Ayurvedic Herbs Used to Treat Dementia

What is Dementia?
Dementia generally refers to memory loss and is quite a common condition. The risk of developing dementia increases as one ages, and the condition usually occurs in people over the age of 65.

Causes of Dementia
The major risk factor of dementia is old age. But long-term consumption of western junk diet and physical and cognitive inactivity can also impact the memory. Epigenetic and environmental factors can also play a role.

Other risk factors for dementia include cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems. Excessive alcohol consumption, social isolation, traumatic brain injury can also cause dementia.

Dementia in Ayurveda
This condition is not mentioned as a separate disease entity in Ayurvedic classics and is considered as a natural part of ageing, but sign and symptoms of dementia can be understood in details as per Ayurvedic concepts of cognition.

A resembling term used for dementia in Ayurveda is Smritivibhransha (Smriti – memory; vibhransha – destruction). When on account of the psyche (Manas) being clouded with obsession and delusion i.e., Rajomohavritatmanah, the retention of true knowledge is destroyed leading to loss of memory (smriti), rational thinking (dhee) and retaining power of the mind (dhriti). This state is called the derangement of memory (Smriti).

It needs early detection and treatment.
