decorticate posturing - #17308

My cousin was recently in a serious accident that caused a head injury. He was unconscious for a while, and when he started responding, the doctors noticed something strange—his arms were stiff, bent towards his chest, and his legs were straight. They said this was called decorticate posturing and that it happens when there’s severe brain damage, particularly affecting the area responsible for movement and reflexes. The doctors explained that decorticate posturing is a sign of a deep brain injury, but they weren’t sure yet how much he will recover. They are monitoring him closely, and we’re just waiting, feeling completely helpless. They said it’s better than decerebrate posturing but still a serious sign. Right now, he’s on life support, and the only thing they can do is manage his condition. I started looking into Ayurveda because I want to understand if there’s any natural way to support brain healing. Does Ayurveda offer any treatments for neurological recovery after severe brain injuries? I’ve read about herbs like Brahmi and Shankhpushpi that help with brain function, but are they effective in such critical cases like decorticate posturing? I also want to know if there are any therapies or Ayurvedic practices that help with nerve regeneration. Will therapies like Shirodhara or certain herbal oils be helpful, or is this condition something that only medical intervention can manage? The doctors are saying recovery depends on how much the brain heals over time, but we don’t want to just sit and wait. Has anyone used Ayurveda to support healing in a patient with decorticate posturing? Is there anything we can do to improve his chances of recovery?
