Ayurveda for Stroke Rehabilitation

The brain relies on a continuous oxygen supply for various bodily functions. A stroke occurs when a clot or bleeding disrupts this, leading to brain cell death. Swift treatment is vital to prevent permanent damage. There are two main types: ischemic, from a clot, and hemorrhagic, from a ruptured vessel. Ayurveda addresses a similar condition, Pakshaghata, linked to Vata Dosha imbalance. Integrating Ayurveda with conventional treatments accelerates recovery, combining internal medication, Panchakarma therapies, and functional rehabilitation for faster restoration of musculoskeletal functions.

FAQ on Stroke Rehabilitation

How does a stroke affect our body?

Just like a heart attack, a stroke is a medical emergency. When you have a stroke, part of your brain loses its blood supply, which keeps that brain area from getting oxygen and can result into a fatal accident or permanent disability.

Can Ayurveda restore the post-stroke body to its old form?

Yes, up to a great extent. Fixing the dosha levels and metabolism can go a long way when it comes to rehabilitation. Procedures like panchakarma and murdha taila, medicines processed with vata-alleviating herbs, and a properly curated diet and dinacharya (daily routine) will improve the quality of life post-stroke.

What does Integrative Stroke Rehab involve? How is it different from conventional stroke rehab?

Conventional stroke rehab includes physiotherapy and speech therapy to improve sensory-motor functions. Integrative Stroke Rehab includes Panchakarma therapy, Internal Ayurveda medications, Diertary support and lifestyle modifications in addtion to all modalities covered in conventional rehab. It works as a complementary approach to a faster recovery.

What is the meaning of step down care? How does Ayurveda help?

Step down care is the supportive and rehabilitative healthcare given to a patient recuperating from an illness or intervention, who is regaining autonomy. This attempts to provide right siting of healthcare for emergency department attendees whose main need is rehabilitation. Step down wards are care units between the level of an intensive care unit and the normal ward. Progressive care units are sometimes referred to as step-down units, intermediate care units, transitional care units, or telemetry units. In general, they help reduce the number of ICU beds and the costs associated with the ICU without compromising patient care.

What are the risk factors for stroke?

Ayurveda considers various dietary, lifestyle and mental factors that lead to an episode of stroke. Smoking, alcoholism, heart disease, obesity, dyslipidemia, and stress are prominent risk factors.

What is F.A.S.T in stroke?

F.A.S.T is a warning code for stroke. F stands for face droop, A for difficulty raising one arm, S for speaking difficulty or slurred speech, and T for the time to act. Identifying these symptoms can help save one’s life.
