Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Treatment at Kurias Earth Ayurveda Hospital

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are complex developmental conditions that affect brain function, impacting a child's ability to process information and engage in social interactions. Ayurveda views autism as a manifestation of imbalances in body, brain, and life forces. Our approach at Kurias Earth Ayurveda Hospital integrates holistic and personalized therapies to address these imbalances.

Understanding Autism in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, autism is considered a disorder of disharmony affecting Medha (intellect) and the mind. The condition is characterized by:

  • Energy Imbalance: Disruptions in the body’s energy fields.
  • Rhythmic Imbalance: Irregularities in natural rhythms at the level of Medha.
  • Biochemical Imbalance: Disturbances in the body's chemical and metabolic processes.
  • Behavioural Imbalance: Challenges in behaviour and social interactions.

Ayurvedic Approach and Therapies

At Kurias Earth Ayurveda Hospital, our treatment protocol for autism includes:

  • Dosha Balancing:
    • Focus on Agni (digestive fire) to improve digestion and absorption. A balanced Agni supports overall health and mental clarity.
  • Purification and Rejuvenation:
    • Dosha Nirharana (elimination of metabolic waste) through detoxification therapies. This helps in purifying the body and rejuvenating the dhatus (tissues).
  • Medhya Rasayana:
    • Use of scientifically verified Medhya Rasayana (brain-nourishing herbs) to enhance cognitive functions and support brain health.
  • Ayurvedic Diet and Exercises:
    • Implementation of a balanced diet and exercises to ensure proper digestion, optimal nutrient absorption, and adequate oxygen supply to the brain.
  • Adjuvant Supportive Therapy:
    • Multi-dimensional interventions to enhance Dhi (intellectual power), Dhrith (differentiation power), and Smrithi (memory and intellectual faculties).
