NASYA IN CLINICAL PRACTICE

                            *Nasya in Clinical Practice* presents a comprehensive exploration of Ayurvedic nasal therapy, bringing classical medical knowledge into meaningful dialogue with contemporary anatomy, scientific research and clinical experience.

Drawing upon the *Caraka-saṃhitā*, *Suśruta-saṃhitā*, *Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya*, later Ayurvedic literature and living therapeutic traditions, Dr. Indunil Tullius explains Nasya as a complete clinical discipline rather than simply the administration of medicine through the nose. The book examines formulation selection, dosage, preparation, administration, aftercare, patient suitability and the interpretation of therapeutic responses.

Detailed clinical cases illustrate the application of Nasya in neurological, respiratory, sensory and head-region disorders. The book also introduces Sri Lankan traditional psychiatric practice, *Maw kiri Nasya*, direct microscopic observations and original models connecting the nasal route with neurovascular, sensory, immune and neuroendocrine processes.

Classical teachings, documented clinical observations, modern evidence and newly proposed hypotheses are clearly distinguished throughout. This allows traditional medical knowledge to be presented with authority while maintaining scholarly transparency.

Written for Ayurvedic practitioners, healthcare professionals, researchers and readers interested in integrative medicine, this monograph offers a clinically grounded bridge between an ancient therapeutic tradition and the challenges of contemporary healthcare.
