Synopsis

<p>Peripheral nerve injury is common and often results in significant disability to patients.

Surgical sciatic nerve axonotmesis was created in Wistar rats and treated with Vata gajankusha rasa for six weeks. Treated animals showed both motor and sensory functional recovery earlier than the untreated animals.
