Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hari Om, Yes, Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) is useful in AUTISM. But you can prepare a MIX for the treatment though the process of recovery is very slow. Ashwagandha ( Withania Somnifera), Brahmi (Bacopa Monnieri), Mandukparni (Centella asiatica), Vishnukrantha (Evolvulus alsinoides), Jatamansi (Nardostachys Jatamansi), Tagara (Valeriana wallichii), Vidanga (Embelia ribes), Vidari (Ipomoea digitata), Vatadha (Prunus amy.), Vacha (Acorus calamus), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Amalki (Emblica officinalis), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Jyotishmati (Celatrus Paniculatus), Shyonaka (Oroxylum indicum), Ela (Elletarie cardamomum) and Kapikachchhu (Mucuna pruriens) are very good to get the improvement. This MIX improves mental functions by a modulation of the cholinergic and GABAergic neurotransmission, mental quotient, memory span and concentration ability.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Mridulaji, Hari Om, In AUTISM, mental subnormality is a multidimensional condition with mild to severe symptoms. It may present as a specific disorder or may occur in combination with other disorders. The learning process in mentally subnormal individuals is comparatively slower and they are less capable of mastering abstract and complex concepts. Besides cognitive deficits associated abnormal behaviour such as hyperactivity, distractibility and aggression are the major complicating factors. So we need a few herbs which can improve mental-capability, mental quotient, memory span and concentration ability. I have gone through a few old volumes of medical/health journals i.e. Neurosciences Today (2002), The Indian Practitioner (1994), Probe (1999), Pharmacopsychoecologia (1990) and Journal of community Psychiatry (1989). I am not a doctor but due to my many years experiences of selfless services as a wandering monk in the field……… I put forward a few suggestions on the basis of practical experiences only. Yes, sometimes, I am afraid but I have faith in this FORUM of specialists who will modify my suggestion/statement …………. Secondly, I have deep faith in Upanishads, God & His kindness. Our destiny was shaped long before the body came into being. Today's modern science, too, has accepted this theory of rebirth & reincarnation. It would be impossible to experience and endure all Karmas in one life. From the stock of sanchita karma/ accumulated karma, a handful is taken out to serve one lifetime and this handful of actions, which has begun to bear fruit and which will be exhausted only on their fruit being experienced. Hence, it is the sum of one's past karmas – all actions (good and bad) that follow through from one's past life to the next. Prarabdha, fruit-bearing karma, is the portion of accumulated karma that has " ripened " and appears as a particular problem in the present life. This is the truth, you consult the doctors …….. use herbs …….. do your best but Lord Krishna only can absolve you of all sins. No doubt, if a specialist in the area is consulted, it's better. Presently, a few autistic children are getting improvement with this mixture ( alongwith a few more tasks) though the process of recovery is very slow as it happens in this case. (a) Vidari (Ipomoea digitata), Ela (Elletarie cardamomum) and Kapikachchhu (Mucuna pruriens)- take one unit each by weight. (b) Vacha (Acorus calamus), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Amalki (Emblica officinalis), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Jyotishmati (Celatrus Paniculatus) & Shyonaka (Oroxylum indicum) - take two units each. © Ashwagandha ( Withania Somnifera), Vishnukrantha (Evolvulus alsinoides), Jatamansi (Nardostachys Jatamansi), Tagara (Valeriana wallichii), Vatadha (Prunus amy.) & Vidanga (Embelia ribes) – take three units each. (d) Mandukparni (Centella asiatica) - take four units. (e) Brahmi (Bacopa Monnieri) - take eight units. With best wishes, Swami Brahmavidyananda Saraswati A Hindu Monk/Sannyasi from India _________________ Please can you tell us the proportion of the herbs.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hari Om ! Why do people with fragile X syndrome, a genetic defect that causes autism and inherited mental retardation, recoil from hugs and physical touch - even from their parents? A study published in the Thursday issue of Neuron explains this.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 It interrupts their reality - there was a very interesting book written on the subject - it was just the boy's name as title - someone - perhaps his mother - held him until he stopped struggling, stopped screaming, stopped sobbing and cured him. The name was something like " Nibs " - someone might recall?

