Method: A case report of 26-year-old female who presented with complaints of frequent nasal congestion,sneezing, discomfort in nose, and headache since 3 years; and diagnosed as turbinate dysfunction. The patient was treated with shiro virechana and internal medication for 4 months. Results: The treatment was effective and no
recurrence was noticed in the follow up. Conclusion: Clinical observation has shown effectiveness of shiro virechana along with internal medication in the management of turbinate dysfunction.
