Summary of article contents:
A stroke is defined as a sudden disruption in blood flow to the brain, which causes thrombotic, embolic, or hemorrhagic events that permanently damage brain tissue. Mood depression is a common and significant side effect of a stroke. Epidemiological studies have shown that more than 30% of stroke patients experience depression, either immediately or later after the stroke. The phrase 'Niyantah praneta cha manasa' is used in Ayurvedic writings to indicate that vata is the controller of manas. Both the pakshaghata (stroke) and the avsada (depression) caused by vata dosha vitiation fall under the category of vataja vyadhis in Post-stroke depression. Acharya Charaka stated in 'Bastihi Vataharanam' that basti is the most effective vata dosha remedy. The Basti drug first reaches Pakvashaya, the Vata dosha's main site. Thus, by acting on the primary site, Basti gains control of Vata throughout the body.
