Ayurveda is the oldest study of medicine and has proved to be very effective when it comes to managing and treating those affected by autism. The earlier an autistic person resorts to Ayurveda, the more effective it is.

Ayurveda in Curbing Aggression

Autism includes heightened aggression and aversion from social interaction due to a neurological condition that impairs the functioning of the brain. Not all autistic patients are violent towards others but may express their frustration by self-harm and emotional outbursts.

One can curb these emotional outbursts by taking herbal supplements. An Ayurvedic herb or medicine called Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) which is known for its, anti-anxiety, neuroprotection, and antioxidant properties can help considerably.

Regular massages using sandalwood rose, lavender, and gotu kola oils are also very calming and relieving because it stimulates the blood flow and neuronal responses. Ayurvedic Massage also helps in increasing eye contact and social relatedness, less stereotypical behavior, and improved sleep.
