Abstract

Ayurveda is an age old science of health, which emphasizes on the maintenance of health rather than to cure the disease. Shalakya is an important branch of Ayurveda which deals with the treatment of diseases occurring in the organs situated above the neck such as eye, ear, nose and oral cavity. It is called as Shalakya Tantra. Apeenasa is one of the Nasagata roga and Urdhwajatrugata Vyadhi which is explained by Acharya Sushruta and Vagabhatta. Apeenasa is a Vatakapha Pradhana Vyadhi. Apeenasa is managed with Deepana , Pachana, Vamana, Virechana, Dhumapana, Nasya Karma or Shirovirechana.
