Jalaneti as primary intervention in suspected rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis helps improving the recovery: A case report

Effect of Ayurvedic Intervention as an adjunct therapy in Post COVID-19 Mucormycosis (PCM): A non-randomized parallel group study

“… 9 , 10 Rastogi S et al , in a recent case report had employed a saline nasal irrigation to be a primary intervention in suspected rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis helps improving the recovery, which is also in line with one of the treatments in AAT+CAT group. [ 11 ] Authors successfully managed the PCM with ayurvedic saline nasal irrigation case and also suggested that Ayurvedic innate constitution (prakriti) may be much beneficial in pitta people as compared to vata or kapha dominant people. People having allergic inflammatory sinus disorders do not benefit much from saline nasal irrigation [ 11 ] The current study results have shown benefits Ayurveda treatments in PCM cases when used as an adjuvant.…”

Use of Saline Nasal Irrigation (Jala Neti) in SARS-CoV-2 Infection and its Complications Like Mucormycosis Needs to be Given a Serious Consideration

“…Standardisation and simplification of jalaneti was first attempted by Rastogi et alin 2009 [5] where they proposed the use of isotonic saline plastic squeezable bottle for jalaneti instead of conventional netipot. Similar standardised procedure was used recently to manage a case of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis [4].…”

“…Jalaneti (saline nasal irrigation) is frequently used as a primary modality for the treatment of recurrent sinusitis [2], nasal polyp [3] and has a potential for treating SARS-CoV-2 related or uncontrolled diabetes induced rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis [4].…”
