In Ayurveda, children’s muscular disorders are often linked to imbalances in the Vata dosha, which governs movement and the nervous system. These disorders can manifest as muscle weakness, stiffness, spasms, or developmental issues affecting motor skills.
Ayurvedic approach to treating children’s muscular disorders includes:
- Panchakarma Therapies: like Abhyanga (oil massage) with specific herbal oils, SSPS, Yapanabasti to improve muscle strength and flexibility.
- Herbal Formulations: Use of age-appropriate Rasayanas nourish muscles and improve overall health.
- Special Therapies: Treatments like Upanaha (herbal poultices) or Parisheka (warm medicinal decoction pouring) can be adapted for children to alleviate muscle stiffness or pain.
- Lifestyle Recommendations: Yoga, specific exercises, and breathing practices that enhance muscular strength and flexibility, tailored to children’s needs.
These therapies focus on balancing Vata and promoting healthy muscle development in children.
