According to Ayurveda, pakṣāghāta is quite similar to hemiplegia, a neurological disorder that causes paralysis of one side of the body, often after a stroke. According to Ayurveda, this ailment is a sign of vitiated Vāta dosha, specifically affecting the Majjā Dhātu (nervous tissues), Māṃsa (muscles), and Snayu (ligaments). Mustādi Yāpana Basti, a medicinal enema made with Musta (Cyperus rotundus) and other Vata-pacifying components, is one of the Panchakarma treatments recommended for degenerative and chronic neurological disorders .This critical review focusses on the neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and rejuvenating aspects of Mustādi Yāpana Basti in order to assess its therapeutic effectiveness in patients with Pakṣāghāta. When paired with other supportive treatments like Abhyanga (massage) and Swedana (sudation), Yāpana Basti not only helps restore neuromuscular function but also significantly improves quality of life and motor coordination, according to clinical evidence from published studies and traditional Ayurvedic literature. The absence of extensive randomised control studies, problems with formulation standardisation, and variations in patient responses are some of the drawbacks, however. The study comes to the conclusion that while Mustādi Yāpana Basti exhibits potential as a supplemental therapy in the rehabilitation of hemiplegia, further research using integrative approaches is necessary to confirm its effectiveness and provide standardised treatment protocols.
