Clinical Overview
A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) results from a violent blow to the head, disrupting normal brain function. Following acute medical stabilization, Ayurveda offers crucial rehabilitation. We treat the lingering effects (cognitive fog, headaches, emotional instability) as Abhighataja Vata Vyadhi. Using neuro-restorative cranial therapies (Shirobasti, Nasya) and targeted Medhya herbs, we support neuroplasticity and cognitive recovery.
