Hello Sir, If you're experiencing severe weakness, difficulty standing, and trouble swallowing at 80 years old, it’s crucial to consult an Ayurvedic expert for a proper evaluation. Please m consider Ayurvedic solutions to improve your well-being. Focus on warm, nourishing foods like khichdi and incorporate ghee into your diet for better digestion. Herbal supplements such as Ashwagandha and Shatavari can enhance strength, while Triphala may support digestion. Engage in gentle exercises like chair yoga or stretching, and practice deep breathing to improve circulation. Staying hydrated with warm water or herbal teas is also important. For tailored advice, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner. These remedies can complement conventional care but should be used under professional supervision as you are in a critical age group.

At 80 years old and with a history of stroke from a year ago, experiencing severe weakness and difficulty in swallowing food suggests a significant impact on your overall health and vitality. In Ayurveda, this condition may be related to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs movement and circulation in the body. The aftermath of a stroke can lead to various complications, including muscle weakness, reduced appetite, and impaired swallowing, which can greatly affect your quality of life.
To support your recovery, it’s essential to focus on nourishing your body with easily digestible foods that are rich in nutrients. Consider incorporating soft, warm foods like khichdi (a mixture of rice and lentils) and soups that can be easily swallowed. Ghee (clarified butter) can also be beneficial as it provides nourishment and helps to lubricate the digestive tract.
Herbs such as Ashwagandha and Brahmi may help in improving strength, promoting mental clarity, and enhancing overall recovery. Additionally, Triphala can aid digestion and detoxification, which may be helpful given your reduced food intake. Ensure you stay well-hydrated, as this is crucial for maintaining bodily functions.
It’s important to work closely with a healthcare provider, preferably one experienced in Ayurvedic practices, to tailor a recovery plan specific to your needs and to monitor any potential complications. Gentle physical therapy or movements, as tolerated, can also aid in regaining strength and improving mobility. Regular follow-ups and supportive care are essential during this recovery period.

Alright, so you're dealing with the effects of a stroke that happened about a year and a half ago, and it's understandable it's been quite a challenge. In Ayurveda, we strive to restore balance and functionality by addressing the root cause and supporting the entire body's healing.
First, considering you've got difficulty in swallowing food, let's look at incorporating soft and nourishing diet that easy to consume. Think of warm, pureed vegetables soups, and rice that has been cooked until it's very soft. You can also consider kitchari – a soothing combination of mung dal and rice cooked together with a little bit of ghee or oil, which is light to digest and can help with providing nourishment.
For your energy levels, it would be beneficial to bring in herbal support. Ashwagandha and Brahmi can potentially provide strength and might help in improving neurological function. You may want to discuss with an Ayurvedic practitioner near you to get the right preparations since these are powerful herbs.
Given mobility is an issue, we can think of passive exercises. Ask a physiotherapist or a trained caregiver to carefully move your limbs for you. This kind of movement can help maintain circulation and prevent stiffness, even if you're not able to move them actively.
In terms of local treatments from Ayurveda, external oil applications (like abhyanga) can be really beneficial. Warm sesame oil or Bala taila – if possible – applied gently to the limbs followed by a warm compress could provide some relief.
Breathing techniques, or pranayama, also be tried if you're comfortable enoough seared upright supported by pillows. The gentle rhythm of deep breathing can be calming and assist in holistic well-being.
That said, keep working closely with your medical team to ensure any Ayurvedic treatments are supportive alongside your existing care, taking emergency care whenever needed. Your age and condition demands careful understanding and balanced approach. Take care.
