NASYA
Nasya is a therapeutic procedure in Ayurveda that involves the administration of medicated substances through the nasal passage. It is a part of the Panchakarma system and is used to treat various disorders related to the head, neck, and respiratory system.
During Nasya, specific herbal oils, medicated ghee, or herbal powders are administered into the nostrils. The substances used in Nasya are carefully selected based on the individual's dosha imbalance and health condition. The nasal passage is a direct pathway to the head region, and by administering the medicated substances through this route, it is believed to have a direct effect on the brain, sinuses, and respiratory system.
The Nasya procedure is typically performed following certain preparatory measures. This may include steam inhalation to open up the nasal passages and loosen any congestion. Then, the medicated substance is gently instilled into the nostrils while the person tilts their head back slightly. The person is advised to inhale deeply to allow the medication to reach the appropriate areas.
Nasya is used to treat various conditions such as sinus congestion, headaches, migraines, allergies, respiratory disorders, and certain neurological conditions. It helps to lubricate the nasal passages, remove excess mucus, improve nasal breathing, and restore balance in the head region.
In addition to its local effects, Nasya is believed to have a systemic impact on the body. It is thought to balance the doshas, enhance mental clarity, calm the mind, and improve sensory functions.
In Sri Venkateswara Ayurvedic Hospital As with any Ayurvedic treatment, Nasya should be performed by a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner who can assess your health condition, dosha imbalance, and suitability for the procedure. They will customize the treatment plan and select the appropriate medicated substances to ensure safety and effectiveness.
