What Is Stroke in Ayurveda and Common Causes Of A Stroke
Posted February 23, 2023WHAT IS A STROKE?
A stroke is the damage to the brain caused by the interrupted blood supply to the brain or due to bursting of a blood vessel in the brain. It causes a series of symptoms that may cause lasting brain damage or long term disability in patients. A stroke requires immediate medical attention and any delay in getting a treatment might be harmful for the patient. In most of the cases, a patient is left with a long-term disability such as a paralysis on one or both sides of the body. A comprehensive recovery and rehabilitation is important to get your life back on track. Dr. Shyam Ayurveda is a leading Ayurveda center in Dubai that offers therapies that help regain your health and strength faster.
Based on the cause, there are two types of strokes namely:
- Ischemic stroke is caused due to the blockage of blood supply to the brain due to blood clots or build up of plague in the blood vessels.
- Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel bursts open or leaks in the brain and damages the blood cells.
COMMON CAUSES OF A STROKE:
- High Blood Pressure
- Unhealthy Lifestyle
- Atrial Fibrillation
- Diabetes Mellitus
- Stress
- Hereditary Factors

PARALYSIS:
The most common long term disability caused by a stroke is paralysis, the loss of the ability to control movement in some or all parts of the body. It is experienced usually on the side of the body opposite to the side of the brain that was damaged by the stroke. Based on the severity of the stroke, it may affect the face, a leg, an arm or the entire side of the body. Paralysis disrupts the daily life of an individual and impair bodily functions of the patient in many ways. A stroke rehabilitation involving physiotherapy and other forms of muscle and brain recovery therapies are recommended to a patient.

STROKE IN AYURVEDA
The Ayurvedic term for stroke is Pakshaghata and according to Ayurveda, it is caused due to the vitiation of the Vata Dosha. The vata dosha is believed to control the motor and sensory activities in the human body. The vitiation or elimination of the dosha tends to affect the tendons, ligaments and vesicles of the face and body. The blockage of the vata movements results in all the symptoms of stroke such as paralysis. In Ayurveda there are different therapies which are subjected towards restoring the vata flow in the body that provides quicker recovery to the patient. Ayurvedic medicines & treatments can help re-establish the motor and sensory functions of the brain.
