Doctors’ responses

Hello Shahida, Before coming to the treatment, I need to know when her symptoms started after taking Quetiapine and Clobazam. Are the symptoms constant or do they come and go? Does she have tremors, difficulty walking, or feel drowsy? Any digestive issues like constipation or low appetite? Ayurveda sees drug-induced Parkinsonism as a Vata imbalance affecting the nerves and muscles. She can take Kapikacchu Churna (1 tsp with warm milk twice daily) for nerve health. Ashwagandha Churna (½ tsp with honey in the morning) can help with strength and relaxation. Brahmi Vati (1 tablet twice daily) supports brain function. Daily oil massage (Abhyanga) with Mahanarayana Taila or Bala Taila can reduce stiffness. Herbal steam therapy (Nadi Swedana) may improve movement. Her diet should include warm foods, ghee, sesame seeds, and almonds, while avoiding cold and processed foods. Gentle Yoga, Bhramari, and Anulom Vilom Pranayama can help with coordination. If symptoms continue, Panchakarma detox therapy like Basti (medicated enema), sarvanga dhara, pinda sweda, nasyam etc may be needed. Let me know if you need more details.
