Abstract

As we are living in the 21st century there is a dramatic change in the life style, habits and environment of living being. In ancient days we led a happy and healthy life, but as the life style and environment changed. Pratishyaya vyadhi (Rhinitis) is one of the commonest diseases found due to this change. According to Ayurveda “Pratikshanam shyayate iti Pratishyayah” it means continuous outward motion of doshas. If any type of Pratishyaya (Rhinitis) is neglected and not properly remedied at the outset of an attack, it may bring on cases of malignant Pinasa, which in time gives rise to a number of diseases and produces in its train deafness, blindness, anosmia, violent ocular affections, cough, dullness of appetite and Shopha (swelling). Treatment of all the Pratishyayas (Rhinitis) are classified in two types- Aama Pratishyaya and Pakwa Pratishyaya (Rhinitis). Anorexia, distaste, thin nasal secretion, pain, dizziness, feeling of heaviness in head with sneezing and pyrexia are common symptoms of Aama Pratishyaya (Rhinitis). Feeling of lightness in head, nose and mouth region, yellowish thick and mucoid nasal discharge with down grade symptoms of Aama Pratishyaya (Rhinitis) are common symptoms of Pakwa Pratishyaya (Rhinitis).  Aama Pratishyaya (Rhinitis) should be converted into Pakwa Pratishyaya by Swedana, Ushna bhojana with amla rasa, Ksheera ardrka and jaggeries should be advised. In Pakwa Pratishyaya (Rhinitis) Ghrita pana, Swedana, Vamana, Awapida, Shirovirechana, Virechana, Aasthapana, Dhoomapana, Kawalagraha should be advised
