Abstract Background: Sinusitis is a common multifactorial inflammatory disorder of the upper airway system which severely affects the patient’s quality of life. It is affecting an estimated 30% of the whole population. About two billion are spent annually on medications to treat nasal and sinus problems. It is estimated that one among eight Indians are hit by chronic sinusitis Kaphaja Shirashoola is one among the Shiroirogas having symptoms like heaviness, swelling of eyes and face, coating of Kapha in head and oral cavity, facial pressure, fatigue, drowsiness. Pain is dull during the day and severe in the night. This condition can be clinically analyzed with the features of Chronic Sinusitis. Chronic Sinusitis refers to sinus infection lasting for months (>12 weeks) or years. Failure to resolve the acute infection is considered to be the most important cause of chronic sinusitis. Ayurveda emphasizes various treatment modalities for Kaphaja Shirashoola which includes various Panchakarma procedures and internal medicines which are said to be effective in the management of Kaphaja Shirashoola. In the present case, the patient was treated with Nasya Karma—a specialized Panchakarma therapy beneficial for head-related disorders—along with Marma Chikitsa, an ancient therapeutic technique that stimulates vital energy points to restore balance and function. The integration of Marma Chikitsa with classical Ayurvedic treatment has shown promising outcomes in the management of chronic sinusitis. This synergistic approach not only aids in symptom relief but also addresses the root cause of the disorder by enhancing pranic flow and supporting systemic detoxification and rejuvenation. The combined modality contributed significantly to the effective management of chronic Kaphaja Shirashoola in this case

Objectives: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of Nasya and Marma chikitsa in the management of Kaphaja Shirashoola w.r.t. Chronic sinusitis. Method: A single case study was taken up to scientifically validate the effects of Nasya and Marma Chikitsa. The treatment was given for 7 consecutive days. Case report: A male patient aged about 45 years approached SPSAMC, H & RC with the complaints of heaviness of head, headache (Dullache in nature) associated with running nose, sneezing and snoring occasionally for past 1 month.
Keywords Kaphaja Shirashoola, Chronic Sinusitis, Nasya, Marma Chikitsa.
