Avapeed`a Nasya is also advised (Choorn`a + Sarshapa Taila). The same Choorn`a are used for application to the nose.
In all kinds of Unmaada the patient should be cheered. In the initial phase patient should be given S`hamana after mild S`hodhana (S.U.62/34-35).
Vaataja Unmaada:
In Vaataja Unmaada the first line of treatment should be Snehapaana.
In this type, physician should ascertain the nature of Vaayu, based on that Sneha should be administered i.e. if there is no obstruction to the passage of Vaayu then Sneha can be administered, if the passage is obstructed then Mridu S`hodhana along with Sneha is advised. (C.Chi.9/25)
Pittaja Unmaada:
The patient is subjected to Virechana after conditioned Snehana followed by proper Samsarjana Krama. Thereafter depending on the predominance of the Dosha Nirooha Basti, Sneha Basti and S`hirovirechana are administered frequently.
Aahaara – S`heeta, Madhura and Laghu Aahaara should be consumed.
Kaphaja Unmaada:
Snehana
Svedana
Vamana
Samsarjana Krama

By adopting these measures when the body is cleansed, the mind becomes clear (devoid of Mada) or a sense of well being is seen.
If no change is noticed from all the above treatment, then one should adopt Nasya and Anjana.
