Abstract

The Vatavyadhis include Pakshaghata is one. That resembles the medical disease known as a stroke in the cerebrovascular area. Ruja, Vakstambha, and other Lakshanas are among them. There are two varieties: Pittanubandha and Kappanubandha. Though Pakshaghata is a Vata Vyadhi and, it is not a Shuddha Vataja condition, according to Charaka's Nanatmaja Vatajavikaras. Susrutha and Madhava Nidana speak of Samsarga of Pitta and Kapha in detail. The fundamental reason of the illness is evident in all of the previously given theories, which link Raktadushti to Vata Prakopa. Cerebrovascular accidents rank third in the world in terms of causes of death, with acute stroke accounting for one out of every ten deaths. Acute stroke symptoms can be mistaken for Pakshaghata, one of the 80 varieties of Nanatmaja Vata Vikaras, because Kevalavata Vyadhis are hard to treat. The patients' physical disabilities persist even after the treatment, demonstrating the global potential of Ayurveda. As Kevalavata Vyadhis are difficult to heal, signs and symptoms of acute stroke can be misinterpreted as Pakshaghata, one of 80 forms of Nanatmaja Vata Vikaras. Ayurveda is demonstrating its global potential as people continue to experience physical disability even after receiving the most recent treatment. Thus, an attempt is made to illustrate the part played by Avapeedana Nasya in the administration of Pakshaghta.
