Ayurvedic Treatment for Paralysis
Ayurvedic Treatment for Paralysis involves Panchakarma, a key therapy in Ayurveda. Panchakarma includes five main procedures: Vamana (therapeutic emesis), Virechana (purgation), Asthapanvasti (medicated decoction enema), Anuvasanvasti (medicated oil enema), and Shirovirechan/Nasya (nasal administration of medicines). Additionally, allied therapies like Snehana (oleation) and Swedana (fomentation) are included.
Panchakarma has no adverse effects and is effective in treating neurological diseases and paralysis. Procedures such as Shashtika Shali Pinda Sweda, Matra Basti, Shiro Basti, and Sarvanga Abhyanga strengthen nerves and improve blood circulation, aiding faster recovery.
