Shirodhara for Dimentia
My 73 years old Grandmother was diagnosed with Dimentia in February 2017. Early she only had problems in remembering dates but since November 2018 She became bit aggressive like arguing unecessarily & is scared to sit alone. We had consulted a Psychiatrist & a Neurologist in MUMBAI but there is no improvement. When she started eating Alopathy medicines prescribed by neurologist she started having acidity & vomiting problem.So in December 2019 when we went to kerala for a family function on the recommendation of few relatives we took her to a Ayurveda doctor in Kerala & he recommeded SHIRODHARA. So is SHIRODHARA good for Memory loss problem????? Kindly suggest
