Post-stroke Ayurvedic rehabilitation to restore motor function, speech, and independence.
Post-Stroke Recovery — Structured Ayurvedic Protocols for Neurological Rehabilitation”
Stroke (Paralysis) — Overview & Ayurvedic Understanding
Stroke causes sudden loss of function due to brain-tissue damage from vascular events. Early and sustained rehabilitation determines outcome. Our integrated programme combines Ayurvedic neuro-therapies with structured physiotherapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy.
Symptoms of Stroke (Paralysis)
Sudden weakness or paralysis on one side
Speech disturbance (aphasia, dysarthria)
Facial droop
Visual-field loss
Balance and coordination problems
Cognitive changes
Causes & Risk Factors for Stroke (Paralysis)
Ischaemic stroke (most common) — clot blocking blood vessel
Haemorrhagic stroke — bleeding into the brain
Risk factors: hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, smoking
Cardioembolic sources
Stroke (Paralysis) — Surgery vs Non-Surgical Ayurvedic Treatment
Why Non-Surgical Ayurvedic Treatment Works for Stroke (Paralysis)
Stroke recovery is non-surgical. Ayurvedic therapies work alongside standard stroke care. The earlier we start, the better the functional outcome.
When Surgery Is the Right Path
Acute haemorrhagic stroke may need neurosurgical intervention. Our role is post-acute rehabilitation.
We maintain transparent referral relationships with leading orthopaedic and specialist surgeons.

WhatsApp for Help Choosing →After an initial consultation, the physician advises the right pathway for you. Some conditions can be supported with outpatient medicines and home guidance, while many neurological conditions respond best to structured visiting therapy or an inpatient rehabilitation programme.
Treatment cost
We do not publish a price for stroke (paralysis) treatment, and that is deliberate. AVN Arogya does not use fixed protocols — the treating physician designs each programme individually, and it is that protocol which determines the cost.
It is only at the end of your consultation that the physician can say which kind of care you actually need:
- Outpatient — medicines to take at home, with review visits. The least involved option, and for many people it is enough.
- Visiting therapy — you come in for therapy sessions over a period and return home the same day.
- Inpatient admission — you stay with us for intensive daily therapy. Here the estimate also depends on the duration the physician recommends and the room category you choose.
Once those are decided we give you a written estimate for your own plan, including what your insurance is likely to cover. Quoting a figure before the assessment would mean quoting one that may not apply to you.
