Rabies correlates with the Ayurvedic condition Alarka Visha falling under the category of Jangama Visha or animal poisons. It originates as an exogenous disorder caused by the bite of a rabid animal such as a dog or jackal. The toxic venom vitiates Vata and Pitta doshas spreading to the heart and obstructing the channels of consciousness. This progression leads to severe neurological symptoms including high fever mental confusion and the fatal sign of Jala trasa or hydrophobia. While established rabies is considered incurable or Asadhya Ayurveda emphasizes immediate preventative care post bite. Key treatments include Raktamokshana or bloodletting to remove contaminated blood and Agni Karma or cauterization of the wound to destroy the poison before it spreads systemically.

Paraplegia, known in Ayurveda as Pangu, is a neurological disorder classified among the eighty Vata Vyadhis.

Pathologically, severely vitiated Vata obstructs internal channels, leading to stiffness or muscle wasting [349, 467, Conversation History]. Management prioritizes restoring the nervous system through Panchakarma therapies like medicated enemas, oil massages, and warm bolus sudation. Specific formulations such as Dhanvantara Taila and Saptavimshatika Guggulu are utilized to restore strength.
