Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral Palsy is a group of movement disorders that usually take shape into early age and affect movement and muscle tone or posture.

“Cerebral” means having to do with the brain and “Palsy” means weakness or problems with using the muscle.

It is divided into 3 categories:

Hemiplegia– It affects the leg, arm, and hand on one side of the body.
Diplegia– It involves muscle rigidity, primarily in the legs.

Dyskinetic: Dyskinetic cerebral palsy is also known as Athetoid cerebral palsy. The Dyskinetic CP child has problems with walking, sitting, maintaining posture, and speaking clearly because the tongue and vocal cords are hard to control. Some children even have problems controlling facial muscles.

Treatment of Cerebral Palsy in Ayurveda

In Modern Medicine, Cerebral palsy cannot be cured completely. Various supportive aids and meditation with physiotherapy are seen as an effective treatment Whereas “Ayurveda” observes this as a neuro-biological, multisystemic, developmental disorder.

Ayurveda Medical care deals with the multipronged approach of diet, daily regime & lifestyle, intake of herbal medicine and therapies which aim at the correction of Ailments (doshas) at the level of Cortex/brain and at a systemic level.

The correction of metabolic issues responsible for such conditions (Vata Dosha and Pitta dosha) calms down the sensory overload and corrects one’s metabolism concurrently. This helps the brain to revitalize the new cells and reduces spasticity.

In Ayurveda, Classical “Panchakarma”(panch means 5 & karma means therapies) Treatment is done for cerebral palsy that controls the Nervous system, Physiological function and corrects Metabolism (Vata, Pitta and Agni). The therapies focus on:

To get their metabolism right.
Medicines are given to strengthen the brain.

boost up medicines that give strength to the brain for fast-growing & act as per the age.

Special and advanced therapies improve the child’s different body movements. It will also work on oral motor functioning by strengthening facial, throat and neck muscles to coordinate breathing, talking, chewing, swallowing and digestion.

Special herbal (Natural) Medicines to work on the Brain and making it powerful enough to give better growth and future.
