Na atidrava annapana is indicated in nasya.
Precautions
While positioning the patient for nasya, if the head is not sufficiently bent the nasya dravya will not enter shiras and if the head is more bent dravya may enter mastulunga and cause complications like headache, dizziness etc.
If the spitting is not done properly, or medicine is swallowed, it will cause kaphotklesha, agnimandya and the disease aggravates.
If patient spits on one side only, then proper spreading of medicine wont take place.
If the patient talk, sneezes, laughs or gets angry or excessively moves his head while doing nasya, the nasya dravya wont reach expected site and instead causes complications like cough, sinusitis rhinorrhoea, and head ache.
Patient must avoid exposure to dust, sun breeze, drinking excessive water, alcohol, sneha dravya, bathing, excessive walking etc. Head bathing should be avoided during nasya period (since nasya arhas are almost snana anarhas), if bath is not contraindicated it can be given after 3hours.
Avapeeda nasya
It is usually administered for 2 purposes- sthambhana and sodhana. It is named so because the medicine has to be squeezed for obtaining the nasya dravya.

1 Drug in wet form Eg: tulasi pathra, ardraka kanda
2 Mortar & pestle
3 Clean white cotton cloth (Coloured cloth should not be used)
4 Honey, swarasa etc should be added.

Dose: 4-8 bindu
