What Is Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of neurological disorders affecting movement, muscle tone, and posture. It results from damage to the developing brain, often before, during, or shortly after birth. Cerebral palsy is a lifelong condition. The disorder is non-progressive, i.e., it does not worsen over time. Ayurvedic treatment for cerebral palsy uses potent CP Ayurvedic herbs to treat the symptoms. Additionally, lifestyle changes are recommended for better quality of life in the CP patients.
