Pakshaghata (hemiplegia) is a condition that affects half side of the body. Vata Dosha regulates all the functions of the body. Vata Prakopa acts as a main cause for Pakshaghata. Vata Prakopa happens due to Marghavarodha and Dhatukshaya. According to the contemporary science, all the sensory and motor activities are controlled by the brain.
