Abstract:
Sinusitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the paranasal sinuses presenting with nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, headache, facial pain, and postnasal drip. In Ayurveda, sinusitis can be correlated with Pratisyaya and Dusta Pratisyaya, predominantly involving Vata and Kapha dosha. Nasya karma is considered the principal line of treatment for diseases of the head (Urdhva-jatrugata vikara). Shadbindu Tailam, a classical Ayurvedic formulation described in Astangaga Hridaya and Astanga Sangraha, is specifically indicated in chronic nasal and sinus disorders. The present case series evaluates the clinical effect of Shadbindu Tailam Nasya in three patients suffering from chronic sinusitis. Significant improvement was observed in major symptoms with good tolerability and no adverse effects, suggesting that Shadbindu Tailam Nasya is an effective and safe therapeutic modality in sinusitis.
