Abstract

Nasya is one of the procedures of Panchkarma mentioned in Ayurveda. It is a process where drug is administered in nose. Nasa is one among the pancha gyanendriya. Its function is not only olfaction and respiration but also considered as a route for drug administration. As per “Nasa hi Shirsodwaram, present study shows that Nasa works as a door of Shira; this door works intraneous, extraneous and as a barrier by alleviate aggravated Dosha, expel morbid Dosha and keep Dosha in normal condition. Hence nose is gateway for head; Nasya is best therapy for Urdhwang Chikitsa. Review on the concept of Nasa hi Shirshodwaram in the concert of Nasya is discussed here.
