In the pyramid of research evidence, systematic reviews attain second place only after meta-analysis. Research itself is nascent in Ayurveda. Therefore, there is not much scope for systematic review and meta-analysis in Ayurveda. However, for the progress of Ayurveda systematic reviews on already conducted research is important. In this background present study was aimed at systematically reviewing and analyzing researches carried out in the field of Ayurveda where in nebulization is one of the interventions. Tamaka shwasa is one among major disease explained in Ayurveda is caused due to vitiation of kapha and vata. In classical context different treatment modalities has been explained. Among these, the administration of drug through nasal as Nasya and using the drug in the form of fumes as Dhumapana. Present day the management of same is done by Nebulization, so there is a need for the assessment of new drug molecule as a treatment. Various research databases were used to obtain the required literature. References and details regarding Nebulization in Ayurveda were collected from various published research papers and previous works done. After screening and diligently going through these databases, 10 research works are obtained. The present article discusses the utility and merit of these 10 researches.

An experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2000-01 to 2002-03 at village Pal, Mainpuri under NATP programme for harvesting the potential yield of medicinal plant garlic to making the KVK model, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur. The site of pilot project situated in sodic land affected area of SWSAZ-IV of Uttar Pradesh. The main objective of study was to harvest the maximum yield of garlic from salt affected soil. The secondary objective was to fulfill the need of consumer and medicinal manufactures. The soil of pilot area was salt affected. Four treatments i.e., conventional system/farmers practice (73.20 kg N +115 kg P2O5 + 25 kg ZnSO4 + spaying of Tresol @ 1.25 lit/ha), 120 kg N + 60 kg P205 + 60 kg K20/ha, 120 kg N + 60 kg P205 + 60 kg K20 + 25 kg ZnSO4/ha and 120 kg N + 60 kg P205 + 60 kg K20 + 25 kg ZnSo4 + spraying of Tresol @ 1.25 lit /ha were tested. Application 0f 120 kg N+60 kg P205+60 kg K20 + 25 kg ZnSo4 + spraying of Tresol @ 1.25 lit/ha registered highest yield of garlic bulbs by 107.07 q/ha in comparison to other tested treatments. Combination of ZnSo4 @ 25 kg/ha increased the bulb productivity by 8.00 q/ha. Similarly spraying of Tresol @ 1.25 lit/ha increased the bulbs production by 4.06 q/ha and safe the crop from natural hazards i.e., from fog and frost. Application of 120 kg N + 60 kg P205 + 60 kg K20 + 25 kg ZnSo4 + spraying of Tresol @ 1.25 lit/ha displayed the maximum net profit by Rs. 408115/ha, which was superior over other tested treatments. The lowest net income was found under farmers practice. (Rs. 254440/ha). The highest BCR (6.53) computed with 120kg N + 60 kg P205 + 60 kg K20 + 25 kg ZnSo4 + spraying of Tresol @ 1.25 lit/ha, while lowest noted under farmers practice (4.45). The 1.60 fold net income increased under applied dose of 120 kg N + 60 kg P205 + 60 kg K20 + 25 kg ZnSo4 + spraying of Tresol @ 1.25 lit/ha.
