Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death and the fifth leading cause of disability in India. Acute facial palsy is one of the most common aftereffects of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. In the former, oxygen deprivation causes facial nerve damage, while in the latter, pressure on the facial nerve from leaking blood leads to facial palsy. As the face is an important medium for communication and expression, facial palsy greatly impairs a person’s quality of life. A 52-year-old male patient suffering from facial palsy following an ischemic stroke was effectively managed with Ksheeradhooma Nasya, Karnapurana, Marsha Nasya, and Shiropichu.
