Introduction
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are increasingly common neurodevelopmental conditions in children. While conventional medicine often focuses on symptom management, many parents are now exploring holistic approaches that consider both mind and body balance. Ayurveda, combined with neuro-psychology, offers promising pathways for long-term support.

Understanding Autism and ADHD
Children with Autism may face challenges in communication, social interactions, and behaviour. ADHD can affect attention, impulse control, and executive functioning. Both conditions are influenced not only by neurological patterns but also by gut health, sleep cycles, and sensory processing, making an integrative approach ideal.

Ayurvedic Principles in Neurodevelopmental Care
Ayurveda identifies three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—which govern physical and mental characteristics. Imbalances in these doshas may contribute to behavioural, cognitive, and emotional challenges. Therapies at Manovaidya are personalised according to the child’s dosha constitution to restore balance and support healthy brain development.
