subjectAbstract

Stroke is described in Ayurveda as Pakshaghata. It is a common medical emergency and the second leading cause of death worldwide. The present report describes the management of Hemiplegia in a 60 year-old male patient who presented with weakness in the left upper and lower limbs. He was treated with Ayurvedic medications along with Panchakarma therapies. The treatment protocol included Snehana, Swedana, and Mridu virechana, Matra basti and Nasya administered along with internal medications. Following the intervention, there was marked improvement in the functional ability of the left upper and lower extremities. By the end of the treatment period, the patient was able to walk without support.
