A CASE STUDY ON THE MANAGEMENT OF SNORING THROUGH PANCHAKARMA THERAPY
Description
Ayurveda is the science of life, its main objective being to relieve human suffering and to impart health and longevity. Snoring is a sound produced by vibrations in the pharynx and soft palate as air flows through this constricted area. Increased narrowing leads to louder snoring, difficulty in breathing, and ultimately apneic episodes. The typical motivation for patients to seek assistance is the social repercussions. These can include distress, exclusion from the bedroom, marital discord, inability to take vacations, anxiety about traveling, or the risk of dozing off in public, among others.

The patient was treated on the line of management of Urdwajatrugata Vikara by using Gandush and Nasya therapy shown wonderful result in snoring sound was noticed with in 14 days of treatment.
