Doctors’ responses
For Parkinson’s, Ayurveda focuses on calming Vata, nourishing the nervous system, and improving digestion and strength.
Diet
~Warm, soft, easy-to-digest foods (kitchari, soups, root vegetables).
~Add ghee, turmeric, ginger, cumin to meals.
~Avoid dry, cold, or processed food.
~Small, frequent meals to support weak digestion.
Lifestyle
~Daily abhyanga (oil massage) with warm Mahanarayan or Ksheerabala oil.
~Gentle yoga and pranayama (especially nadi shodhana).
~Keep a regular sleep routine, avoid overstimulation.
Herbal Formulations
For your mother:
~Brahmi Ghrita – ½ tsp with warm milk, morning & evening
~Ashwagandha + Shankhpushpi syrup (e.g., Mentat or Saraswatarishta – 10 ml twice daily)
~Gokshura + Bala churna for urinary incontinence (consult for dosage)
~Nasya: 2 drops Anu Taila or Brahmi oil in each nostril daily
For you (early symptoms):
~Ashwagandha capsules – 500 mg twice daily
~Brahmi vati or Stresscom (Himalaya) – 1 tab twice daily
~Chyawanprash – 1 tsp daily in morning
Stay warm, well-oiled, and deeply nourished. Wishing strength and steadiness for both of you :)

While Ayurveda cannot "cure" Parkinson's, it can offer supportive care aimed at minimizing symptoms and improving quality of life. It's essential to address the condition both through traditional medical treatments and Ayurveda, with a focus on managing Vata dosha imbalance, often linked with Parkinson's.
For your mother, implementing a routine that calms the Vata dosha is crucial. This involves a warm, unctuous diet that includes foods like ghee, warm milk, cooked vegetables, and whole grains. Meals should be had at regular times, minimizing cold, dry or raw foods.
Abhyanga or self-oil massage with sesame oil can provide great relief for stiffness. It helps in improving circulation, reducing dryness, and calming the Vata dosha; performing this in a warm, quiet room is beneficial. A gentle massage over the neck and joints can also help with the stiffness. Encourage daily balance of rest and some gentle movement — yoga or Tai Chi, which maintain mobility without over-exhausting her energy.
Since poor appetite is a concern, India herbs like trikatu (a combination of ginger, long pepper and black pepper) can stimulate agni or digestive fire. Also, try to include herbal teas made of ginger or cumin seeds that support digestion.
For the urinary issue, herbs like Gokshura have been known for maintaining urinary health. Ensure she's drinking enough water, though, sticking to warm water rather than cold.
As for the loss of smell, it’s tricky as it's closely tied to neurological health, but Nasya, or nasal administration of medicated oil like Anu Tailam, may help in some cases.
Your symptoms, signalling early Parkinson’s possibly, warrant attention as well. Monitor these closely and maintain a routine to balance Vata using similar dietary and lifestyle adjustments. Consulting a skilled Ayurvedic practitioner who can tailor specific herbal formulations or therapies could be very helpful.
However, it's imperative to follow up with your healthcare provider for a coherent interdisciplinary treatment plan. Early intervention, combining medical and Ayurvedic approaches, may help in result better results.
