Background: Marsha nasya (nasal instillation of medicine) has immense impact on brain and circulatory system owing to its absorptive
and stimulatory effects. Many a time, observation of vital parameters was not properly monitored leading to life-threatening
complications especially when the patient is hypertensive. Whether the snehapaaka (critical end point) used for marsha nasya karma has
any relation with variation of blood pressure has not been studied yet. So, a clinical documentation has been planned and done in this
angle to ensure safety aspect of the process. Objective : To study the variation of Blood Pressure during Nasya karma with
kaarpaasaasthyaaditaila nasya in Vis’vaaci (cervical radiculopathy) w.s.r to snehapaaka Setting : Panchakarma OPD, VPSV Ayurveda
College Hospital, Kottakkal, Kerala; R & D Division, Oushadhi Pharmacy [GMP Certified Company], Thrissur, Kerala. Design :
Randomized Double Blind Clinical Trial Materials and Methods: Ninety three participants were divided randomly into three groups
using Random Number Table. Marsha nasya was given with mr’du (mild), madhyama(medium) and khara paaka(scorched) of
Kaarpaasaasthyaadi taila. Variation in Blood Pressure was measured just before and just after procedure. Statistical analysis used :
Paired t– test was done to find out whether the change observed was statistically significant. One-way ANOVA and Tukey-kramer
multiple comparison test was used to study the change between the groups. Results: The change in Blood Pressure observed during
nasya karma in all the three groups was found to be statistically highly significant (p< 0.001). The variation is highly significant (p<
0.001) in khara paaka group when compared to mr’du and madhayama paaka. Conclusion: The present study concludes that there will
be a transient increase in Blood Pressure during marsha nasya procedure and is more in khara paaka
