When Seconds Matter
A loved one suddenly can’t move, speak, or smile — every second counts. A stroke happens when the brain’s blood flow is blocked or bleeds, cutting off oxygen to vital areas. Quick action can save life and function. Remember the F.A.S.T. rule: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call help.But recovery doesn’t end at the hospital — it truly begins afterward. That’s where Ayurveda plays a vital role.
Understanding Stroke in Modern Medicine
Stroke is usually caused by either a clot blocking blood flow (ischemic) or bleeding inside the brain (hemorrhagic). High blood pressure, diabetes, inactivity, and stress are major triggers — most are preventable. Managing lifestyle and early rehabilitation can dramatically improve outcomes.
The Ayurvedic Perspective: Beyond the Blockage
Ayurveda describes paralysis under Vata Vyadhi, disorders of movement and coordination. It’s seen not just as a physical event but as a disconnection in communication — between the mind, nerves, and muscles. When this natural rhythm breaks, Vata must be calmed and guided back into balance.
Stroke and Paralysis treatment in Ayurveda
At Ayurriddhi, therapies are chosen based on your body type (prakriti), stage of recovery, and overall strength. Stroke and paralysis treatment in ayurveda involves key therapies include:
Abhyanga: Warm oil massage that nourishes nerves and improves circulation.
Pinda Sweda: Herbal bolus therapy to reduce stiffness and enhance muscle tone.
Nasya: Nasal therapy that rejuvenates brain and sensory pathways.
Basti: Medicated enemas to balance Vata and aid motor recovery.
Shirodhara: Continuous oil flow on the forehead to calm stress and support neural repair.
These treatments gently retrain the body’s inner communication, much like reconnecting broken circuits.
Recovery Begins Within
We follow the 4R formula — Right Food, Rhythm, Rehab, and Rasayana.Wholesome diet, regular daily routine, guided physiotherapy, and Rasayana herbs work together to rebuild strength, speech, and emotional stability. Ayurveda treats not only the limbs but also the mind that controls them.
