Abstract

Vata is the chief controller among the causative factors of disease and Pakwashaya (Intestine) has been considered Vata’s seat. Basti Karma is the best treatment modality in dealing with Vata Vikara and other Vata dominant Vikara (disorders) as Sneha is the best Dravya to control Vata. Matra Basti, a type of Sneha Basti, is considered safe and effective and can be given to children safely. Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the major challenges with no treatment so far. Ayurveda is proving quite promising in improving the quality of life among children with CP. In such conditions, it is need of time to standardize and understand different procedures which can be applied in the management of cerebral palsy. The present study constitutes the probable mode of action of Matra Basti in general and w.s.r. to CP in particular and also considers the optimum dose as per age of the child.
