I have dealt with stroke very closely My husband had one 14 years ago He was 55
then. It was right sided.His speech was gone. my mother dabbled in Biochemic
medicines and ayurvedic ones. she had a no of books that told me that it happens
due to malnutrition. So nutrition taken in the form of food helps. this food has
to be balanced.For his brain I gave him 5 each of pistachios, almonds,
cardamom,dried grapes called munakka in hindi these are bigger grapes with
seeds.and five of black pepper corns.
This is one dose. could also be given twice a day. Brahmi works wonders on the
brain. a very miniscule quanti ty of bach is also good for brain and speech.
stroke makes the body very cold so all the things that are cold even in nature
should not be taken. like banana, cucumber, tea,coffee is not cold but tea and
coffee both should be avoided. water melon all fruits except apples, cheeku and
papaya are allowed.
Vegetable soups are good.
 
 There is one lentil called the horse gram or  Kulthi in hindi, thick soup of
that is very good for a stroke patient. 
Pranayaams should be learnt from a well known person. This will definitely cure
any problems. Swami Ramdev is doing great work in this field. 
physiotherapy is very helpful.
one can try some accupressure or reflexology. i learnt a new science  like this
with his ailment and have successfully used it for even averting operations on
my children.
I am writing what all I did. I did everything that any one told me so you may
verify on your own before taking any thing from here. as I am not a doctor but
through books and family and friends I learnt and used. That time we did not
have internet.
After that I started doing my own researches and worked on them. i think we
alone can help ourselves thebest as we know exactly what is wrong with us.
i took great care of his nutrition. Do not take anything that produces toxins,
avoid tea, coffee. alcohol, aerated drinks ,sugar, chocolate, white rice, white
flour. Take multigrains, roughage. keep the bowel clean. to ensure that for a
stroke patient, it is said that they should take, one tea spoon triphala churan
with warm water at night, or 1 table spoon ful of castor oil, and one teaspoon
of dry ginger powder mixed in milk at night 2-3 times a week. both these are not
habit forming. 
Keeping a happy disposition is very essential. one should engage oneself in some
kind of work or hobby.
All the best to you. You may google for home remedies or herbal remedies for
your problem and you will get lots of pages telling you what ou need to know.
