Autism Program

Autism program

We offer a program that combines Ayurveda and Siddha principles to manage the symptoms of ASD. Our ASD clients range from ages 2 to adults, with majority of them in younger pediatric age group.

The initial 45 minutes consultation includes the client and the parent/s/caregiver and will involve a thorough Ayurvedic examination of the client. We offer a loving office atmosphere with soothing acoustics and try to make your visit as safe and comfortable as possible.

Follow-up visits are spaced 6 weeks to 3 months apart on a case by case basis.

We encourage feedback via email, phone calls and make all effort to answer any concerns that may arise between visits.

NOTE

Due to COVID restrictions, and for patients who cannot travel to the center we offer online consultations via Skype, although for the initial visit we prefer an in person visit.

Our approach to the management of ASD is 3 pronged

Varma Kalai ( 5 minutes @ bedtime)

Varma Kalai, ( similar to marma in Ayurveda) the art of vital points is a distinct branch of the ancient Siddha system of medicine involving the manipulation of energy points on the body to heal, and/or revive from injury.

The potential application of Varmam points in ASD is to balance the energy flow between the left and the right lobes of the brain, between the brain and the spine, thus regulating sensory inputs and motor outputs.

We will demonstrate the points on the client and train the parent/s/caregiver in the application of these points.
