Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Nasya (Nasya Karma) is a term to be applied generally for medicines administered through the nasal route. The formulations used for the purpose of Nasya Karma are called Nasika Kalpana. Since nose is the gateway of the head, the therapy is highly effective in curing a number of diseases pertaining to the head, if it is performed systematically. The therapy cleanses and opens the channels of the head, thereby improving the process of oxygenation (prana), which has a direct influence on the functioning of brain. The therapy is beneficial if done on a regular basis, because it keeps the eyes, nose and ear healthy. It also prevents the early graying of hair. Nasya karma is mainly indicated in the diseases of head and it can be done in many other conditions which effects the head as head is the important part of the central nervous system that regulates functions throughout the body.
