Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medical system, has been practiced since time immemorial and provides numerous holistic strategies for health promotion and disease prevention. Among the conditions addressed by Ayurveda is Manyastambha, whose clinical presentation closely parallels that of Cervical Spondylosis in modern medicine. This condition not only deteriorates an individual's general health but also significantly impairs their quality of life and ability to perform routine activities. It is classified as a Vata vyadhi (disease of Vata origin), with causative factors including Diwaswapa (daytime sleeping), incorrect downward and upward neck movements, excessive neck stretching, improper sleeping postures, and use of unsuitable pillows. Ayurveda offers multiple therapeutic interventions for Manyastambha, among which Nasya Karma holds a prominent place. This review focuses on the role of selected Ayurvedic modalities— particularly Yogaraja Guggula and Gudadi Nasya—in the effective management of Manyastambha with reference to Cervical Spondylosis.
