Pakshaghata (Hemiplagia) is a major disabling disease, Ancient Indian classics describe it as a Vata-vikara that is always very difficult to treat because of dominance of Vata among the ‘Tridosha’. There are plenty of diseases that cause sensory or motor function disturbance causing disability. Ayurveda classifies these all diseases in Vata-disorders. The success rate of curing the disease Pakshaghata is very high in Ayurveda in comparison to modern science except the acute conditions and surgical requirements. Realizing the severity of the disease it was decided to evaluate the horoscopes of the patients of Pakshaghata along with Ayurvedic drug administration plan. Astrology and Ayurveda are closely related and interlinked to each other. Ayurveda and astrology have constituted a way of life in India. Astrological guidance was sought for all day to day work, including the collection of the herbs, drug administration etc. In astrological classics only Ayurvedic standard terminology has been used regarding the description of the diseases viz-Vata, Pitta and Kapha and Ayurvedic specific name of the disease, which are very easy to understand for Ayurvedic scholar but difficult for modern system’s experts. Considering all positive factors regarding the Ayurveda and Astrology (combinedly known as ‘Medical- astrology’) and the severity of the disease Pakshghata, the research project was selected. Probably this is first attempt made in the higher education and research stream.

The present astromedical study was worked out with following three objectives.

  • To analyze the planetary positions for Pakshaghata in the horoscope of the patients.
  • To draw a hypothetical astromedical etiopathogenesis of Pakshaghata.

To establish the co-relation of Ayurveda with astrology on the scientific basis Materials & Methods : The following material and methods were used in present research work.

Selection of the patient : 10 cases suffering from Pakshaghata (Paralysis) were selected from O.P.D. and I. P.O. wing of National Institute of Ayurveda Jaipur as well as S.M.S.
