COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF BALADHATRYADI TAILAM ADMINISTERED VIA SHIRODHARA AND NASYA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ANIDRA

Abstract

Anidra (insomnia) is a common lifestyle disorder characterized by difficulty in initiating or maintaining sleep, significantly affecting physical and psychological health. Ayurveda considers Nidra as one of the three essential pillars (Trayopastambha) of life. The present study evaluates the therapeutic efficacy of Baladhatryadi Tailam administered through two classical Panchakarma procedures Shirodhara and Nasya in the management of Anidra. The study aims to compare their effectiveness in improving sleep quality, reducing psychological stress, and enhancing overall well-being. Findings suggest that both therapies are beneficial, with variations in onset and depth of action. This study highlights the potential of Ayurvedic interventions as safe and effective alternatives for managing sleep disorders.
