Led by Dr. Ankush Garg, our Ayurvedic mental wellness clinic offers a comprehensive approach to treating autism, focusing on nourishing the brain, balancing doshas, and promoting holistic healing.

Ayurvedic Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis:

In Ayurveda, autism and ADHD is diagnosed as Unmada, with differential diagnosis based on doshas—Vata-Kaphaj Unmada, Pitta-Kaphaja Unmada, and Vata-Kaphaj Unmada. Our treatment approach takes into account the individual constitution (prakriti) and imbalances (vikriti) of each child, ensuring personalized care and targeted interventions.

To eliminate toxins and unwanted neurochemicals (Ama- dosha) from the brain, we use herbal oils for nasya (nasal administration).

Observable changes such as improved language, movement, cognitive skills, and behavioral patterns can be noticed within the first month. However, it may take 3-4 months of continued treatment to see significant symptomatic changes. While we cannot guarantee specific outcomes, we have observed that with consistent treatment, children can experience improvements of approximately 30-40% within the first year, 60-70% within the second year, and significant progress towards leading a more normal life after 3-4 years of continued treatment.
