Autism

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by challenges in communication, social interaction, and repetitive behaviors. In Ayurveda, it is associated with imbalances in Vata and Pitta doshas, affecting neurological and metabolic functions. Ayurvedic treatments include Panchakarma therapies such as Snehana (oleation), Swedana (fomentation), and Nasya (nasal medication) to detoxify and balance the nervous system. Medicated ghee preparations, herbs like Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, and Ashwagandha, along with tailored diets, support brain development and improve behavior. Combined with yoga, meditation, and sensory integration therapies, Ayurveda aims to enhance cognitive functions, emotional regulation, and social adaptability in children with autism.
