Summary of article contents:
Ayurveda is the science of life that aims to maintain the health of the healthy and cure the diseases in the diseased. One specific branch of Ayurveda is Panchakarma which is a set of five therapeutical procedures that does biopurification of the body. By performing Panchakarma procedures, the accumulated toxins in the body are removed and restore balance to the Tridosha in the body, essentially restoring health. One of these procedures in Panchakarma is NasyaKarma . NasyaKarma is the procedure whereby medicines in various forms are administered through the nose. The nose is considered as the gateway to the brain and more so, the consciousness. When medicine is administered through the nose, it pervades the channels up to the SringatakaMarma and spreads throughout the interior of the head and brain, it reaches all channels related to the eyes, ears and oropharynx and removes the accumulated Dosha there, hence alleviating the diseased conditions. For removal of the accumulated Dosha, medicine in the form of Taila (oil) Swarasa (extracted juice) Kwatha (decoction) or Churna (powder) are administered through the nasal cavity for management of Urdwajatrugata Roga . In this article, an attempt has been made to compile the relevant information from previous research done, Ayurveda classical texts and published materials from reputed sources.
