Down Syndrome Definition: How Can Ayurveda Support a Child with This Condition? - #14829
My nephew was recently diagnosed with Down syndrome, and while I understand the Down syndrome definition in medical terms, I want to know how Ayurveda approaches it. I know that this is a genetic condition, but are there Ayurvedic therapies that can support his development and overall health? He has low muscle tone and digestion issues, which I read are common in children with this condition. Can Ayurveda help improve muscle strength and digestion in kids with Down syndrome? Also, are there herbs or therapies that can support cognitive function and overall well-being? I don’t expect Ayurveda to change the Down syndrome definition, but I want to know if there are natural approaches to improving quality of life. Are there specific Ayurvedic massages or herbal remedies that could help with muscle development? If anyone has experience using Ayurveda for a child with Down syndrome, what treatments or lifestyle changes made the biggest difference?
