Down syndrome
My sister is experiencing down syndrome from past 45 yrs. I know there is no treatment for it but want to know any medication whether Ayurveda , homeo or English medicine could improve her body nerves system. She eats but still her nervous system is too weak.
Kindly appreciate your response.
My father tried all the possibilities when she was a child but no luck. Now technology advanced a lot and want to check any treatment is possible for the genetical disorders.

She can be treated symptomatically. Brain development does not happen at this age.
Occupational therapy and rahab could be given. It would be difficult for me to comment without knowing her present condition and how dependent she is.
