Abstract	Chronic rhinosinusitis is a common inflammatory disorder of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa that significantly affects quality of life. Symptoms such as nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, facial heaviness, headache and reduced sense of smell are commonly observed. Contemporary management mainly includes antibiotics, antihistamines and corticosteroid nasal sprays, which provide symptomatic relief but may be associated with recurrence and adverse effects on prolonged use. In Ayurveda, a similar clinical condition is described as Kaphaja Prathishyaya. Nasya therapy is considered an important treatment modality for diseases of the nose. Kalingadi Arka possesses Kapha-Vatahara and Shothahara properties which may help relieve nasal obstruction and mucous accumulation. This study was undertaken to evaluate its efficacy in the management of Kaphaja Prathishyaya.
