This condition can be co-related with Atrophic Rhinitis. Though there are many modalities described in modern ENT, still it is not possible to cease the Permanent Impairment. In Ayurved many modalities are being described for <em>Urdhwajatrugata Rogas </em>and for <em>Nasagata</em> <em>Vikara.</em> Among them <em>Nasya</em> (administered of drugs in to nasal cavity) is best. As it is a <em>Kapha Pradhana Vikara, Katu Dhoomapana </em>can also be added to this procedure. The <em>Nashya </em>procedure is explained by <em>Brihatrayees</em>. The complete procedure of <em>Nashya</em> includes <em>Poorva Karma (Snehana </em>and<em> Swedana</em>), mobilizes the <em>Doshas</em> to the site of elimination and causes vasodilatation which helps in elimination of <em>Doshas</em> and provides better channel for absorption of the <em>Oushadhi. Pradhana Karma (Nashya)</em> eliminates the <em>Doshas. Kavala </em>as <em>Paschat Karma </em>eliminates the remaining <em>Doshas</em> and causes better absorption of the <em>Oushadhi</em> which ultimately eliminates the symptoms of the disease.</p> <p>A clinical observation has shown effective result in the treatment of AR with <em>Shadbindu Taila Nasya </em>and <em>Trikatu Dhoomapana</em>. And here we are revalidating the statement of our Acharyas. A case report of a female, aged 38 years with complain of nasal obstruction, foul smell from nose, anosmia, headache, nasal discharge, sneezing and general weakness has been presented here.</p&gt;}, number={3}, journal={International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharma Research}, author={Kumar Dwibedi, *Tarun and N, Gururaj and K, Shashikala and Hiremath, Veerayya R}, year={2019}, month={Jun.}, pages={55-58} }
