ABSTRACT
Ardhavabhedaka has been explained as Tridoshaja by Acharya Sushruta, Vata-Kaphaja by Charaka and Vataja by Vagbhatta. Moreover, unilateral headache with paroxysmal nature is the only symptom mentioned for the disease Ardhavabhedaka by ancient scientists. Our Acharyas have mentioned Nasya Therapy as the master key for all Urdhavajatrugata vikaras. The present study was aimed to assess the Nasya with Dashmoola Ghrita and Shadabindu Taila in Ardhavabhedaka and to compare the effect of these two therapies in the treatment. Total 30 patients of Ardhavabhedaka were registered for the present study and were randomly divided into two groups. In group-A Dashmoola Ghrita Nasya, while in group-B Shadabindu Taila Nasya. In Both groups 16 drops was administered in each nostril for 14 day. The effects of therapy in both groups were assessed by a specially prepared proforma. The results of the study showed that both the groups showed significant relief in symptoms; however, compared to Shadabindu Taila Nasya, Dashmoola Ghrita Nasya showed better result in the management of Ardhavabhedaka. Dashmoola Ghrita or Shadabindu Taila can be used as an effective ayurvedic intervention in the treatment for Migraine. In group A & group B, maximum number of patients i.e. 50% & 46.15% respectively showed marked improvement.
