What happened

Mr. Nagalingam, 73, from Karaikudi, developed Parkinsonism-like symptoms alongside hydrocephalus. He first consulted a neurosurgeon in Bangalore but saw little improvement. He then came to AVN Arogya, Madurai, taking OPD medicines for about two months before being admitted for roughly 14 days. Treatment included classical Ayurvedic therapies such as oil massage, powder massage and nasal therapy (nasya). He reports partial improvement: reduced neurological symptoms, better walking ability and less difficulty writing by hand. He praised the hospital's calm natural setting, punctuality and attentive care.

In Nagalingam’s own words

Transcript of the video above.

My name is Nagalingam. I come from Karaikudi. My age is 73. For some time I have had symptoms like Parkinson's. I consulted a neurosurgeon in Vellore and all of that. I took it, but not much improvement showed. Only after that did they tell me to go to this AVN hospital. After that I came here, and coming here I saw Dr. Biju. He first gave that sort of thing in the outpatient department and I took it for about two months. Then he said, get admitted and stay about ten days and see. Then I have been here about fourteen days. This treatment is reasonably good. Even on Sundays they mix with you well. They do it very kindly. Their way is very good. That is, the punctuality and the attention are all good. That this hospital is set in this natural environment makes it a good, quiet setting. Since coming here they have given Ayurvedic treatment. That is, oil massage; they gave the oil massage. And then they applied powder massage and did that. They did Sirodhara. They gave various kinds of treatment like that. And it is good. These nerve complaints have all reduced to a reasonable extent. I could not walk this far here; it is only now, as I go, that I walk. When I wrote with my hand there would be a tremor; now that tremor has reduced somewhat.
