Hemiplegia Meaning: Can Ayurveda Help in Recovery? - #16263

Last year, my father had a sudden stroke, and everything changed overnight. Before that, he was totally independent, working, walking, doing everything on his own. But after the stroke, he lost movement on his right side completely. The doctors told us this condition is called hemiplegia. At first, I didn’t even understand what it meant. They explained that hemiplegia means paralysis on one side of the body due to brain damage. It’s been months now, and even though he has some improvement, his right hand is still stiff, and his leg is weak. We’ve been doing physiotherapy regularly, and the doctor prescribed some medications to improve blood circulation in the brain. But I keep wondering, is this the best we can do? Can he ever regain full movement, or is this permanent? I started researching alternative therapies and came across Ayurveda. Some articles mentioned that hemiplegia meaning in Ayurveda is related to Vata imbalance. They say therapies like Abhyanga (oil massage) and Basti (medicated enema) can help restore movement. But I don’t know how effective this is for someone like my father, whose hemiplegia meaning is due to a stroke. Also, someone suggested Panchakarma therapy, but he is still weak and tired most of the time. Would that be safe for him? Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs that can help strengthen the nerves and muscles after a stroke? I read about ashwagandha and brahmi being good for the brain, but do they work for post-stroke recovery? And what about diet? The doctor told us to avoid too much salt and oily food, but are there specific foods that help with hemiplegia recovery? I just want to know if we are doing everything we can or if we are missing something that could help him regain better movement. Has anyone tried Ayurveda for hemiplegia after a stroke? What worked, and how long did it take to see results? I would really appreciate any advice.
