Stroke Rehabilitation


When the blood supply to an area of the brain stops due to clogging or bursting of arteries, it can lead to Stroke or Brain Attack. The brain cells in the area die due to lack of oxygen and nutrients. When cells are dead, the body function controlled by that part of the brain will get affected and leads to various systemic problems. Rehabilitation will help stroke patients to relearn the skills which are lost when part of the brain is damaged or affected.

 The common symptoms of stroke include:
  • Confusion
  • Numbness
  • Lack of muscular control in various parts of the body
  • Vision problems
  • Movement problems
The common complications of stroke include:
  • One part of the body gets paralyzed
  • One side of the face may get paralyzed
  • Problems in bladder and bowel control
  • Mental and emotional disturbances
  • Speech difficulties
Through ayurvedic management of stroke, we aim to restore the stopped functions as much as possible through treatments, exercises, and diet, which can rejuvenate and trigger the brain cells and also enhance the overall health. As the holistic system of medicine, Ayurveda aims to treat the root cause of the problem and helps to recover from the illness completely.

Depending upon the stage of paralysis, a treatment plan is prepared by the senior physicians. If the stroke or paralysis happened recently, then mild ayurvedic therapies like Kaya, Seka, and Abhyanga are suggested. If the patient suffers from stroke for more than a year, other more extensive treatments are recommended. The treatment plan includes:

  • Preparing the patient’s body for the medicated oil or ghee procedure.
  • Internal and external oleation is performed as per the suggestion of the doctor.
  • A steam bath process like swedana is then performed for detoxification.
  • Herbal medications are prescribed for regaining the muscle strength and immunity of the body.
  • Appropriate physiotherapy treatment is provided.

How Ayurveda Helps In Alcohol Rehabilitation?

Alcoholism is undoubtedly the bane of contemporary society. It not just wrecks the health and productivity of the individual but also extracts a huge economic cost from the nation. Dependency  on alcohol throws the social and work life of an individual out of gear and adversely affects his or her mental health.

The underlying reason for alcohol dependency is the inability to handle stress. When alcohol consumption is considered as an escape route from the rigours of life, the person's physical and psychological deterioration begins.

As the intake of alcohol increases several of the organs are compromised as the toxins within the intoxicant take effect. It destabilizes the functioning of vital organs like the liver, heart , pancreases and the gut.

Ayurveda  has identified alcohol as a toxin that upsets the equilibrium of the bio-elements , Doshas, within the human body. It primarily upsets the balance of Pitha, which is a combination of fire and water as against other "Doshas"  that are made up of different combinations of the five basic elements.

Ayurveda tries to address the root cause of this imbalance which in the case of alcohol addiction is often the underlying mental and physiological stress. Alcohol is considered as a quick fix to conceal this stress and have a temporary respite from thoughts that unsettle the mind and the body. However the patient doesn't realize that it's a futile attempt at attaining peace of mind.

One of the primary steps undertaken is to purge the body of all toxins. For which it's important to assess in detail all aspects of the patient's lifestyle including diet intake, sleep pattern, emotional condition and the physical state. Once having understood the extent of toxins present in the system,  a comprehensive package that includes panchakarma, meditation and herbal medication is prescribed.

While Panchakarma expels the toxins from the system, herbal medication rejuvenates the mind and the body and meditation helps in attaining greater focus and control over the mind. This holistic treatment effectively brings about complete relaxation to the body and the soul, restores the balance of the life forces within and thus eliminates the root cause behind the craving for intoxicants in the system.
