hemiplegia - #17930
I've been dealing with a huge problem for almost a year now, and it's just getting worse. Out of nowhere one morning, I woke up and my right side felt completely different - like it wasn’t mine. My arm was weak, my leg didn’t want to move properly, and even my face felt a little off. I tried shaking it off, thinking I just slept in a bad position, but within hours, I realized something was really wrong. My speech got slurred, and my grip was totally weak. By the time I got to the hospital, they were already suspecting a stroke. Doctors ran a bunch of tests - MRI, CT scan, blood work. It turned out I had a mild stroke, and they called it hemiplegia because it only affected one side of my body. The hospital gave me blood thinners, put me on some rehab, and told me to change my diet and lifestyle. But honestly, after months of physiotherapy and medications, I still feel like I’m not even close to normal. My hand still doesn’t move right, and walking feels stiff and unnatural. I’ve been told it takes time, but I can't just sit around waiting for things to get better. I started looking into alternative treatments and came across Ayurveda. Some people have said panchakarma, massages, and herbal medicines helped them recover from hemiplegia. I don’t know much about it, but I’m willing to try if it could help. What I want to know is - does Ayurveda actually have treatments for hemiplegia? Has anyone seen real results? I read about some oils like Mahanarayana and Bala Taila, but do they actually improve movement? Can Ayurveda help with the stiffness and weakness, or is it just good for general health? I also heard that certain herbs like Ashwagandha and Rasna can help with nerve regeneration. Is that true? And if so, how long would it take to see changes? I’m still doing my physio, but I really want to speed things up because I hate feeling this dependent on others. I miss driving, working, even holding a cup of coffee properly. If Ayurveda has a proper approach for hemiplegia, I’m ready to give it a shot. But I need to understand how it works and what exactly I should be doing. Would love to hear from an Ayurvedic expert - is there a structured way to recover from hemiplegia through Ayurveda? Do I need to follow a specific diet or routine to make it work? Any therapies or treatments I should be looking into? I’m open to trying anything that will actually help, but I don’t want to waste more time on things that don’t work.
