Autism/ADHD Ayurvedic Treatment

What is Autism

It is a complex developmental disorder of children which needs a highly individualized and multidimensional treatment and Ayurveda is the best medical system to address this.

In Ayurveda, autism is due to impairment of Manovahasrotas, which are nothing but channels associated with the mind and consciousness leading to vitiation of all three Doshas (vata, pitta, kapha) and the accumulation of ama (building up of toxins) in all the Dhatus (tissue systems) of the body.

Ayurvedic treatment for Autism

Step 1: The parents and the child should visit the hospital for an in-person consultation for neurological, behavioral, social, metabolic, biochemical assessments etc.

Step 2. The child has to follow the diet routines and medicines to bring down the 3 dosha imbalances and to optimize the Agni (digestive fire).

Step 3. Detoxification treatments and some home-based treatments will also be advised during these 3 months.

Step 4: Finally 21 days in hospital treatment for improving neuro-endocrine and neurosensory connections.

If detected early and the treatment is started early on, there will be tremendous progress in the disorder.

On the other side do follow behavioral, speech and occupational therapies regularly.

While we can significantly improve a child’s life and bring them back to a sense of normalcy, it’s important to note that with Autism, a complete cure might not be attainable. There might be one or two lingering symptoms that may persist, but we aim to enhance overall well-being and functionality.
