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 medical science have proved its utility, but still there is a greater need to explore and utilize this treatment option in a more scientific manner.
