Stroke/paralysis in Ayurveda

Stroke/paralysis is the inability of a muscle or group of muscles to move voluntarily. The brain sends messages that trigger muscles to move. But when stroke damages part of the brain, messaging between the brain and muscles may not work properly.

Cause

Paralysis is usually on the side of the body opposite the side of the brain damaged by stroke. For instance, a stroke in the brain’s left hemisphere will affect the right side of the body. Locked-in syndrome is an example of severe paralysis in which you can only move muscles that control the eyes.

Paralysis can be successfully treated in Ayurveda with the combination of internal medicine and external treatments. Treatment usually varies with the patient's condition.

It depends upon certain factors as mentioned below.

Treatment possibility is maximum if treated in the initial stages. As time passes, the treatment possibility goes on decreasing. So it is very necessary to bring the patient to an Ayurvedic hospital at the right time

Treatment depends upon the type of body of the patient. Some person’s body reacts very quickly to the medication and some very slowly. So the treatment possibility depends on each and every individual’s body.

This is sad but true that there are many fake doctors who practice medicine without sufficient knowledge or they don't have any degree or certification. People should be aware of this and should visit a genuine and trusted doctor.
