Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting the motor system. It is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s and typically affects people over the age of 60 and above, though early onset forms also exist. In 2021, an estimated 11.77 million people worldwide had Parkinson's disease. Projections indicate that the number of people living with PD globally could reach 25.2 million by 2050, representing a 112% increase from 2021. In Ayurveda, this condition is broadly correlated with Kampavata, a specific Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi. Imbalance or vitiation of Vata, particularly its sub-types like Vyana Vata (responsible for circulation and movement) and Prana Vata (governing higher intellectual functions and respiration) is considered central to the pathogenesis of Kampavata. This case study presents the Ayurvedic management of a 60-year-old male patient diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease in 2015. The patient presented with a one-year history of loss of strength in the left lower and upper limbs and weakness. Prior to Ayurvedic intervention, he was on conventional medications. The Ayurvedic diagnosis was Kampavata with Vatakapha dosha predominance. The individualized Ayurvedic treatment protocol, initiated on April 11. 2025, included Panchakarma procedures such as Nasya Karma with Anu Taila, Sarvanga Agnichikitsa lepa, Sarvanga Abhyanga with Prabanjanavimardana taila, Sarvanga Parisheka with Dhanyamla & Dashamoola Kashaya, and Physiotherapy. Over the course of treatment, the patient was closely monitered. This case highlights the potential of a structured Ayurvedic approach in improving the quality of life and managing the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
