What is Dementia?

What is Dementia?

Dementia is known as a Vata disorder or PranaVata in Ayurveda. Dementia is a condition of memory loss that impacts problem-solving, language and other thinking abilities. Lack of normalcy and abnormal movements in the body is influenced by Vata. No specific or single cause affects the functions of the brain or its cells.

Several drugs and remedies are prescribed to reduce abnormal cognitive decline. However, there is no effective pharmacological treatment that is free of side effects. This is why we brought you the Ayurvedic treatment for dementia. Herbal medications or traditional medicines like Ayurveda are known to facilitate and bring a balance between your mind, brain, body and environment naturally without any side effects.

Research and studies have found that Ayurvedic therapy has 600 herbal formulas and 250 single-plant remedies that can relieve dementia in patients. It also comprises natural and holistic treatments that improve vitality. Ayurvedic Rasayana herbs are known as rejuvenating elements. These herbs strengthen the brain cells. At Ayur Bethaniya, we have proven ayurvedic therapies will enhance memory and decrease stress to combat dementia.

Causes of Dementia

Know The Triggers: Causes of Dementia

Book Now
The causes of Dementia can be prevented by Ayurvedic treatments. The traditional ayurvedic techniques include antioxidant-rich botanical extracts and brain-nourishing herbs. We use these to aid in cognitive well-being. We also follow a technique called Panchakarma. It is a detoxification therapy in Ayurveda for dementia management. It involves completely cleansing the toxins that contribute to cognitive impairment out of the body.

Ageing

This factor is not a direct cause but is the greatest risk factor for dementia. Once people start ageing, the incidence of dementia increases. As the ageing progresses, the dementia stages also increase with complex symptoms.

Neurodegenerative Diseases

Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease lead to dementia. These diseases will progress and damage your brain cells. Neurodegenerative diseases such as frontotemporal dementia increase the level of abnormal protein build-ups in the brain.

Genetics

Dementia is also caused by genetic mutations, which increase the risk of developing symptoms. It is usually noticed in patients suffering from familial Alzheimer's disease or frontotemporal dementia.

Vascular Factors

Problems with blood circulation in the brain, such as small vessel disease, strokes and microinfarcts. It will impair cognitive function and contribute to dementia. Vascular dementia is caused by various conditions that interrupt the oxygen supply and blood flow to the brain.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Head injuries are another major cause of dementia. It happens due to repeated concussions and severe trauma, which increases the risk of developing dementia when the individual gets older.

Lifestyle and Environmental Factors

Poor lifestyle choices also contribute to dementia. This includes smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol and unhealthy diet. These will contribute to vascular problems and increase the risk of dementia. In addition, exposure to environmental toxins or pollutants also leads to dementia.
