Neurologist Doctor: Can Ayurveda Help Where Modern Medicine Fails? - #16269
For the past six months, my mother has been struggling with strange neurological symptoms—tingling in her hands and feet, sudden dizziness, and random muscle weakness. At first, we thought it was just a vitamin deficiency, but when she started having memory issues and difficulty focusing, we decided to see a neurologist doctor. The neurologist doctor ran multiple tests—MRI, nerve conduction studies, and blood work. The results didn’t show anything serious, just mild nerve inflammation. He prescribed some medications for nerve pain and told us to come back in a few months. But the problem is, her symptoms are not getting better. In fact, some days, they feel worse. The neurologist doctor now says it might be early neuropathy or even an autoimmune issue, but there’s no clear diagnosis. My mother is frustrated. The medicines are making her feel drowsy and weak, and we’re still not getting answers. That’s why I started researching alternative treatments, and Ayurveda keeps coming up. Some sources say that nerve issues are linked to Vata imbalance and that herbs like ashwagandha, brahmi, and shatavari can help repair nerve damage. But can Ayurveda actually work for conditions that a neurologist doctor couldn’t even diagnose? Another concern—if she starts Ayurvedic treatment, can she take it alongside the medicines prescribed by the neurologist doctor? We don’t want any interactions that make things worse. Also, should we be looking at Panchakarma detox for neurological problems, or is that too aggressive for someone with nerve inflammation? Has anyone here used Ayurveda for neurological disorders? If yes, what worked best? And is it possible to fully heal nerve issues with Ayurveda, or does it only help in managing symptoms like what the neurologist doctor is doing with medications? Would love some advice from people who have actually tried Ayurveda for nerve-related conditions.
