Pakshaghata is a Vataja nanatmaja vyadhi and one among the Mahavatavyadhi, according to Acharya Sushruta. Pakshaghata can be correlated with Hemiplegia, which results from cerebrovascular accident. Cerebrovascular disease includes some of the most common and devastating disorders: ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. A stroke is defined as an abrupt onset of a neurologic deficit that is attributed to a focal vascular cause. In this case, a 70-year-old female patient who is a known case of hypertension and diabetes mellitus presented with loss of strength in the right half of the body for ten months was diagnosed as dhatukshayajanya Pakshaghata and was treated with Sarvanga abhyanga, Nasya, Shastika Shali Pinda Sweda, Matra basti. Results: There was a significant relief from the signs and symptoms of Pakshaghata. The modified Rankin scale showed improvement from grade 4 to grade 2. Conclusion: Pakshaghata can occur due to margaavarana or dhatukshaya. Dhatukshayaja lakshanas were predominantly seen in this case and hence treated with Sarvanga abhyanga, Dashamoola Kashaya seka, Nasya and Matra basti as a brimhana chikitsa.
