Looking to the condition a nasal drop prepared from few herbs processed with mustard oil was taken into multiple clinical- experimental trial both invivo and invitro study to access the efficacy. The nasal drop in the form of Nasya i.e., modified Marichyadi taila (MMT) in management of Pratishyaya (rhinitis) has been evaluated from different angle i.e., clinical, radiological, biochemical, biological and antibiogram study etc. show significant result in comparison with modern control drug Otrivin. After comparing both the results it has found that MMT was more effective than Otrivin as because of its multi-stained bactericidal and virucidal effect along with maximum relief in clinical sign and symptoms.
