Abstract
A CASE STUDY ON NASAL VESTIBULITIS AND ITS MANAGEMENT THROUGH AYURVEDA
Dr. Kasturi Aloni* and Dr. Hamsaveni V.
ABSTRACT
Nasal vestibulitis (NV) is a common inflammatory condition affecting the nasal vestibule, often triggered by nasal
discharge and trauma, exacerbated by predisposing factors like rhinitis or sinusitis. Staphylococcus aureus is the
primary causative organism. Though lacking comprehensive epidemiological data, NV appears prevalent among
the elderly. Clinically, it manifests acutely with redness, swelling, and crusting, progressing to chronic induration
and fissures. Treatment involves meticulous cleansing and application of antibiotic-steroid ointments, sometimes
requiring cauterization for chronic cases. In Ayurveda, NV corresponds to Nasapaka, characterized by pitta and
rakta imbalances leading to various symptoms. Ayurvedic management includes pitta-reducing therapies .This case
study illustrates successful management of NV in an 8-year-old with Ayurvedic interventions like Avapeedana
nasya and Nasapichu, along with internal medicines, which addresses underlying imbalances of pitta, vata, and
rakta.
