Nasya: The Ayurvedic Nasal Therapy
Nasya is one of the essential therapies in Ayurveda’s Panchakarma treatment. It is intended to cleanse and nourish the nasal passages while promoting overall health. This therapeutic practice involves administering medicated oils, powders, or herbal extracts through the nostrils, regarded as the head’s gateway. Nasya purifies the upper respiratory tract, enhances mental clarity, and balances the Kapha dosha.
