Abstract

One of the 31 Nasarogas, Pratishyaya is regarded by Ayurveda as being one of the most significant illnesses. The state in which Vata Kapha dusti was noticed was described as Pratishyaya by Acharya Sushruta. In the fight against urdhvajatrugata rogas, Nasya plays a crucial part. Pachana, Snehan, Swedana, Nasya, and Vardhman pippali Rasayana comprise therapy protocol in this case of Pratishyaya. In the modern science the symptoms of Vataj Pratishyaya can correlate with allergic rhinitis. People of all ages are susceptible to allergic rhinitis, a common respiratory disease. The main causes of this illness are living a sedentary lifestyle, being exposed to cold weather, frequently using an air conditioner, and consuming junk food, ice cream, cold beverages, curd, and sour foods like pickles and sauce. This leads to thin nasal discharge, headaches, eye pain and persistent sneezing, which disturbs sleep, disrupts everyday tasks, and thus lower one’s performance as a whole.

Keywords: Allergic rhinitis, Nasya, Snehan, Swedana.
