This research aims to explore the Ayurvedic condition Ardita and its correspondence with modern facial nerve lesions.
Reviewed Ayurvedic texts regarding Ardita symptoms and causes.
Analyzed correlations with upper and lower motor neuron lesions in contemporary medical literature.
Compared treatment approaches in Ayurveda and modern medicine.
Identified Ardita's symptoms as closely resembling facial nerve palsy, particularly in UMN and LMN context.
Found that treatments from both Ayurvedic and modern approaches may offer complementary benefits for patients.

Abstract

Ayurveda describes Ardita as a disease predominantly caused by aggravated Vata Dosha, affecting one half of the face and producing deviation of the mouth, difficulty in speech, impaired eye movements, and facial asymmetry. In modern medicine, these manifestations resemble facial nerve palsy, especially lesions involving the Upper Motor Neuron (UMN) and Lower Motor Neuron (LMN) pathways of the facial nerve.
