Treat Stroke with Traditional Kerala Ayurveda

While Ayurveda doesn’t offer a single ‘cure’ for stroke, it provides holistic practices that can complement conventional medical care and potentially support individuals living with this condition. Here are some key Ayurvedic approaches for Stroke:

Dietary modifications:

• Dosha-balancing foods: Consume foods specific to your unique dosha imbalance to promote balance and reduce symptoms.
