Sinusitis is an severe inflammation of the membrane lining of any sinus, especially one of the Paranasal sinuses
of the skull that includes the Maxillary, Frontal, Ethmoidal and the Sphenoidal sinuses. Here a case of 45 year
old lady with chronic sinusitis has been brought into light who has taken almost all possible medications but
could not found any satisfactorial results. Sushruta samhita, one of the pioneer Granthas(Textbooks) of
Ayurveda describes Jeerna Pratishyaya(chronic sinusitis) in resemblance of chronic sinusitis. Also, the
ayurvedic management of Jeerna-Pratishyay(Chronic Sinusitis) mainly emphasizes on various dietary
interventional patterns and Yogic processes including Asanas and ShuddhiKriya’s (clensing processes).Jalaneti
is one of the Shuddhikriya indicated for the Urdhwajatrugatrogas(E.N.T Disorders) of Ayurveda. Hence,
keeping this Hypothesis in mind, a 7 day Jalaneti was planned for the above patient to evaluate the immediate
effect of the therapy in chronic sinusitis. This paper mainly focuses on the benefits and scientific basis of
Jalaneti in the management of Chronic Sinusitis(~Jeerna-Pratishyay).
