Abstract

Background: Nasal mucosa is highly sensitive to irritants or allergens. It deals with the polluted smoke, fog, fumes, pollen grains through inspiration. Nasal discharge, Nasal blockage and sneezing are the cardinal signs of Nasal allergy. Nasal obstruction, Nasal Discharge and loss of smell perception in Ayurved can be correlated to Apeenasa. Tikshna or Avapida Nashya, Snehapana, Dhoomapana, Abhyanga etc. are included in the treatment of Apeenasa. Patient information: Here we have presented a female case with complain of frequent nasal blockage with recurrent nasal discharge in the past two years. She had also felt loss of smell sensation since then. Materials and Methods: Considering the case as Vata and Kapha predominant disease, we managed the case with Shamana Aushadhi (~Conservative treatment), Nashya and Pratimarsha Nashya as Nasal instillation of Ksheerabala Tail 101. Along with the treatment, the patient was advised to maintain a proper diet regimen and diet time. Results: The patient was treated with Tikshna Taila Nashya, Deepaka, Pachaka, Tridoshahara Aushadhi to balance the Predominant Dosha. After the 45th day of treatment there was improvement in smell perception, Nasal blockage and Nasal discharge reduced significantly. The nasal mucosa became regular and achieved its normal color. There was significant reduction in the size of Inferior hypertrophic turbinates.
