A Comparative Clinical Study of Anutaila Nasya and Gunja Taila Nasya in Suryavarta with Special Reference to Frontal Sinusitis

Suryavarta, a type of Shiroroga described in Ayurveda, presents with pain in the frontal region of the head that intensifies as the sun ascends and subsides by evening. The clinical picture resembles frontal sinusitis in modern medicine. The aim of present study was “To evaluate and compare the efficacy of Anutaila Nasya and Gunja Taila Nasya in the management of Suryavarta Frontal Sinusitis ”A comparative clinical study was conducted with selected patients diagnosed with Suryavarta. Participants were divided into two groups Group A received Anutaila Nasya and Group B received Gunja Taila Nasya for a fixed duration. Assessment was done based on subjective and objective parameters such as intensity, duration, and frequency of headache, nasal blockage, tenderness, and associated symptoms.Both groups showed statistically significant improvement in signs and symptoms of Suryavarta. However, Gunja Taila Nasya exhibited slightly better efficacy in reducing headache severity and nasal congestion compared to Anutaila Nasya.Both Anutaila Nasya and Gunja Taila Nasya were effective in the management of Suryavarta, with Gunja Taila Nasya showing marginally superior results. The study supports the classical indication of Nasya Karma in Urdhwajatrugata Vikara and demonstrates its potential as a safe and effective therapy for sinus related headaches.
