ABSTRACT

Ekangavata is a type of Vatavyadhi categorized under Pakshaghata involving symptoms like karma kshaya and shoola in affected limb. Ekangavata can be correlated with Monoplegia. Monoplegia is a type of paralysis that affects one limb. Lumbar radiculopathy is a diffuse disease process that affects more than one underlying nerve root, causing pain, loss of sensation and motor dysfunctions in affected parts which usually needs to be corrected surgically. A 66 years old male patient presented at PDEA’s Ayurveda Rugnalaya with Atyayika symptoms of Ekangavata involving dakshin Paad karmakshaya, chimchimayana, chankramana asamarthata. Ayurvedic Shamana chikitsa along with Shodhan and Bruhan Basti showed significant results and patient could walk within 20 days. As a result, excellent outcomes from Ayurvedic treatment prevented the need for surgical intervention.
