It is a neuro- degenerative disease characterized bycognitive dysfunction, such as orientation, memory, learning, andcalculation. Most common presentation is slow ly progressive forgetfulness of recent events. According to Alzheimer Related Society of India (ARDSI), for the year 2010, an estimated 3.7 million Indian people aged over 60 have dementia of which 2.1 million are women and 1.5 million are men. The prevalence of dementia increased steadily with age and higher prevalence was seen among older women than men. However, in Ayurveda, it may be correlated with Buddhi-Smriti Hrasa. There are three aspects of mental ability i.e. Dhi (process of acquisition / learning), Dhriti (process of retention), Smriti (process of recall). Any disturbances in this aspect resulted in loss of mental ability. Diagnosis of dementia of an individual is associated with proper neuropsychological assessment and evaluation. Management of dementia requires a multi disciplinary approach. Authorities of Ayurveda have noted some preventive strategies for dementia, such as Sirasneha, Medhya rasayana, Brinhana nasya, Yapana vasti, Satvavajaya ,Svarna & Rajatha kalpas (gold and silver nanoparticles), Achara rasayana(rejuvenating conducts), Hitopadesh, Yoga, Satvika ahara, Naishthiki chikitsa. Finally the study reveals that with increasing life expectancy dementia and other age related neurodegenerative diseases become a global concern. Ayurveda may offer some preventive measures to combat with this devastating disease. | ||
