Paediatric neurological disorders (PNDs) are a diverse group of conditions affecting the developing nervous system, leading to significant morbidity and long-term health complications. These disorders include epilepsy, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and developmental delays. While conventional medical treatments have made notable strides in managing these conditions, the role of traditional medicine, specifically Ayurveda, in the management of PNDs remains understudied. Ayurveda, with its holistic approach, uses herbal formulations and treatment modalities such as Panchakarma, Rasayana therapy, and Shodhana (detoxification), which are believed to address the root causes of neurological disturbances. This article aims to explore the potential of Ayurvedic therapies, focusing on herbal formulations and therapeutic practices, in managing Paediatric neurological disorders. Through a review of existing literature and clinical applications, the paper highlights various Ayurvedic herbs, such as Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), and Shankhapushpi (Convolvulus pluricaulis), that have shown promising effects in alleviating symptoms associated with PNDs. Additionally, the paper delves into the Ayurvedic treatment modalities, examining their mechanisms of action, safety, and efficacy in Paediatric populations. The research emphasizes the integration of Ayurvedic therapies with modern medical approaches, providing a complementary treatment strategy for managing PNDs. By adopting this integrative approach, the research underscores the importance of exploring alternative therapies in Paediatric neurology to offer better management options for children with neurological conditions.
