Parkinson's disease is a slowly progressive disease of late adult life and is one of the most prevalent neurological disorders. In Charaka Samhita 'Vepathu' has been described as one of eighty types of Nanatmaja disorders of Vata and Kampa has been mentioned as one of the Vatikavikara. Because of its crippling nature and non-availability of curative treatment, this disease has remained a great problem in the aging society. Though in modern medical science a lot of research work has been done still no definite radical therapy is available for this disease. Ayurveda, the ancient science of life being always remains the first choice of treatment for chronic disabling disease. Many simple unexplored treatment wonders are hidden in Ayurvedic texts that have definite success in management but are not clinically use because of lack of knowledge, lack of scientific validation or above all lack of faith. This paper is about management of a known case of Parkinson with non-invasive, non steroidal, cost effective and safe Ayurvedic treatment.
