Conceptual study on Nidana of Pakshaghata
Abstract
Health and ailing, pleasure and pain, ease and disease are inborn properties of human life, centuries and centuries succeeded in struggle between man and disease. The infliction of pain, either on mind or body or both is what Vyadhi means. Pakshaghata is one such Vyadhi where mind and body both are inflicted. Pakshaghat can be correlated with hemiplegia (due to hypertension). Hemiplegia is paralysis of one half of the body i.e. upper & lower limbs of the same side. It may be associated with weakness of facial muscle on the same side (ipsilateral hemiplegia) or opposite side (contralateral hemiplegia). Here in the present study an effort is made to better understand nidana of Pakshaghata (hemiplegia).
