यवाग्वा वामयेद्वान्तः कफघ्नं क्रममाचरेत् | उभे बले बृहत्यौ च विडङ्गं सत्रिकण्टकम् ||३१||

sanskrit

In the treatment of Kaphaja Pratishyaya, the patient should consume a gruel (Yavagu) made from barley or other grains, which is known for its Kapha-reducing properties. The gruel should be prepared in a sequential manner to ensure its effectiveness in treating excess Kapha. Additionally, the gruel should be mixed with the strengthening herbs, such as both types of Bala (herbs with a strengthening effect), Brihati, Vidanga, and Satrikantaka, to support digestion and help in alleviating the symptoms of nasal congestion.

For the treatment of Kaphaja Pratishyaya, Shvetamoola (white-rooted plant), Sadabhadra, and Varshabhu should be gathered for their medicinal properties. These herbs, when combined, help to balance the Kapha dosha and alleviate symptoms of nasal congestion. The oils prepared from these herbs should be cooked (Vipakva) and used as an errhine (Nasya) to clear the nasal passages and provide relief from the congestion and discomfort caused by Kaphaja Pratishyaya.

sanskrit

The use of clarified butter (Sarpim) mixed with bitter and pungent substances, along with sharp and bitter-smelling fumes, is beneficial for treating Pratishyaya. These medicinal preparations are effective in alleviating all types of doshic aggravations, particularly those involving an increase in the body's humors (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). The combination of these ingredients helps to balance the doshas and reduces the congestion and discomfort associated with nasal catarrh.

The wise physician should prepare a medicated oil for nasal administration (Nasya) using Rasanjana, Ati-visha, Musta, and Bhadra-daru. These ingredients should be processed into an oil and used for Nasya therapy in the treatment of Pratishyaya (nasal catarrh). This formulation is specifically designed to counteract the deranged doshas causing the condition, helping to restore balance and alleviate symptoms of congestion.
