Hello Roopashreeji,
My father has mild dementia since the past 3-4 years.
There aren't many psychologists/psychotherapists in Pune who can deal with this issue with less medication and more therapy.
Can you recommend good tips to help him deal with memory lapses?
If there is any mental health medication (Ayurveda or homeopathy), please do recommend.
Many thanks for your time.
With good wishes,
U

As you might be aware, some of dementia’s symptoms are not reversible.

What one can focus on is identifying its causes and preventing the dementia from getting worse.

Activities that tax the brain or prolonged depression and excessive fasting, especially cutting on good fats and sugar, are known to affect the brain’s health. At the same time, one needs to be careful with their intake if one has other ailments like blood pressure, diabetes, etc.

I would suggest you visit an Ayurveda treatment facility (Atmasantulan village near Pune is a good option) to get proper diagnosis and treatment.

At home, you can practise activities that relax the brain; gardening and being close to nature are especially beneficial. Pranayamas such as Bhastrika and Anulom Vilom will help relieve stress.
