Summary of article contents:

Ayurveda is an ancient medical science that promotes healthy living along with curing disease. In Ayurveda , many therapies are used for maintaining health and for eradicating diseases. Nasya Karma (Errhine Therapy) is an important therapy among them. In this therapy, the medicine is administered through the nose in the form of Swaras (fresh juice) , Kalka (paste) , Kwath (decoction) etc. It is particularly useful in the treatment of diseases occurring in Urdhavjatru (upper clavicular region) but it also works indirectly on the whole body by acting on endocrine glands and nervous system. Nasa is said to be the doorway to the head, and medicine introduced through the nose stimulates the higher centers of the brain which shows action in the regulation of endocrine and nervous system functions The medicines administered through Nasya may reach the brain (HPO axis) and stimulate the secretion of hormones responsible for correcting gynecological and obstetrical conditions and also eliminates the morbid Doshas (functional identities). Thus, considering the benefits of Nasya it can be widely used in gynecology and obstetrics conditions Keywords: Nasya
