Abstract

In Ayurved, Shirashool (headache) has been given as a symptom of many diseases. Ayurvedic texts also describe Shirashool as primary disorders as Shirorogas. In Samhita details description of causative factors of Shiroshoola were mentioned. The prevalence of headache is increasing worldwide at a shocking rate in developed and developing countries. Acharya Charaka has described five types of Shiroroga, whereas Sushruta, Bhavamishra and Yogaratnakara have classified eleven types of Shiroroga. All ancient Acharyas have said considered Nasa as the gate way of Sheera. It does not mean that any channel directly connects brain and nose. Nasya eliminates the vitiated doshas from part of head and it remove viated vata and get rid from Shirshool. So Nasya can be done to manage the Shirshool.
