What is Paralysis? Disability caused by the damaged nervous system

The partial or complete loss of strength and control over a muscle or group of muscles in a body part is known as paralysis. Several circumstances, such as spinal cord injury, strokes, and diseases such as multiple sclerosis, can cause it. But, most of the time, this isn’t because of a muscular condition. Instead, it’s likely due to a malfunction in the nerve cell chain connecting your body to your brain and back. Paralysis can be temporary or permanent, depending on the cause and severity of the condition. Treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause and may include physical therapy, medication, or surgery.

Paralysis in Ayurveda?

Pakshaghat, one of the Vata vyadhis described in the ancient Indian medicine texts

According to Ayurveda, paralysis is a neurological condition termed Pakshaghata in the Ayurvedic language. Pakshaghata is caused by an imbalance in Vata Dosha. Vata is one of the three doshas in Ayurveda, vata is in charge of controlling physiological processes like respiration, blood flow, and nerve impulses. Moreover, symptoms like anxiety, constipation, and joint discomfort can result from a vata imbalance. In Ayurveda, paralysis is most prominently included under the category of Vata vyadhi diseases because it is primarily associated with aggravated Vata dosha. It is believed that when Vata is aggravated predominantly in the region of the brain due to reasons like stress, sleep deprivation, or obstruction of srotas in the brain, paralysis might develop due to the detrimental effects of aggravated Vata on the nerves.
