Which therapy involves nasal administration in apasmar?

• A. Brahmi ghee nasya
• B. Shirodhara with Brahmi
• C. Emerald gemstone
• D. Vata pacifying diet

Answer: (A)

Nasal administration, or nasya, is the therapy that uses substances delivered through the nostrils. In apasmar (epilepsy), nasya with Brahmi-infused ghee takes the medicine directly to the brain, helping calm the mind and balance vata. Brahmi is a traditional brain-tonic, and using ghee as the carrier enhances absorption and soothing effect. This route is specifically associated with head and brain disorders, making Brahmi ghee nasya the appropriate choice. Other options don’t involve nasal delivery: Shirodhara is a forehead oil treatment, Emerald gemstone isn’t a therapy, and a Vata-pacifying diet is dietary guidance rather than a nasal intervention.
