AUTISM

Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a lifelong neurobiological disorder which becomes obvious in the early childhood of an individual. This disorder is characterized by difficulty in communication, improper social interactions, behavioural issues, lack of eye contact, repetitive body gestures, introversion etc which altogether can disrupt the neurobehavioural development of a child. The causes of this can be anything like genetic, viral infection, metabolic imbalance, fragile X syndrome, complications in pregnancy, consumption of alcohol during pregnancy, low birth weight, etc. Until now, no cure has been developed for Autism, however, treatment at the earliest can bring a vast difference in the child’s behaviour and development. In Ayurveda, Autism is considered as a condition that vitiates all the three doshas in a body. A holistic plan considering the body type and imbalance and addressing the problems with metabolism that includes customized diets, yogas, Shirodhara therapy and Thalapothichil therapy are a few of the treatments we recommend at Liv Ayurveda. Ayurveda offers some of the most effective herbal remedies for neurodevelopment.
