calming Vata at its root is the most effective way to stabilize the entire nervous and musculoskeletal system.

Is there a role for diet and lifestyle change in managing these conditions?

Yes, a nourishing Diet Plan that supports brain health (rich in healthy fats and antioxidants) is crucial. Furthermore, simple, repetitive Yoga Therapy and breathing exercises are key for patients with cognitive issues to maintain motor skills and reduce the stress that can exacerbate neurological symptoms.

Are the treatment plans customizable for long-term care?

Absolutely. These conditions require long-term, supportive care. Our treatment is structured in phases: an intensive cleansing phase, followed by a long-term rejuvenation (Rasayana) phase and supportive Physiotherapy regimens, all continuously adapted to the patient's evolving needs.
