Ayurveda View on Autism - Ayurveda Treatment

Parents mostly come to know about the Autism affecting their kids when the kids show symptoms of learning disabilities. Many times, they have difficulty forming words and seem aloof. They show signs of repetitive behavior or lack of attention or difficulty focusing.

The most worrisome issue for parents is that the kids could display obsessive behavior or try to hurt themselves unknowingly. Such kids also show difficulty to digest and are susceptible to infections, chronic nasal symptoms, and respiratory infections.

Ayurveda, the traditional medical system which is a boon given to India and handed over through the ages from one generation to the other is known to have been in existence for over 5000 years. It can be called the codified knowledge of all those years, growing with knowledge and practical experience. Ashtangam Ayurveda Chikitsalayam is a leading practitioner of science. The hospital and medical college in Kerala grew out of a traditional family practice which was in continuance over many generations.

Ayurveda has many of the answers for the treatment of Autism and related issues that modern medicine has not been able to address completely or effectively. Today many hundreds of parents of kids have chosen to be treated and have sought solace in Ayurveda treatment and their conditions have been bettered partially or completely. As there were no codified records of modern Ayurveda practice and treatment in recent times related to Autism, Ashtamgam has taken it upon itself to codify the procedures and processes as well as maintain records of the many hundreds of patients who were treated at the hospital.

This has led to the development of a purely ayurvedic methodology for understanding, explaining and analyzing the conditions as well as strategizing a management program which can be customized to the particular ASD case. This has yielded significant results in a spectrum of broad and diverse issues faced on a daily basis when dealing with kids with ASD. Ashtamgam Ayurveda Chikitsalayam at Vavanoor at Koottanad in Palakkad District of Kerala has been effective in developing an effective protocol for management & treatment of ASD.
