| Abstract: | Adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases (AONDs) comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders marked by progressive, age-dependent neuronal dysfunction, with synaptic and axonal impairments preceding overt neuronal loss. Despite diverse genetic and environmental triggers, these diseases share common pathological trajectories that remain inadequately explained by late-stage molecular or cellular events alone. Ayurveda provides an alternative, stage-based understanding of disease evolution through the framework of Shatkriyakala, within which Kha Vaigunya—defined as a latent defect or vulnerability in channels of transport and transformation (srotas)—is recognized as a prerequisite for disease manifestation. This narrative review critically examines classical Ayurvedic descriptions of Kha Vaigunya and Shatkriyakala alongside contemporary neuroscientific evidence on AONDs. The analysis demonstrates that early, silent disturbances described in the initial stages of Shatkriyakala correspond closely with preclinical synaptic and axonal dysfunction documented in AONDs. Kha Vaigunya is identified as a disease-producing cause (utpadaka hetu), facilitating localization of pathology (sthana samshraya) and explaining selective neuronal vulnerability, prolonged latency, and progressive disease course observed in AONDs. The synthesis highlights a conceptual convergence between Ayurvedic and modern biomedical models, wherein impaired transport and communication systems represent a common substrate underlying neurodegenerative progression. This integrative perspective provides a structured understanding of early disease evolution in AONDs and establishes a foundation for further discussion on preventive and therapeutic considerations. |
