Nasya in Clinical Practice
Classical Foundations, Living Traditions, Contemporary Anatomy, Clinical Experience, and New Therapeutic Hypotheses
A scholarly exploration of Ayurvedic nasal therapy—rooted in classical texts, informed by clinical practice, and presented in conversation with contemporary anatomy and research.
Nasya is more than the administration of a medicine through the nose. In Nasya in Clinical Practice, Dr. Indunil Tullius examines it as a complete therapeutic discipline, bringing classical Ayurvedic teachings and living traditions into dialogue with clinical experience and contemporary anatomical perspectives.
Drawing on foundational Ayurvedic texts, later literature, and traditional practice, the book explores how Nasya is selected, prepared, administered, and followed by appropriate aftercare. It discusses patient suitability, the choice of formulations and dosage, and the interpretation of therapeutic responses. Detailed clinical cases illustrate its application in neurological, respiratory, sensory, and other disorders of the head region.
The monograph also presents Sri Lankan traditional psychiatric practice, Maw kiri Nasya, direct microscopic observations, and original models concerning possible connections between the nasal route and neurovascular, sensory, immune, and neuroendocrine processes. Classical teachings, clinical observations, existing research, and newly proposed hypotheses are distinguished throughout, giving readers a clear view of the different kinds of evidence and interpretation involved.
Written for Ayurvedic practitioners, healthcare professionals, researchers, and readers of integrative medicine, this book offers a clinically grounded study of Nasya and its place in contemporary practice.
