The 21st century has seen a significant rise in stress-related disorders, with headaches being one of the most common complaints, especially in conditions like Vataja Shirahshoola. This study aimed to evaluate the comparative efficacy of Rasnadi Taila Nasya and Dashamoola Taila Nasya in the treatment of primary symptoms of Vataja Shirahshoola, including bitemporal headache, occipital pain, and associated symptoms like disturbed sleep, giddiness, and difficulty concentrating. Thirty patients aged 15 to 50 years were randomly assigned to two groups: Group A (Rasnadi Taila Nasya + Dashamoola Kvatha) and Group B (Dashamoola Taila Nasya + Dashamoola Kvatha). After 30 days of treatment, Group A showed a better overall improvement (58.97%) compared to Group B (52.05%), with significant relief in symptoms like headache (43.67% in Group A vs. 48.78% in Group B), disturbed sleep (64.66% in Group A vs. 53.75% in Group B), and difficulty concentrating (70.55% in Group A vs. 47% in Group B). The study concludes that Rasnadi Taila Nasya combined with Dashamoola Kvatha is more effective in providing symptom relief in Vataja Shirahshoola than the Dashamoola Taila Nasya treatment.
