Abstract

FACIAL PARALYSIS: AN EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT BY PANCHAKARMA THERAPY

*Dr. Swapnil S. Singhai

ABSTRACT

Facial paralysis is the most common cranial neuropathy and may originate from various kinds of damage to the seventh nerve. The facial nerve plays a crucial role in emotional expression. Facial paralysis disfigures or distorts the facial appearance causes considerable functional, psychosocial and aesthetic disturbance to the affected individual. The peak incidence is between middle-old aged and is higher in men than women. In Ayurveda, the symptoms, etiopathogenesis resembles with Ardita. It is a disease characterized by morbid vata dosha causing forehead creases and naso-labial fold loss, incomplete closure of eye, tearing, dysarthia, hyperacusis, deviation of mouth to opposite side, excessive salivation, taste disturbances and smell loss. Ayurvedic classics explain the treatment as Navan Nasya, Murdha taila, Netratarpan, Nadi Swedana, Upanaha with Mansa Rasa and Shamanaushadhi. The purpose of this case study is to determine the panchakarma therapy is an effective and safe treatment option that can enhance the speed and degree of recovery, minimal risk and high patient acceptance in preference to other methods of treatment of facial paralysis. Treatment includes Navana Nasya with Mashadi Taila in dose of 8 drops followed by Iremedadi taila Kavala dharan, 5ml with warm water for seven days. Along with this oral medication of Mashabaladi kwath in the dose of 50ml two times a day was given for seven days. Despite the limitations of this case study, it demonstrates that the panchakarma therapy is an effective option in the treatment of facial paralysis.

Keywords: Ayurveda, Ardita, Facial paralysis, Panchakarma therapy.
