Addressing your childâs hyperactivity and speech delay through Ayurveda requires a comprehensive understanding of his individual prakriti as well as any dosha imbalances, particularly in the area of Vata dosha, which governs movement and communication. Hyperactivity and speech delays can sometimes indicate an imbalance in Vata, so balancing this dosha might be a good starting point.
Diet plays a crucial role, so incorporating grounding, warm, and nourishing foods can help to pacify Vata. Include foods like cooked whole grains, warm milk with cardamom, organic ghee, and stewed fruits. Avoid cold, raw or processed foods, as these can exacerbate Vata imbalances. Regular meal times are also important.
Incorporating a routine will help in calming hyperactivity. Try a daily routine, going to bed and waking up at the same time. Opt for calming routines like gentle massages with sesame oil before a bath, which can be soothing for hyperactive behavior and improves circulation. Consider practicing some gentle yoga exercises with him, focusing on breathing techniques and calm postures, helping to bring more mindfulness into his day.
For speech delays, consider Vacha (Acorus calamus) as itâs traditionally known to help improve speech and comprehension. However, always consult with a local ayurvedic practitioner for appropriate use, dosage, and method for children. Herbal supplements should be strictly under professional guidance to align with his prakriti and unique constitution.
Improving social skills can involve gradual, encouraging interactions with other children within a controlled, familiar environment through playdates. Itâs essential to celebrate small interactions and build on them gradually.
The timeframe for improvement is variable; it may take several months, and consistency is key. Regular follow-up with a health professional will help monitor progress and adjust any interventions. However, alongside Ayurveda, consulting with a speech therapist and possibly a developmental pediatrician for comprehensive assessment and therapy might be beneficial, ensuring your child receives the most suitable care.
