What to do for my 83-year-old father who has nervous disorders after a mild stroke with trembling and saliva issues? - #54795

This is post-stroke neurological tremor with vata aggravation. Needs vata-shamana and nervine support. Internal medicines Ashwagandha churna 3 g twice daily with warm milk Brahmi vati 1 tablet twice daily Ksheerabala 101 avarti 5 drops in milk twice daily For tremors/jerking: Saraswatarishta 15 ml with equal water after meals twice daily External: Daily gentle Mahanarayan taila abhyanga on body Ksheerabala taila for head massage + mild shiro abhyanga If saliva drooling: Vacha churna 250 mg with honey once daily Diet: Warm, soft, easily digestible food Avoid cold, dry, vata aggravating diet

This is a post-stroke (Vata disorder) condition, where nerves remain sensitive even after recovery. Trembling, jerking and saliva flow indicate residual neurological imbalance, which needs gentle long-term support, not aggressive treatment. Continue all prescribed medicines—do not stop them. Keep his routine calm and regular. Avoid stress, loud environment, and sudden movements. Diet should be: Warm, soft, easy to digest (khichdi, dal, cooked vegetables) Avoid dry, cold, and stale food At home: Daily gentle oil massage (sesame oil or medicated oil) on hands, feet, and scalp Followed by mild warm water bath At night, apply oil on soles for better sleep Simple breathing exercises if possible Ashwagandha tablet – 1 tablet at bedtime Brahmi vati – 1 tablet twice daily Ekangveer ras – 1 tablet twice daily (after food) Dashmoolarishta – 10 ml with equal water after meals This will help in calming nerves, reducing tremors gradually, and improving sleep and strength. Recovery in such cases is slow, but with consistency symptoms can reduce. If jerking increases or new symptoms appear, neurological review is important. Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)
