Ayurvedic Alzheimer’s Herbs That Work
Ayurveda’s 5,000 year old system for health and healing provides an incredible array of herbs to treat Alzheimer’s disease. This condition is characterized by a gradual degeneration of brain cells and has become quite common in older people. Ayurvedic herbs are being looked at as a powerful natural way to help minimize the problems associated with this disease.
Most people suffering from Alzheimer’s are senior citizens, and there are many risk factors that can be detected early on. High blood pressure, head trauma, high cholesterol, not exercising the brain, coronary artery disease, and genetics are the more well known risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease.
The warning signs are not always immediately apparent, but can be noted: gradual memory loss is the most common, poor cognitive skills also raise a flag, as well as dementia and personality problems.
Although there is no known cure for Alzheimer’s disease and the condition progressively worsens, there are a number of Ayurvedic herbs that can help slow the degeneration caused by the disease.
Guduchi, Pancha-Tikta-Ghruta Gugguli, Amalaki, and Musta are a few Ayurvedic herbs that are often used to treat Alzheimer’s. Herbs such as these treat brain damage and benefit brain cell functionality.
One of the most important things to do if you are at risk of developing Alzheimer’s is to practice routine brain exercises. This in conjunction with consistent use of Ayurvedic herbs can have a powerful regenerative and normalizing effect.
Padma, Guduchi, yashtimadhuk, Nelumbo nucifera, Vacha, Shankhpushpi, Convolvulus pluricaulis and several others are all excellent herbs for slowing down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. By enhancing the brain’s functionality, they provide stability over time with regular use.
Plenty of other Ayurvedic herbs also help keep the brain damage caused by Alzheimer’s to a minimum. There has not been a lot of modern scientific research about these herbs as of yet, but more and more researchers are taking interest in their potential.
There is a blend of Ayurvedic herbs available on the market that has had a number of good results, called AlzCare. This blend of five rejuvenating herbs helps the brain maintain oxygen and blood supply to keep it nourished and healthy. The herbs used in this blend are Ashwaganda, Arjun, Amalaki, Galo Satva, and Kutaj.
It is very important to get an early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease in order to effectively treat it as early as possible. These herbal treatments should begin (along with regular brain exercises) immediately after diagnosis to maximize the potential of leading a normal and healthy life.
