Yes, gentle oil massage (Abhyanga) can be beneficial for people with paralysis — especially hemiplegia or post-stroke conditions — when done appropriately. Oil you can use are ashwagandha or Dhanwantharam Thailam Massage should be performed by trained physiotherapist and avoid doing over wound or pressure sore
Food for ryles tube Formula like:nsure, Resource, Isocal, Nutrison
Homemade- Boiled and blended rice + dal + vegetables (strain well) Oats/porridge with milk (blended and sieved) Mashed bananas or apple puree (well strained) Ragi malt (sieved) Blended boiled egg (if allowed, must be smooth and well-filtered) Add protein or milk powder to solution
Solution should be of butter milk consistency
For food that can be given orally if patient is able to swallow are Moong dal soup Rice gruel (kanji) Buttermilk Tender coconut water Vegetable soup Fruit juices (diluted and without pulp) Milkshakes with banana or papaya Boiled egg mashed with milk or curd (if tolerated) Mashed potato with ghee
Yes you can take curd twice in night as it soothes the body and help with bloating but curd should be fresh and of buttermilk consistency
Yes, gentle oil massage can support paralysis recovery if done under a physiotherapist’s guidance. For Ryle’s tube feeding, use liquidized high-protein foods like dal water, oats porridge, or prescribed nutrition formulas like Ensure. Curd rice can be given once at night if digestion allows, but avoid giving it twice with only a 4-hour gap.
Paralysis recovery requires protein-rich, well-balanced, and safe feeding. You can support healing with:
Blended homemade nutrition
Oil massage therapy
Physiotherapy
Emotional care and regular review
Prefer home made food. Egg White + Rice Water Feed: For non-vegetarian – boiled egg white blended with rice kanji
If the patient can swallow without coughing/choking, give:
Ragi malt with milk or water
Soft mashed fruits (banana, papaya)
Vegetable clear soup
Protein powder with milk (e.g., Prohance, Ensure, Threptin)
Rice gruel (kanji)
Buttermilk (thin and salt only) – during daytime only
