Nasya, Panchakarma, Ayurveda, Nasal administration

Nasya is the most important therapy as it is used for the treatment of urdhvajatrugata diseases. So in some places, it has been given first place in the sequence of Panchakarma, as in the Apamargatanduliya adhyaya of Charaka Samhita Sutrsthana. Nasya is not only beneficial for urdhvajatrugata rogas, but also for some systemic diseases like kampavata, hikka, etc. and also for pumsavana karma. Nasya karma has been classified mainly on the basis of its pharmacological action, form of medicine, part of drug used, etc. and each of which has got its own salient features. The references regarding the Nasya karma were collected, analysed and interpreted. There are five ways of differentiating the various forms of nasya karma- Dravya bhedanusara, Prayoga bhedanusara, Matra bhedanusara, Karma bhedanusara and Ashraya bhedanusara. The various classifications of nasya by different Acharyas are based on these five forms. Vagbhata’s concept of dvividhopakramaniya emprises the importance, as this classification of chikitsa holds well because diseases are being explained as santarpanajanya vyadhi and apatarpanajanya vyadhi. Nasya karma as a whole enhances the drug to reach the site and then either it eliminates the dosas responsible for producing the diseases or nourishes the area. Sarangdhara’s classification of nasya into Karshana and Brimhana can be considered as the base line classification of nasya, as the treatment modalities are of two types- Langhana and Brimhana. All other divisions and varieties of nasya can be incorporated under these two heads of Langhana and Brimhana.
