Abstract

Ardita is a condition that developes due to excessive aggravation of Vata and causes distortion of face. Facial palsy the paralysis of facial nerve also affects the movement of facial muscles and shows similar symptoms. So we can almost correlate these diseases. Allopathic management of facial palsy includes the use of steroids and some anti-inflammatory drugs only, with a chance of recurrence and side effects. Present study reveals that Ardita can be managed successfully with ayurvedic treatments with lesser chance of recurrence and without any side effects.
