ABSTRACT

Pakshaghata is the major vyadhi of Vata dosha. In pakshaghata, the patient usually presents with a loss of function or weakness in one half of the body. The diseases pakshaghata, paksavadha, and Ekangaroga are all synonyms. Pakshaghata is a neurological condition characterized by an inability to move a set of muscles on either the left or right side of the body. Hemiplegia is usually the result of a cerebrovascular problem or stroke, and most cerebrovascular diseases exhibit themselves with the emergence of a focused neurological deficiency. Pakshaghata is mentioned in the Charaka Samhita, the Susruta Samhita, and the Madhava Nidana. The patient in this case study is a 57-year-old man who has weakness in his right half of his body and is unable to walk. He was a patient who presented with acute infarct noted in the pons on Left Side in M.R.I. brain. The Ayurvedic diagnosis of Pakshaghata was made and treated using Ayurvedic medicine, which included procedures such as virechana, shodhana chikitsa, and shamana chikitsa (oral medications), as well as ekangvir rasa, Hingwashtakchurna, Jivhadi kadha, Gandharva haritaki choorna, and others. At various stages physiotherapy was used. At the conclusion of the treatment, the upper and lower extremity functions had improved the most. In terms of speech and mobility, the patient made a spectacular recovery.
