Abstract

Nidana (etiology) is defined as the factors, which cause the disease. Treatment becomes easier by knowing the causative factors of a disease. In this light, it has been clearly stated that ‘Nidana Parivarjanam’ is one type of Chikitsa. With the review of Ayurvedic literature it is evident that no specific aetiological factor has been described separately for Pakshaghata. Disorders of Vata, including Pakshaghata have been classified as Nanatmaja Vata Vyadhi, so all the factors vitiating Vatain the body are likely to be the root cause of Pakshaghata. Hence, the general causative factors of Vata Vyadhi or factors vitiating Vata Dosha in the body may be regarded as the aetiological factors of Pakshaghata as well. In this article etiological factors for Pakshaghata (Stroke) are analysed.
