Aims And Objectives: To evaluate the combined effectiveness of Mashasaptaka Kwatha and Marsha Nasya with Mashasaptaka Taila in the management of Pakshaghata (Cerebrovascular Accident-infarct). Methods: Thirty diagnosed subjects of Pakshaghata (CVA due to infarct) were administered with Mashasaptaka Kwatha and Marsha Nasya with Mashasaptaka Taila for 7 days. The data of patients was recorded before and after treatment using an elaborate proforma. Assessment was done based on the primary and secondary outcome measures. For statistical analysis, Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, McNemar tests were used. Results: In this study it was found that there was statistically significant relief in the symptoms of Pakshaghata (Cerbrovascular accident-infarct). Conclusion: Relief in the symptoms was achieved by the drugs having properties such as Vatakaphahara, Anulomana, Brimhana, Srotoshodhana etc. Hence, Mashasaptaka Kwatha and Marsha Nasya with Mashasaptaka Taila for 7 days is effective in the management of Pakshaghata (Cerebrovascular accident-infarct).
