Best Ayurvedic Treatment for Autism in Hyderabad

Vardhan Ayurveda Hospital is the best Ayurvedic hospital for autism treatment in Hyderabad, offering personalized treatments based on the child’s dosha imbalance, mental state, and body constitution.

The hospital offers ‘Mano Samvardhana Chikitsa’, which means ‘Holistic Mind Nourishing Therapy’, which is a specialized Ayurvedic therapy developed for children with autism spectrum disorder. 

This approach helps improve social interaction, communication, sensory processing, brain function, behavioral responses, and emotional regulation in children with autism or other neurodevelopmental problems.

The different treatments we offer for autism include:

1. Panchakarma Therapies: These detox therapies eliminate toxins from the body and help calm the nervous system. These treatments are also known as Bahya Chikitsa (External Therapy) and the different treatments performed under panchakarma therapies include:

• Abhyanga: Full-body massage is done with warm medicated oils to relax the mind and improve circulation.
• Shirodhara: A steady stream of herbal oil is poured on the forehead to reduce anxiety and improve focus.
• Nasya: It involves the instillation of medicated oils or ghee into the nostrils to clear the toxins from the head region and support speech.
• Virechana: Herbal purgation therapy is provided to cleanse the digestive tract and help restore gut-brain balance.
• Basti: It involves the administration of medicated oil or decoction enemas to pacify the Vata dosha and support neurological health.
• Swedana: Herbal steam therapy is given after massage to open the body channels and promote detoxification.
• Shirovasti/Shirolepana: It involves retaining medicated oil on the scalp or forehead to nourish brain tissues and reduce hyperactivity.

2. Ayurvedic Herbs: Medhya (brain-nourishing) herbs are prescribed to enhance cognitive function, speech, and emotional stability. It is also known as Abhyankar Chikitsa (Internal Therapy) and includes the following:

• Brahmi: Improves memory, speech, and learning ability.
• Shankhpushpi: Calms hyperactivity and supports attention span.
• Ashwagandha:  Strengthens the nervous system and reduces anxiety, irritability, and emotional rigidity.
• Guduchi and Mandukaparni:  Boosts immunity and strengthens the nervous system.
• Vacha: Helps in speech development and sensory processing.
• Herbal Ghee Preparations: Medicated ghee infused with brain tonics to nourish the nervous system and enhance absorption.

3. Digestive Therapies: Poor digestion is considered to be a key factor in mental imbalances. Digestive therapies stimulate Agni (digestive fire) and reduce toxins. These therapies may include:

• Deepana: Use of herbs that ignite digestion and improve appetite.
• Pachana: Use of formulations that digest existing toxins (ama) and reduce gut disturbances.

4. Diet and Lifestyle Changes: A calming, dosha-specific diet and structured routine support the child’s healing process. Some diet and lifestyle changes recommended are:

• Eat a sattvic diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, ghee, whole grains, and moong dal. 
• Avoid processed, spicy, and fermented foods.
• Establish a good daily routine, which includes regular sleep, a nutritious meal, and regular activity times to bring balance to the child’s internal rhythms.

5. Yoga and Pranayama: Simple, guided movement, breathing exercises (pranayama), and meditation help regulate sensory processing and improve self-control.

6. Counseling and Emotional Support: Vardhan Ayurveda Hospital offers guidance for both parents and children. We provide behavioral counseling to manage challenging behaviors in children and parental support for long-term success.
