Nasal polyps are non-neoplastic masses of oedematous nasal or sinus mucosa. Prolonged use of antihistamines and antibiotics leads to drug resistance and decreases immunity; nasal decongestants bring about, rebound congestion. Fear of surgery, its complications and cost have restricted many patients from undergoing surgery. Hence the present case study was taken to evaluate the efficacy of <em>Ksharakarma</em> in the management of <em>Nasarshas</em> w.s.r to Nasal Polyp along with internal medications for reducing its recurrence and improve the immunity. <em>Kshara</em> is an excellent <em>Anusastra</em> in the management of <em>Arsha</em>, as it has <em>Lekhana</em>, <em>Tridoshaghna</em>, <em>Teekshna</em> and <em>Ushna</em> property.<em> Shirovirechana</em> being one of the <em>Shodhana Karma, </em>hence <em>Nasya</em> with <em>Apamarga Kshara Taila</em> and <em>Anu Taila</em> was planned. Internally <em>Hamsapadadi Kashaya, Chitrakadi Vati, Triphala Guggulu </em>and<em> Agasthya Rasayana</em> was prescribed. The results were encouraging to start with just after the application of the <em>Kshara</em>, there was complete relief of the symptoms of Nasal Polyp. Overall, there was significant improvement in the condition.</p&gt;}, number={6}, journal={Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences}, author={Sugnyani and S M Pasha}, year={2022}, month={Jan.}, pages={299 - 304} }
