The present study is a case report on management of Acute Ischemic stroke(Right Pontine Infarct) in a male patient aged about 68years with chief complaints of weakness and loss of function in left upper and lower limb. The case was treated with Nasya Karma, Sarvanga abhyanga Nadi sweda, Shastika shali pinda sweda and Matra basti and found improvement in carrying out day to day activity. Before treatment Scavandian Stroke scale was 45 and after the treatment the scale was 63 providing symptomatic relief. This reveals that Ayurveda Panchakarma modalities can play a significant role in the treatment of Pakshaghata.
