Abstract

In this modern era, maintaining a healthy life for a person is challenging.

One of these, known as Nasya, involves the administration of medicine or medicated oil through the nostrils in order to prevent the sickness of the organs above the Urdhva Jatrugata (supraclavicular). Different Ayurvedic texts classify Nasya differently; all forms are used to treat and prevent disease. Pratimarsha Nasya is one of them.
