Vidian neurectomy and ida/pingala circuit

Spirituality
#1

Hello,

I've been suffering allergic and vasomotor rhinitis for the past six years and what doctors here have prescribed me is all about corticoids and chemicals, something I've rejected. This disorder is really disrupting my normal life and yoga sadhana.

I've read that vidian neurectomy, namely cutting off the two nasal nerves responsible for the disorder, is effective to a satisfying degree.

My question is: Could this affect my nadi shodhana practice and the proper functioning of my Ida and Pingala nadis? Or in other words: Does disabling a nerve disable its subtle counterpart -the nadi- as well?

I remember having read that those two nadis "start their route" from the nose.
I'm not 100% sure but I think the nerves I'm talking about are those labeled as "External/Internal nasal branch" in the pictures below.

I know this is a complicated issue, and nobody has the exact answer. Please let me know what you think about.

Thank you so much.

Hello Sir,

Have you tried an elimination diet, effectively eliminating all animal products and wheat products etc. to see if you have an undiagnosed food-allergy? I have personally experienced a radical change in my physical state from incorporating fasting and herbal concoctions. When the body is bogged down with mucuss a whole variety of serious allergies and illnesses emerge.

Best of luck on your path.
Pranams to you for choosing the yogic life.

Hello,

I’ve tried all that. It works to a great extent. It doesn’t eradicate completely the issue.

Thanks.
