Abstract Chronic Rhinosinusitis is an inflammatory condition characterized by persistent sinus inflammation, nasal congestion and headache lasting for more than 12 weeks. The clinical features resemble closely with Kaphaja Shirashoola described under Shirogata Rogas in Ayurveda. A 21year old male patient with a history of recurrent nasal obstruction, headache, and heaviness of the head since 2 years, presented with aggravated symptoms including persistent frontal headache, nasal blockage, intermittent ear pain, and hyposmia. The clinical and radiological evaluation confirmed Chronic Rhinosinusitis, while Ayurvedic assessment revealed Kapha-dominant features such as Gauravata (Heaviness of head), Nasavarodha (Nasal obstruction), Shoonakshikootavadana (Facial pressure), Shiroabhitapa (Headache), Manda Agni (Anorexia), and Jivha Liptata (Coated tongue). Among various treatment modalities described under Shirorogas, Nasya Karma is considered as a prime therapeutic intervention especially in Kaphaja Shirashoola. The patient was managed with Shodhana Nasya, Viddha Karma, along with internal medications. With respect to post-treatment radiological findings significant results were observed without adverse effects. This case indicates that a structured Ayurvedic, non-invasive approach can provide safe and effective management of Chronic Rhinosinusitis correlated with Kaphaja Shirashoola.
