What is a Stroke?
A stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and bleeds, or when there’s a blockage in the blood supply to the brain. The rupture or blockage prevents blood and oxygen from reaching the brain’s tissues.
A stroke may be caused by a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (haemorrhagic stroke). Some people may experience only a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain (transient ischemic attack, or TIA) that doesn’t cause permanent damage.
Types of Stroke:
- Ischemic Stroke – caused by a blockage in an artery supplying blood to the brain.
- Hemorrhagic Stroke – caused by bleeding in the brain due to a ruptured blood vessel.
- Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) – also known as a mini-stroke, where symptoms are temporary.

Ayurvedic Perspective on Stroke (Pakshaghata)
In Ayurveda, stroke is known as Pakshaghata, which means paralysis of one side of the body. It is primarily caused by a vitiation of Vata dosha, the bio-energy responsible for movement and neurological function. When Vata becomes aggravated due to improper diet, stress, trauma, or lifestyle factors, it disrupts the flow of prana (life force) and impairs nerve function.
