When Movement Slows, Ayurveda Steps In: A Natural Approach to Parkinson’s Disease

At Shathayu Retreat, traditional treatments are customized for each individual doshas. They often include:

Dynamic Ayurvedic Care Throughout Parkinson’s Stages

Ayurveda offers a dynamic and individualized care, one that evolves in response to the progression of the disease. It is adapted to meet the changing physiological and emotional needs of the individual.

1. During the initial stages, the emphasis is on stabilizing the nervous system, augmenting energy and vitality, and alleviating involuntary movements.
2. At mid-stages, treatment turns towards profound rejuvenation, detoxification, and dosha rebalancing to retard the progress.
3. Palliative care, focused on comfort, emotional status, and maintaining the patient’s dignity, becomes the primary focus in later stages.

In each step, Ayurveda employs thoughtful and specific approaches aimed at re-establishing balance and maintaining quality of life.

Holistic Healing Through Ayurvedic Therapies

From herbal oils to mindful movement, Ayurveda uses natural methods to restore calm and clarity. Together, they nurture the nervous system and overall well-being.

Shirodhara and Shirobasti: Applying specific oils to soothe the nerves and assist in clearing the mind.

Nasya and Basti: Nasal therapy eliminate mental cloudiness; Basti assists in treating body imbalance from the gut.

Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and Mucuna: These products promote brain well-being, reduce shakes, and remain steady.

Diet Changes: Eating warm, nourishing food helps ease dryness and lessens stress.

Therapy Moves: Easy yoga, simple breathing, and consistent routines work to maintain circulation and keep the joints moving.

As needed, nature-based approaches like steam therapy, acupuncture, or hydrotherapy are employed to increase circulation and loosen stiffness.
