Ayurvedic Treatment for Paralysis

Paralysis is the loss of muscle movement in the body. Our sense of movement is controlled by communication between the sensory nerves (which are part of the peripheral nervous system) and the central nervous system (comprised of the brain and spinal cord). Disruption of communication of nerve impulses anywhere along the pathway from the brain to the muscles can impair control of muscle movement and cause muscle weakness and loss of coordination. Muscle weakness can progress to paralysis, loss of the ability to move the muscles.

Ayurvedic Treatment

Internal and External Treatment for Paralysis

Acharya Charaka has described two natural methods for paralysis (Pakshaghata) treatment: –

1. Nidana Parivarjana: In this step, the avoidance of aetiological factors is highly recommended to manage the risk factors of paralysis and causes of paralysis such as hypertension, acute encephalitis, heart disease, trauma etc.

2. Sanshodhana Chikitsa: Further, the next approach is to perform bio-cleansing therapies for paralysis. The Ayurvedic methods such as Vamana, Virechana etc. naturally speed up the recovery from paralysis. Based on several case studies of existing patients, we have established that the following natural Ayurvedic therapies for paralysis can effectively help to support the recovery of the damaged organs of the body: –

  1. Snehana (Oleation): Massage with Ayurvedic oils such as Maha narayana taila & Bala taila etc.
  2. Svedana (Hot fomentation): Shashtika shali pinda sveda & Sarvanga sveda etc. have also been proven to be very effective in the treatment of paralysis disorder.
  3. Virechana (Purgation): Cleansing with decoctions of Draksha (Vitis vinifera), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula.) etc. is very effective during the paralysis therapy.
  4. Vasti (Enema): We also understand that Vasti is very helpful in the treatment of the patients of paralysis.
  5. Nasya Karma (Through nasal): Nasya with Purana ghrita (Old Ghee) / Narayana taila / Ksheera bala taila through both nostrils can also help in the recovery of the paralysis patients.
  6. Shirovasti with Ayurvedic oils (Narayana taila / Ksheera bala taila) can speed up the patient’s recovery.
