Hi! good morning Dr. Keerthi. My husband was diagnosed with cerebral atrophy on his left side. He was experiencing so much headaches before he was diagnosed. My family especially the ones that have cancer is undergoing ayurvedic treatment. I know that my husband s case is different from my family s case but will you please advise me on what to do with his atrophy and what medicine should i give him? and what kind of food should i give him. Does he have to undergo a diet?
Hello, Thanks for your query. Cerebral atrophy refers to mild shrinkage of brain, which normally happens as one grows older. The treatment comprises administering Chat Doctor.  Paracetamol is one such medication. Even atrial of hyperbaric oxygen therapy may also help significantly. You may take vitamin B12 supplements-methycobal 500 mcg once daily. You can also have physiotherapy sessions, speech therapy, regular exercises and daily walking. You will gradually recover over time, usually in a few months to one year time. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