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Respected Vani, Hari Om ! Answer 2 ur question is NO…… But Kapikachhu (One capsule twice a day after meals) and Mentat (One tablet twice a day after meals) may please be taken regularly. These are the products of The Himalayan Drug Co. Ltd (India) which contain all the herbs ( and a few more………..) which were quoted earlier. Mentat Tab. is more important, here, in this case. At first stage, an imbalance of two brain chemicals, dopamine and acetylcholine, is controlled. Continue with medicines and have faith in God.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 May I suggest that Medhavati of Divyayoga Farmacy is very good for all mental problems like depression, lack of concentration, extreme confusions, etc. They can be taken when yoga and pranayam don't work ordinarily; just to support other efforts. Then no other medication even ayurvedic may not be necessary. This is the experience of many as per their testimonials given in the monthly Yoga Sandesh.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Respected Mridulaji, Hari Om ! Epilepsy is a psychic syndrome. It is known as Apasmara in Ayurvedic terminology. Epilepsy is more likely to occur in young children or people over the age of 65 years, but it can occur at any time. Epilepsy is usually controlled, but not cured, with medication, although surgery may be considered in difficult cases. However, over 30% of people with epilepsy do not have seizure control even with the best available medications. Not all epilepsy syndromes are lifelong – some forms are confined to particular stages of childhood. Apasmara or Epilepsy is divided into four other types according to the predominance of the three doshas (Kapha, Pitta, and Vata) and their combination. It has been divided into Vata, Pitta, and Kapha and due to vitiation of all doshas. During the attack patient becomes unconscious, with jerky movements of the arms and legs., convulsions, grinding of teeth, moaning, crying, and hearing of nonexistent things. He may pass urine or stool and there may be froth at the mouth. In Vata type, frequent loss of consciousness and very quick regaining the same is main symptom. There may be stiffness, bulging of the eyes, weeping, and visualizing nonexistent things. In Pitta type, during the attack, face, eyes, nails and skin may become yellowish, greenish or blood stained. Sensation of burning after regaining consciousness is present many times. Kapha type – Loss of consciousness, and slow regaining after a long time is present. The patient falls to the ground heavily and there is profuse salivation at the mouth with froth. All these symptoms and attacks occur during full moon day and no moon day. Daily massage the soles and head of the patient with til (black sesame) oil and the patient should be kept busy with light physical work and interesting mental puzzles. This obviates any possibility of the patient brooding over any subject. Above all, ensure that the patient does not have any mental strain. The Ayurvedic treatment for patients suffering from this condition has a two-fold strategy: While rectifying the nervous system, it significantly works for strengthening the heart. There are several Ayurvedic medications. The commonly prescribed effective medicines are the following three. These are: Brihat-vata-kulantaka rasa, Vacha, and Brahmi. Brihat-vata-kulantaka rasa is a compound preparation. Its main ingredient is gold dust (bhasma) prepared in the Ayurvedic purification methodology. Brihat-vata-kulantaka rasa brings about fast results. The dose: The patient should consume 125 gram of Brihat-vata-kulantaka rasa mixed with honey thrice daily. Vacha is prepared from the plant that goes by the same name. It grows in the marshy places. One can find the natural growth of this species near streams and rivulets. The medication is prepared from the rhizome (root) of Vacha. The dose : One teaspoonful of Vacha is to be mixed with half-a-teaspoon of honey to take care of the acrid smell and make it palatable. Brahmi is prepared from the juice of the entire plant that goes by the same name. The Brahmi plant also grows like Vacha in the marshy areas. The reason why the juice and not the root of Brahmi is used for preparing the medication is that the leaves and stems of the Brahmi plant do not get dried easily. The Brahmi medication has a slight bitter taste. Hence, honey should be added to make it palatable for the patient. The dose: One teaspoon of Brahmi juice needs to be mixed with one teaspoonful of honey and given to the patient thrice daily. If you are in Hyderabad you may visit: www.yes4health.co.in <http://www.yes4health.co.in/> . As they claim, they have treated epilepsy very effectively through an integrated method including acupuncture / acupressure, breathing exercises, diet and lifestyle changes in Hyderabad. They also train the patient / parents /relatives / friends to prevent future attacks. Problem assessment is done by pulse diagnosis. The treatment period varies from six months to one year for complete control of the problem. With best wishes, Swami Brahmavidyananda Saraswati ___________ Brahmi is very good along with any thing else that one does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
