Ayurvedic Care for Paralysis Recovery

Paralysis, resulting from conditions like stroke or nerve damage, can drastically affect mobility and quality of life. Ayurveda offers hope and healing through therapies that rejuvenate nerves and improve circulation. Treatments such as Abhyangam, a medicated oil massage, and Padabhyangam, focusing on lower limbs, stimulate nerve endings and relieve stiffness. Pizhichil—an oil bath therapy—deeply nourishes tissues and calms the nervous system, while Sneha Vasti and Kashaya Vasti detoxify and balance Vata dosha, which is often aggravated in paralysis. Nasyam clears nasal passages and supports brain health. These treatments, when combined with dietary guidance and gentle physical therapies, not only improve movement and coordination but also enhance mental well-being. Personalized by dosha and patient condition, Ayurvedic care aims for gradual, sustained improvement, restoring strength and confidence in daily life.

Ayurvedic Massage, known as the Abhyanga or Abhyangam, is one of the most important dincharyas (daily regimen) mentioned in the classics for achieving good health and longevity. It includes a full body massage done using herbal oils that have several health benefits. Experts believe that many of the prevalent modern-day massage techniques are the modified forms of Abhyangam.

The health benefits of Abhyangham-massage are mentioned in the Ancient Ayurvedic text Ashtanga Hridaya. It is believed to prevent Ageing, reduce Fatigue, and also diminish the effects of aggravated Vata Dosha.

How is Ayurvedic Massage Performed?

Abhyangam can be performed in several classical positions. At Rudveda, it is done in 7 different classical positions with long flowing strokes. Some Ayurvedic centres perform it in 4 positions. The number of strokes used and amount of pressure applied during massage varies based on the individual’s requirements and ‘Prakriti.’ The herbal oil used for it is customised as per the patient’s Prakriti and presenting conditions. Ayurvedic Massage can be performed as a stand-alone therapy or as a precursor to other therapy regimen; it can be performed by a single therapist or by two therapists working in synchronisation.

What Are the Types of Ayurvedic Massage?

Ayurvedic massages use synchronised motions to stimulate nerve endings to increase blood circulation, thereby channelising early elimination of toxins from the body. The herbs in the medicated oils rejuvenate the tissue and play a vital role in the elimination of toxins and bring a feeling of wellbeing. The lukewarm herbal oil used in Ayurvedic massage stimulates nerve endings thereby improving peripheral blood circulation. The specific long flowing strokes improve the lymphatic flow and promote early elimination of toxins from the body.
