Abstract

Ayurveda the science of life, not only deals with the prevention of diseases there by to maintain health but also with the alleviation of diseases. The unique position of man as a master mechanic of the animal kingdom is because of skilled movements of his hands and when this shoulder joints get obstructed, we call it as Apabahuka. While looking into comprehensive management of Apabahuka, Nasya, Uttarabhouktika Snehapaana Sweda, Raktamokshana etc. are commonly in practise, but Naasapana a special procedure explained in Vatavyadhi Chikitsa of Chakradatta with Dashamooli Bala Masha Kwatha is rarely in practise. This article enlightens about practise of Naasapana in the management of Apabahuka.
