Nasya is a key therapeutic practice in Ayurveda involving the administration of herbal oils, juices, or powders through the nostrils to cleanse and purify the head and neck region. Recognized as one of the five Panchakarma detoxification therapies, Nasya is primarily aimed at eliminating excess doshas (bodily humors) from the sinuses, throat, nose, and head. The process begins with a gentle massage and steam application to the face and chest, preparing the nasal passages for the treatment. Beneficial for treating sinusitis, headaches, migraine, chronic colds, and neurological disorders, Nasya improves breathing, enhances sensory functions, and promotes mental clarity. By directly affecting the area above the shoulders, Nasya therapy strengthens the head’s organs and fosters a sense of rejuvenation.
