ROLL OF PANCHKARMA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PAKSHAGHAT W.S.R TO HEMIPLEGIA
Hemiplegia is characterised by increasing loss of function or weakening in one or both legs. Whether caused by ischaemia or haemorrhage, injuries to the brain's motor centres can lead to loss of function, trouble speaking, and poor balance. In the world, there are nine cases of hemiplegia for every 1000 persons. This illness's clinical manifestations are similar to those of Ayurvedic Pakshaghata. According to Acharya Charaka, Pakshaghata is a Vatavyadhi, which means that vitiated Vata Dosha contributes to its pathophysiology. Since Pakshaghata is Nanatatmaja Vaat Vyadhi, it is recommended to combine Panchakarma treatments with oral ayurvedic drugs. Hemiplegia (Paikshaghata), a disorder in which one side of the body is paralysed, can be treated with panchakarma, an Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation treatment. As per Ayurvedic texts Acharyas have highlighted the participation of vitiated Vata Dosha in pathogenesis of Pakshaghaat. Hemiplegia patients are thought to respond well to Snehna, Swedena, Mridu Virechana, Basti, Nasya, etc.
