On September 26, 2025, Kanachur Ayurveda Medical College and Hospital in association with Kanachur Institute of Medical Sciences organized a “CME ON EMERGENCY MEDICINE IN AYURVEDA PRACTICE ”, The resource person was Dr Ravishankara Pervaje BAMS MS AYU Consultant surgeon in sushrutha ayurveda hospital Puttur.
Emergency care in Ayurveda demands rapid assessment of doshas, dhatus, and avarana concepts while integrating modern diagnostic support such as MRI, CT, and laboratory investigations. Conditions like Pakshaghata (stroke) remain central, where acute neurological deficits are understood as derangements of vata dosha with avarana of kapha or pitta. Early intervention aims to restore vatagati and prevent further dhatu kshaya.
Treatment modalities highlighted include Nasya with medicated oils or powders for improving cranial circulation and facilitating neurological recovery, and Raktamokshana (bloodletting) in selected cases to relieve avarana and reduce srotorodha. In Gridhrasi (sciatica), emergency management involves pain alleviation through agnikarma, vasti, or local procedures, while addressing the underlying vata imbalance.
The CME emphasizes the importance of correlating MRI and neuroimaging findings with Ayurveda concepts—understanding areas of avarana and margavarodha alongside the prakriti of the patient. Dosha analysis supports individualized care even in acute emergencies, ensuring that treatment is both holistic and timely.
Ayurveda emergency practice thus integrates rapid stabilization, traditional interventions, and modern diagnostics, offering a complementary approach to complex conditions like stroke and neurological emergencies while ensuring safety and effectiveness in the hospital setting.
