ABSTRACT

Nasya Karma is a well-known technique amongst the many approaches of Panchakarma, which mainly utilized to treat Urdhwajatrugata disease. Nasya entails using the nasal route to provide medicinal oils or other therapeutic ingredients. Nasya therapy is considered effective in treating conditions including Dustapratishyaya, Pakshaghata, Shirasoola and Ardita, etc. The Uttamanga is purified by the Shodhana process of Nasya. Since the nose is regarded as the entrance to the head, using this method to administer medication gives direct access to the head's central structures. Ayurvedic knowledge states that medications administered through the nose travel through the Nasa Srotas to the Shringataka Marma, which is a crucial channel junction, after which they spread throughout the Murdha, influencing Kantha, Shrotra and Netra. Based on administration approaches, Nasya is divided into five categories; Navana, Avapidana, Dhmapana, Dhuma and Pratisha Nasya. By maintaining the healthy operation of sensory and cognitive skills, Nasya not only prevents disorders of the head and neck but also enhances respiratory functioning of body.
