When the greatly aggravated vata invades the urdhwa, adha and thiryakgatadhamanis, then it destroys any one half of the body which is called as pakshaghata. By this, affected side of the body becomes incapable of any work. In Vatavyadhi, basti is considered as the best treatment, but for pakshaghatasneha is the line of treatment.
