Abstract

In Ayurveda, Stroke is compared with Pakshaghata due to many similarities in clinical presentation, which is made up of two words, i.e., Paksha(Half part of the body) and Aghat(loss of function). Pakshaghata is a Vata Dosha dominant, usually having loss of function of half side of the body or having weakness of half side of the body, and there may be or may not be an involvement of the face. Prakruti is the nature or character of an individual, which forms by dosha during the union of sperm and ovum and remains the same throughout life. Therefore, according to Prakruti, lifestyle changes play an essential role in treating and preventing further stroke complications.
