Abstract

Add life into days not just days into life, Ayurveda being the most renowned traditional systems of medicine that has survived and flourished from ages till date, guides how to live a healthy life and treat various medical conditions and can be apply on current healthcare issues. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), also known as chronic diseases, Because of their long duration and slow progression.  Pakshaghata means paralysis of one half of the body, here impairment of Karmendriyas, Gnyanendriyas and Manas occurs. Pakshaghata can be correlated with hemiplegia which results from cerebrovascular accident - stroke. Talking about paralyzed patients’ poor prognosis, unfruitful efforts, physical dependency, lost hope and mental instability results in worsening condition. Paralyzed patients get affected medically, mentally, morally and socially, to make their life better and convenient here we are trying to explore ayurveda’s intervention in improving palliative care practices of paralyzed patients. Care that is aimed at control of these symptoms, whether or not the patient is undergoing ongoing disease-directed therapy to control the Pakshaghata, is thus a key feature of high-quality patient-centered care. The treatment of Pakshaghata is time consuming and expensive too. In Ayurveda Pakshaghata treatment schedule adopted according to the Avastha. Hence there is need for Ayurvedic approach to manage the condition by re-establish the circulation and improves quality of life of patient.
