Abstract
Ardita is a disease with functional disturbances affecting the Uthamanga (head) and stands close with the symptoms of Bell's palsy. It is narrated as one among the Asheeti Vata Vikaras. It is a condition that develops due to Vata and Kapha Dusti. The present case study was conducted with an objective to find out the effective Ayurvedic management in Bell’s palsy. This report is on a case study of a 29 years old male patient who approached to Kayachikitsa OPD presenting with symptoms of deviation of mouth towards on left side, unable to chew from right side, difficulty in complete closure of right eye, since 1 day. After relevant examinations and screening it was diagnosed as Bell's palsy. This disease though self-resolving some cases remain partially recovered and some may be left with major facial dysfunction. So, the patient was admitted in Sri Kalabyraveshwara Swamy Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital for 10 days and this condition was managed through Panchkarama & palliative treatment. The patient was treated with Mukhabhyanga, Panasa Patra Sweda for 10 days and Nasya Karma for 8 consecutive days. There was no side effect observed during and after the treatment. The patient got complete relief in all symptoms without any residual weakness or deformity within two weeks which is much early than the self-resolving period of 6 months.
