Therapies such as Nasya (medicated nasal drops) play a key role in expelling excess Kapha from the head region. Swedana (steam inhalation) helps liquefy and drain mucus, while Dhoomapana (herbal fumigation) supports respiratory clearance.
OTITIS (ASOM / CSOM)
Otitis refers to inflammation of the ear .commonly classified based on the part of the ear involved -otitis externa(out ear),otitis media(middle ear),otitis interna (inner ear).
