Brain operation – Can Ayurveda help with brain recovery after surgery? - #16817
A close relative of mine recently underwent a brain operation due to a tumor. The surgery was successful, but the recovery process has been slow. He experiences occasional headaches, brain fog, dizziness, and weakness. The doctor prescribed medications to manage post-surgery symptoms, but we are looking for natural ways to support his recovery and help regain his cognitive and physical strength. I started researching whether Ayurveda offers treatments that can help with brain healing after surgery. From what I understand, Ayurveda focuses on restoring balance in the body, improving circulation, and strengthening the nervous system. Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs or therapies that can help support brain function and speed up recovery after a brain operation? I’ve read that Brahmi and Shankhpushpi are great for memory and cognitive function. Would they be beneficial in post-surgery recovery? What about Ashwagandha for reducing stress and improving overall brain health? Also, does Ayurveda have any dietary recommendations for someone recovering from a brain operation? Are there specific foods that nourish the brain and promote faster healing? Lastly, could Ayurvedic treatments like Nasya therapy (herbal oil application through the nose) or head massages with medicated oils help with neurological recovery? If anyone has experience with Ayurveda for brain health, I’d love to hear what worked for them!
