Ayurveda Perspective on Autism
In Ayurveda, autism is often viewed as a condition arising from an imbalance in Vata dosha, which plays a key role in regulating the nervous system, sensory processing, and communication. When Vata is disturbed, it may manifest as hyperactivity, delayed speech, difficulty focusing, and disrupted sleep patterns. Alongside Vata, imbalances in Pitta and Kapha doshas can also influence behavioral and developmental challenges. Ayurvedic care focuses on restoring harmony among the doshas, strengthening the nervous system, and encouraging the child’s natural growth and development.
