In Ayurvedic context, sign and symptoms of Cervical spondylosis is best correlates with Asthi-majjagat vata.

As Bala and Ashwagandha possess Madhur, Snigdha and Dhatuposhak properties the efficacy of Ksheerbala tail nasya in Cervical spondylosis is proved in previous research work. No work is done yet on Ashwagandha tail nasya in Cervical spondylosis so this comparative study is selected for research.
