Brief Summary  

Vataja Pratishyaya, as described in the Pratishyaya Pratishedha Adhyaya of the Sushruta Samhita, presents with classical symptoms such as nasal obstruction (Aanaddha Pihita Nasa), thin watery nasal discharge (Tanusrava Pravartini), dryness of the throat and palate (Galataluosta Shosha), frontal headache (Shankha Nistoda), and hoarseness of voice (Swaropaghata). These clinical features closely resemble Allergic Rhinitis, a common condition in modern medicine.

Allergic Rhinitis is an IgE-mediated Type I hypersensitivity reaction of the nasal mucosa triggered by airborne allergens. It is commonly characterized by nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, sneezing, and itching in the nose, eyes, palate, pharynx, and ears.

In Ayurveda, Nasya Karma (nasal administration of medicated oil) is regarded as the primary line of treatment for diseases affecting the Urdhwajatrugata (region above the shoulders). Among the classical formulations, Hingwadi Taila and Shuntyadi Taila are prominently indicated in Vata-Kapha dominant disorders. Both oils are attributed with properties such as Vata-Kapha hara (dosha-pacifying), Shotha hara (anti-inflammatory), and Shoola prashamana (analgesic).

Given the non-invasive nature and therapeutic potential of Nasya therapy, the present study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of Hingwadi Taila Nasya and Shuntyadi Taila Nasya in the management of Vataja Pratishyaya, with special reference to Allergic Rhinitis.
