Mahanarayana taila - apply warm and give steam while massaging and try slowly to open fingers. You need someone else’s help for massaging.

Massaging should without applying much pressure. You need to continue massaging and steaming atleast 20minutes daily for 1 week

Hemiplegia you’ve been dealing with can be challenging, and spasticity in your fingers makes it harder. Ayurveda offers some holistic approaches that might help. To start, it’s beneficial to understand that such conditions are often associated with a vata imbalance. Vata, when aggravated, can lead to issues related to nerves and muscles.

One effective Ayurvedic therapy is Panchakarma, specifically Abhyanga, which is a warm oil massage. Use sesame oil, which is particularly good for pacifying vata. Warm the oil slightly and apply it in gentle, circular motions on your hand and arm, concentrating on the joints and tendons for about 15-20 minutes daily. You might find it best to do this in the morning or before bed. Follow this with a warm compress to enhance absorption of the oil.

In terms of herbal medication, Ashwagandha is often recommended for its ability to soothe the nervous system. Consider taking Ashwagandha churna (powder) - about a teaspoon with warm milk, preferably in the evening. However, please consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal supplement to ensure it’s appropriate for your specific condition.

Yoga and meditation can also play a supportive role in rehabilitation. Simple stretches and gentle hand exercises, like trying to open and close your fingers in warm water, can be beneficial. Incorporating pranayama (breathing exercises), such as Nadi Shodhana, can aid in calming the mind and reducing stress, which often aggravates conditions like spasticity.

Dietary wise, focus on vata-pacifying foods. Warm, cooked meals like soups and stews with spices like cumin, ginger, and turmeric can be nourishing and balancing. Avoid cold or dry foods which increase vata.

Try to maintain a regular routine with adequate rest and avoid excess screen time which can aggravate vata. Remember, progress might be gradual, but consistency can lead to improvement. If any new symptoms arise, or conditions worsen, consult a healthcare provider.

Thanks so much for clarifying this! I had no idea mixing meds could be risky. I'll stick to my doctor's meds and look into Ayurveda separately.
