Phakka (啶啷嵿) refers to 鈥減olio鈥�, which is short for 鈥�poliomyelitis鈥�. It is used throughout Ayurvedic literature such as the Su艣ruta-sa峁僪it膩 and the Caraka-sa峁僪it膩.

For polio (phakka), treatment is done after the fever and other symptoms have subsided. Then, svedana (鈥榮udation therapy鈥�) and 苍补惫补谤补迟脓辫辫怒 (rubbing paste of 峁峁ａ弓颈办补 rice boiled with milk) are done. The 苍补惫补谤补迟脓辫辫怒 is the main treatment for polio.
