Deviated nasal septum(DNS) is a relatively prevalent disorder that can cause obstructive sleep apnea, migraine, sinusitis, epistaxis, and nasal blockage in moderate to severe cases. Patients suffering from DNS switch to alternate therapies due to return of symptoms. Peenasam or Nasanaah resembles the clinical signs of DNS. Our study's objective was to ascertain whether traditional Viddha karma can serve as an additional therapeutic option in case of DNS by lowering the patients' current symptoms, medication dependence without the need of surgery for relief of symptoms. Viddha Karma has been used to cure adults for symptoms brought on by DNS ,sinusitis, hypertrophied turbinates .This article describes a 16-year-old male patient who had three Viddha sessions over the course of a week on alternate days for his hypertrophied turbinates and deviated nasal septum. The Snot-22 questionnaire and lab investigations showed improvement. The functional outcome was achieved in patient along with Nasya and some Ayurvedic medicines. Viddha karma, along with Nasya and Ayurvedic medicines has been shown to be highly effective in treating symptoms.
