Abstract

Ayurveda, being the ancient science of life has manifold therapies for the ailing humanity from simple principles to the most advanced ones. The contemporary medical science has been established since 100 to 150 years, but Ayurveda was emerged and established in full sense many 1000 years ago. Many explanations explained recently in contemporary medical science resembles Ayurvedic view in relation with the etio-pathogenesis of many diseases; the only difference is in nomenclature and their management. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease with bad prognosis. The signs and symptoms of ALS resemble some diseases explained in Ayurveda in Vata Vyadhis.
