Nasarshas can be correlated to nasal  polyps. Nasal polyps are non-neoplastic masses of nasal or sinus mucosa.  Prolonged use of antihistamines and antibiotics leads to drug resistance and  decreases immunity, Fear of surgery, its complications and cost have restricted  many patients from undergoing surgery and allopathic medicines. In this study a  case of 31years male Patient presented with difficulty in nasal breathing, mouth  breathing especially at night, sneezing, nasal discharge, headache since 9 months  was taken for study. Present case study is taken to evaluate the efficacy of  Ksharakarma in the management of Nasarshas w.s.r to Nasal Polyp along with  internal medications for improve immunity and to reduce its recurrence. Kshara is an excellent medicine in the management of Arsha, as it has Lekhana, Tridoshaghna, Teekshna and Ushna properties. Shirovirechana being one of the  Shodhana Karma, hence Nasya with Apamarga Kshara Taila followed by Yava  kshara prathisarana was planned.
