ABSTRACT
The Nasya Karma has been specifically indicated, when the poison
reaches the head region (Shirogata Visha). As the medicines
administered through Nasya directly enter the central nervous system,
this treatment modality can be aptly used in such emergency medical
conditions. The administration of Nasya doesn’t need any specific
pre- therapeutic measures like Snehana (Oleation) or Swedana
(Sudation) etc. which are compulsory before other starting other
treatments like Vamana or Virechana. This makes it more suitable for
its use in the emergency cases of poisoning. Moreover, the utilization
of Nasya Karma has been observed right since the Vedic period and
this extensive tradition of Nasya Karma gives lots of confidence
about its safety and efficacy. Even certain researches in modern

to explore and utilize this treatment option in a more scientific

to handle diligently and cautiously. Nasya karma (NK)- drug delivery
