Holistic Therapies for Dementia

Currently, there is no known cure for Alzheimer's disease and few medications to treat it. As for the medications that do exist, effectiveness is quite varied. As a result, many care partners are seeking complementary or alternative therapies to treat their loved one's symptoms and behaviors.

In Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, these therapies can target cognitive, behavioral, emotional and psychological symptoms.

Complementary vs. Alternative

Generally, a complementary treatment is used in tandem with traditional medical care. For instance, someone might be taking Razadyne (galantamine) and CBD capsule supplement.

Whereas, an alternative approach typically describes a situation when a treatment is used in place of conventional medical care. For example, using acupuncture and Chinese medicine to treat Alzheimer's disease.

Each item listed below has scientifically demonstrated some amount of effectiveness in improving the symptoms that accompany dementia. However, it is important to note that every individual will respond differently and there are no guarantees of a therapy's effectivess. But it is often the case that care partners and individuals with dementia turn to complementary and alternative therapies with the aim of simply improving their quality of life.

IMPORTANT NOTE: As always, you should consult your physician before taking any new herbal supplements or vitamins since natural substances could significantly (and potentially negatively) interact with your current medications.

A vibrant and varied Activities program is at the heart of many nursing homes, long term care facilities, and assisted living centers. Activity Coordinators can, and often do, use some of the alternative therapies listed above as a part of their weekly Activities schedule.
