Abstract Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder presenting with gait disturbances, impaired balance, ocular movement abnormalities, and swallowing difficulties. It results from degeneration of nerve cells in brain regions governing movement, coordination, and cognition. Ayurveda advocates a holistic and individualized approach, integrating Panchakarma and Shamana Chikitsa. A 58-year-old male presented with progressive weakness of both lower limbs for eight months, neck stiffness, slurred speech, drooping eyelids, excessive lacrimation, and dysphagia. From an Ayurvedic perspective, the condition was diagnosed as Sarvanga Vata and managed with Shirothalam, Agni Chikitsa Lepa, Shirobasti, Matra Basti, along with Shamana Chikitsa. The patient showed marked improvement in his symptoms, which was sustained through Shamana Oushadhi and regular follow-up. After two sessions of Ayurvedic therapy supported by outpatient care, notable progress was observed in walking ability, speech clarity, and orientation. This case underscores the potential role of Ayurvedic management, particularly Panchakarma, in improving functional capacity and quality of life in PSP.
