Insomnia is a risk factor for depression. Prevalence of Insomnia is high in women. Unani physicians have been successfully treating Insomnia (Sehar) through Nutool (Irrigation therapy) since ancient times but scientific documentation is not available. Hence it was decided to conduct single case observational open clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of Nutool (Irrigation therapy) in a case of Insomnia on scientific parameters
