ABSTRACT
Hemiplegia is the condition of paralysis of either the left or right side of the body with loss of function. It is also associated with poor balance, speech deficit and loss of function which results from any injury to motor centers of the brain either due to ischemia or haemorrhage. The prevalence rate of hemiplegia is 9 cases per 1000 in global population. In Ayurveda this condition can be compared with Pakshaghaat due to much resemblance in their clinical symptoms. A Male patient aged 51 year diagnosed case of left side hemiplegia took the treatment 10 days of contempory science. With no previous improvement he was admitted at Government Akhandanand Ayurved hospital under Department of Panchakarma. As per Ayurvedic classics Acharyas have described the involvement of vitiated vata dosha in pathogenesis of pakshaghaat. Snehana, Swedana, Matra basti, udwartan, Nasya etc. are considered the best way to treat a patient of hemiplegia. The above said patient was given Panchakarma treatment along with internal Ayurvedic medicine. He got very significant improvement in all the subjective criteria helping to increase faith of the patient in Ayurveda shasra.
