Clinical study reports improved management of myopia using Ayurvedic Nasya therapy, suggesting potential benefits for patients.
Myopia is a prevalent ocular disorder with profound personal, societal, educational, and economic implications. Despite advancements in corrective techniques, no definitive measures exist to halt its progression, and available interventions are associated with certain risks. In Ayurveda, myopia bears close resemblance to Timira, particularly involving the first and second Patala, with similarities in clinical features, anatomical structures, and pathogenesis. Ayurvedic management emphasizes Kriya-kalpas (topical ocular therapies) for addressing such conditions. Severe cases of myopia often impair sustained near vision and lead to blurred perception of distant objects. With this background, the present study explores the efficacy of Bhringaraj Yashtimadhu Siddha Taila administered via Nasya therapy in the management of Simple Myopia through a clinical evaluation.
