<p style='text-align:justify;'>}}Hemiplegia (paralysis or hemiparesis) is known as ‘pakshaghata’ or ‘pakshavadha’ in ([[Ayurveda]]). It is classified under 80 diseases due only to the vitiation of ([[vata dosha]]) (nanatmaja [[Vatavyadhi Chikitsa|vata vyadhi]]). There is complete or partial paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on one side of the body. The most typical cause of hemiplegia is cerebrovascular stroke. A stroke affecting the corticospinal tract results in hemiplegia. Other causes are trauma, diabetes, infections affecting the nervous system, neoplasms, demyelination disorders, congenital disorders, multiple sclerosis, parasomnia etc. As per [[Ayurveda]] pathophysiology, the vitiated [[vata dosha]] afflicts half of the body by causing desiccation of nerves or blood vessels (sira) and muscles or tendons (snayu). It finally results in the signs and symptoms of pakshaghata. [Cha.Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana]] 53-55] Rehabilitation is the primary treatment of hemiplegia to regain maximum function and quality of life. It includes both physical and occupational therapy. Ayurvedic management is vatahara (pacification of ([[vata dosha]])) in nature. It can improve motor functions by [[Vata dosha|vata]]<nowiki/>nulomana (proper elimination of flatus, faeces, urine etc., by proper functioning of [[vayu]] and balya (which provides strength) forms of medications.
