Can Ayurvedic Remedies Improve the Condition of a Patient with Alzheimer's Disease? Nasya and Mentalin

We all enjoy watching young plant shoots, children at play and animals. There is something fascinating and unifying in their striving toward the light and their thirst for life.

Over the years, young shoots grow into mighty trees, and children become adults.
As a tree grows older, it begins to dry out.
The same happens to the human brain: over the course of life, the nervous system and brain tissues begin to “dry out,” and this may lead to Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia.
According to Ayurveda, this disease may arise from three main factors: an imbalance of the doshas, an imbalance of the mind, and karma (the result of previous actions). Since the transmission of nerve signals requires movement, many mental and cognitive disorders are caused by an imbalance of Vata dosha. Nevertheless, each case should be assessed individually to determine precisely which doshas are out of balance.
The main idea behind treating Alzheimer's disease with Ayurveda is based on the principle of Rasayana, a method of deeply nourishing brain tissues. Research indicates that Ayurvedic medicines that cross the blood-brain barrier may reach the affected area directly through the nasal route.
That is why we prefer Nasya as a therapeutic method for Alzheimer's disease.
Typically, a patient should complete a course of Nasya procedures with us lasting 15-21 days, and then continue taking Ayurvedic remedies such as Mentalin at home, together with yoga and breathing exercises - Pranayama.
According to a study conducted in the United States (Department of Neurology, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA, and The Buck Institute for Research on Aging, 8001 Redwood Boulevard, Novato, CA 94945, USA), the medicinal herbs in Mentalin, an Ayurvedic remedy developed and manufactured in Latvia, have demonstrated effectiveness in neurodegenerative diseases.
