The head is the most vital organ in the body (uttamanga). The roots of all the sensory and motor organs ([[indriya]]) are located in the head. [Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 17/12]

Several vital points (marma) are located in the head. Any damage to these areas (marma sthana) can produce symptoms similar to neurological disturbances.

The location of mind is described as between the top of the skull and palate by Acharya Bhela. It is precisely where the cortex and limbic system, i.e., the higher nervous system related to the functions of the mind is located.

Sneha yukta [[virechana]] (therapeutic purgation with unctuous substance) is mainline of treatment. Medicines like eranda taila (castor oil) or castor seeds (eranda beeja) processed in milk with a small amount of cow’s urine (gomutra) for [[virechana]] in stroke patients. We can select the formulations for [[virechana]] according to the pathogenesis (samprapti) also. But, the strength (bala) of the patient should be considered with prime importance.

2) What can be a standard research protocol for the management of neurological disorders because the conditions are highly person-specific?

Ans: It is tough to answer the question because we have to develop such a protocol purely based on Ayurvedic principles. We have to re-modify the trials which had been conducted in pharmacological laboratories with modern standards. We have to re-design the clinical trials by keeping the essence of [[Ayurveda]] in it. At present, we cannot give such a single protocol. However, the development of such an Ayurvedic research protocol incorporating the necessary modern parameters also is under progress. In precise, it cannot be just clinical Drug Trial protocol but to bring the holistic concept of [[Ayurveda]] approach in research also.
