SWARNAPRASHANA

Swarnaprashana is an ancient Ayurvedic technique of administering Gold, Cow’s ghee and Honey along with Ayurveda herbs like Vacha, Brahmi, Sakhpushpi , Ashwagandha in the form of medicated drops to children. It is effective in enhancing the immune system, promoting overall health, and boosts intellect.

Enhancing Memory and Intelligence: It promotes overall brain development, memory retention, and cognitive functions, thereby potentially boosting intelligence.

Improving Digestion: Swarnaprashan may aid in improving digestion and assimilation of nutrients, leading to better overall health.

Detoxification: Some proponents suggest that Swarnaprashan helps in detoxifying the body, removing toxins and promoting overall well-being.

Improving Appetite: It may stimulate appetite in children, ensuring they receive adequate nutrition for growth and development.

Promoting Growth and Development: Swarnaprashan is believed to support physical growth and development in children, including bone development and muscle strength.

Preventing Allergies: Some traditional beliefs hold that Swarnaprashan can help prevent allergies and allergic reactions in children.

Balancing Doshas: According to Ayurveda, Swarnaprashan helps in balancing the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—contributing to overall health and well-being.

CEREBRAL PALSY

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders that affect movement and muscle tone or posture. It's caused by damage to the developing brain, usually before birth. The severity of CP can vary greatly, from mild cases where the person might only have a slight limp, to severe cases where the person might be unable to walk or require extensive assistance with daily activities.

Symptoms of cerebral palsy can include:

Muscle stiffness or tightness (spasticity)

Poor coordination and balance

Tremors or involuntary movements

Delayed development in reaching milestones such as crawling, walking, or speaking

Difficulty with fine motor skills, such as writing or using scissors

Problems with vision, hearing, or speech

Intellectual disabilities or learning difficulties (though not always present)

Management of cerebral palsy typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including Ayurveda therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and some medications for overall development.

MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY

Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a genetic disorder characterised by progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. It's caused by mutations in genes responsible for the structure and function of muscles, leading to muscle degeneration and weakness over time. There are several types of muscular dystrophy, each with its own specific genetic mutation and pattern of muscle weakness. Symptoms of muscular dystrophy typically appear in childhood, although they can sometimes develop in adulthood. These symptoms may include muscle weakness, muscle wasting, difficulty walking, frequent falls, and difficulty with motor skills. In some cases, MD can also affect the heart and respiratory muscles, leading to complications such as cardiomyopathy and respiratory failure.

ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning and development. It commonly begins in childhood and can persist into adulthood.

Some common symptoms include difficulty sustaining attention, being easily distracted, trouble organising tasks and activities, excessive restlessness, impulsivity (acting without thinking), difficulty following through on instructions, and frequent forgetfulness.
