NASAL STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS AND THEIR ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DUSHTA PRATISHYAYA

Abstract

The most prevalent issue among Nasagata vikara is Practishyaya, which can be caused by allergy, seasonal factors, incompatible food items or occasionally deviated nasal structures, etc. Poor diet and exposure to environmental pollutants, make rhinitis is most prevalent conditions in the modern period. Dushta Pratishyaya is a recurring, chronic form of rhinitis that is linked to deeper tissue involvement and Dosha vitiation. The chronicity and problems seen in Dushta Pratishyaya can be attributed to structural anomalies in the nasal cavity. Any anatomical irregularity, like a deviation or obstruction, might throw off the nasal passages' natural equilibrium and damage their ability to function. Thus nasal structural dynamics play crucial role in the occurrence of Dushta Pratishyaya. Ayurveda suggested variety of efficient treatments including Nasya, Vamana, Basti, Lepa, Dhumapana, Kavala, Swedana and Langhana, etc. for such types of conditions.
