## Restoring Motor Function After Brain Stroke
A cerebrovascular accident (stroke) damages motor cortex neurons, resulting in hemiplegia (weakness or total loss of voluntary movement on one side of the body), facial deviation, and slurred speech.
### The Siddha-Ayurvedic Neuro-Rehabilitation Framework
In traditional medicine, hemiplegia is classified as *Pakshavadham* (aggravated Vata in cranial pathways). The primary therapeutic window is the first 3 to 6 months post-stroke:
1. **Varmam Nerve Stimulation:** Ancient Siddha vital point manipulations stimulate dormant motor pathways and stimulate central nervous system plasticity.
2. **Ksheeradhara & Shirodhara:** Medicated herbal decoctions poured in a steady stream over the forehead calm neural agitation and promote cerebral blood flow.
3. **Abhyanga with Medicated Oils:** Specialized oils (such as *Maha Masha Tailam* and *Dhanwantharam*) nourish flaccid muscles and prevent joint contractures.
