Understanding Nasya: Ayurveda’s Nasal Detox
The Science Behind Nasya
In Ayurveda, the nose is considered the “doorway to consciousness” – a direct pathway to your brain. Nasya therapy involves administering specially prepared:
• Medicated oils
• Herbal powders
• Nourishing ghee or milk
through the nasal passages to:
✔️ Flush out toxins and excess mucus
✔️ Improve oxygen flow to the brain
✔️ Balance the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)
✔️ Strengthen sensory organs and mental function

|---|---|---|
| Pradhamana (Dry Powder) | Severe congestion, sinusitis | Ginger, black pepper, licorice |
| Taila (Medicated Oil) | Anxiety, dry nose, Vata imbalance | Anu Tailam, Shadbindu Tailam |
| Navana (Herbal Decoction) | Hair loss, tinnitus, headaches | Brahmi, ashwagandha extracts |
| Bruhana (Nourishing) | Nerve disorders, fatigue | Medicated ghee, milk |
