Hello.

 

I would find an Ayurvedic practioner in the US. There are many in California,

one in Albuquerque, one in Asheville, NC, one near NYC. There are others. Find

the NIAM website and you will find more. Meanwhile, you might want to start

taking brain herbs--bacopa and gotu kola. I would recommend a tincture or

extract rather than a pill. Put them in a tea--they are easily absorbed. I live

in NC but get my herbal tinctures from Elk Mountain Herbs in Wyoming.

For this problem , a perfect consultation is necessary to be done with Ayurveda

vaidya . May be face to face if you have any Vaidya near u , or try online

consultation so that the case history can be taken perfectly & the solution can

be given .

I have dealt with stroke very closely My husband had one 14 years ago He was 55

then. It was right sided.His speech was gone. my mother dabbled in Biochemic

medicines and ayurvedic ones. she had a no of books that told me that it happens

due to malnutrition. So nutrition taken in the form of food helps. this food has

to be balanced.For his brain I gave him 5 each of pistachios, almonds,

cardamom,dried grapes called munakka in hindi these are bigger grapes with

seeds.and five of black pepper corns.

This is one dose. could also be given twice a day. Brahmi works wonders on the

brain. a very miniscule quanti ty of bach is also good for brain and speech.

stroke makes the body very cold so all the things that are cold even in nature

should not be taken. like banana, cucumber, tea,coffee is not cold but tea and

coffee both should be avoided. water melon all fruits except apples, cheeku and

papaya are allowed.

Vegetable soups are good.

 

 There is one lentil called the horse gram or  Kulthi in hindi, thick soup of

that is very good for a stroke patient. 

Pranayaams should be learnt from a well known person. This will definitely cure

any problems. Swami Ramdev is doing great work in this field. 

physiotherapy is very helpful.

one can try some accupressure or reflexology. i learnt a new science  like this

with his ailment and have successfully used it for even averting operations on

my children.

I am writing what all I did. I did everything that any one told me so you may

verify on your own before taking any thing from here. as I am not a doctor but

through books and family and friends I learnt and used. That time we did not

have internet.

After that I started doing my own researches and worked on them. i think we

alone can help ourselves thebest as we know exactly what is wrong with us.

i took great care of his nutrition. Do not take anything that produces toxins,

avoid tea, coffee. alcohol, aerated drinks ,sugar, chocolate, white rice, white

flour. Take multigrains, roughage. keep the bowel clean. to ensure that for a

stroke patient, it is said that they should take, one tea spoon triphala churan

with warm water at night, or 1 table spoon ful of castor oil, and one teaspoon

of dry ginger powder mixed in milk at night 2-3 times a week. both these are not

habit forming. 

Keeping a happy disposition is very essential. one should engage oneself in some

kind of work or hobby.

All the best to you. You may google for home remedies or herbal remedies for

your problem and you will get lots of pages telling you what ou need to know.
