Cerebral palsy (CP) poses significant challenges, and this study explores Ayurvedic therapies' effectiveness in managing spastic CP in children. CP results from non-progressive brain disturbances during early development and presents various clinical manifestations, including spasticity, dyskinetic movements, and more.2 Ayurveda, while lacking an exact match for CP, sees it as a Vata-dominant condition affecting the entire body.3 All 30 children were given Ashwagandha Ghrita4 orally with Ksheerabala Taila Abhyanga and Matra Basti. The duration of treatment was 90 days. The results revealed marked and moderate improvements in 66.67% and 23.33% of patients, respectively, emphasizing the potential of Ayurvedic treatments in enhancing the quality of life and functional capacities of children with spastic CP.
