Cervical radiculopathy is a condition similar to Vishwachi, which results from compression of cervical nerve roots. This leads to neck pain radiating along the distribution of the affected nerve root, numbness, altered reflexes and weakness in the muscles of arm. Objectives: To evaluate the combined effectiveness of Dashamooladi Yamaka Pratimarsha Nasya and Ashtavargam Kashaya in Vishwachi (Cervical Radiculopathy).

Ruja, Toda, Spandana, Sthambha, Tandra, Gourava, Arochaka, Bahukarmakshya, Bahucheshtapaharana and Spurling test were assessed on 1 st day, 7th day and 15th day. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. Results and conclusion: Statistically significant (P < 0.05) improvement was observed in symptoms such as Bahu Karmakshaya, Bahu Cheshtapaharana, Ruja, Toda, Spandana and range of cervical movement. Dashamooladi Yamaka Pratimarsha Nasya and Ashtavargam Kashaya were found to be effective in the management of Vishwachi.
