📄 Abstract
Ayurveda is an eternal science which aims to protect the health of the healthy person and cure the disease of the diseased person. There are two main ways to cure the disease in Ayurveda – Shamana and Shodhana. Shamana includes maintaining equilibrium of vitiated Doshas by balancing them internally and Shodhana includes their balancing by removing vitiated Doshas out of the body . Hence , Shodhana treatment is also called Detox therapy of Ayurveda. Shodhana mainly includes Panchakarma procedures namely – Vamana , Virechana , Basti , Nasya and Raktamokshana. Out of these five , for removing vitiated Doshas from Jatru-urdhwa Pradesha , ( Supra-clavicular region ) Nasya Karma is indicated. When medicinal drugs are administered through Nasa (Nose) it is called Nasya. Nasa being the gate way to Shira (head) , the drug administered through nostrils, reaches Shringataka (a Sira Marma) by Nasa Srota and spreads in the Murdha (Brain) taking route of Netra (eye), Karna (ear), Kantha (throat) and scratches the morbid Doshas in supra clavicular region, extracts them from the Uttamanga and hence, cures the disease.
