Paralysis is a
medical emergency where a part of the body, or the complete body loses its
function. Being one of the leading causes of death all over the world,
paralysis can happen anytime due to a number of reasons.
Reasons
for Paralysis
The most common
reasons though, are uncontrolled high blood pressure, or some sort of head
injury. Paralysis leads to the sudden death of certain brain cells due to lack
of oxygen, when the flow of blood to the brain is lost due to blockage of an
artery to the brain. It is the most common cause of disability in adults.

According to the
science of Ayurveda, paralysis occurs when the Vata dosha aggravates in the
brain. Continuous exposure to stress, strenuous exercise, insomnia, or the
obstruction of channels present in the brain, cause the Vata dosha to
aggravate. Such aggravated Vata dosha can cause the nerves to dry up, leaving
adverse effects on the opposite side of the body.

Ayurveda manages
such cases with a lot of promise, and the earliest exposure to Ayurveda is the
key to speedy and healthy recovery. Along with the internal medication and
external Ayurveda treatments prove to be extremely impactful in handling such
situations.
These treatments
usually differ according to the patient’s condition. The various internal
treatments include making use of herbal decoctions, herbal pastes, herbal
pills, and some useful herbs such as Aswagandha, Brahmi, Rasona, Eranda, etc.
The external

Ayurveda treatment is clearly focused on restoring the flexibility and movement
of the affected parts, while decreasing the Vata, and strengthening,
