Abstract

Background: Kampavata described in Ayurveda resembles Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with tremors, rigidity, and postural instability. Objective: To evaluate Ayurvedic management in a case of Kampavata (Parkinson’s Disease). Method: A 64-year-old male with resting tremors, bradykinesia, and rigidity was treated with Yograj Guggulu, Punarnava Guggulu, Rasayana formulations, Abhyanga (Ksheerbala taila), and Shirobasti (Brahmi taila). Result: Within 7 days, significant improvement was observed in tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. Conclusion: Ayurvedic medicines with Panchakarma therapies effectively pacified aggravated Vata, improved neuromuscular function, and enhanced quality of life— indicating a holistic alternative for Parkinsonism management.
