Overview

Ayurvedic Treatment for Paralysis

Paralysis is the loss of muscle function in part or all of the body, often caused by injury, disease, or other medical conditions. When the nerves that control muscles are damaged, they fail to send signals properly, resulting in weakness or a complete loss of movement. Paralysis can affect any part of the body, from a single limb to the entire body.

At CVN Kalari Nadakav, we specialize in Kalari Marma Treatments to address paralysis, with a focus on restoring balance and improving overall muscle function.

Understanding Paralysis in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, paralysis is known as Pakshaghata, which is primarily caused by an imbalance of the Vata dosha. This imbalance disrupts the nervous system, leading to muscle weakness or loss of control. Additional factors like improper diet, stress, and lack of exercise can worsen the condition.

Types of Paralysis

Extent of Paralysis:

• Partial Paralysis (Paresis): Some muscle control remains, though it is weakened.
• Complete Paralysis: There is a total loss of muscle control.

Duration:

• Temporary Paralysis: Can be reversed with appropriate treatment.
• Permanet Paralysis: Long-lasting with limited chances of recovery.

Muscle Tone:

• Flaccid Paralysis: Soft, limp muscles due to lack of nerve stimulation.
• Spastic Paralysis: Stiff, tight muscles with increased tone, often causing involuntary movements.

Affected Body Parts:

• Monoplegia: Affects one limb.
• Hemiplegia: Affects one side of the body.
• Diplegia: Affects similar parts on both sides.
• Paraplegia: Affects the lower body.
• Quadriplegia: Affects all four limbs and often the trunk.

Causes of Paralysis

• Injury: Spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or peripheral nerve damage.
• Diseases: Stroke, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, polio, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.
• Infections: Certain viral or bacterial infections affecting the nervous system.
• Tumors: Growths in the brain or spinal cord.
• Congenital Conditions: Birth defects affecting the nervous system.

Symptoms of Paralysis

• Weakness or loss of muscle control
• Numbness or tingling
• Difficulty moving or walking
• Loss of sensation
• Bladder or bowel incontinence
• Difficulty breathing (in severe cases)

Ayurvedic Treatment for Paralysis

Ayurvedic treatments for paralysis focus on addressing the root cause, detoxifying the body, improving circulation, and nourishing the nervous system. Key treatments include:

• Panchakarma: A detoxification process that purges toxins, enhances circulation, and restores balance to the doshas.
• Abhyanga: Therapeutic massage using medicated oils to stimulate blood flow, relax muscles, and reduce stiffness in affected areas.
• Swedana: Sweating therapy that opens pores, improves circulation, and reduces muscle tension.
• Basti: Medicated enemas to cleanse the colon and support digestion, indirectly enhancing overall health.
• Virechana: Therapeutic purgation to remove toxins (ama) from the body, especially beneficial when toxins accumulate in the system.
• Nasya: The administration of medicated oils through the nasal passages to improve circulation, particularly beneficial for paralysis affecting the upper body.

Diet and Lifestyle Practices

Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet and lifestyle to support recovery and overall well-being:

• Include: Easily digestible foods like soups, stews, porridge, and a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These provide essential nutrients and antioxidants.
• Avoid: Heavy, greasy, and fried foods that are hard to digest and may cause inflammation. Limit processed foods, refined sugars, and excess salt.
• Hydration: Drink plenty of warm water throughout the day to support digestion and overall health.
