Abstract

Pakshaghata (Hemiplegia) is a neurological disorder where  there is loss of sensation and motor deficit in one side of the  body . This is due to cerebral arterial thrombosis or cerebral  haemorrhage followed by infarction and oedema of brain tissue  following ischemia of brain. Clinical features include loss of  speech, sensory deficit, motor deficit in the affected side,  inability to walk freely and ataxia. After the acute condition,  i.e., usually after 7 days, Ayurvedic treatment can be started  which gives better results in these patients. In most of the  patients, there will be partial or complete motor recovery after 30 days of Ayurvedic treatment.  Some patients require prolong treatment for the recovery. Some patients do not recover from the  disease. The present paper highlights about the role of Ayurveda management in Pakshaghata (Hemiplegia).
