No: Hie, or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, is caused by lack of oxygen and blood flow to the brain. Restoring these nutrients prevents further damage, and allows the body to recover. However, the natural recovery process may further aggravate brain injury, and medical interventions such as hypothermia have been developed to reduce this secondary injury. I am not aware of natural remedies.
